footer message not printing

The footer message was not printing using the Crusti theme. I revised the page.tpl.php and now it works.

Existing line:
if($bottom1 || $bottom2 || $footer) {

Revised line:
if($bottom1 || $bottom2 || $footer_message) {

The issue was that I didn't have anything in the Bottom1 or Bottom2 region but still wanted to display the footer message. I'm not sure what the $footer is supposed to do since that is not printed. I really haven't looked into the other aspects of your code but I wanted to let you know in case this was a bug since it didn't work in my scenario.
