Footer Problem...

The theme does not seem to display a footer... I went into the code and fixed the problem so here's the solution:
The file page.tpl.php originally reads:

[...]
  <div id="footer">
  <?php print $footer;?>
    <a href="http://www.rockettheme.com/Templates/Free_Templates/Novus_-_Free_Joomla_Template/">Theme</a> <a href="http://www.avioso.com">port</a> sponsored by Duplika <a href="http://www.duplika.com">Web Hosting</a>.
  <?php print $closure ?>
  </div>
[...]

We will need to change that to:

[...]
  <div id="footer">
  <?php print $footer;?>
  <?php print $footer_message;?><br/>
    <a href="http://www.rockettheme.com/Templates/Free_Templates/Novus_-_Free_Joomla_Template/">Theme</a> <a href="http://www.avioso.com">port</a> sponsored by Duplika <a href="http://www.duplika.com">Web Hosting</a>.
  <?php print $closure ?>
  </div>
[...]

that should make it work
