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.

Updated: With hiding the version in the templates automatically with thanks to Boofo.

Update again. Now it hides the version at the archives as well and therefore the version is hidden everywhere.

This hack delete our french copyright, a suggestion:

In "Hide Version" pluginn find:

PHP Code:


			
$vbphrase['powered_by_vbulletin'] = 'Powered by <a href="http://www.vbulletin.com" id="vbulletinlink">vBulletin&trade;</a><br />Copyright &copy; vBulletin Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved.';

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
$vbphrase['powered_by_vbulletin'] = preg_replace("/Version [\d\.]+/","", $vbphrase['powered_by_vbulletin']);

I hadn''t thought of other languages to be honest as I use only english at my forum. Thanks for reminding me and for posting the code. I am sure it will come in handy to a lot of people who use another language other than english.

Only the display of the translation copyright or the hack himself ?

Nice one but does not really help. Just open the Source Code and u will find at the very top

Code:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 4.0.1" />

Would be nice if u would do a recode, that will hide the whole Version Numbers

It was still showing the 4.0.1 but now that I've updated to 4.0.2 it's working correctly now :up:

Thats what I said. As long as this is in the source code, google and other search engines will always show your website... regardless of it been removed from the bottom of the footer... please research how google uses the meta tags...

Definitely, this CMS causes a lot of issues. It only remains to edit directly the phrase: remove Version {1} from powered_by_vbulletin. I didn't find others methods.
