Hi...

Just a thought.

In all DA I'm running, inside the web pages of the panel, you can see in the footer.
"DirectAdmin Web Control Panel © 2012 JBMC Software"

Just for marketing, this is not cool. Some people might think this has not been updated like for 4 years?

We have people first time DA users, which are not technically inclined and they come from CPanel and Plesk and we talk about details on first impression.

Actually this should be a very simple change in a next release.
Best would be to have 2012 - [ current_year ], to show that the software is modern and mature at the same time...

;)

Hi,

actually the one you reference is related to email messages.
I'm talking about the footer of web pages in the web interface.

Actually what I talk about is hardcoded in "/usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/default/footer.html".
You can see inside this file the following string: "Web Control Panel ©  2006 JBMC Software"
This is repeated on all pages.

My idea is that if JBMC is still holding the copyright is might be a good idea to reflect this on the footer ("2006 - 2016 JBMC Software"). Shows that software is mature and current, too.

[ I also tried to update the footer in this file but it does not show up, maybe I need to also deploy something again? ]

Thanks...

You are right, actually when I log in (at port 2222) with my browser, footer writes exactly as yours: "© 2012 JBMC Software".

But inside usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/default/footer.html it says: "2006 JBMC Software"....

I will have a look at this link soon.

I think this can help: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=295

But are you sure your DA is updated by the way? Mine says © 2012
 
Yes, I see the feature I referred to is not what you were asking about.
I hope it will be fixed soon, anyway if you want a solution here and now, you're welcome to customize the footers files:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/footer_bar_2.html
/usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/footer_wide.html

the way that is described here:
