'Powered by' removal

**StoneHalo** · 14th January 2004

Hello all,

Does anyone use Coppermine photo gallery? - http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/

If so, have you any idea what file the 'Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery' text is located in?

I need to remove this and place it in my footer file but they have 'hidden' it somewhere!

They won't help on their forums because they don't want anyone removing it (I just want to MOVE it) even though the GPL licence states it is fine to remove it if you wish.

Thanks for any help

Get Textpad (www.textpad.com) or similar editor like ultraedit as they all are similar. Then select search -> find in files, type in the text you are looking for, select the directory on you local machine with the site in it. Hit the tit and it will find all instances of the text and edit away...

Is this intergrated into vbulletin? If so does coppermine create its own templates? If so search one of their templates and you may find it.

Unfortunately, searching for the text doesn't work, they must have used some sort of code to produce the text in the browser.

Other than the user database, there is no integration with vB.

Are you searching in just txt files? You need to search in more than that. Extend the file extensions when you do the search and you might have more luck.

its quite simple - They often arent too obvious and use a string like $version try looking for that...

Or look for powered by... $Version or something

I've done a search must be doing something clever, I can't find it anywhere. I'd need to install it and see it running to work out exactly where its coming from.

It might be grabbed from elsewhere...

(e.g.) index.php calls pagefooter() - comment that call out and it's gone, but...

if you want to change it, the function is defined in the theme being used and does this: echo $template_footer; which is set in load_template() in functions.inc.php. that function decodes a base64 encoded serialized array which has inside it the message itself:

Code:

Array
(
    [l] => {GALLERY}
    [s] => &lt;div class="footer" align="center" style="padding-top: 10px;">Powered by &lt;a href="http://coppermine.sf.net/" target="_blank">Coppermine Photo Gallery&lt;/a>&lt;/div>
)

ok?

Thanks bananas

I was with you until the 'base64 encoded serialized array...' :coffee: How do I edit the text you pasted above? :nowords:

Thanks

the easiest way to sort it is to insert something after this line:

$tmpl_loc = unserialize(base64_decode(LOC));

in functions.inc.php - it's line 352 in the copy I have here. comment out that line, and the one before it's a waste of time too:

$tmpl_loc = array();

and stick something like this in:

$tmpl_loc = array("l" => "{GALLERY}", "s" => '<div class="footer" align="center" style="padding-top: 10px;">Powered by something else</div>');
