Title: Copyright notice removal license
Post by: thisguy on March 21, 2012, 01:38:53 AM
Hi, I love your eCommerce solution, its great, thanks for everything you guys have done.  Additionally I would like to ask a question about removing Powered by: Abantecart.  I know this is copyrighted and probably illegal to remove without permission from the creators. However some Ecommerce sites allow for the purchase a removal license and my client might seek it.  Does AbanteCart offer a Copyright notice removal license?  Thanks

Thank you for your comments.

You can remove "Powered by: Abantecart" message from storefront and admin web pages. What you can not remove (as per AbanteCart license) is a copyright and license massages in the source files. These are in the heading of all the files. These messages are not visible to online users.

Hi,

Just a suggestion why not say on your website ask for a donation to remove the Branding from the back and front panel of the shopping cart??

Just delete this line:

<div class="pull-right textright"> <?php echo $text_powered_by ?> <a href="..." onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"
title="Ideal OpenSource E-commerce Solution">AbanteCart</a>
</div>

in this file: storefront>view>default_html5>template>common>footer.tpl

if you are using the default html 5 theme. I hope it helps.

Just to let everyone know. There is a whitelabel extension available for v1.1.8
You can put custom message instead of copyright. No coding needed.

Just installed that into my dev site - as first I thought it was not as full-featured as I had hoped.   I wanted to be able to have links.  The direction of Text caused me to think I could not use links.   However,  with testing I find can use HTML to add links, etc.  So all is good now.

Only caution would be that it you invoke this (turn it ON) you will need to have something in every field or make it blank.  ON impacts all the areas, Admin footer,  Store footer, email footer.

But for 10.00 bucks it's easier than having to find the code every time there is an update!

Thanks

To remove Abantecart from right bottom of pages use the below

to
      $this->data['text_project_label'] = $this->language->get('text_powered_by') . ' <a href=http://dahili.net>Dahili Net</a> ';

===========================================================================


to remove the same from emails

Storefront>view>default>template>mail>order_confirm.tpl
remove the line after this , low down remove line no 141 - remove below

Code: [Select]
<?php echo $text_project_label?>
should look like this after the change

Code: [Select]
<td class="align_center"
    style="font-size: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #069; text-decoration: none; color: #374953;">

In this new version unable to remove Powered By Footer. Tried the given method but only changed when we view the product page. Please update if anyone know. Troubleshoot guide in AbanteCart is also for earlier versions. No guidance for new v1.2.8.

Hi all,
I'm using version 1.2.8. I followed the guideline some discussion above but can not remove this one.
Pls help review and help me know how to remove this one.

Thanks so much

Easiest way is to just get Whitelabel https://marketplace.abantecart.com/whitelabel-abantecart-remove-labels-from-footer

It's worth the $15 and it allows you to change the text to whatever you want. 
Title: Re: Copyright notice removal license
Post by: tanluan on October 16, 2016, 09:55:17 PM
I solved this one already.
everyone can refer to my way to solve this
Open footer file

Done
