Automated Installation

  1. Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
  2. Extract the downloaded zip file to your 'mods folder.
  3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the appropriate source_title_display.cfg file.
  4. The mod affects only the relevant files in the Templates folders (footer.php for all templates and index.php for templates 1,2,3,4,5 and 7).
  5. If you are not using Admin / Setup / Templates Settings then you will need to manually modify the footer.php and (if appropriate) the index.php in your root folder as desribed in the following Manual Installation section

Manual Installation

If you are not using TNG v8.x.x Admin / Setup / Templates Settings locate the footer code in the footer.php and (if appropriate) the index.php in your root folder. NOTE that Templates 6 and 8 do not have the footer code included in the index.php file, and that in Template 4 the line in footer.php file does not contain 'class="footer"' . Locate the lines that have the following code:

   <?php echo $text['pwrdby']; ?> <a href="http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php" 
   class="footer">The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding</a> ©, <?php echo $text['writby']; ?> 
   Darrin Lythgoe 2001-<?php echo date('Y') ; ?>.

and replace with:

   <?php include ("{$cms['tngpath']}version.php"); </nowiki>
   echo $text['pwrdby']; ?> <a class="footer" href="http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php">
   The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding</a> ©, v<?php echo $tng_version; ?> 
   <?php echo $text['writby']; ?> Darrin Lythgoe 2001-<?php echo date('Y') ; ?>.

leaving out class="footer" from this line if modifying footer.php of Template4.

Note that in the actual code the copyright symbol '©' appears as '&' followed by 'copy;'
