I am very much a beginner--not a programmer--building my own site so be easy on me. I am using Joomla. I cannot figure out how to modify "Copyright © 2009 ---.
All Rights Reserved.
from the bottom footer of my page at http://www.LaurenSellsHomes.com. This is the same thing that shows up on my Artisteer Template so I think it's coming from the template not from Joomla but I'm not certain. I don't know anything about programming,--please help. Thanks, Lauren

1. Go into your joomla admin
2. Go into your template manager.
3. Click on the active template name.
4. Click on EDIT HTML button.
4. Near the bottom you'll find the code for the copyright...
<div class="art-Footer-text"> <?php if (artxCountModules($document, 'copyright') == 0): ?> <p>Copyright © 2009 ---.<br /> All Rights Reserved.</p>
Just edit the text you want to change... either change the text or remove it by commenting it out ( read this article about commenting out code: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/comment.php)

To place one or more things on copyright position visit following link, it'll replace the default text: http://www.artisteer.com/Default.aspx?p=help_joomla#joomla3

Hi,
regarding calsnoboarders post: If you do this at this case, isn´t it right, that you have always to do this after you changed your template design with artisteer and transferred to Joomla?
Is it possible to change this hard-coded text into Artisteer? If not, I guess this is a must have for the next version

If you have a module in the "copyright" position, it will place what's in the module instead of what's in the index.php file. The copyright info in the code can be edited, but then it has to be changed manually.
So... why not create a module with your copyright info, place it in the copyright user position and be done with it. The "Copyright 2009 ---" text in the template will be hidden if you use the Joomla backend to create a copyright module.

Yes, I agree with Tom, Artisteer provided a step by step guide to do it from your Joomla admin: http://www.artisteer.com/?p=help_joomla#joomla3

The only problem with setting up a module in Joomla to do it, is you have to add that to every Joomla site that you set up.
IMHO, since the 2009 date is something that Artisteer is generating, it makes more sense to fix Artisteer so that the default setting for any new Joomla themes say 2010. Then it only has to be fixed the one time, instead of fixing it in Joomla each time someone generates a new theme.
I've not downloaded the new beta version of Artisteer yet, so maybe the new version addresses this, but in the meantime, this is what I did to solve the problem and haven't had any issues with it that I can see.
*Disclaimer: Try at your own risk.  Not responsible for any problems or issues that may occur if you try to tweak this or any other Artisteer program file.*
Just go to your Artisteer2 directory, meander your way down through the directory structure, until you get to the FooterText.html file here:
Artisteer 2\Library\Data\Templates\Joomla\Common\Glyphs\FooterText.html
Just open in notepad, change the date from 2009 to 2010, and save.
When you reopen Artisteer, any new themes created should have the correct copyright year.

This is a solution for simply changing the year, but when I have to edit the index.php to get rid of the "---", I really don't mind changing the year too.
The solution to putting in a copyright module is so that I can hand off the final template to a client and show them the module they can edit to change the copyright information.
Depends on how the template will be used I suppose.

If you want the year to change automatically then go and get this module http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/custom-code-in-modules/1758 install it and publish it to the copyright position - in the mudule add this PHP script
<?php print "Copyright - "; echo date("Y") ?>
That's it

It seems strange to me that there is no way to input/edit the copyright info from within Artisteer...
This is such a basic element, and one which a template creator would used (and possibly change) on every tempate.
And even if it was not a function of the template creator, you would think it would be a stock module from within Joomla.
With all the greatness that these two apps offer, you would think... Hmmm.

Copyright info is so subjective and should be open for the website owner to place and format specific to their template design. Artisteer offers a position for copyright info and Joomla has a simple way to add a module and place it in whatever position you want. I think that's the best solution and not sure how Artisteer or Joomla missed anything.

I agree with Larry......if you are the website administrator and developer then you should have the option of changing the Copyright date and automatically reference the website name thereafter within Artisteer. Why NOT take out the extra step of editing the HTML in Joomla or the index.php file if it is NOT going to be edited?? So we kill two birds with one stone and if needed the new website owner can change it via the old school method themselves!
Who else agrees?

Why cannot this be added to the "Export Options" menu like all the other potential unique stuff specific unto each template?
