[DragonByte Tech]

What is Copyright Management?
Copyright Management from DragonByte Tech is a modification designed to merge all copyright footers from DragonByte Tech mods into a single line shown on all pages.

New in v2.0, you can also choose to compress the list of mods to a single link back to DBTech which will display a list of all the products you have installed.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Very very glad to see that my suggestion (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2289671&postcount=40) from the vBSecurity thread was taken on, and so quickly too. =) Installing it now.

EDIT: One suggestion. We have one DragonByte Tech mod (vBActivity & Awards) currently installed but not actually enabled currently, since we've not yet had the time to get it configured properly for the purpose we have planned for it. Previously, it didn't show up in the copyright notices, but with this addon installed it now is. Might be best if this addon actually checks if the other products are actually enabled on the forum before adding them to the copyright notice.

I'd have to rework the way it works, so it might come in a future version though :)

Copyright Management v2.0.1
Feature: No longer needs to fetch remote content
Change: Updated for the new Branding system
Fix: Now works for all DBTech mods

Fillip

[Bounce]

I get: -

Copyright Management requires the allow_url_fopen flag enabled in php.ini!

Is this a secuity risk if my host turns this on? Or can this product bypass this somehow, ive lots of your products installed and would like to keep certain ones 'hidden'

[DragonByte Tech]

It's only a security risk if someone has already broken the security on your server :p

This mod does not hide installed mods, it will either condense them to one line or link to a Details page on our server where all your installed mods will be listed.

Possibly aye but wont go into that, i'll ask about it, thanks, ive 5 DB Tech products so far :erm: installed and getting a bit busy down there lol:D

[sticky]

You have to have a mod to merge all the copyright footers from your mods? Hmm...

[DragonByte Tech]

Possibly aye but wont go into that, i'll ask about it, thanks, ive 5 DB Tech products so far :erm: installed and getting a bit busy down there lol:DThat's what she said :p

You have to have a mod to merge all the copyright footers from your mods? Hmm...Some of our most loyal customers / users requested it after they installed quite a few of our mods that appear on multiple pages, like Bounce there did :)

Since not everyone can afford a Branding Free licence, instead of telling people to suck it up we decided to provide a way for people to condense their footers to either a direct list of mods or one single link back to our site with the list of their mods displayed there.

That way, others who are interested in what mods a site runs still have a way of finding out which mods they want to try out for free :)


Fillip

[LLent]

just curious why does this have to be linked to the db server couldnt you have a page within your forum that has all the links of what you installed your not getting rid of the links but just from the footer ...

[DragonByte Tech]

The reason why it has to be linked to the DBTech server is so that it can fetch an updated list of modifications :)

Basically, this mod is a "set-it-and-forget-it" kinda thing, if you install it first and then install a new DBTech mod that we released a month later, within 24 hours the new copyright will be merged automatically without a need to install an update of this mod :)

when you install a mod without copyright management mod it automatically puts that link on the footer so what i am saying is why cant we have a page on our fourms that this does the same thing you click on details and it takes you to a page with all the links we have installed basically this is removing the links from the footer and cleaning it up but i would rather have a separate page on my forum still have the links and my users can click them as before as if they where in the footer

[LLent]

well is it possible to get a separate page with all our links on one's forum instead of linking to db i mean the links will on that page is what i mean

[Christos Teriakis]

It's at least unfair (not say illegal) to include your copyright in pages that are not really powered from any of your mods. To include a copyright in a page, needs the page's output to contain your code. eg Why if someone has installed your Quizz mod why you're showing your copyright in my Classifieds, or Auction, or Reviews etc etc pages? The fact that there is your mod name before says nothing as you don't have the right to show any of your links in that pages.

In anycase, I'll appreciate if you modify your code and exclude your copyright for pages where "THIS_SCRIPT" has any of the values below:
ads
adsusercp
adsmodcp
auc
aucusercp
aucmodcp
reviews
revusercp
revmodcp
extrapagesThank you

Can I ask what laws you feel our copyright notices contravene? Placing a global copyright footer is in no way illegal.

