find this line in footer.php and change to your liking...


<p id="copyright"><?php echo sprintf($lang_common['Powered by'],

Re: Removing 'Powered by' in footer

Thanks KeyDog, I know how to do it, but I ask for permission first big_smile I don't want any troubles later...
You think I can ? Do I have the right to do it?

Re: Removing 'Powered by' in footer

This is just my personal opinion;

but if you help this project in return (say with translations, helpful comments in this forum etc) , it's worth much more to the community...

You have my (unofficial) blessing big_smile

Re: Removing 'Powered by' in footer

Sorry, I need an official blessing  big_smile

I'll just short the Link for now, thank you!

Re: Removing 'Powered by' in footer

why would you want to remove the "Powered by PunBB"?

You can remove copyright messages from the pages of your site, but you can't remove them from the source code.

Re: Removing 'Powered by' in footer

Call me crasy, but I want people to see my Forum and say something like:

Oh my god, this men Rocks ! He has class.  big_smile



Not like:

Tsss this is PunBB, I know this forum, I've seen it befor... this men sucks...  mad

lol, (Just kiding) anyway, you are right  gpolenza. They deserve the credit for the tremendous work they have done.
So ok, there are two links down the page, I'll just leave one.  smile

I LOVE PunBB. They need only one thing more that will make them perfect in my opinion: "Work harder on the themes options.".  sad

On your second thought? I understand how you feel. smile

Although they agreed to allow, it's not nice to remove the credit unless you're supporting the development. I always feel to remove the credits on forums or web templates. Once, I actually did that without asking permission. I started to felt uneasy. I know lots of hard work went into developing it so, I decide to have it back and never remove any credits.

By the way, if your forum guest or member found out that you're using this particular forum script and have removed the credit, it shows that you're not other people's work. tongue

P.S. Just my opinions, it's your freedom to do or not. wink

Locate at PunBB root, named 'footer.php'.
