Getting rid of copyright

Hi,

I have this text at the bottom

Your IP Address is: 220.74.220.77
Copyright © 2007 Zen Cart. Powered by Zen Cart | Red Passion theme by CssTemplateHeaven

I know how to get rid of the last bit but everything which I have highlighted here in red I can't find.

I have had a look in the languages/english folder but can't see it.

Where do I change/delete all of this.

Thanks

You can turn off the IP address display in the admin under configuration->layout settings. It's near the bottom of the list as Footer - show IP address.

The Zen Cart copyright is in includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php. Just be aware that if you remove the Zen Cart copyright, your site can't be listed in the showcase.

Thanks, but I have looked there (and just looked again) and can't see it...is it the bit at the top? I deleted this but it still shows? :dontgetit

Look in includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php for the bit I've highlighted in red below. Yours may be a bit different since this is from the default english.php file.

// FOLLOWING WERE moved to meta_tags.php
//define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');
//define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');
//define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping');
// END: moved to meta_tags.php

  define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>');

If you edit this, DO NOT delete the whole line. Delete the part between the single quotes ' ' leaving the quotes.

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', '');

or you can edit just part of the text.

Thanks again :smile:

Breaks are good things... necessary, too. :smile:

Since I just now also got to actually changing content, I found this helpful.

I don't like the pages to be copyrighted to Zen Cart, so I changed that, yet I left the Powered by Zen Cart, since tbh, the pages are truly not powered by ME :laugh:

Do the pages have to be copyrighted to be showcases? Isn't it enough that they are "Powered by Zen Cart"?

Right now I'm making layout changes to my own template, and I've changed some basics in CSS to reflect the former web-pages, which I will include in the shop as well, in high hopes of making them superfluous once the store opens. Back to work now...

I think you're right. It's the "powered by" that has to be there for the showcase. I changed the copyrights on the sites I webmaster for.

I would like to change the copyright info but when I open this file is does not look like the example shown, it's just a lot of words all jumbled together and I can't find anything about copyright in it. I am finding it under includes/languages/english.php - there isn't another folder under languages for my template. This is the only file I can find with the name english.php.

Look at post #4 above. The line in red prepares the copyright output, using a bunch of PHP code to dynamically look up and show the correct information including the current year for copyright. The result of all that code will be HTML that says what it is supposed to say.

When you say "all jumbled together", do you mean one big run-on line? That might indicate that you are using the wrong kind of program to read the file. (What are you using?)

Sometimes FTP can mess up the formatting in a file. Try using Crimson Editor or Notepad++.

If you are going to change includes/languages/english.php, copy it into includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php first and modify it there, or all your changes will be lost in the next upgrade/update.

Just a tip here on YOUR_TEMPLATE make sure you have it the same name (folder) thoughtout your site when you make a custom folder (YOUR_TEMPLATE)
otherwise your site will not work properly.
