So im looking at my homepage

http://domainame.com/index.php?module=site

or

http://domainame.com/index.php?module=site&show=home

and below the TABS menu i see the secondary or SubMenu.

obviously this menu is only relivant to this particular page on the site.
It changes when i click on the access to another module but.....

ONLY on this particular section of the site ( HOME )
there is to the far right a button that says "VISIT WICCLE"

and goes to http://www.wiccle.com/

but with all the other ads for wiccle on the site ( Header & Footer )

does this button need to be there? Can i remove it?

It's there just to illustrate that you can make menu items that link to both internal pages and to external URLs, and that was the obvious thing to put in. =)

The only thing you need to leave intact is the rectangular footer with the "iWiccle CMS Community Builder" bit. If you want, you can customize its colors to match your site's color scheme in skin_config.php:

$skin['ad']['adc'] = "885c94"; // font color
$skin['ad']['adbgc'] = "ddd"; // background color
$skin['ad']['adbrd'] = "eee"; // border color

In the above, enter the usual hexadecimal representation (or the shorthand) of a color without the # prefix. There is a useful reference sheet on common color HEX values at w3schools (along with some more valuable HEX color info), and you can also copy the HEX value from most image editor programs' color pickers.

You are free to remove all other references including those in the header (site_logo.png / skin_wrappers.php line #297), the browser title bar suffix (under Admin CP > System > Search Engines), and any other pages or template files where they might occur as a part of the HTML there.

We really don't want anyone's site to look like the default template! When I search for "Powered by Wiccle", I'm desperate for sites that look totally different and unique. (There are some nice customizations out there on 1.11, and we trust 1.20 will take it to a whole new level.) Of course if you want to splatter your site full of Wiccle references you can, but you really should be filling it with your own branding. =)

I've done my best within the limits of time to make new template creation a very fast process (even if only to save my own time as I've hacked in diverse designs for customer sites), and as such there's a particular interest from my side to see the the productivity value of iWiccle/Wiccle be put into good use on this field, and to support that.

again thanks for your help.
while going through editing the layout, header, footer, and so on,
i did already go into that area you mentioned  ( Admin CP / System/  Search Engines )

and make changes

however i dont see where in any settings i can remove this
"iWIccle Online Comunity"

from the top right of the header. Or rather where i can edit that text

wow

ok that took some looking around for some reason

i found the little button, in the modules settings area. Im just not used to what im seeing yet.

I also found where to edit the "iWiccle online community"  text that was showing at the header.

They're all there somewhere. =) I've actually put quite a bit of thought into the basic groupings of the admin areas, they should start making good sense once you become more familiar with the interface.

Remember there's also a search feature in the admin navigation that matches both area names and their descriptions. I will be adding in extended keywords to provide for aliases such as theme/template/skin bringing up the related areas, and with that in place you should be able to find just about anything quickly from the search without knowing where it is. The search also shows you the section under which the place you're looking for is.

Most things that deal with the site look and the different elements you are asking about are tucked under the sections of Admin CP > Site, and the site name / text areas under the main Site tab. The submenus are specific to each module, so they are under Modules > Module Builder. (You can also edit them in a simple raw format under each individual module under "Navigation".) Browser title bar and meta tag stuff are SEO issues most of the time, and as such are filed under System > Search Engines.

Hope that helps getting oriented a bit more.

To make a small clarification on the copyright notice line:

The area where it says "Powered by Wiccle • Copyright (C) Site Owner" (editable in skin_wrappers.php), while you can modify this including removing the Wiccle reference, you probably should not use the phrase "Powered by " followed by something else at this point, as it generally is understood to refer to the software back-end powering the site. For an alternative phrasing, "produced by" is a good example.

That is to say, you can remove all references to Wiccle (excluding the "Powered by Wiccle" bar with the two graphics unless you have an Ads Free license, in which case it's automatically removed), but you can't rebrand a Wiccle/iWiccle site as appearing to use other software or state that you have produced the site engine.

(We may provide reseller and software rebranding options that allow exceptions to the above in the future — please contact us if you are interested.)

Ok im appending another question to this topic:

Im looking at my home page ( module=SITE )

Below the main tabs is another menu that we can set RAW data for in the Admin CP / Modules / SITE

area

Below this is another menu working like the common " breadcrumbs " script that basically tells you where and how deep you are in the website
EXAMPLE " Site name >> Module name >> Category >> possable other name "

Ok so im looking at my home page though
and i see " SIte Name >> Home >> iWiccle Home "

Im trying to edit out that last breadcrumb but i dont see referance to it.

I was looking in the PRO theme files but no luck.

Im sure im searching the wrong phrase though.

Please feel free to start new topics for new issues, makes easier answer-finding for others who look for information. (I would split the topic if this old Wiccle.com software had a Forums version with the option...)

The answer actually closer to home than you thought. It's the title of the page, also displayed in (or as a part of) the browser title bar, and is is set for each page under Builder > Layout [EDIT] tab. Whatever you set as the page title is also shown as the breadcrumb title for the page.

If you don't want the browser page title to be in the "breadcrumb context" (ie. "iWiccle Online Community > Site > Page Title"), you can start the title with a double underscore ("__") to make it the sole text of the browser title bar. See the screenshot below.
