Footer Edits

[Ronald]

SMF 2.1 RC1 can someone explain how to add some text in the footer, like copyrights, etc.

Where do you edit?

[Bigguy]

Index.template.php is the file to edit. At work right now on my phone. I will have to tell you the rest later

[Bigguy]

In your index.template.php file, down near the bottom find this line:

Code Select Expand

// There is now a global "Go to top" link at the right.Under that you will see:

Code Select Expand

echo '
 <ul>
 <li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help">', $txt['help'], '</a> ', (!empty($modSettings['requireAgreement'])) ? '| <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=help;sa=rules">' . $txt['terms_and_rules'] . '</a>' : '', ' | <a href="#header">', $txt['go_up'], ' &#9650;</a></li>
<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '</li>Under that add a line like this:

Code Select Expand

<li class="copyright">', $txt['Aff'], '</li>
In your index.english.php file in the laguages folder of your theme you now have to put in a text string for the line you just made:

Code Select Expand

$txt['Aff'] = 'SMF Helper is in no way affiliated with Simple Machines.';You will see in the footer were that shows up. I hope this helps.

Got it. Put it in the index.template.php, shows up great in the footer.

But this is not in the files..

Code Select
$txt['Aff'] = 'SMF Helper is in no way affiliated with Simple Machines.';

If you are using a custom theme than you will not have that index.english.php. Look in the default theme languages folder for it.

I just put the same in the default skin in the index, template.php and it showed in the footer.

Now in the index.english.php what location does if go in, there are a lot of text in there.

I did like you explained;$txt[;Aff'];'Text'; got some error on a white page. removed it and the white page left.

I usually just pick a blank space and put it there. Making sure I space things out a bit.

What you have here is not what I put in the code.
