Unable to modify the Copyright line in footer
I am attempting to modify the footer in Luminis IV 4.0.1. I want to change the text of 'Copyright © SunGard Higher Education 1998 - 2007' to the name of our institution, and to replace the SunGard logo (doing that later) in the footer as well. So far, I have edited the nested-tables.properties file to the following:
COPYRIGHT=School Name
I also, after backing up, unpacked the luminis-resources-4.0.1.jar, edited the nested-tables.properties file within /org/jasig/portal/layout/tab-column/nested-tables directory the same as before, with COPYRIGHT=School Name.
I repacked the luminis-resources-4.0.1.jar, made sure the changes had taken effect by rechecking the nested-tables.properties files (all seemingly worked). I then stopped and restarted luminis, but the same old 'Copyright © SunGard Higher Education 1998 - 2007' still appears in the footer.
I'm looking for ideas of what I have missed (or done wrong). Thanks, I appreciate the help!

More files....
I left the Copyright alone but did modify the Sungard branding...
There is an xsl file in the nested-tables folder that needs to be adjusted too.
also look at
...modified footer.jsp....
CP_ROOT/webapps/luminis/jsp/lib directory
And the image it calls is here:
$CP_ROOT/webapps/luminis/cps/images/misc/foot_logo.gif
Hope this helps
We've got the same problem
We've tried to do the same thing you have and we're stuck here too so you're not alone on this one.

changing the copyright text
You should be able to change the copyright text here:
/webapps/luminis/footer.js

Misery loves company?
I'm having the exact same struggle. The footer.jsp file seems to impact only the login page and other aux. pages such as logout, errors, etc.
Editing the footer.js file did nothing.
And all my attempts with the infamous "nested-tables.xsl" file have not worked either.
They sure don't want to let go of having their branding all over OUR portals, do they?
custom.xsl
Wild guess here, you could try editing the custom.xsl file in the skins directory and deploy a new skin, that is where the property is called from, so you could edit out the call and put in your own text.

Update
Thanks to all for the suggestions, especially changing the custom.xsl file. After a lot of trial and error, I've successfully changed the logo in the footer. Here are the steps I took, for those that are stuck on this issue like myself.
First, I replaced the foot_logo.gif file with my custom logo in:
$CP_ROOT\cps\images\misc\foot_logo.gif
I also changed the height/width/alt/title tags in the custom.xsl found in:
$CP_ROOT\custom\classic\custom.xsl
<img src="{$poweredbyimage}" alt="Harford Community College" title="Harford Community College" width="100" height="78" border="0"/>
**Changing the custom.xsl file only affected the footer when a user was logged in. The alt/title/width/height attributes did not affect the login and logout screen. My new logo appears on the login/logout screens, but it looks stretched out as of right now, and has the standard SunGard atl and title tags**
In going through these steps, I noticed the code in custom.xsl has a reference to the copyright:
<span id="copyright"><xsl:value-of select="$copyright"/>
I cannot find exactly what/where $copyright is referencing. I've changed the nested-table.properties file located in:
$CP_ROOT\WEB-INF\uPortal\org\jasig\portal\layout\tab-column\
nested-tables\nested-table.properties
COPYRIGHT=Harford Community College
I've also made the same changes in luminis-resources-4.0.1.jar file, and reJared the file.
These steps have not resolved the issue of changing the copyright text. Does anyone have any idea what $copyright in custom.xsl is referencing? Also, how can I make changes to the footer (copyright and logo tags) on the login and logout pages?
Again, thanks for all the help, and I hope these steps can help out others.
Got it
To change the copyright text in the lower left hand corner, you simply have to edit 2 files:
$CP_ROOT\webapps\luminis\custom\classic\custom.xsl
$CP_ROOT\webapps\luminis\jsp\lib\footer.jsp
In custom.xsl: (line 284, to be exact)
<span id="copyright">YOUR TEXT HERE</span>
In footer.jsp: (line 37, to be exact)
<span id="copyright">YOUR TEXT HERE</span>
You can also put html links in the YOUR TEXT HERE section, so that it shows the text you want and also acts as a link, which is what we decided to go with.
Hope this helps!
