Edit the index.php file.

You could do that or you could use the built in functionality of Artisteer.

Simply go to the top of the screen and hit the down arrow beside the Export button.
Select "Export Options"
Under Properties type your name or company
Enter your website (if you have one) under Author URL
Then, under the Footnote tab, ensure that include author backlink is checked...
you should get something like this as a footer:
"Designed by WebPresenceDesignLab" (or whatever your company name is and this will be a hyperlink if you have entered a URL)
Note if you check the "Include CMS and Artisteer backlinks" you will get something like this:
"Joomla template created with Artisteer by WebPresenceDesignLab" with Joomla, Artisteer and your company name being hyperlinks.

Hope this helps and will save changing the index.php file.

Now if someone can tell me how to change the three dashes after the "Copyright" text without editing the index.php file, I'd appreciate that!

Hi Frank,

If you already upload the site in your joomla.

The only way to edit is through index.php at the bottom part.

for the copyright, find this code:

<?php echo artxPositions($document, array('bottom1', 'bottom2', 'bottom3'), 'artblock'); ?> <jdoc:include type="modules" name="banner6" style="xhtml" /> <div class="Footer">  <div class="Footer-inner">   <?php echo artxModules($document, 'syndicate'); ?>   <div class="Footer-text">   <?php if (artxCountModules($document, 'copyright') == 0): ?> <p>Copyright &copy; 2009 ---.<br/> All Rights Reserved.</p>


for the creator stuff, find this code:

</div>

<div class="cleared"></div>
<p class="page-footer"><a href="http://www.artisteer.com/?p=joomla_templates">Joomla template</a> created with Artisteer.</p>
</div>


hope that helps

hi zeusrw,

On artisteer template, I believe you can only edit the copyright through index.php.
but ive seen some templates that the copyright is separated from the index.php

Ill let you know if I found another way to edit the copyright without using index.php

Customizing the Footer

To customize the template footer via Joomla administration place one or multiple modules into the "copyright" position. This will replace the default copyright text included in the template footer with the new content provided by the module.

Here are sample steps to configure custom footer:

1. Go to Joomla Administrator (www.your-site.com/administrator) -> Extensions -> Module Manager.
2. Click "New", select "Custom HTML", then select "Next".
3. In the module properties specify:
* Title - Show Title: No
* Position: copyright
* Custom Output: (the desired footer content)
4. Save your changes.

You can now use the newly created module for further footer customizations without utilizing additional modules.

it's not mine, just copied and pasted it here...

Hi,

I discovered if you go to

For Vista:
1. C:\Program Files (x86)\Artisteer 2\Library\Data\Templates\Joomla\Common\Glyphs
2. open in your web editing program the Footer.html file and change the --- to the text of your liking.
3. save the file.

Artisteer has to be closed to do the above... then,

Start the Artisteer program and open your template, the text gets changed without having to go through the joomla panel.

I followed their recommendations for the module but the style was not working...

You can't do it in Artsiteer you need to add your logo through CSS or HTML

zeusrw,

If you enable the Joomla Footer module and assign it to the "copyright" position, it will replace the three dashes with your site name.

Why wouldnt they design this with footer editability from the start...thats dumb

This program needs to work like Photoshop, where you click becomes the active picture or text area and then the menu comes up for that section only.

:-)I followed "jericho Posted: 6/2/2009" and it was just perfect. The editor could place a image also.
In my opinion it's the most perfect solution, as it is easy to do, flexible to change, and do not need any FTP och programming skills of any kind. Just to edit in the editor.

Jerico, I'm trying to find a solution for replacing the "Designed by" text in v4.1. Have you been able to figure out a hack for this as it seems they've removed the ability to hack the code as in previous versions, now I have to manually change every footer link after exporting javascript:insert_smiley(':-@')

Thanks in advance.

John