Unfortunately trying to create rules that will exclude certain pages while not accidentally excluding others (for instance "ads" or "reviews" are very common words/scripts which may be used in modifications WE create as well) is not practical.

We inform users of the nature of our copyright links (e.g global) and they agree to these terms when they install our work.

If a user wishes to display a copyright footer on their own website on a page that happens to also display your work, they are well within their rights to do so. Please be aware that accusations of criminal/illegal activity are very serious and should not be made offhandedly in an attempt to damage our reputation. We would appreciate it if you refrain from such baseless and libelous accusations in future.

Please respect the right for webmasters to have any copyright footers they wish on any pages they wish.

The summary page have to be hosted on our site, otherwise the performance of this plugin would severely decrease - we would have to send a lot more data back to your site regarding all our plugins.

Additionally, we minimize the amount of copyright displayed on your site with this mod for aesthetic reasons, but having links leading back to our site is a pretty central pillar of our business model, so we won't be able to fulfil that request unfortunately :(


Fillip

sadly i dont like this mod i dont want to be linked directly to your site server there has to be something else then you can do to clean up the footer i mean i like the details link but i cant see why there cant be a page with all the links in it that i have installed by just clicking details and not going to your site ...

unless there is something that can be done different this mod wont get installed on my site unfortunately

Nah thats ok i do know that is available and quite expensive just to remove your links

again you need to come up with a better alternative

[Christos Teriakis]

You are asking us to spend dozens of man hours customizing
I'll start thinking that you (who is responding) have no idea about coding. Is easy as 1-2-3 and does not needs more than 2 minutes.

1.- Just add the names that I wrote in an array. eg

$mods = array("ads","adsusercp","adsmodcp"......);
2.- Add the code below:

if (!in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, $mods)
{
.......show our copyright.....
}
In any case don't waste your time anymore. As long as you didn't said if it's fair or not (this was my original post), I'll follow your steps. Day by day I'll start releasing totally free mods like the ones that you're selling. In addition all will be brand free.

Community should be happy. What about you? Keep an eye in the new releases during this week.

Cheers
Christos Teriakis

PS: Sorry but there is no Managing Director in my side, that's why I added only my name, something that will follows me for life, while that "Managing Director" don't know how long should be stay under your name. Because "no sales... no managers..."

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks for the feedback. If we come up with anything we will update the mod.

[Zachery]

So, if you don't like their addons, don't use them?
If you really like their addons, but have an issue with their copyrights, purchase branding free?

I don't get what the problem is here.

[Zachery]

Its up to each and every addon author to do what they want with their addons, which includes (if they want) show a copyright on every page. Hell I'm pretty outspoken about this sort of thing: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2026781#post2026781

However, DBTech makes it clear up front about EXACTLY how the addon will display the copyright.

If you want to do the same thing, go for it, I don't think anyone is going to stop you.

There are no rules, or laws, or anything else about this. If the addon author DEMANDS that when you use their software, you must display their copyright, that is their choice. Your choice as an end user, is to use it, or not.

Your choice as a rival addon coder is to do the same, or do your own thing.

Worst than all (but superior marketing trick), they're trying to appear as they did it for the users' comfort. It's like when I read that vB released a version of vB3.8 compatible with PHP 5.x, to support the webmasters, while they did it (mainly) to have vB.org compatible with PHP 5.x.

This is completely untrue. vBulletin.org currently runs a custom version of vBulletin 3.6 with lots of modifications (file/plugins). Paul M, could have fixed any issues on his own on vBulletin.org without breaking a sweat if that was an actual issue.

vBulletin 3.5+ should run on php 5.2 just fine.
vBulletin 3.8.5+ runs on PHP 5.3 just fine
vBulletin 3.8.8 runs on php 5.4.

Now I can tell you for a fact we're not currently running php 5.4, even if we were, paul could apply patches, or make changes to the system as required.

3.8.8 was released for customers who needed php 5.4 support and want to remain on 3.x. Nothing more, nothing less. I actually pushed really hard to get a 3.8.8 released, and vBulletin.org was never a thought in my mind.

[BirdOPrey5]

PLEASE GET BACK ON TOPIC.

