Change/Modify Footer Alfresco Comunity

[juliogg]

Hello,
I've found several topics related with changing/deleting of the footer but all of them are refered to Alfresco BEFORE changing to GPL
Can someone clarify if NOW changing the footer is allowed? and also What are the technical steps that has to be taken for doing so?.
Thanks in advance.
Julio

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.

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.

[etzapata]

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 ?
