Ambox notice.png The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions]

If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so:

  1. Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab.
    (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.)
  2. Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab.
    Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again.

Notes


Purpose of the Mod

TNG V10 moved the contents of the footer.php to genlib.php to allow easier footer switching for Mobile Mode Display. While it is still possible to add User Site Copyright information to the template footer.php file, it is now easier to modify the code in genlib.php.

This mod adds a site specific Copyright to the TNG footers so users do not need to edit the footer.php file nor other TNG files to do so, but rather update the Custom Copyright Start in Setup >> General Settings >> Site Design section and change custom text variables as appropriate if they want different text displayed.

This mod further ensures the Site Copyright is displayed on the Print pages and PDF created pages.

V12.0.1.8-GDPR version puts the Data Protection Policy on a separate line and adds an Imprint link if enabled

Requirements

  • a working TNG installation.
  • a backup of your TNG genlib.php and tngpdf.php files or access to your original TNG installation package.
  • V12 of the mod requires that you have updated your cust_text.php files to the new anchor comments

Automated Installation Requirements

  1. Download the appropriate mod configuration file as shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page
  2. Unzip the 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 private_notes_for_admins.cfg.
  4. NOTE - if your site is using the TNG-WordPress plugin, you have to go to your WordPress Admin page to the TNG settings and click the "Update TNG Variables" button AFTER you have entered your start date and Custom Footer Message.

In the event of a problem

  • Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
  • copy your backup genlib.php file to your root TNG folder

Custom Text

The following custom text is provided for the English and English-UTF8 cust_text.php files


// added for User Footer Copyright mod
$admtext['copyrightstart'] = "Custom Copyright Start Year";
$text['usercreatedby'] = "Created and maintained by ";
$text['usercopyright'] = "Copyright ©";
$text['userrights'] = "All rights reserved.";

Note that the copyright symbol is not entered as shown above in the English and English-UTF8 cust_text.php updates made by the Mod Manager cfg file because the file is ANSI and I do not want to provide both an ANSI and UTF8 version of the cfg file. HTML special codes only work when displayed by the browser, which is not the case with creating a PDF file.

If you want different text for your site footer, then the easiest thing to do is to add the text variables you want to override to your cust_text.php file after the mod is installed. Do NOT modify the mod, but either manually or with an override mod add your changes to the cust_text.php file at the bottom of the cust_text.php file just before the terminating ?> line.

Since PHP uses the last occurrence of the $text variable, you can add the custom text variables you want to change after the mod is installed. For example, you could add the following after the above either manually or as an override mod

//  My overrides to the User Footer Copyright mod
$text['userrights'] = "Please contact us with your suggestions.";

French

My French translation is as follows. The file download was removed since HTML codes for accents get displayed as test strings. It is easier to update the cust_text.php file directly in the correct language folder where the files should already have the correct charset encoding. Note that I show the copyright symbol in this case since the cust_text.php will be in the correct encoding.

// added for User Footer Copyright mod
$admtext['copyrightstart'] = "Année de début des droits d'auteur";
$text['usercreatedby'] = "créé et entretenu par";
$text['usercopyright'] = "Droits d'auteur ©";
$text['userrights'] = "Tous droits réservés";

Visualization of this mod

The User Footer Copyright mod adds a Custom Copyright Start Year field for you to enter the year you originally launched your TNG web site.

It also uses the Site Name and Site Owner fields and some custom text variables

to generate a Site Copyright statement

Known Issues

The following are a couple of known issues and how to handle them.

  • PDF Footer text now overlays the PDF creation date
  • Question mark is displayed for copyright symbol on public site and a square box in the PDF footer
  • User modified footer from a prior version of TNG
  • Will not work with Templates 6, 8, and 12 in TNG v10 until TNG V10.0.1 which will provide the updated footer.php files for those templates to use the TNG Copyright from genlib.php.

See section below on how you can modify the footer.php for these 3 templates until then


Text Overlay

To correct the text overlay if your footer copyright is now too long in the PDF footer, you can change the fontSizeLarge to fontSizeSmall in tngpdf.php around lines 442 and 478 so that they are


    $this->SetFont($footerConfig['font'], '', $footerConfig['fontSizeSmall']);

Question Mark Display

If your site is running as UTF-8 and you get a question mark display, then you need to change the Language in your Admin >> Setup >> General Settings >> Language from English to English-UTF8

Note that if you are running as ISO-8859-1 that you must use the English language and NOT English-UTF8 to avoid garbage characters before the copyright symbol.

Modified Footer

If you use a modified footer.php or your own template, you need update your footer to include the code used by TNG v10, as shown in the changes needed for Template 6, 8, and 12 above.

Template 6, 8, and 12

TNG version: 10.0

The footer.php files in Template 6, 8, and 12 were not updated in TNG V10 for the change made to the footer for Mobile Mode Display. If you want to use this mod with those templates, you can change the following code in the footer.php file


TNG version: 10.0.1

Note that the footer.php file for these templates was fixed in TNG 10.0.1


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

to use

            <?php
                $flags['basicfooter'] = true;
                echo tng_footer($flags);
            ?>
