How to add photo credits to your site

Hello,

After browsing tons of Chevereto sites I always find one thing people never do; leave credits. In my opinion this is very disrespectful and can in many cases result in DMCA(Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown requests.

This little tutorial will show you how to add a nice text in the bottom corner of your website where you can put some text like "Photo by John Doe" or something like "Powered by Chevereto".

Step 1)
Navigate to your Dashboard and click on Settings and then Theme

Step 2)
Scroll all the way down to Custom CSS code, add the code below in the box and click Save changes
Code:
#home-cover-photo-cc
{
    color:rgba(255,255,255,1.9);
    font-size:10px;
    position:absolute;
    bottom:5px;
    right:5px
}

Step 3)

You will need FTP and a file editor, go to /app/themes/Peafowl/views and open index.php

Step 4)
Press CTRL+S or search in index.php for the following code,
Code:
<?php CHV\Render\show_banner('home_after_cover'); ?>

Over that line, add the following code,
Code:
<!-- Photo credits -->
<div class="phone-hide">
<a id="home-cover-photo-cc" rel="nofollow" href="http://url-to-credits.com" target="_blank">Photo by John Doe</a>
</div>

When you're done it should look like it does in the image below.

All credits goes to Rodolfo, this little feature was found on Chevereto.com. This is tested on Mac and Windows for FireFox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer. Keep in mind that Photo credits are hidden on phone devices.

Forgot to mention that I'm pretty new to Chevereto 3. Not sure if there is easier ways to do it but this works.
 
Good for one photo, but if you have a rotation you're going to need something else. :p
