Question, clarification on copyright footer

LittleBrother · June 30th, 2004, 12:43 PM

I have full paid version of RP. Can I remove the powered by RP footer. I dont want my competitors scoping out exactly which software I use for my forums and reviews, etc. I usually remove this stuff. I may have missed this point during purchase.

Thanks,
LB

Oh well, bummer. I went back and read the agreement. Man that sucks. Oh well.

Right, no you cannot.

I beleive if you read the licenses of most software you can not remove the copyright. Some software has the option to pay a fee to remove the copyright as we do. You can email customer service if you wish to inquire about that

Ok thanks. Yeah the other ware I run on my site including IPB allows you to remove the copyright with the regular full license which I thought it would allow me to remove when I bought it. I guess I didn't read close enough.

Thanks for all the help. I think I have this thing running and I am beginning to slowly wade through the templates to get our html and logos inserted.

You should not need to weed through templates to insert html and logos inserted. You can edit the header.htm and footer.htm to create whichever html you need to place up around etc the program.

I added my table to the header.htm and saved it and reloaded my review main page and nothing happened. So I added it back into indexheat.tmpl and whallah then I have something at the top of my main page.

So I am not doing something right to make edits work the way you described. I am guessing there is an explanation? Oh well. If you see this again please comment.

Thanks

I may have missed the point of the question here, but if you are trying to use your own header & footer it really is easy to do so (so easy in fact i can do it).

Create a seperate template for each (i called mine slant_header.htm & slant_footer.htm) then put them in the main directory. Then on the options section in the admin panel type, type the relevant file names in the sections which pertain to the header and footer...

and there should be light.

Hope this helps, and apologies if i missed the point of your question

Little Brother you need to place the html in the header and footer files as I stated. You then need to link to them in the admin options under path to header and footer files.

Thanks, I got it all working. Maybe not as proper though. I will go back and do it that way if I have time. Thanks so much for all the help!
