Editar Footer en Joomla!

En este tutorial aprenderás a modificar el mensaje del footer

Modificar Footer en Joomla!

En este tutorial se mostrara como quitar del footer el mensaje:

«Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.»

Esto es necesario en sitios de clientes que no quieren que se muestren links o mensajes de copyright que no sean de ellos.

Para poder cambiar este mensaje hay que editar el archivo version.php que se encuentra en la carpeta:

joomlaroot/includes/version.php

el codigo es:


<?php
/**
* @version $Id: version.php 1843 2006-01-15 19:41:35Z stingrey $
* @package Joomla
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved.
* @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU/GPL, see LICENSE.php
* Joomla! is free software. This version may have been modified pursuant
* to the GNU General Public License, and as distributed it includes or
* is derivative of works licensed under the GNU General Public License or
* other free or open source software licenses.

/**
 * Version information
 * @package Joomla
 */
class joomlaVersion {
	/** @var string Product */
	var $PRODUCT 	= 'Joomla!';
	/** @var int Main Release Level */
	var $RELEASE 	= '1.0';
	/** @var string Development Status */
	var $DEV_STATUS = 'Stable';
	/** @var int Sub Release Level */
	var $DEV_LEVEL 	= '7';
	/** @var int build Number */
	var $BUILD	 	= '$Revision: 1843 $';
	/** @var string Codename */
	var $CODENAME 	= 'Sunburst';
	/** @var string Date */
	var $RELDATE 	= '15-Jan-2006';
	/** @var string Time */
	var $RELTIME 	= '20:00';
	/** @var string Timezone */
	var $RELTZ 		= 'UTC';
	/** @var string Copyright Text */
	var $COPYRIGHT 	= 'Copyright (C) 2005 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved.';
	/** @var string URL */
	var $URL 		= 'Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.';

	/**
	 * @return string Long format version
	 */
	function getLongVersion() {
		return $this->PRODUCT .' '. $this->RELEASE .'.'. $this->DEV_LEVEL .' '
			. $this->DEV_STATUS
			.' [ '.$this->CODENAME .' ] '. $this->RELDATE .' '
			. $this->RELTIME .' '. $this->RELTZ;
	}

	/**
	 * @return string Short version format
	 */
	function getShortVersion() {
		return $this->RELEASE .'.'. $this->DEV_LEVEL;
	}

	/**
	 * @return string Version suffix for help files
	 */
	function getHelpVersion() {
		if ($this->RELEASE > '1.0') {
			return '.' . str_replace( '.', '', $this->RELEASE );
		} else {
			return '';
		}
	}
}
$_VERSION = new joomlaVersion();

$version = $_VERSION->PRODUCT .' '. $_VERSION->RELEASE .'.'. $_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL .' '
. $_VERSION->DEV_STATUS
.' [ '.$_VERSION->CODENAME .' ] '. $_VERSION->RELDATE .' '
. $_VERSION->RELTIME .' '. $_VERSION->RELTZ;
?>

Lo que debemos editar es la linea 40:


/** @var string URL */
	var $URL 		= 'Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.';

Esto lo cambiamos por lo que queramos por ejemplo:


/** @var string URL */
	var $URL 		= '©2006Mi sitio - Todos los derechos Reservados.';

Una vez que tengamos lo que queremos es hora de editar el archivo footer.php que se encuentra en el mismo directorio que el archivo version.php:

joomlaroot/includes/footer.php

el codigo es:


<?php
/**
* @version $Id: footer.php 85 2005-09-15 23:12:03Z eddieajau $
* @package Joomla
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved.
* @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU/GPL, see LICENSE.php
* Joomla! is free software. This version may have been modified pursuant
* to the GNU General Public License, and as distributed it includes or
* is derivative of works licensed under the GNU General Public License or
* other free or open source software licenses.
* See COPYRIGHT.php for copyright notices and details.

// no direct access
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

global $_VERSION;

// NOTE - You may change this file to suit your site needs
?>
(C) <?php echo mosCurrentDate( '%Y' ) . ' ' . $GLOBALS['mosConfig_sitename'];?>
<?php echo $_VERSION->URL; ?>

Este archivo lo editariamos para que quede de la siguiente manera:


<?php
/**
* @version $Id: footer.php 85 2005-09-15 23:12:03Z eddieajau $
* @package Joomla
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved.
* @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU/GPL, see LICENSE.php
* Joomla! is free software. This version may have been modified pursuant
* to the GNU General Public License, and as distributed it includes or
* is derivative of works licensed under the GNU General Public License or
* other free or open source software licenses.

*/

// no direct access
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

global $_VERSION;

// NOTE - You may change this file to suit your site needs
?>
<?php echo $_VERSION->URL; ?>

Nota: NUNCA quites el copyright del código de ningún archivo de Joomla! o de componentes, modulos, mambots, etc.

Eso es todo!

Espero que este pequeño tutorial les haya sido util.
