Hi,

For my website I want to edit the copyright. I don't want to loose my visotors, so I want to open the link to PHPFusionin a new window. Is this possible? I looked around the code, but I can't find the lines. So it is not for removal of the copyrights, but I don't like that the link has got the same window as target.

Regards,
Paul

Unless you pay for a removal of copyright as far as I'm aware, Admin's correct me if I'm wrong but that's editing the copyright. Which is against the GNU ( or what ever it is ).

Such a type of editing a copyright should be allowed. And if I'm right, you can edit copyright in administration.

In includes\theme_functions_include.php find:

Code Download source
$res = "Powered by <a href='http://www.php-fusion.co.uk'".$link_class.">PHPFusion</a> copyright &copy; 2002 - ".date("Y")." by Nick Jones.<br />\n";


Replace with:

Code Download source
$res = "Powered by <a target='_blank' href='http://www.php-fusion.co.uk'".$link_class.">PHPFusion</a> copyright &copy; 2002 - ".date("Y")." by Nick Jones.<br />\n";

Nope, Its violates the GNPU / GNU. You must keep all copyrights in place.
" I don't want to loose my visotors, so I want to open the link to PHPFusionin a new window. Is this possible? I looked around the code, but I can't find the lines. "

That there is violating it. Its called Un Authorized editing,

But by the idea you violate the GNU license by removing or somehow making the copyright invisible.

Do some reading:

Quote

This means that the copyright footer of PHPFusion may not be altered in such a way that it doesn't display our copyright notice in a way that isn't "convenient and prominently visible", meaning that no popups linked to graphic images, no tooltip-like solutions linked to images etc, are allowed.

With adherence to that, the Copyright Footer must contain the following:

• "Powered by PHPFusion" is optional but is requested for clarity purposes;
• Copyright PHPFusion 2002-2010 Nick Jones
- with "PHPFusion" linking to http://php-fusion.co.uk;
• Released as free software without warranties;
• Link to the Affero GPL version 3 license;
- http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.


http://www.php-fusion.co.uk/viewpage....?page_id=6

Opening http://www.php-fusion.co.uk in a new window has nothing to do with removal of copyright.

Feel free to change to the solution WEC posted in post #4 there is not violation there, all your doing is adding target='_blank'.

Nope that is no good, I can not click the link and when hover it's gone.

The Footer notice must be prominently visible.

That is right, but users always try to modify and than ask if it's within the copyritgh licence agreement, which is not always clear.

Sure that is why we are writing the new license page, so that it will cover questions like yours and many others.

What I can suggest is easy, Do not alter the Copyright on the footer notice and there will be no problem.
It's only some text not the end of the world is it?

An end solution could be not editing the copyright information at all so it doesn't go against GNU, but such a type of editing in copyright should be allowed. You can also try editing copyright in administration.

1. Its not GNU its AGPL.
2. Open link in new window, sure why not, go ahead.
3. As long as the link and text is there, we are ok.

End of discussion.

Also, the copyright footer must be available on all pages of your sites.
