Yabba Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi, I'm in the middle of creating a custom xhtml strict template for a client. One of the, many, sections of code that I need to modify is the default branding, which I've done, but I've also changed it to just read "WHMCS" instead of the whole "powered by" ... mainly to slow down the kiddie scripters that use goggle as an ego trip. My question is, would that invalidate the clients licence as I'm pretty sure they'll only purchase a branded licence when their trial version expires, or is it ok as long as there's a backlink on every page? ¥ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted July 21, 2010 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted July 21, 2010 Please do not modify the Powered By line as that would breach the Licence Agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 The problem is, that invalidates the template I'm making as the <p> tab has align="center" .. am I at least allowed to modify that tag to remove the align and add an id so I can target it with css? Note : I'm not doing this by hacking any of the files, which would (obviously) be a breach of the LA, I just need to be able to produce an XHTML strict/WAI compliant template :-S ¥ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Problem solved, I convinced the client that a full licence was the best way forward ¥ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incredipete Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 No branding owned licenses are the only way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Considering the amount of work involved in making a valid template, modifying the default link was the least of my worries ... and the simplest one to cure ... some of the others are gonna require *far* more imagination and "bending" of the normal output Removing all the js reliance is liable to take a tad though ¥ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
