You may find that you’d like to add a disclaimer to the bottom of your niche stores. This is a pretty easy thing to do.
My instructions to add a disclaimer to your site: |
|
|
Step One
|
|
| Open Notepad (or equivalent) and write down what you’d like your disclaimer to state. | |
| The disclaimer I added to my My Little Pony store reads: | |
|
|
| Step Two | |
| Convert your text to HTML. | |
| I tried to find an easy way to do this but was unsuccessful. If you have an HTML editor (such as Dreamweaver) then you already know how to convert the text to HTML. If you don’t have an HTML editor then you can download one and use that. | |
| If you don’t want to do that then you can copy the code below and edit the bold text as you wish (there are many other HTML codes that can be used but this is the simplest): | |
|
|
| The above code will be centered. You can modify it in many ways, including: | |
|
|
| If you want to remove a line then delete the entire sentence including the <br> tag. | |
| If you want to add another line then add your sentence and add <br> at the end. | |
| If you want spaces between your sentences then add an additional <br> at the end of each sentence. It will look like <br><br> after each sentence. | |
|
Step Three
|
|
| Log in to your site’s Admin and click on the ‘Template‘ tab and ‘footer.php‘ link for the template you are using. | |
| Save a copy of the original code (click here for instructions on how to do this). | |
| Copy the above code and paste it in one of the following places: | |
|
|
| NOTE: There are other places you can put this code. You can play around with positioning it to see where you like it best. | |
| Save changes and view site for errors. | |
|
done
|

Hey Rochelle,
I would be interested in this as well…. Is there a way to change the color of the font here?

Hi Tambra,
Check out the instructions at http://www.nichestorestrategie.....your-site/. That will change the color of your code, as well as the content areas of your site. It makes for a very nice change, in my opinion.

Joette,
Yes, there are several ways to accomplish this. Perhaps the easiest way is to follow the instructions at http://www.nichestorestrategie.....your-site/ .
Doing the above mod will change the font color in your footer as well as content areas of your site.
If you need a different method let me know.

Great directions as usual Rochelle.
And good advice, I’m backing through my sites and adding a disclaimer.
Thanks,
Jamie
Nice work yet again!! Hey quick question, is it possible to automate the SiteName.com part of the disclaimer? Would code like: work?
I’m wanting to create generic footer for my BANS templates so its appears automatically when I create a site.
Shawn,
I think I know what you are asking but am not positive. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you are wanting a way to have way for a generic footer to automatically be created when you install a new BANS site.
If so, yes, this can be done. You would need to modify your BANS folder (if you install BANS from your computer each time, then modify the folder you have on your computer; if you install from a RAW-BANS folder from cPanel, then modify your RAW-BANS folder).
Specifically, you would modify the footer for each theme you might use to include your generic footer.
You can follow the instructions at http://www.nichestorestrategie.....he-footer/ on how to add generic code to your footer.
This is something I do for all my sites. My generic footer includes a ‘Privacy Policy,’ ‘Sitemap,’ and ‘Contact Us’ links. After I install a new BANS site I go into the footer.php file and update the links to that particular site.
If this is not what you wanted to know please provide me with more details and I will try again.

Hi Rochelle,
You’ve hit the nail (almost) entirely on the head. I’m already in progress with my raw-bans files on cpanel. What I’m wondering about is using “SITENAME” tag used in other parts of the footer.php code (sorry, apparently the mention of this tag didn’t show up in my last comment which certainly changed my intended message) to automate the disclaimer - to minimize the repetition of making modifications to the “footer.php” itself with each new site build.
Is this possible? I’m looking to setup all of the modifications you list on your site on the pre-build raw-bans folder on my cpanel. I’m wondering how much of it can be automated? The less for me to have go in a tweak the better.
