I wish to customize my index page, eg. following the FAQ advice:

How can I add some output directly before the line "Powered by Coppermine"?
Edit /themes/yourtheme/theme.php, look for echo $template_footer and add the stuff you want to output in a line before it, like print '<span class="footer"><a href="http://www.mylink.com/foo.htm">My Link</a></span>';


But I can't find the HTML codes in this page when I open it with dreamweaver.

How do I get  to see the code?  Is this the way to amend the codes of a page?

Pse advise.

thanks.

Don't use dreamweaver. Use a simple editor such as notepad.

if you don't have "function pagefooter()" on your theme.php then copy this:

// Function for writing a pagefooter
function pagefooter()
{
    //global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
    global $USER, $USER_DATA, $ALBUM_SET, $CONFIG, $time_start, $query_stats, $queries;;
    global $template_footer;

    $custom_footer = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['custom_footer_path']);

    if ($CONFIG['debug_mode']==1 || ($CONFIG['debug_mode']==2 && GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE)) {
    cpg_debug_output();
    }

    $template_vars = array(
        '{CUSTOM_FOOTER}' => $custom_footer,
        '{VANITY}' => (defined('THEME_IS_XHTML10_TRANSITIONAL') && $CONFIG['vanity_block']) ? theme_vanity() : '',
    );
    $template_footer=$template_footer.'<span class="footer"><a href="http://www.mylink.com/foo.htm">My Link</a></span>'; //Mod for custom MYlink
    echo template_eval($template_footer, $template_vars);
}

to your theme.php and change the line with "//Mod for custom MYlink" comment (I add your span ...)

I'm not familiar with PHP. I just want to make sure.
Pse check whether I've done it correctly:

Pse advise - and do I just save as theme.php ?

yes, but first you need to change the url and title of your link