If you don't like a mod, don't use it. This mod breaks no vBulletin.org rules. Personal issues should be taken to PM or off site.

Users have to make up their own mind if they want copyright notices on every page.

Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

Democracy's main term is "I don't agree with what you said, but I'm ready to give my life for you, to be able to continue saying it".
So, as long as you replied to the real question, I respect and accept it. Wished to have such treatment from DBTech too.

Thank you for taking time to respond
Christos

I thought I had already made our position clear on it, but let me clarify for your benefit: As stated, we absolutely consider this fair play. We have no issue with other coders having global copyright links which show up on pages generated by our modifications and have never tried to hijack one of their threads to complain about it either.

We believe all users should have the choice of what copyright footers they choose to display on THEIR websites. If they wish to use a mod that requires a global footer, we feel they are well within their rights to do so, and we do not attempt to tell them what other mods they can or cannot use alongside our own.

As long as another modification is not interfering with/deleting our copyright or the functionality of our work we have 0 issues with it. We would certainly never attempt to publicly derail a coders thread simply because we disagree with his copyright terms. We feel that is petty and, to quote you, not "fair play".

Please refrain from trying to hijack any more of our topics with your attacks, there are other areas of vbulletin.org (or your own/our own site) more suited for it that won't disrupt the experience of users simply trying to post about our copyright management mod.

Iain Kidd

This is supposed to be a support thread for which dragonbyte attends to this and no one else.. last time i looked it said supported in first post ...

i might not like how this redirects to db as i have said but the db team is a hell of a group that takes care of all there member base here and on their site when you make suggestions they listen for the most part ... i agree that all the coder to coder nonsense should be taken behind scenes lets get back to the support of this mod which is why this thread is here in the first place ....

[Paul M]

It's like when I read that vB released a version of vB3.8 compatible with PHP 5.x, to support the webmasters, while they did it (mainly) to have vB.org compatible with PHP 5.x.
This is complete and utter tripe.
For starters, vb.org runs on vb3.6.x, not 3.8.x, so what use would 3.8.8 be to us :rolleyes:
If you want to be taken seriously, dont make up utter rubbish.


Now, as posted above, this is a support / release thread, so no more discussion about unrelated topics.

[Dennis B]

There is no 'Daily Cleanup' in the Scheduled Task Mgr anymore...?
There is only a Blog - Daily Cleanup...

[Hostboard]

I think it is real simple. DB puts forth a huge effort in coding and making these mods. I for one have purchase the PRO version of everything we use. On top of it I also buy the branding free. At this point I probably could have just purchased the global branding free and saved some $$$ but in all honesty I would rather just spend the extra $$$ and support these guys as they are one of the few coders left that are putting out quality modifications.

[Dennis B]

I totally agree with you Hostboard, they make some of the best mods for dB. I do think, however, that the 'global' notice should show on all default vB pages. There are not even that many. That would be fair to DBT and to other developers who also create mods that have new, custom pages with nothing to do with DBT mods. Just MHO.

Now if I could just get this mod to work...

[DragonByte Tech]

There is no 'Daily Cleanup' in the Scheduled Task Mgr anymore...?
There is only a Blog - Daily Cleanup...What version of vBulletin are you running? It exists in vB 4.2.1 :)

4.2.1

It says in the ACP "If yes, this changes the copyright footer to "Site powered by vBulletin Mods & Addons from DragonByte Technologies Software (Details)" but ours doesn't chant when it's set to yes or no.

[ozzy47]

Do you have any caching systems installed, if so clear them. Also try a hard refresh, Ctrl + F5 and maybe clear your cookies.

Copyright Management requires the "allow_url_fopen" flag enabled in
php.ini
Copyright Management will try to automatically turn it on when needed,
but if you receive error messages when trying to follow step 2.2, then you
cannot use this mod due to the "allow_url_fopen" flag being disabled.

/*================================================= =====================*\
|| 2. First Time Installation / Upgrade ||
\*================================================ ======================*/

1. Import the product-dbtech_copyright.xml file from the "XML" folder at
AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

2. Re-run the "Daily Cleanup" Scheduled Task from the "Scheduled Tasks Manager".

3. That's it! You can start editing settings.

[Bubble #5]

I remember reading that, but I couldn't find anything called php.ini.

