Change copyright text for a dictionary to be a field so that the same text is entered in different locations on the website

[peteroatley]

Currently the copyright text for a dictionary is entered in three different places. We would like this to be changed so that the text is entered on the Webonary Super Admin page and a custom field, short-code or something else is available to place on the website pages.

The locations of the copyright text are:
Dictionary footer
https://www.webonary.org/test-oatley/wp-admin/themes.php?page=themezee

Dictionary copyright page
https://www.webonary.org/test-oatley/overview/copyright/

Display all sites page
https://www.webonary.org/display-all-sites/

@phillip-hopper We had a look at the copyright field and found the following issues:

1. The footer should show the dictionary name and, year and copyright symbol and then the contents of the [copyright] shortcode.
   e.g. French Dictionary (c) 2024 SIL Global At the moment it only shows the text from the application form.
   

So, the copyright field shouldn't contain the whole copyright notice just the name of the copyright holder.

2. The Application form text isn't being transferred to the Copyright field in the Webonary plugin.

@peter, what is the name of the field (case sensitive) of the field on the application form?

Also, does the work done already satisfy the requirements as originally set forth in this issue?

@phillip-hopper The copyright field on the form is "copyright-holder".

I tried the short-code in the Footer and on the copyright page and it works fine. The comment above about the footer is a request that when a website is created that the dictionary name and current year go into the footer with the copyright short-code. Is this possible?

The Display All Sites table does currently display the copyright information but it must be from a different field since the short-code information is currently empty.

I guess another thing to do is to copy the current copyright information into the new field for existing dictionaries.

Thanks
