Hi

You can find some info here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Open_Source_Licensing#Our_trademarks_protect_us.2C_and_the_community

In essence, if removing trademark and notices is the only change you want to make, it is not encouraged and not available for binary downloads, but you are free under GPL if you compile source code, unless you misuse trademarks.

Hi Alexander,
     I also have the same problem with the footer. I am NOT going to take out/delete the logo of Alfresco. I just wanted to reference the logo in the local pc/server. In this way, we will not be accessing the internet everytime we access Alfresco. What I did was, I copied the Alfresco logo and save it in the local server where Alfresco is installed. The problem is, I cannot locate the file where the footer is. Can you help me with this?
    Any reply will be greatly appreciated. :lol:
    Thank you very much!

Eric.

The footer is generated in code. See org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.tag.PageTag

Thank you very much again!

It's a java class. You will need to download the Alfresco SDK from sourceforge (or get the code from SVN). Once you have modified the class you can compile it and replace the existing .class file in the Alfresco WAR.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,
     I have already downloaded the file "alfresco-community-sdk-1.4.0.zip" but I don't know where to start in order to change the footer reference. I'm no java expert, if you can help me out, I'd really be very grateful.

     Thank you very much! :lol:

Thanks to kevin for his help.
As far as I see you have downloaded the 1.4 version that is not under GPL, so you must be aware that the modifications of the footer has more restrictions and the link that kevin provided is not applicable to your version.
Maybe this brief overview of compiling Java can be a help (it uses the "hello World" example).

I have posted instructions on how to change the default Alfresco web client page footer. It requires editing the source code and rebuilding the web-client package. The complete instructions are
available here.

Nicely written article, Tom (although I can't quite tell if you're being a little sarcastic about the "clever develovers" part :wink: ). Obviously our GPL license allows you to do this update, however we'd encourage people keep the footer and image in place unless it's really causing issues in a closed or locked-down network environment.

The reason we host the Alfresco Community image on our own servers is that it gives us vital browser usage information, which helps us target the right browsers for new features. For example, as developers we'd love to be able to drop support for IE6, but our own statistics tell us we can't do that yet.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi

You can add to
main.css

span.footer
{
display:none!important;
}

This will remove the message for users without having to recompile alfresco…

Simple page refresh is enough.

Pouya

Hi Pouya,

I have added the said code in /opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/css/main.css but nothing's changed.

Do you have any other idea?

Thanks.

Re: Change/Modify Footer Alfresco Comunity

etzapata — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:16:50 GMT

Oh I got it… You have to stop/start alfresco for the changes to take effect but the image still remains.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Change in main.css works but it wont remove the image "ALFRESCO COMMUNITY" which apprears at the bottom ?

Please guide me how to remove that Image without changing and recompiling the source code ?
