Hi

I am wondering how I can remove the version number when using view source for this software as it will be exposed to hacker when knowing the version you are using that has a possibility of hacking.

I can see this <!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.18 (stable)--> at the end of the page for the index before the </body></html>

I can't see to find where I can just remove the version 1.4.18 (stable).

Please advice.

Thanks!

First upgrade yours to 1.4.19 if you're scared about Hackers

Have upgraded just now. So, how do I remove the version numbers?

Edit include/functions.in.php, find

Code: [Select]

$add_version_info = "<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery ".COPPERMINE_VERSION." (".COPPERMINE_VERSION_STATUS.")-->\n</body>";and comment that line out. This is a security-by-obscurity approach though that I really can't encourage. In fact I find it silly. Keep your gallery up-to-date instead of playing hide and seek.

I do agree to keep up to date but I do not receive notification for new updates. How do I activate or receive notification?

Thanks!
