How to hide the atlassian logo in the footer

[ProcessWeaver-Softwares]

Hi All,

Right now we are using JIRA 6.3.5, we want to hide the Atlassian Logo which is present in the footer.

what are the changes i need to do in footer.vm file, is there any possibility to customize the logo instead of hiding?

Thanks in advance

If you really want to do this, the easiest way is to add the following to the Announcements Banner in JIRA:

<style>
	footer#footer { background: transparent; } /* Works for JIRA 6.1 - Hides the grey "Charlie" */
	#footer-logo { display: none; } /* Works for JIRA 6.3 - hide the Atlassian logo/link */
</style>

This will survive an upgrade. Other approaches won't.

Aside:

Whether removing Atlassian's logo is within the terms of the customer agreement is open to debate.

The Atlassian Customer Agreement states:

6.4 Attribution. In any use of the Software, you must include the following attribution to Atlassian on all user interfaces in the following format: “Powered by Atlassian,” which must in every case include a hyperlink to http://www.atlassian.com, and which must be in the same format as delivered in the Software.

JIRA 6.3.1 does not even have the "Powered by Atlassian" text in the footer:

So in theory, perhaps all users of JIRA 6.3.1 are already in violation of the customer agreement.

Thanks Adrian and Henning.

i don't have any problem with that text, but need to remove the logo.

Does i need to change the code in both velocity.properties and footer.vm files or only footer.vm?

Thanks,

Vishnu

The change in velocity.properties is only needed to reload .vm files "on the fly", without restarting JIRA. It's not needed to modify the footer. IMO you have to modify .../atlassian-jira/includes/decorators/aui-layout/footer.jsp to remove the footer logo.

Hi @Henning Tietgens

I have changed as you said, but no use.

Apart from this, i want to add some content after the atlassian logo in the footer.

Is it possible? If yes, please explore the way to do it.

Thanks

Hi @Fayaz Abdul,

Did you restart Jira after your changes to footer.jsp? Could you post your footer.jsp after your changes?

Thanks for quick response @Henning Tietgens,

Here is my code after changes...

<%@ page import="com.atlassian.jira.plugin.navigation.HeaderFooterRendering" %>
<%@ page import="static com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.*" %>
<section class="footer-body">
<%
HeaderFooterRendering footerRendering = getComponent(HeaderFooterRendering.class);
footerRendering.includeFooters(out, request);
// include web panels
footerRendering.includeWebPanels(out, "atl.footer");
%>
<div id="footer-logo"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.atlassian.com/">Atlassian</a>
<ul class="legal-menu">
<li><a href="/en/accessibility">Accessibility</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/privacy">Privacy</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/terms-use">Terms of use</a></li>

As you said i have restarted jira, but no use

Thanks

Hi @Fayaz Abdul,

to remove the logo you have to remove the <div id="footer-logo">...</div> part from the file. For Jira 7+ you additionally have to remove a lot of servlet config sections from web.xml, because the jsp files itself are precompiled. See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-59587 for details and a description on how it should work in the comments.

Yes, but it's illegal for you to do it. The text "Powered by Atlassian Confluence", with the link behind it must NOT be removed. It's in your licence agreement.
