Open-modules/Administration/ updater_utils.php Add-exit() ; in between function check_now() and return . By doing this u can remove 'powered by sugar crm' footer logo.
I applied the code above and I was able to remove the footer. But when I try to login I get a blank page. Then in order to get sugar to load I have to remove the index.php part of the url and press enter, only then it loads. Do you know how to fix that?
ya this happned with me also.there is only way which i did,put link to index.php by using this user can access you app(i did like this) and also place note for user like " If Page is not loading use this link".I know funny solution sorry i dont konow another way.if u found let me know.
I am also having the same issue. I did the changes you mentioned. Getting blank screen. Can you please give the link code which needs to be placed in index.php? is it like.. $link-> '(location:http://127.0.0.1/sugarcrm/)' ?? Please provide the exact code.
hi amol... im having a very hard time with the sugarcrm logo. the version im using now is 5.5 and i feel like losing hope on this already... i tried your approach couple of times but still doesn't work... i've search the net but had no luck on it... can you help me on this... thanks in advance...
and by the way... in my case, the footer logo is gotten from http://updates.sugarcrm.com/logo.php?ak=1ffd7d59396d6df2039ea912084592ba
when im not connected on the internet, the logo is replaced by "Powered by Sugar CRM" text... i just want to remove that whole thing... i used the firefox plugin named firebug to examine it, it is located below the footer div... hope you can check on this... thanks in advance...
Me too. We upgraded a branch of our in-house subversion copy to v5.5 recently to test it and I am again finding myself trying to find and remove the repugnant code that inserts their vanity logo, as I imagine hundreds of other devs inevitably will have to as they upgrade theirs.
Accept it or not, many users will want or need to remove the logo/link. It just demonstrates the bloody-minded attitude of the Sugar core dev team towards their user/developer community that they would rather have us wasting our collective [client's] limited time, money and resources trying to find and disarm these annoying anti-tampering checks, than simply make it a line or two in the default themes they ship. If they're that bothered about people using or misusing their product without giving them proper credit for it, they should probably have never open-sourced the damn thing in the first place.
As someone who has to work with open source code for a living, finding obfuscated code while trying to debug a problem, no matter how trivially obfuscated, such as in the 'mvc_utils.php' file they ship, is like getting a bone stuck in your throat while eating an otherwise very tasty fish soup.
OK, rant over. Thanks Amol for pointing us in the right direction.
First of all, would like to thank your information and very useful. Regarding the blank page after removing the footer. You said that we can put a link in index.php .
Would you please provide more information about how to put the link in the index.php ?
You can refer to the link here http://marwahjatin.blogspot.com/2010/06/hi-googler-let-us-discuss-about-how-to.html for the complete solution to remove the footer, I have consolidated all the ways to remove the footer and posted the working method into a single post.
Also if you are getting the blank screen at index.php then redirecting won't solve the purpose rather you should try and clear the cache or just put a fresh copy into the root folder try and remove the footer and then import your custom modules as it worked for me...
Also I would like to thank "Ross" as he did a fantastic job in letting us know of dropping the echo statement...Man that really helped..

Finally found the bastard. It's in modules/Trackers/Tracker.php, line 128, in the 'logPage' function. Drop the 'echo' statement.
