Whenever I publish a new document, or template, a link to this site (http://www.etomite.com/) is displayed no matter what. How can I get rid of this? It messes up my templates, horribly mind you.

Also, I'm having trouble updating snippets, mostly the old SimpleBlog (I use that 7 or 8 times) snippet. Please help me!

Also, my password for the admin account was saved incorrectly, because I use the same password as my MySQL database, and I have that password stored in a .txt file. Now I can't login, and after 3 tries I'm SOL. I'm really getting pissed off at Etomite. Phase 0.5.3. was nearly perfect, barring some problems. This is just a major pain in the ass. frell this. This is the second time I installed it and it didn't work correctly. I am seriously pissed now.

You'll need to use phpMyAdmin to change the blocked field from 1 to 0, within the user table.

And rather than whine about it, switch to another CMS if you're not happy - no one forces you to use it.. it's called FREE WILL

Forget it, I already started to uninstall it. Installation number 3 underway. If it doesn't work this time I dunno what I'm gonna do.

All you should need to do is empty the config.inf.php file within the manager/includes folder, and make sure your install folder is still there

Thanks, can you help me with that manditory link? I deleted the poweredby snippet, and none of it is put in my templates at all. Why are they included in there?

Ok, I can, but you need to make sure that you have agreed to Alex's Terms & Conditions....

I kindly request you leave the copyright notice and the link to etomite.com intact to show your appreciation of the time I and the contributors to the Etomite project have (freely) spent on the system. Removal of the copyright notice and the link, without the permission of the author, may affect or even cause us to deny any support requests you make. By leaving this link intact, you show your support of the project, and help to increase interest, traffic and use of Etomite, which will ultimately benefit all who use the system. To save bandwidth, you may remove this message, as long as the link and copyright notice stay in place.

I read somewhere that you need to provide Alex with something etc...
If you open index.php, it shows tells you you're allowed to remove it under certain conditions. Already having a link to Etomite is one of the conditions that qualifies removal. Easy as that. If you already have a link, you can remove the link placed by Etomite.

As mentioned in another forum thread, you can remove the Etomite blurb, with restrictions... Search the main index.php file for "Content managed", or look at the code starting at line 327... The explanation is given there, as well as the code which produces the message... I just adjusted the code for adaptation to my template...

As for your login problem, one of the first things you should do on a new install is to create a secondary admin account so you don't get locked out again...

I found out the problem, and *crosses fingers and knocks on wood* I haven't had any mess ups. The problem was, I was cutting and pasting the password in the setup form (yeah, I know you shouldn't do it anyway, but I wanted to make sure I had the right password), but it wasn't until the third installation I relized that you can't copy and paste passwords if you don't want to get all asteriks. I guess that's what happens when your too busy being pissed because the installation page doesn't tell you to CHMOD all the files in assests...

I edited the index.php, but I would like Alex's permission to do so. Obviously I'm not selling this, but I will add a link in my copyright if neccesary, I just find it looks very unprofessional, and very PHPNukish (ewww). Also, when I click on edit a template/snippet/etc, I get sent to the Etomite copyright page. Anyone know why? It seems to be like every 20th link inside the options tree sends me to that page. I don't think the script was coded to do that if the copyright link was deleted, or altered in anyway (I just edited the link so it displays nothing and the lines aren't skipped), but this happens.

The thing is always clicked though.

Alex, is there anyway to remove that manditory link without having Etomite blow itself up (I wasn't having problems until 20 hours after I removed the links) ? It's very, very ugly, and I would rather not have it there. I just have a feeling if I remove it again, I'll experience the same problem as before. I love Etomite to death, I do, but I use iFrames, and a very nice looking layout, and that link appears twice every page (one in the layout page and once in the content page) and that big ugly thing isn't fair to me, who designed the site to look exactly like that withour some huge homage to this CMS.

Hi,

I did the following things to get rid of this link. I'd only had one time a redirection to the CMS homepage about copyright thingies.

Find the method

addNotice ()

in index.php and replace the whole function with this:

function addNotice($content, $type="text/html") {
}

Now find this in index.php:
$documentOutput = $this->addNotice($output, $type);

and replace with this:

$documentOutput = $output;

Alex better should have made this thing a snippet which is placed in the default template shipped with the CMS like all other systems does. I don't know of ONE system placing this kind of stuff in the core code.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Remon

I removed the link because I read the thing in index.php that permits me to do so if a link is placed to Etomite's site on everypage, which is it is now. I'd like to apologize to Alex for being a jerk about this whole ordeal. Etomite is the best thing out there, and even though I could live without it, it makes running my site (which uses the NewsLister snippet about 5 times ) sooooo much easier. Thanks for making this great CMS, and again, I'm sorry for being such an ass, I didn't read that notice as carefully as I should have.
