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.

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

I don't know, I don't think so.

Tried already. No joy.

Did you follow all the instructions in the Readme file that was supplied in the zip?

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.

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.

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.

It can take up to 24 hours for the copyright to merge, does it work now?

Then it is your option not to use this mod :)

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.

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.

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.

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

Back on track :D.

and those who have ignored staff instructions will get infraction points, which can lead to suspensions and bans, enough warnings have been posted now.
