New Templates Copyright

Hello,

It used to be I could insert links into the copyright field before, now those HTML tags are stripped. It is important for me to link from the client's sites to my site. How can I fix it without messing with the template and hard-coding it? I'd still like to use simplicity of updating the copyright (with the link) in the template admin area.
Thanks.

Hi

Unfortunalety there is no other way than hard code that. You can find a right file to do that in /layouts/blocks/footer.php

Thank you. I really wish this feature would come back as it was in Joomla 1.5. As you may understand the only reason people pay for template clubs is if they make money using your work. The more referrals from our work we get, the more money we make, the more site licenses we buy from you. So, please think about it and try to get it somehow back in the future. You are doing fabulous work. I am a big Gavick fan.

Hi

Sure, good point. I'll write programmers about this request.

Hi guys,

I have got a trick to do that, check at https://www.gavick.com/forums/financial ... tml#p72376

Cheers,

Hi

A trick is ok But I'm trying to convince guys to use a html for copyrights as default, because it's not the first time I'm answering this question.

Hi

I got a reply from programmers:

It is more Joomla issue that template, since Joomla 1.7 HTML stripping is enabled by default and we can't change this because we use simple Joomla text fields in admin panel.

Thank you for trying. I am not a programmer, so I cannot understand, if changing templateDetails.xml does the trick, why not do it for all the templates? Thank you again.

Hi

templateDetails.xml will not work. This file is only telling joomla how params are called and what type of the field should it be. Result of filling settings form is processed by joomla core engine. And such engine is stripping this code to avoid a content structure which may destroy database. On the other hand this can be possible if module would have it's own table in database, unfortunately this is a topic for a pretty big code changes.

Well, the workaround did work, and hope will continue working. Try it. Pity, I have now do this to every project (which is not hard). Thanks for the code change, Don Lee.

Thanks for letting me know that. Feel free to ask if you need any other assistance.

Have a nice day,

You can use filter="raw" in templateDetails.xml which renders out html stripping for that field only.

See following link.

Code: Select all

See you guys around...

Could you not insert the code you want into a custom-html module, then place that module in the copyright position?

Of course you can do that, but when template setting has copyright feature obviously users will want to use that

See you around...

Hi

Ok. So is it solved or not ? Can we please close it already ?

CMYKreative, this is something I did not think of. Would be a good solution if the templates had the copyright module position. The problem is the latest templates do not seem to have it.
I think you can close this discussion. Just wish you guys could change that code as Don Lee advised so that we could use the old convenience of inserting and updating links in the template manager.
Anyways, I love your designs and functionality of your templates.
Gavick is the best, please continue making us happy with new and even better designs.
Keep up the good work!

We rarely use a templates copyright functionality anyway, it's usually way quicker and easier to add a new copyright module position (if it doesn't already have one) and then drop a module into that position. 2 mins work.

Hi

Exacly. That's the best option. If someone is interested in this kind of solution here is a link about how to add new module position https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/

In this case a file where to add it is easy to find because with every template it's called footer.php

Yay! Someone agrees with me! lol

Topic solved I guess

Hi

There is no point to dissagree. It's a good solution Ok. I'm closing this miles long thread.

Hi guys,

This bug is fixed now please upgrade your template to the latest version to get it.

Cheers,

Hi

Ok. Thank You for info Don
