Group Forum remove Orca from bottom

How do I remove the Orca logo and Powered by: footer at the bottom of the Group Forum page?

I will explain on the next post

This may be for ads free Orca only.

Using FTP, the file ../groups/orca/index.php on line 62 shows the following:

require_once( $gConf['dir']['base'].'xml/design.php' ); // include custom header/footer

This tells us the footer info is in xml/design.php.

Open ../groups/orca/xml/design.php. Line 47 shows:

$glFooter = substr ($sDolphinDesign, $iPos+6, $iPosBodyEnd - $iPos - 6 );

Comment this line out by adding 2 // in front of the line like this:

//$glFooter = substr ($sDolphinDesign, $iPos+6, $iPosBodyEnd - $iPos - 6 );

This will remove the entire footer including any custom footer.

*** WARNING ***
I am not a "coder", so I don't know if this is the correct way to solve the problem or if it will cause other problems. Use at your own risk.

To legally remove the Dolphin logos in the footer you need to purchase the relevant licenses or become a contributor. Otherwise you risk having your license to use Doplhin revoked.

Dolphin has to log into boonex to verify it is legal.....

I did purchase Dolphin and then Orca, but the Orca ads did not go away. Others have posted the same problem.

So you had Orca installed, and then you purchased the ad-free licenses? If you registered orca with the free licenses you need to change the license number manually for orca, and since i havent done this in some time, maybe sammie or somebody can step in and tell you exactly which file it is that needs to be edited.

if you installed ad-free and provided the ad-free license number upon installation, then just get in touch with mike letcher or lyubov and let them know your license number and your domain, and they will help you get it sorted.

I have the same problem. I keep entering the license code - but every time I add a new topic, I have to reenter. And the logos do not disappear. In which file or DB entry should I enter the code for it to stick?

I'd like to know how too.  I also have purchased the add free license and Orca is still the title on my forums pages.
