Configuration |

|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 44 |
|
|
| 45 |
|
1. On the access control administration page ("administer >> user management |
| 46 |
|
>> access control") you need to assign the "administer copyright" |
| 47 |
|
permission to the desired user roles that are allowed to create or edit |
| 48 |
|
copyrights and configure the module. |
| 49 |
|
|
| 50 |
|
Owners of content nodes will be able to select a copyright from the list |
| 51 |
|
of available copyrights. They don't need the "administer copyright" |
| 52 |
|
permission for that. |
| 53 |
|
|
| 54 |
|
All users will be able to see the assigned copyrights. |
| 55 |
|
|
| 56 |
|
2. On the content type settings page ("administer >> content management >> |
| 57 |
|
content types") you can for each content type for which the author can |
| 58 |
|
select a copyright, enable or disable the copyright selection. By default, |
| 59 |
|
all content types have this disabled. |
| 60 |
|
|
| 61 |
|
3. You can find a list of available copyrights on the copyright overview page |
| 62 |
|
("administer >> content management >> copyright >> list"). Here you can |
| 63 |
|
also set the default copyright to use. This copyright will be used on |
| 64 |
|
every page and for every node, unless set otherwise for nodes. |
| 65 |
|
|
| 66 |
|
4. By default, the site copyright block is displayed in the footer. You can |
| 67 |
|
change this on the block administration page ("administer >> site |
| 68 |
|
building >> blocks"). |
| 69 |
|
|
| 70 |
|
5. Each user can set his own default copyright to use on his account edit |
| 71 |
|
page ("my account >> edit >> license"). |

|
Customizing your theme(s) |
| 82 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 83 |
|
|
| 84 |
|
To customize the appearance of the copyright notices you can: |
| 85 |
|
|
| 86 |
|
* edit the 'copyright.css' file to your taste, or |
| 87 |
|
|
| 88 |
|
* implement the copyright theme hooks in your theme. |
| 89 |
|
|
| 90 |
|
The copyright module adds two theme hooks: |
| 91 |
|
- theme_copyright_footer - displayed as node footer, |
| 92 |
|
- theme_copyright_block - for the inner text of the copyright block. |
| 93 |
|
|
| 94 |
|
Use of these hooks is not required. If you don't modify your theme to |
| 95 |
|
have these hooks, a default layout will be used for copyright notices. |
| 96 |
|
These hook functions can be customized within themes in the standard |
| 97 |
|
way. See the "Theme developer's guide" at http://drupal.org/node/509. |
