Question about ethics

Hello!

 

I bought few days ago a prestashop theme on addons site. Until here, everything ok.

 

After I have installed this one, I noticed a 404 error related to a missing picture in the theme. Looking forward, I discovered that this image is in a "hidden" section added in the blockcms module template by the theme.

 

The code is the below one:

<div class="vt_container">
    <div class="vt_logo_footer">
            <a href="http://prestaddon.com/"  target="_blank" title="Go To PrestAddon">
				<img src="themes/vp_jewelry/img/vt-logo-footer.png" alt="PrestAddon"  />
			</a>
        </div>
    </div> 

As you can see, this block contains a link to a site selling prestashop modules and themes.

 

If I understood well, the theme developer will use my shop to get backlink to his site. Am I right?

If so, I am not sure to appreciate this way of doing thing.

 

What do you think about it?

Good morning,

 

I am not sure I understand the question but I do not think their is a hidden agenda.

 

If you down load the free default template every file has prestashop named, the advertising module links to prestashop, in fact if you buy a module from a developer the chances are their is a link to there site.

 

I do not think this is a plan to take over the world but simply to let search engines know of these sites exsistence

 

You can always change the links to point at your friends domain or simply delete them

in my opinion you can just remove it... this is the same link, as prestashop attach to own default theme
