Removing the copyright from the shop front

When they go to upgrade ... they will all hate you ...

When they have security issues and payment issues and shipping issues etc. they will not be fond of you either ...

When they upgrade to v1.3.x and have to remake their templates on their brand new stores because they started with the old, out of date version ... they will also be pretty dang miffed about all the hours they spent working on that old out of date version when a new version has existed for months ...

But you do what you think is best ... we are just the silly authors of the code ...

Sorry i think we have miss understood things here.

What security issues are there with version 1.2.7? Was they not all patched then afterall? our clients mainly use nochex and paypal.

As for upgrading we dont expect our clients to do it we do it for free!, Hours they spent. More like the hours we spent as we set these sites up for them as they dont understand your complicated coding.

But thanks for you comments. :)

Each new version has, as a given, features that address:

bugfix issues

security issues

payment issues

shipping issues

addtional features

etc. etc. etc.

The Zen Cart v1.3.x series has a radically new template design ...

It will take people or you more hours than you care to devote to do an upgrade from v1.2.7 to v1.3.x vs an upgrade from v1.3.0.2 to the next version to the next to the next after that ...

The further along the new releases get, the more difficult it will become to upgrade a developed template without a lot of thought in addition to the upgrade of code ...

You are not going to want to experience this ...

And you will have customers who do not want you to hand hold and will not want to experience this ...

It is the difference between night and day ...

I am not telling you this because I have nothing better to do this afternoon ...

As a Developer of Zen Cart ... I am telling you this for your own good and the good of your customers ...

You do not want to start new shops on v1.2.7 ... that is just well ... frankly speaking ... plain foolish ...
