How to remove the reference to the bigbluebutton.com website?


I am currently working on the implementation of the bigbluebutton software and I require hide the links to the web page bigbluebutton, because they appear as methods of contact and this may confuse users of the system, because the contact methods should relate to the company providing the service and not bigbluebutton.

How I can hide these links?

Link in the chat area:

Print screen

Link in the footer area:

Print screen


Solution

    1. How to disable link in Chat area:

    Modify /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/web-inf/class/bigbluebutton.properties.

    Set "defaultWelcomeMessageFooter" property to empty or perhaps html break tag. Restart nginx to see effect.

    1. How to modify the footer:

    For this, you will first have to setup a development environment, following url explains how to do this. https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/081DevelopingBigBlueButton

    Then change “bbb.mainshell.copyrightLabel2” property in ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton–client/locale/en_US/bbbResources.properties

    Afterwards rebuild your client using “ant locales”, and copy output file: en_us_resources.swf to /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/locale.

    NOTE: You might need to restart the bigbluebutton server once in the end. Also I have used locale en_US for example, you should modify inside the locale you are working with.
