Plugin added copyright notice to $cronimage

Hey guys,
I installed a bad plugin that shows a copyright notice when $cronimage is called. I've uninstalled the plugin and it is still there. I've looked around in the phrases, database and templates and can't figure out how to remove it.

I found this code in it's install XML if that helps:

Code:

';

                $vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($str_ga,$str_ga.addslashes($vbulletin->options['advert_ga']),$vbulletin->templatecache['footer']);

        }

        

        $advert_copyright = '<div class=\"smallfont\" style=\"text-align:center;\">PluginName By <a href=\"http://www.domainname.com\">&nbsp; XYZ</a></div>';

        $str_copy = '$cronimage

        <!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->';

        $vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($str_copy,$str_copy.$advert_copyright,$vbulletin->templatecache['footer']);

Any ideas on how I could remove this?

Thanks.

I've tried asking the mod dev, but have got no help from him (he probably thinks I'm trying to remove his copyright). Is it possible to tell where the HTML was added to?

The footer template?

(But this looks more like a run-time edit i.e. its added when the PHP code is executed...)

No its not in the footer template. The only way Ive figured out how to remove it is by removing the $cronimage call in the the footer template. But obviously I can't do that. It's a strange thing.

Follow these instructions: Help! I've broken my board!

Does the copyright still appear?

Open the footer template, then save it again. It may be that it has been stored in the cache. Re-saving it should fix this if it is the case.

Most likely Opserty already gave the correct answer in post #5

Thanks for the help guys, but none of those suggestions worked. The only way I can get it to go away is to remove code "$cronimage" from the footer. Then it doesn't show up, but obviously I can't leave it that way.

Re-saving the footer doesn't change it. I tried searching through my DB using PHPmyAdmin but I'm not sure what I'm doing enough to mess with that.

If I disable my plugins using the code "define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);" then it disappears.

I've searched my phrases and templates and there is nothing that matches the website address he has used. It's weird.

There is the important line! Did that not work? :p

(Remove that line if you haven't already done so).

So, now go through the Plugins in your Plugin manager (the ones related to this product) and disable them one by one till the copyright disappears. You seem to have found the problem in the XML (and when the xml file is imported this data is then stored in the Plugin Manager) so I'm not quite sure why you haven't figure this out so far.

P.S. From the XML file you should be able to find the Plugin name (it will be near the piece of code you posted in your original post). Else if you can find it just follow the instructions in the previous paragraph.

Thanks Opserty! I found it in Plugin Manager like you said. Awesome!