I can appreciate that Coders and Addon writers want a credit for their work, but what this MOD does is give the impression that all the MODS and add ons on a board are by Dragon Byte, when there are probably some that are not.

I also don't like that you should have uncheck if you don't want to show the link to hi velocity hosting, the correct default would be to check it if want to show it.

I actually agree with Cristos that this MOD, actually infringes other MOD copyrights on pages where DragonByte MODS are not being used.

We provide this mod as an alternative for people who use a lot of our mods and don't want to see multiple copyright statements. We would be completely within our rights to not offer this mod and simply tell people who complain about copyrights to buy the Branding Free licenses or shut up.

Even though we lose visibility (and as a result, money) from providing this mod, and we also provide an option to disable the Hivel sponsor, you still want us to hurt ourselves more? I'm sorry, but to me that is an entirely and completely unfair request, bordering on rude.

[TheLastSuperman]

Now, as posted above, this is a support / release thread, so no more discussion about unrelated topics.

Per Paul's note above ^

I'm going to consider the discussion of why you feel their copyright mod infringes upon others copyright as such i.e. an unrelated topic, no more discussion of this it's ridiculous.


This mod merges multiple DBTech copyrights into one it does not hijack your copyright and rename it nor replace links within.
Word your copyright correctly to distinguish if need be.


If for example you had 10 DBTech mods installed, which way should it read:

1)
Powered by vBulletin™ version 4.2.1 Copyright ? 2013 vBulletin Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved.
Modifications © DBTech


OR

2)
Powered by vBulletin™ version 4.2.1 Copyright ? 2013 vBulletin Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved.
Mod name1 © DBTech
Mod name2 © DBTech
Mod name3 © DBTech
Mod name4 © DBTech
Mod name5 © DBTech
Mod name6 © DBTech
Mod name7 © DBTech
Mod name8 © DBTech
Mod name9 © DBTech
Mod name10 © DBTech

OR

3)
Powered by vBulletin™ version 4.2.1 Copyright ? 2013 vBulletin Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved.
Modifications name1, name2, name3, name4, name5, name6, name7, name8, name9, name10 © DBTech



Personally I see why they simply made it say:

Powered by vBulletin™ version 4.2.1 Copyright ? 2013 vBulletin Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved.
Modifications © DBTech

Because having example 2 is why the mod was made, example 3 would be just silly.


Keep this thread on topic which is support of this modification not its validity regarding infringing upon others copyrights with theirs when none existed to begin with or if it did, because it was not worded properly enough to distinguish between the two respectively.

[TheLastSuperman]

Cleaned up thread, as you were and more comments like that will simply be deleted.

also is there a wait to center the link on the botton? It shoves it to the right side under an already centered footer and look like crap

You'll only have to wait again if you install a new mod that we've only just released (not an update, but an entirely new mod) :)

Thanx for the update Fillip, this whole thing has been so...............well you know.

[qpurser]

Thanks for the update. Looks nicer now having the shorter version with the link to the "Detail" page.
I noticed the "Dragonbyte" link opens in a new page however the "Details" link doesn't and opens in the same page. For me personally it is better when our users don't leave the forum page when clicking on the "details" link.
I figured it out myself where to add the target="_blank" but maybe you could change the XML for the other users if you feel it is a good idea.

It may take up to 24 hours for the changes to be visible. You also need to make sure all DragonByte Tech mods are fully up to date, as old versions may not be able to have their copyrights merged.

Nice. Working well with vB 4.2. Good to see a simple Copyright.

I somehow dislike this stuff..
(please accept criticisms as we use almost all/many products from dbtech).

But appreciate the developer decision to have a single non-branding free notification.. in case we have multiple addons..

[DBTech] Copyright Management v2.1.1.zip (5.7 KB, 27 downloads As i can see now..

Installs: 107
vb.org bug or something else ??
Weird ?

[Zachery]

Don't have to mark it as installed to download it, and downloads reset everytime a new file is uploaded.

[Hostboard]

Can you please have the "Details" link set to open in a new window/tab?

[Alibass]

You can edit the xml file and add that yourself.

