Post Copyright

WiseClock

This extension allows your user to set their posts' copyrights.

Screenshots

Installation

composer require wiseclock/flarum-ext-post-copyright

Updating

composer update wiseclock/flarum-ext-post-copyright

DON'T FORGET TO CLEAR THE CACHE AFTER UPDATING!
php flarum cache:clear
You need to clear the cache if the locale is updated, which most likely happens every time a new option is added to the settings page.

Can you set the copyright per discussion or per post?
Great job by the way.

WiseClock

luceos It is per post. I was going to set it per discussion but then realized that we post important things in replies too.

WiseClock

luceos But I'll make it into the todo list tho ?

Not a bad extension. ?

Sounds like a great idea. Any thoughts on adding admin settings to expand the list of options? I could see adding in specific licensing (CC-BY-SA for example) as needed for a site.

Yeah, it's now able to accept custom options ?

Custom option setting is added, along with the color thing!

Could anyone please explain me the purpose of copyrighting a post or how would it prevent it to be plagiarized?

We do not claim copyright in any of your writings, however, by participating in this forum, you give us a worldwide, non revocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to copy your submitted statements in any medium and for any purpose.

Nice work on the extension, I imagine this will come in handy for some!

Anyway to make the blue color hilight selector pull the color code from Appearance settings custom color?

Colors
Choose two colors to theme your forum with. The first will be used as a highlight color, while the second will be used to style background elements.

I'm not certain what any of those copywrite options mean. It would be cool if each copyright option was ediatable and linkable. As in include the option to specify a link so I can click on it and it takes to a info page or copywrite disclaimer pops up stating what this copyright means. Ie: pay takes you to the user's link stating what you can and can't do with it or how to request linking to their content.

For the most part this extension just adds a little text saying it's copy protected but it doesn't prevent hot links to the post or prevent the text to be copy-pasted. Not that there is anything you can do, bUT there are tricks to make it more difficult.

So yeah, would be nice to customize the options by using custom text and applying hyperlinks.

Thank you for your contribution.

Your awesomeness is impeccable. Do you have a donate / pp link?

Thanks again.

WiseClock

0E800 I've just updated the extension with the ability to change the prefix and alignment.
The donation link is inserted to the bottom of the original post, thank you ?

WiseClock

0E800 One more thing in case you struggle. If you want to set the prefix to a font-awesome icon, you can put something like this in the field:

<i class='fa fa-copyright'></i>

For neatness, I recommend you leave a space at the end.

WiseClock Wish I could donate more. Hopefully its enough for your favorite 24oz brew. ?

WiseClock

0E800 So much appreciated for your kindness, it's totally enough! ?

Will there be a way to make "Post Copyright" for certain categories only?

This was working great for a while for me, but after doing a fresh install of flarum and installing this via composer, once enabled it does not show any content on the page except for the header

Edit: Alright, if I leave additional content EMPTY, it will do this bug
However, if I copy and paste the given code right above for the MIT License it works just fine. I assume it just does not want to be left blank?
