Hide version in php frontend

[vins]

I don't see any reason for showing zabbix version in php frontend and I see many reasons to hide it (security, mainly).

To hide php frontend version you have to modify line 91 of include/page_footer.php from this:
S_ZABBIX.SPACE.ZABBIX_VERSION.SPACE.S_COPYRIGHT_BY .SPACE.S_SIA_ZABBIX,

to this:
S_ZABBIX.SPACE.S_COPYRIGHT_BY.SPACE.S_SIA_ZABBIX,

I think this will help to strengthen zabbix and make it more secure.

Good suggestion.

BTW, do you know how to enlarge the font size of the sub-menu or other fields? I tried to modify the related setting in frontend/styles/table.css. but only work on main menu.

[vins]

css_bb.css (line 45)

a.highlight {
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
}

thanks your reply. it seems only work on the blue&black theme but not the default(original blue) theme. the css_ob.css is empty and nothing found in default.css... any hint?

[vins]

sorry. i use blue&black theme (original blue looks too ugly for me!)

menu elements' font size is defined in table.css (line 806)

table.menu td {
border:1px solid #AAAAAA;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
}


i think that submenu elements's font size is defined in link.css (line 8)

a.highlight {
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
}

[Jun.Liu]

yeah, exactly those two files. thanks a lot!

I think removing it outright is not a good solution either, it should be moved to a sub menu somewhere. The main reason why you would not want to remove it, maintenance. :-) I think the best of both worlds would be to move it to the administration menu somewhere as only Zabbix Super Admins should have privs to that.

[vins]

maintenance? administrators don't need to connect via web to know which zabbix version is installed. they can see it via shell.

i don't see any advantage publishing the version in the web. in my humble opinion, it just helps malware crawlers to find you earlier.

zabbix version in php frontend defined in this file:
/include/defines.inc.php

see:
define('ZABBIX_VERSION','1.8.3');

simply edit to:
define('ZABBIX_VERSION','');
and no version displayed for all themes

or:
define('ZABBIX_VERSION','Version is secured');
