Mini Mods - Hide Version Number.

This is a small hack that it will allow you to turn off the public display of the version number of your vBulletin forum. You can enable and disable it at the Acp-Options-Forums Home Page Options.

I know that it can be easily done by changing the language phrase but this way is handier in my opinion.

Note: This mod it will hide the version at the footer only. It is meant to add some kind of security for ex, when hackers google for outdated version and hack forums at random.


To remove the version from showing when viewing the page source, do the following edits to the headinclude template

Find the following code:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $vboptions[templateversion]" />

and change it to:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin" />

That it supports multilanguages as well now.

Thats why people suggest to add a .htpasswd + .htaccess to the admin directory. Observe: http://vgchat.info/forum/admincp/

I have the older version. What is the steps to upgrade it with no problems?

I don''t provide support through pm. Ask your question at the forums, thanks.

I didn't post this to be a smart butt, I posted it in case anybody tries to PM him with a question about the mod.

Why run a regex on every page just to remove the version number from the copyright. You'd be better off providing a different phrase or something. regexes are bad mk?

Anyway, simply import the new file and set Allow Overwrite to yes.

Can you please explain a little bit more?

[Zachery]

You can easily acomplish the same goal (removing the version number) by editing a phrase. This saves you cpu cycles and is something you'd likely never have to worry about updating or breaking your pages.

Thanks so much Zachery
