Footer - Powered by TurnKey Linux

The credit link is intended to help spread the word about the appliances. TurnKey Linux is a relatively new project so that's an important part of finding new users we can help. By default it's themed in a tiny font that doesn't spoil most themes.

In any case, it's easy to override the CSS for the credit footer so you can theme it to your liking like this:

/* This removes the credit link, but if possible we ask that you try and
re-theme it to your liking instead as a courtesy to the TurnKey Linux
project */

#turnkey-credit #override {
  display: none;
}

rdufou, add the code to your template's template.css to remove the footer.

It sounds like the CSS override isn't being applied inside your text widget which is being served as an IFRAME using the output from a separate PHP script. There are a couple of things you can try. Editing the PHP script to insert a bit of inline CSS into the PHP code that generates your widget, like this:

<style type="text/css">

#turnkey-credit #override {
    display: none;
}

</style>

Or alternatively you can disable the substitute Apache module that inserts the credit's HTML code ("a2dismod substitute" in a command line).

While I do appreciate all the hard work and contribution to the OS community that you guys have done, I have found on some of my website (pro ones)  that is necessary to remove the footer message. But please do give as much credit to these people that we can because what they have done is nothing less than extraordinary. Anyone can host professional websites from home or the cloud because of what they have done. 

I found the best way to do it other than CSS, because non-CSS pages will still have this footer message:

1. Login to webmin using your root account.

2. Under the Servers tab go into Apache.

3. Click Default server.

4. Under Per-Directory Options click Location /

5. Click Edit Directives.

6. Delete all the stuff in that box. Save and restart apache/ click apply changes.

7. Reload your webpage, you might need to clear your cache. 

Too bad!

If it's about giving credit where it's due, you yourself removed the "powered by Drupal" from this very site.  With some little persistent bug like this in the code, I'm not going to use or recommend it now for production servers, which means it won't be an accurate test server either.

If I did use it, I'd be thinking:  What other little self-serving bugs have you placed in the stack/code?  Will redirect ads start popping up on all the turnkey sites in a few months?  Have you left backdoors?  Yikes!

I'm all about giving credit but when I am billing a client to setup a server and or web application it looks rediculous if they can just go to your website and download a new vm :)

Its great to help development and thats why I recently bought you guys 12 beers :)

Thanks

I apologize if this is listed somewhere, I honestly have looked everywhere I can think of.

Can someone please explain how the Powered by TurnKey Linux footer is removed from the Moodle installation? 

(If my employer weren't billing for this installation and requesting the removal, I would leave it!)

Keep up the great work, I shall donate to the Beer Fund my friends.

Regards,

Josh

Perhaps this is a little too well embedded. I am trying to use the VM to run two test websites and the substitute mod is forcing its way onto my other CMS' pages. I worked for a company that makes a CMS product and we never assumed that the client will want Powered By... pasted into their design. We always asked them first. Maybe as a compromise you could put it in the standard template that comes with the CMS you are supplying.

I want to modify the credit on the Trust theme and I am having difficulty doing so because I can't find where the it is. Please help...

If you have administrative access to the host and you want to completely remove the "Powered by TurnKey Linux" you simply need to delete two symlinks and restart apache.  From commandline run the following commands (Assuming you are using Ubuntu):

rm /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/substitute.conf

rm /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/substitute.load

/etc/init.d/apache restart