[GreyGhost]

Is there any way to pass the affiliate ID with the Details link?

I think the majority of clickers would use that link to see what mods you're running and from there they're more likely to make a purchase if they like what's being used.

Personally I think the amount of branding you guys add is ridiculous and is a big put off for me :(

If Ya really need to list all mods installed couldn't you just add a "click here" then it drop down with all mods installed? atm the footer just looks a mess.

if you check the settings you will see it does this is my footer and I have about 15 of dbtech mods

As someone who has started using your modifications on a new project I was at first disgusted by the amount of added branding you all put in. Then I realize the value of your modifications and that I would do the exact same thing (though not to the point of how much clutter it causes).

This is an excellent addition to the list of modifications I have installed because you resolve that problem. You make it so it one simple footer that addresses all mods which may be installed (sort of like a "mini-credits" page) which is far more proper.

Thanks for this great mod but I can't get it to work. It's been over 48 hours, all my mods are up to date and I've manually run the daily cleanup cron job many times but nothing...
I'm running this on 4.2.3
Can you please help?

Hello Fillip,

I offered to check into this user's query:

It looks to me like everything is configured correctly, and there are no errors reported when running the "Daily Cleanup."

I wanted to verify that all of Chloe's products are up to date, but I get an error when running "Check Version" from the product manager:

Version check failed. No version number was found at this location. The URL for the version check may be incorrect, or the server may be experiencing problems. Please try again later.


Could this be related to the issue at Chloe's site?

Also, she has her site turned off at the moment while doing other maintenance...would this prevent the Copyright Management system from functioning properly?

Thanks,

Mark.

I have the same problem. My vBulletin version is 4.2.3. When i trying to do version check, i get this error message: "Version check failed. No version number was found at this location. The URL for the version check may be incorrect, or the server may be experiencing problems. Please try again later." Also i tried to run daily cleanup task, but no changes appeared. Thank you in advance.

Version checks for our existing products may not work due to the change from HTTP to forced HTTPS, if vB's version checker does not follow 301 redirects.

Regarding the Copyright Management, an update has been released @ our site that should address this. I'll update it here @ vB.org in the coming hours and/or days :)

Ok, so .. running vBulletin 4.1.3pl8...

Downloaded and installed VB4 version of this mod...

Ran Daily Cleanup twice...

Footer still shows all the DragonByte mods with nothing collapased into a single line...

Do I assume that I now wait 24 hours or so and check it again?

Thanks...

Doug

Went to DragonByte site, located and downloaded version 2.1.2 of this mod, which is not the 2.1.1 version here and previously installed...

Installed this new version and noted that it actually went through the process of updating styles, which the 2.1.1 version we tried didn't.

Ran Daily Cleanup....

Checked home page and now all our DragonByte mods seem to have been collapsed into a single line, with the exception of Username Change. We are currently running v1.2.1 of this mod, but notice that on DragonBye site, the current version available for this is v1.3.1, which we've now downloaded, but haven't installed as yet ..

Regards,
Doug

ps: We also notice that Profile Hover v1.4.0 which we paid to be licensed for (since expired) also appears separately and not rolled up on the single line, perhaps because it's been updated on DragonByte site to v2.0.0. We're unable to update and test that theory, without paying more money to renew the license for that product. Unfortunately, we're a not-for-profit retired veterans site and exist by donations, so haven't go enough in our piggy bank to do that. The current 1.4.0 seems to still work fine, so I guess we'll live with the fact it probably won't integrate with this mod.

I'll update the recently released DBTech mods here @ vB.org later tonight. I've been very busy lately, and updating mods on vB.org is a time intensive process compared to releasing @ our site or @ XF, sorry about that :(

[BadgerDog]

v1.3.1 is the current version of Username Change here as well :)

Updated to v1.3.1 and it now appears collapsed on a single line, just leaving our expired license Profile Hover v1.4.0 as an orphan line outside the single line copyright ...

Copyright Management v2.1.2:
Fix: The mod would not work after DBTech's switch to HTTPS only
Fix: The "Hivelocity" link was still included in the output even though the option was meant to be removed along with the text
