jerseyjoe Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I own a copyright notice removal license for a CC, bought very early on in the process of learning the product. Therefore, until I did a demo installation of a fresh copy of CC onto jump drive and onto a non-wireless laptop I did not see that there is a "nagware" notice of copyright iat the foot of the text in every one of the Site Docs (home page, about us, etc.). It says: "Please remember that there is a license fee to pay to remove or edit our copyright notices." This is not appropriate when I'm trying to demo the system to a client. Instead of the conversation being focused on the features of CC, we immediately get forced into "Are my customers going to see that if I don't buy a license? I thought this was open source softwatre? How can we get rid of it? Why is it there?" I could understand were it to be visible in the Admin screens - but I respectfully say it has no place in the published pages. It is, in effect, notice of a notice. If that logic is valid, we should consider ourselves fortunate that it is not the banner on every page - but it still is redunant (and repetitious) (and annoying). Which file generates it? Quote
Guest Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I'm not sure where you're seeing that, but neither of my stores has anything of the sort. Can your provide a URL? Quote
jerseyjoe Posted September 6, 2005 Author Posted September 6, 2005 I can't provide a URL because I fixed it. And even had I not, I could not provide a URL because the installation is a "local host" demo running CC 3.02 on one of those thumb drives that I can plug into the USB port of any computer and show what CC is like and how the Admin CP works. Thanks to good advice received here from a few very clever people, I used Mambo SAS that turned the thumb drive into a server. Wish I had known all that before I spent too many bucks on a laptop to do the same thing. I now am creating a half dozen demo stores (video games, choclates, ribbons, etc.) to show off some skinning variations. FWIW I found the generating lines in a file that, as I recall, is named something like "home.inc.php" in the skin style folder. Whatever the file is called, I am certain it was on line 6 and displayed as brown text in the color coded file editor I use (http://www.editplus.com/). At first I removed the text. That broke the board. So I simply changed the wording to something conistent with the site content. Quote
Guest Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 You obviously have something wrong with your install if you saw that on any page but the Admin Home. I searched the entire installation and the words you quote are ONLY displayed in the "Purchase CubeCart" box in Admin Home. It is assigned to $lang['admin']['misc']['run_unlicensed']. And the ONLY place in the entire application that is called is in the admin/misc/licForm.php which fills out that bottom "Purchase CubeCart:" box in the Admin Home page. Quote
Guest Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Hey jerseyjoe I'd love to know how to make the Mambo SAS thumb drive thing work. Quote
jerseyjoe Posted September 6, 2005 Author Posted September 6, 2005 I'll post it as a separate topic in General Support Quote
Guest Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 CubeCart is NOT open source software. It is a licensed product. If you don't buy a license, then copyright information must NOT be removed from the cart. Quote
