ECShop Latest Version 2.7.2 Complete Copyright Removal Method

For ECSHOP 2.7.2 UTF-8 version copyright information, I’ll divide it into frontend and backend, since both have it. Generally, removing it from the frontend is enough, but sometimes even the backend needs modification.

Frontend copyright removal methods:

For “powered by ecshop” in the TITLE, find includes/lib_main.php line 143… For copyright info in META (many people seem to miss this - you can see it by viewing page source), comment out includes/cls_template.php line 1087…

For “powered by ecshop” at the bottom of the homepage, modify languages/zh_cn/common.php line 158…

Also themes/default/library/page_footer.lbi line 64 (Powered by Ecshop)…

After removing the title copyright info, you’ll find “powered by ecshop” appearing randomly - this is JavaScript misbehaving. Find js/common.js starting at line 261, remove or comment out onload = function(){ }…

OK, at this point the frontend copyright has been completely removed.

ECSHOP 2.7.2 UTF-8 version backend copyright removal methods:

To modify the ECSHOP text in backend TITLE and frame pages: open language file /languages/zh_cn/admin/common.php and modify (first 3 lines).

To remove “Help” and “About ecshop” links at the top of backend: comment out admin/templates/top.htm lines 194 and 195.

OK, now both frontend and backend are clean.
