How to move theme_credit from sample theme to personal theme?

[asthecrowfly]

I have already read the copyright disclaimer and instructions which state that if the theme.php I am using does not include the theme_credit element then I need to copy from the sample theme. However, I found the element in the sample theme and I am not sure how to move it to my theme.php properly. I do not want to delete the credit I just want to tweek it to include our copyright information too.

Copy this complete section into theme.php immediately above the ?> (file end)

Code Select Expand

/******************************************************************************
** Section <<<theme_credits>>> - START
******************************************************************************/

/******************************************************************************
// Function for the credits-section
In previous versions of Coppermine the "Powered by Coppermine" used to be
obfuscated to make it hard for non-coders to remove the tag. The reason behind
this was an additional license add-on that disallowed users to change the line.
The dev team has reviewed this policy for cpg1.5.x and decided that end users
ARE allowed to change or remove the line in legal terms.
HOWEVER: We have a forum policy for the support board instead: support will
only be given for galleries that show the "Powered by Coppermine" tag
unobfuscated.
Before removing the credits, please consider this as well:
Coppermine is free software, the dev team ASKS you to keep the footer intact.
We're convinced that you should give credit where credit is due. So please think
twice before you decide to remove the tag.
