This hack will allow you to add your own custom copyright text below that of the vbulletin offical copyright. This hack is meant for those admins that don''t have much coding knowledge and don''t like to mess with the templates by adding things manually. But it can also be used by those admins that prefer not to get their hands dirty with the code so to speak and prefer to do things from the comfort of their acp.

Not being funny but if you go to
Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details -> Copyright Text And add you text there. and that does the same job. (From what the screen shots looks like)

I am very new to vBulletin. I purchased it only yesterday and I had missed that option. Thank you for pointing it out. I guess this thread can be deleted then.

Indeed. The thing is that vB is so rich in options that sometime you mis some. I was used to Smf that it had barely the most common features.

Inasmuch as there is already a field in Admin where you insert your copyright, what are you offering other than a separate, larger field to enter this info?
Peace,

Yeah function already built into default vb but since you new good try.

As I said, I like the idea of having a full textarea in which to enter this information, so I regard it as at least a partial success.
Peace,

Just call it something else, like "More Text Under Copyright"

Thank you for the suggestion. I changed the title.
Thank you for your feedbacks/comment guys, appreciate them all :)
Actually I was looking for something and thought this was it.
What I wanted to do (and probably will if someone else doesn't) is...
I *HATE* it when a mod adds a copyright to the bottom of every page on my website. I think it's wrong as their mod, doesn't power my entire site, usually only a very small section/feature of it.
Anyway, I believe in giving credit where credit is due though.
So, basically make a link under the current copyright that says something like "3'rd party copyrights". When you click that link, it opens a small popup window that you list all of the required copyrights there for the various mods.
That way, the copyright is still visible, it doesn't annoy the hell out of me and when you have 10 mods that all do it, it doesn't make the page scroll even further.
Anyway, that's the idea, what I want and hopefully someone else has the time to make it because I don't at the moment. ;) Seems this mod could be used to do it pretty easily though.

I think that you misunderstood what this mod does. This doesn''t add my copyright at the bottom of your forum when installed, but it enables you to add your own custom copyright text below the official vbulletin copyright notice :)

Sorry, yeah I know what the mod does. =) I'm saying that when I saw the mod, I was hoping for what I described is all. =)

I glad you found a way to get this to help people (if you understand me).
I might even use this for some links i want to add to my footer so i don't need to add them to all the templates each times i add a new style. Does this mod allow HTML in the text field.

developer why dont you change the orignal code to text area instead then release it as a product
here are the details you would need to modify
<phrase name="setting_copyrighttext_desc"><![CDATA[Copyright text to insert in the footer of the page.]]></phrase>
<phrase name="setting_copyrighttext_title"><![CDATA[Copyright Text]]></phrase>
<setting varname="copyrighttext" displayorder="80">
<datatype>free</datatype>
</setting>

I am not sure I understood you. It is already set to textarea. I think you have the wrong codes because this is the code that it is in my hack.
<setting varname="custom_copyright_text" displayorder="20">
<datatype>free</datatype>
<optioncode>textarea</optioncode>
<defaultvalue><![CDATA[<br />Enter here your custom copyright text.]]></defaultvalue>
</setting>

Yeah Like when I make a theme from scratch and want to brand it with "This theme's concept and design by SetiShock" Let's you pop in some bragging at the bottom.
I'm gonna nab this one too.

I could use this if you could add the use of variables in it. Like copyyear and bbtitle, among others, maybe. Otherwise, you can use the setting in the options to add the line.

Atm I don''t plan to expand this with extra features/options due to the lack of free time.

I suppose I can add it myself to your code.

Kindof a poor idea for a mod, not really needed as you can edit this info in the admincp.

At the time when I created it, I had just purchased vb and didn''t know that had such an option. However this can be used to add extra links at the footer as pointed above by other users. If you don''t find this mod useful, then you don''t have to use it. Come up with richer mod ideas yourself. I don''t really care :)

You want peoples opinions on your mod and I'm giving you my honest opinion on what I think of it. You don't have to like it but this is what I think of it.

Who said that you couldn''t express your opinion? You could think and say whatever you want about my mod/s. And I responded back with my own opinion :) All we had was a friendly exchange of opinions, that was all ;)

anyone test "Enchanced Custom Copyright" on Vbulletin 4.2 ?
wilford brimley

its better to not use the option in the forum settings. instead ad a <br> and jsut add yours to the phrase. that way there is no big gap and your copy goes right under vbulletins
