Have got a couple of questions:

- Is it possible to load the content of the YAF forum into a Visual Studio .net 2005 solution and modify the source code?
- Is there a way of removing the forum footer: HOw can I do that?

Main Forum RSS :

Powered by Yet Another Forum.net version 1.9.0 (NET v2.0) - 10/10/2006
Copyright © 2003-2006 Yet Another Forum.net. All rights reserved.

Thanks very much

Easiest way is to check out alt.aspx, on the yaf:footer control set visible="false".

See your other post re: opening YAF in VS2005.

Hi,

is it allowed to cut/remove the footer ?

we are in the process of using the yaf in our own business homepage.
but we don't want footers like

>>Powered by Yet Another Forum.net version 1.9.0 (NET v2.0) - 10/10/2006
>>Copyright © 2003-2006 Yet Another Forum.net. All rights reserved.

so once more:

is it allowed to remove the footer like it is described here ?

TIA

To remove the footer, follow these steps:

- Open Solution File in VS 2005
- Open ForumPage.cs file and modified the footer texts you dont want to be shown, these are some of the lines:
(u can either remove them or comment them)

* footer.AppendFormat( "{2} : <a href=\"{0}\"><img valign=\"absmiddle\" src=\"{1}images/rss.gif\" alt=\"RSS\" /></a><br /><br />", Forum.GetLink( Pages.rsstopic, "pg=forum" ), Data.ForumRoot, GetText( "DEFAULT", "MAIN_FORUM_RSS" ) );
// footer.AppendFormat("Main Forum Rss Feed : <a href=\"{0}rsstopic.aspx?pg=forum\"><img valign=\"absmiddle\" src=\"{1}images/rss.gif\" alt=\"RSS\" /></a><br /><br />", Data.ForumRoot, Data.ForumRoot);

Let me know if It's works

Hi,

thanks for the answer, but:
my question ist about "is it allowed" and not about "how to"

TIA

Official word:

* May I remove the copyright from the footer?
Although I would appreciate if you kept the copyright message, you may remove it.

* May I edit the copyright message in the footer?
Yes, as long as you leave the "meaning" of it message intact (who the copyright holders are,.....).

* May I add my own copyright message?
Yes, provided that you do not merge your message with the official one in any way. Something like:

Copyright © 2003-2006 Me

would not be acceptable.

* May I remove the copyright from the source code?
Definitely not. That is against GPL.

Other Notes:

If you do choose to remove the copyright, even a small link would be appreciated from your board. e.g:

Powered by YAF 

Thanks.

I've tried changing the ForumPage.cs file and refreshing the web.config and the change does not appear in the website.

Does this work in v1.9.0?

Make sure you recompile the site after making changes to a source code file.

Easiest way is to check out alt.aspx, on the yaf:footer control set visible="false".

I've tried to change the footer and header but can't find any way to do it. I'm running version 1.9.0. with just bin. Most things I wanted to change could be done by changing various aspx files, but "alt.aspx" does nothing! It doesn't change anything, infact i've took it out from the folder and the forum still works!

So how do I change the header and footer, I hope I don't have to have the src version.. I had trouble opening that in visual studio, say's it's for an older version of vs and the conversion doesn't work.

I also want to change how the messages are displayed, when you're reading them, where do I do that? (not posts.ascx, but on each individual message)

Hi All i tried amending the ForumPages.cs and the alt.aspx to try and make the RSS feed in the footer disapper as well as the Copyright notice, but nether wrk.

I still want to give credit where credit is due, of course, but want to handle it differently.. i have another purpose for the footer.

Has anyone been able to do this? ad if so how exactly?

cheers..

I tried everything here to no avail. If that's the case for you too, here's a quick ghetto fix that'll work to cover the footer with a div overlay.

Underneath the Forum control in the default.aspx, copy and paste this:



so that it looks like this:



Hope it works for you too...

I know everyone is talking about editing the footer through ForumPages.cs but I can't even find the ForumPage.cs file anywhere in the download. Can someone please help me out?

you should download the sourcefile,the file that you said is in dir "pages",you can find it.

all methods that you said i have tried,but it doesn't work?why ? does it have matter with "cache"?
