Can anyone help?
I want to edit the footer of my wiki.... The area where the Mediawiki logo, page access / modification details, etc is kept....
Essentially, I want very much to add a universal Creative Commons license to my pages...
If you just want to change the license it's built-in. You just have to initialize the right variables in LocalSettings.php Here's what I have in mine:
## For attaching licensing metadata to pages, and displaying an ## appropriate copyright notice / icon. GNU Free Documentation ## License and Creative Commons licenses are supported so far. $wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf = true; $wgRightsPage = ""; # Set to the title of a wiki page that describes your license $$wgRightsUrl = "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/"; $wgRightsText = "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike"; $wgRightsIcon = "http://creativecommons.org/images/public/somerights20.gif"; # $wgRightsCode = "by-nc-sa"; # Not yet used
This will put the Creative Commons icon in the footer with a link to the license. Of course the obvious changes would be needed to support other forms of CC licenses.
