Copyright & Footer Links

[All Colours Sam]

more than 10 years later, a new version has been released

- support for SMF 2.1.x
- removed the enable setting

[Rick53]

You were very fast. Thanks very much. 

But I misunderstood. The Mod shows a text in the footer. My wish was to insert a link instead.
Example: Text "imprint" combined with a link.
Can the mod be supplemented in this way?

Used HTML Tags.

[Rick53]

It worked! So easy ...
Thanks

[All Colours Sam]

Yes the textfield admits plain text as well as any HTML tags, just be aware of who has admin access to your forum since there is no sanitization or otherwise any kind of filter.

The mod reports the following error: https://i.postimg.cc/wvR8nX1y/Dnevnik-gre-aka.png .

The mod works fine for me.
With HTML link or as text
SMF 2.1.3 with Curve2, PHP8

The mod reports the following error: https://i.postimg.cc/wvR8nX1y/Dnevnik-gre-aka.png .

Probably some other mod, since this one uses hooks, CustomCopy.english is the last (or first) file that gets loaded and PHP incorrectly assumes the error comes from that file.

Many thanks for the mod, it makes life easier to update a modified theme I altered based on the Curve theme. 👍🏻

If like me, you prefer your sites copyright up top. Use this edit:

CustomCopy.php
/public_html/Sources
Find

Code Select Expand

/* Buffer time */
function CFL_Buffer($buffer)
{
global $modSettings;

if(empty($modSettings['CFL_foot_links'])) {
return $buffer;
}

$customCopy = $modSettings['CFL_foot_links'];
return preg_replace_callback(

'/(<li class="copyright">.+?)+(<\/li>)/i',

function($match) use ($customCopy) {
return ($match[1] .  ' ' . $customCopy);
},
$buffer
);
}


Replace

Code Select Expand

/* Buffer time */
function CFL_Buffer($buffer)
{
    global $modSettings;

    if (empty($modSettings['CFL_foot_links'])) {
        return $buffer;
    }

    $customCopy = $modSettings['CFL_foot_links'];
    return preg_replace_callback(

        '/(<li class="copyright">.+?)+(<\/li>)/i',

        function ($match) use ($customCopy) {
            return ($customCopy . ' ' . $match[1]);
        },
        $buffer
    );
}
Key change is:  return ($customCopy . ' ' . $match[1]);

The mod reports the following error: https://i.postimg.cc/wvR8nX1y/Dnevnik-gre-aka.png .

FWIW posting error messages as screenshots are unfortunately bad in many ways because eg. users are not finding them when searching with the forum search (like it was the case for me), these are not getting indexed by search engines and similar.

Instead please use the "code" BBCode for posting these which i'm doing now:

Code Select Expand

Guest
CLI cron.php
/var/www/html/Sources/Security.php (Line 1358)
Backtrace information

Type of error: Cron
Error message Select
2: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/Themes/default/languages/CustomCopy.english.php:1)

A solution for this will be posted next / separately.

So i noticed the same error, did some research and found these two postings which are talking about something called "BOM" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark) which seems to get inserted by e.g. Windows editors in edited files:

https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=586993.msg4168307#msg4168307

https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=573373.msg4057112#msg4057112

and Bingo after inspecting the file:

Code Select Expand

$ file Themes/default/languages/CustomCopy.english.php
Themes/default/languages/CustomCopy.english.php: PHP script, Unicode text, UTF-8 (with BOM) text



After editing the file CustomCopy.english.php and removing the BOM (Please use your favorite search engine how to do this with your favorite editor) the BOM is gone within the file:

Code Select Expand

$ file Themes/default/languages/CustomCopy.english.php
Themes/default/languages/CustomCopy.english.php: PHP script, ASCII text



At least for me the error messages in the logs are now gone as well.

Forgot to mention that all three included language files seems to use that BOM (all others of the Mod are fine):

Code Select Expand

find . -type f -exec file {} \;

./license.txt: ASCII text
./readme.txt: ASCII text
./package-info.xml: XML 1.0 document, ASCII text
./remove.php: PHP script, ASCII text
./languages/CustomCopy.english.php: PHP script, Unicode text, UTF-8 (with BOM) text
./languages/CustomCopy.spanish_es.php: PHP script, Unicode text, UTF-8 (with BOM) text
./languages/CustomCopy.spanish_latin.php: PHP script, Unicode text, UTF-8 (with BOM) text
./redirect.txt: HTML document, ASCII text
./install.php: PHP script, ASCII text
./CustomCopy.php: PHP script, ASCII text

Hint for:

Please use your favorite search engine how to do this with your favorite editor.

For vi/vim it is e.g.:

Code Select Expand

:set nobomb

There seems to be also tools like eg. dos2unix which can do the same.[/code]
