I am not entirely sure if this is a bug or more a feature request. Anyway, I D7 the theme appears to have a footer region. In D6 I cannot seem to find it. There is "content bottom", but no region below it. The footer in the page template has "Drupal theme by Kiwi Themes." hardcoded, but there does not appear to be a variable.

Could a footer region be added, as it is in D7?

Core version of the theme has footer region because other developers wanted it, as far as I'm concerned I don't like it because most blocks would look out of place in this region.

In revision 6.x-1.10 I added "Copyright information" theme setting which will allow you to enter your custom footer text.

"Drupal theme by Kiwi Themes." text is hard coded because it helps me in positioning my website. You can always remove it from page.tpl.php if you don't like it.

Hi

I understand the point of positioning but I'd like to see the "Drupal theme by Kiwi Themes." text as configurable by theme settings or any other option by config so people that want to use this theme without that text doesn't have to "hack" the theme.

If you don't like to include it by theme settings, you can do it in a variable, which is a little harder to hide, but it can be done without touching the theme.

Thanks

Ok

Here are a couple of patches for 6 dev & 6.1.9 versions for removing the link, just in case someone wants to use it in a makefile or something similar.

What if you want to have the reference but to be able to move it in another place on the page using the theme settings or (even better) the block configuration options?
