The reason I am asking you to disable it because I think it is a breach of privacy. I do not want you to know when I login and logout to my account. I think that everytime I login to my account my server will check out for piwik update thus you will have a log about my account`s login log out times.
Please do not get me wrong, I am not implying any mean spirited behaviour here. I think this should be optional installation setting at least.
Its a simple HTTP GET request and at best, may contain an IP, no user information, no other details. Its certainly not a break of privacy as no private information is sent. Its also set on a timer, so there is no tracking of logging on or out…
I also think you should leve it like it is,… I love this future,… so you allways have an uptodate version of Piwik,…
A Idea could be that there is a possebility to disabel it if you use it in an critical area,…

How do I hide the “piwik” update notification object from the site, I find that my end users think it’s an action that they need to take and worry when it dose’nt work for them. If i can hide this or comment it out that would be great. I just don’t know where it is located in the newer zend framework.
I figured it out. 2 options remove the include line from the index.tpl file in plugins/CoreHome/templates/index.tpl and you can also copy and rename the header_message.tpl to something else and then wipe all lines from the original one. This second way is site wide where the first option only affects the page it’s intended for.
