Tutorial : Hide/display Ipb Version Number Options

[NickTheGreek]

ONLY FOR IPB >= 2.0.x

Step 1

ACP -> Add New General Setting

Setting title: Show version number in board footer?

Setting Description: This option allows you to choose whether or not to display your IPB version in your board's footer.

Setting Group: Security and Privacy

Setting Type: Yes/No Radio buttons

Setting Key: show_version

Setting Current Value: 1

Setting Default Value: 1

Start Setting Group: Misc. Settings

End Setting Group: Yes

Add this option into the settings cache: Yes

Step 1 (Alternative)

1. Download the attached file, making sure you save it as "ipb_settings_partial.xml" and then go to your ACP -> View All General Settings

2. Scroll down the page until you see the Import an XML settings file section.

3. Either browse your computer for the ipb_settings_partial.xml file and click "Import XML Settings Set" or upload ipb_settings_partial.xml to your forums root directory (where index.php is) and then click "Import XML Settings Set".

If successful, the settings should be added to the "Security and Privacy" settings group.

NOTE: YOU STILL NEED TO PERFORM STEP 2 BELOW.

Step 2

Download and open ./sources/classes/class_display.php

Find (line 148):

CODE

$copyright = "<!-- Copyright Information -->\n\n<div align='center' class='copyright'>{$pwd}<a href=\"http://www.invisionboard.com\" target='_blank'>Invision Power Board</a>{$ur} {$ibforums->version} &copy; ".date("Y")." &nbsp;<a href='http://www.invisionpower.com' target='_blank'>IPS, Inc.</a></div>";

Replace with:

CODE

if( $ibforums->vars['show_version'] == '1' )
{
$version = $ibforums->version;
}

else
{
$version = '';
}

$copyright = "<!-- Copyright Information -->\n\n<div align='center' class='copyright'>{$pwd}<a href=\"http://www.invisionboard.com\" target='_blank'>Invision Power Board</a>{$ur} {$version} &copy; ".date("Y")." &nbsp;<a href='http://www.invisionpower.com' target='_blank'>IPS, Inc.</a></div>";

... upload class_display and you're done.
