Is he allowed to do that?

I'm not sure,but if we have a mod like that

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1046

Changing (Faking)  the smf version might be allowed too

I'd like to see an official word on this, before I decide to change it on my sites.

If SMF says it is okay, then I may just do this, too.

The copyright function CANNOT be modified in any way shape or form.

The copyright of the forum also, CANNOT be removed.

The only part that can be changed or removed is the version number itself, which can be found in index.php, near the top of the file after the comments.

Alternatively, you can use the mod posted by Duncan

So, he could in fact change
index.php

Code Select Expand

$forum_version = 'SMF 2.0 Beta 4';

to

Code Select Expand

$forum_version = 'SMF 2.0';

And this is allowed, if I am understanding correctly.

Sorry if seem like being a pain, just want to make sure everyone fully understands about changing the version number.
If this is what you meant, it sure is lots better than trying to edit Subs.php.

[Kermit]

If we change it through index.php,we would get version error on AdminCP,that's why it would be smarter,to change it from Subs.php 

[Burke ♞ Knight]

Personally, I don't need to change it on my sites, I'll gladly wait for SMF 2.0 final to see it without extra text.

I just wanted to clear things up for the OP.

[SlammedDime]

BurkeKnight, yes.

Duncan, right, but changing in Subs.php changes the Copyright function, which, as I said, is not allowed.

A better solution is something that Grudge posted awhile back, after the member context is loaded up, see if the members is an admin, and if not, change the forum_version variable.  I'll see if I can find the post.

You could also use the version removal mod, then edit the version that shows to non-admins.

I think there is too much copyright. There is two smf links and all it really need is the one to copyright.

I understand why it is there but I have 7 links on the bottom of my page. Two of them are for here.
I know because my Google webmaster tools tells me.

Just sayin' is all
