Coppermine

[Prel]

Hi ,

 

 

In the "footer" baseboard of the initial page of Coppermine have this:

 

Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery

 

As I make to edit and to add something there

"Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery --- My name or link my site"

for example ?

 

Thank´s

Not sure if you can add something after the Powered by... but here is how to do it before... (from Coppermine faq)

 

How can I add some output directly before the line "Powered by Coppermine"?

Edit /themes/yourtheme/theme.php, look for echo $template_footer and add the stuff you want to output in a line before it, like print 'My Link';

 

Hope this helps.

Quoted from their FAQs page:

You mustn't remove the line - it's part of the deal: you're allowed to use Coppermine on your site, but the line stays! It's more than justified to give credit where credit is due; be glad you're able to use such a great piece of software for free.

You are allowed to change the way the line looks by editing the CSS class to make it fit into the design of your site; edit /themes/yourtheme/style.css, look for the class "Footer" and change it as you wish.

Hope this helps.

Actualy, that goes against the GPL. Since coopermine is GPL based, you can do whatever you want with the code. At most, they can ask people not to remove the line but they can't prohibit anyone from doing so.

Hi,

 

I not desire remove the credits.

I only asked I eat to add something there.

 

Thank´s all

Paulo: Check out their FAQs page. They tell you how to do that.

 

Raul: I know...but as they said, it's basically a "give credit where credit is due" type of thing. (As long as the program is free, I don't really mind it!)

[borfast]

Exactly. I also don't mind about that kind of thing and I wouldn't mind leaving it in a gallery of mine if their README file asked me to do so.

 

I just don't find it acceptable for them to say that their software is Free (they say it's licensed under the GPL) and then saying you can't do certain things with it. It's the kind of (mis-)information that leads people to think that Free software is a bad thing :\

I agree with Raul;

 

Coppermine is completley within its rights to request that you leave the footer intact, but if they claim to distribute under the GPL license, then it is unfair that they demand that you leave the footer intact.

 

I use Coppermine, and I don't mind the footer. It just rubs me the wrong way when a company says one thing in its license and another thing in its documentation.

[TCH-Thomas]

I don´t mind the footer, but just so I understand this...

Let´s say I did remove the footer and they ask me why I did it and demand that I put it back, can I then just refer them to the GPL license?

[borfast]

Yes, you can Thomas.

But I'm quite sure they won't do that, because they know quite well that they can't stop you from modifying the software.

Thanks Raul.
