In reply to: Do I need to distribute code? GPL question.Thanks for the advice. The business plan revolves around hosting and support. The contract with the client(s) will be very clear that they are only paying for hosting, access, and support. Hopefully from what I have written before you can see that I am a big supporter of the open source movement… the model that I am using does push the limits of what I am comfortable doing but I have to pay off a lot of loans and this seems like a way to help with that.
I plan to donate 5% of net profit back into the community… I hope this will help with those that do not believe anybody shoud make a profit from open source software.

In reply to: Do I need to distribute code? GPL question.I appreciate the input and expertise; however, I still do not have an answer to my question. I have and will continue to maintain ownership of the URL and the website… my friend will never take the source off of my server. Now, my question is, what if tomorrow my friend becomes a client and I provide them with a similar service. IE. I set up the site, do customization, host, and give them access to the admin panel of the site do I have to give them a copy of the code?
I am not some evil code pirate. I contribute to multiple open source projects, run one of my own (http://bcicstest.uvic.ca/soundmap), and have spent the last two years working at the British Columbia Institute of Co-operative Studies (http://web.uvic.ca/bcics/opensource.htm) pushing for Government and non-profit agencies to adopt open source solutions…. however, I am about to graduate with a Bsc in computer science and I am looking for a way to help pay off my student loans and the customization I have done is more feasible if I do not have to give it away.
wp-admin/edit-page-form.php has the stuff you can take out to remove the menu items on the write page admin panel… still looking for the one for write post

In reply to: Change Admin Panel Label????wp-admin/edit-page-form.php has the stuff you can hack outto remove the menu tabs on the write page admin panel. Now all I needs is the file to remove the stuff on the write post… er I mean on the write to front page page 😉
I managed to remove the ‘Discussion’ menu item by hacking up wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php, but I do not think this is the best place to do this. I am sure there must be a place where all these items are listed in sequence… like the file that dictates their format in the admin panel… however I have not been able to find it yet. If anybody knows please share. Also, I am not sure (still new to WordPress) but from what I have been reading you may be able to set the permission level for accessing these functions in one of the files. SO you could remove these items by setting their permission levels so high that no one can access them. If anybody knows where that file may be I would be greatful.
Thank you all that contribute (*salutes*)

In reply to: Change Admin Panel Label????Thank you so much… there sure are a lot of files to go through. I am still having a tough time finding the ‘Discussion’ and ‘Post Slug’ stuff in the files… I managed to remove ‘Discussion’ by hacking up the edit-form-advanced.php file, but there must be a better palce because all the functions that show up in the sidebar on the write page, and write post admin panels are not here in sequence… if anybody knows where I could do all this (remove/edit them) please let me know… all I need is the file name. If I find it I will post back to this thread.
Thanks for all the help (*salutes*)
I am also looking for this… I’ll be sure to let you know if I find it.

In reply to: Change Admin Panel Label????Still have not found a solution… for the same reasons I am also looking to remove the ‘Discussion’ and ‘Post Slug’ drop down menus on the ‘Write Post’ Page. If somebody could just tell me which files to take a look at I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks much.

In reply to: Customize Admin PanelThanks for the reply. Sorry if it was n00b question, but I have had a hard time navigating the vast amount of information available on WordPress. Your effort is greatly appreciated.
Best regards.

In reply to: Removing wp- on filesHehehhe… I did not notice the time stamp. These are subjects I am interested in, and hence why I responded.
I will cease any further participation.

In reply to: Removing wp- on filesCould you not just recursively descend through all the files in the WP folder piping them through tr /wp-// in a unix shell… or something similar?
I see no reason why this would not work… if I am wrong please enlighten me.

In reply to: Give Credits!All I can say is this:
If you do not like the terms and conditions of the GPL then why are you working within its construct?
This license enables people in the technology community to produce high output with less input, which allows individuals to avoid working for the man and not take it in the &*$#@
Could you imagine what it would be like if you had to thank every contributor to the Linux kernel? Or what about the people that developed PHP? or SQl? or TCP/IP? or the Intraweb?
I mean when it really comes down to it, the designers of WordPress templates have the last and easiest job in a long line of development… “We can only see so far because we are standing on the shoulders of giants.”
If you are unhappy with the terms of this license do not develop under it.
I make no excuse.
