Hello! You can edit footer in the footer.php, which is located in templates–>ja_sanidine–>footer.php. I hope this information will be helpful to you.

“templates–>ja_sanidine–>html–>mod_footer–>default.php”

Go to your modules, and search for the module that is placed under the “footer” position. You should be able to edit it or create a new custom one with the text you want.

Hope it helps 🙂

Thank for showing me that. I saw it before, but I did not understand most of the coding that was in it… Can someone break it down for me?

defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die(‘Restricted access’);

global $mainframe;

$date =& JFactory::getDate();
$cur_year = $date->toFormat(‘%Y’);
$csite_name = $mainframe->getCfg(‘sitename’);

if (JString::strpos(JText :: _(‘FOOTER_LINE1’), ‘%date%’)) {
$line1 = ereg_replace(‘%date%’, $cur_year, JText :: _(‘FOOTER_LINE1’));
} else {
$line1 = JText :: _(‘FOOTER_LINE1’);
}

if (JString::strpos($line1, ‘%sitename%’)) {
$lineone = ereg_replace(‘%sitename%’, $csite_name, $line1);
} else {
$lineone = $line1;
}

require(JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath(‘mod_footer’) );

you can understand if you open en-GB.mod_footer.ini language file of mod_login (languageen-GB folder)

FOOTER=Footer
FOOTER_LINE1=Copyright © %date% %sitename%. All Rights Reserved.
FOOTER_LINE2=<a href="http://www.joomla.org">Joomla!</a> is Free Software released under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html">GNU/GPL License.</a>
MOD_FOOTER=<em>mod_footer</em>

Hello —

May I suggest an easy alternative method of updating your footer.

In Joomla 1.5 go to module manager
1) De-activate your current footer module.
2) Add a NEW module – on the first page that comes up select custom HTML. and click next.
3) Now select FOOTER as the module position. At the bottom of the page enter the footer text you want to display on your site, ie “Copyright © 2008 YourSiteorCompany. All rights reserved. ” Click SAVE.

That’s it. Of course you can always add a new module with custom PHP code if you need anything more sophisticated. I don’t recommend that you change the code / text in production modules, because you may lose all your changes when upgrading and keeping track of these configuration changes is a hassle.

Good luck.
.. Scott
