I am wondering if it is okay to replace the string "Powered By MyBB, © 2002-2011 MyBB Group" at the bottom of the page with an image stating the same information?
What file/s would I have to edit to place the copyright in the center of the page instead of the left side?
Another thing I would like to know is what file would I have to edit to comment out the following which is found on the bottom of the page:
Generated in 0.0744829 seconds (80.48% PHP / 19.52% MySQL)
SQL Queries: 9 / Global Parsing Time: 0.0496328 / Memory Usage: 2.75 MB
PHP version: 5.2.17 / Server Load: 0 / GZip Compression: Disabled
[advanced details]
Thus will only be seen by admins. Not by normal users.
And about the copyright you should ask MyBB developers
Does the image display the same text and link back to our website? If so, then yes, that would be acceptable. Refer to [wiki]Help
upport_eligibility[/wiki] for detailed information about our support eligibility policy, specifically the Minimum copyright section.
As for the debug information, even though it can only be seen by administrators, you can disable it by going to Admin CP > Configuration > Settings > Server and Optimization Options > Advanced Stats / Debug information > No.
Thanks, I'm okay with the fact that the debug info is only viewable by admins. As far as removing the copyright info and MYBB link, well, that would just be disrespectful as can be considering such a fine product offered free with free support and quick/friendly support at that.
How would I get such an image to display in the center of the footer though?
Still much empty space there when not in admin mode and maybe a sizable image would fill it a little. As I said, I have no problem with the copyright, in fact, I'm soon putting together a resource page on my site where I'll list everything being used that i didn't put together myself. If it saves one person from searching for days looking for something it will be well worth it.
MyBB is free open source software. You can do whatever you want with it. However, in order to receive support from us, you must keep the powered by notice in your footer. Basically, if you need support, you need to support us too. That's all there is to it.
So just create an image that displays "Powered by MyBB" and make it link back to our website. For example:
<a href="http://www.mybb.com" target="_blank"><img src="images/example.gif" alt="Powered by MyBB" /></a>
Thanks faviouz,
What file do I need to modify to insert the image in place of the text string?
