To Whom This May Concern,

I would like to remove the "Terms & Privacy Statement" from my site. Is this do-able? I realize I can edit the content through the language options, but, I would like to remove it entirely from the site if possible. Our site is an Intranet for only 50 users, so the leagals are not nessesary. Cheers,

Darryl

You'll need to edit your skin (or get a new one) so that it doesn't use those skin objects.

If that's too big an undertaking, you could (1) clear out the text for those links from the language editor, so they'll just be empty links and/or (2) hide them using CSS in your portal stylesheet.

Hope that helps,

(NOTE: Edited to clarify different uses of different examples)

A quick-and-easy solution is here:  http://www.eguanasolutions.com/DNN_Blog/EntryID/17.aspx


I've included three examples to show how to make the change to affect a page, a portal or all portals in an instance.  I think Example #3 is your best bet:

Example #1 - Edit the skin to remove TERMS and PRIVACY links for entire DNN instance (for every portal on the instance using the same skin): 

  1. For this example we'll use the DNN Blue skin (Horizontal Fixed Width version).
     
    Open the following file for editing (using Notepad or your editor of choice):

      (DNN root)/Portals/_default/Skins/DNN-Blue/Horizontal Menu - Fixed Width.ascx
     
  2. Near the bottom of the skin (line 66), hide or remove the links with the following ID values:
     
      dnn_dnnTERMS_hypTerms
      dnn_dnnPRIVACY_hypPrivacy
     
    This line also includes the "dnnCOPYRIGHT" skin object.  If you don't care about the copyright link you can simply remove the entire table (lines 64, 65, 66, 67 and 68).
     
  3. Save the edited file.  Refresh your browser window (CONTROL-F5) to see the updated skin.

Example #2 - Override CSS in a single page via PAGE SETTINGS

  1. To modify just a single page, go into PAGE->SETTINGS->ADVANCED SETTINGS->PAGE HEADER TAGS and add the following:
     
    <style>
      a#dnn_dnnTERMS_hypTerms{display:none}
      a#dnn_dnnPRIVACY_hypPrivacy{display:none}
    </style>

Example #3 - Override CSS for a single portal via SITE SETTINGS (no need to edit the skin)

  1. Basically the same as example #2 except add the CSS to the site's STYLESHEET EDITOR.
     
    Go into ADMIN->SITE SETTINGS->STYLESHEET EDITOR and add the following two lines to the very bottom:
     
      a#dnn_dnnTERMS_hypTerms{display:none}
      a#dnn_dnnPRIVACY_hypPrivacy{display:none}

     

Cheers!

Glad to help, Darryl.  I thought it to be such a good, basic question that I added the solution to our site's DNN Blog as well.

Happy holidays!
