   skins/[CUSTOMER_ACTIVE_SKIN]/customer/addons/my_changes/hooks/index, where [CUSTOMER_ACTIVE_SKIN] is an active skin of your storefront.
2. In the skins/[CUSTOMER_ACTIVE_SKIN]/customer/addons/my_changes/hooks/index directory, create file bottom.override.tpl with the following content:
   

   <p class="bottom-copyright class">{$lang.copyright} &copy; {if $smarty.const.TIME|date_format:"%Y" != $settings.Company.company_start_year}{$settings.Company.company_start_year}-{/if}{$smarty.const.TIME|date_format:"%Y"} {$settings.Company.company_name}. &nbsp;{$lang.powered_by} <a href="http://www.cs-cart.com" target="_blank" class="underlined">{$lang.copyright_shopping_cart}</a>
