html, php, drupal. Trying to edit some text…

Hi,
I’m trying to edit some text. I’m familiar with HTML and the basics of php, but that’s it. I want to edit some text from beneath. Example this site . So we got
respects the rights of others and is committed to helping third parties protect their rights. Our terms of service offer anyone to send inquiries to legal(at)(dot)org.
So I’m basically looking where I can find that text… I know it’s pretty dependent on the site and the webdesigner, but there must be some kind of logic… or some kind of hints. If someone is wants more information, please PM me. I would appreciate.
Thanks.
Answer #1
Look up Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. I think that is what you are asking for. You can get generator scripts for that.
But if you mean just the text:
<font size="-2"><b>Sitename </b> respects the rights of others. Out terms of service is available to anyone who inquiries to <b><a href="mailto:legal@yourdomain.com">Legal Services</a></b> via email.</font>
idk man, just placing that at the footer.
Most websites generally just have a link to their TOS and Privacy Policy linked at the bottom. Hope this helped.

Hey man, I think this is a better example:
http://www.ebay.com/
Copyright © 1995-2012 eBay Inc. All Rights Reserved.
I don’t think they have written that on every page? There must be a source-page that is linked by <td class=”gf-legal”> if you check the source…
Answer #3
It depends on wich script your website is running ?
Most of the time it can be found at footer.php or main.php
In dreamweaver you can search all files to find your line of text to change it.

The text you are not able to find maybe be encrypted base_64 or some thing like that try to find some thing like this ( YTM0NZomIzI2OTsmIzM0NTueYQ== ) that is some random characters then == at the end ..
If you are using wordpress theme … The stuff you wanna find is in footer.php !
Hope this helps

Answer #9
ow, i found one “footer.php”, it says:
<?php
class ControllerCommonFooter extends Controller {   
   protected function index() {
      $this->load->language('common/footer');
      
      $this->data['text_footer'] = sprintf($this->language->get('text_footer'), VERSION);
      
      $this->template = 'common/footer.tpl';
   
       $this->render();
     }
}
?>
so i kept looking in common-folders (which are many) and I found that one file. Thanks guys!
I’m looking into something else now, but I think I’ll figure it out.
