Disable Automatic-Update-Check

Hello,

I’m looking for a way to stop Piwik checking for updates automatically. I had several “downtimes” of my Piwik installation cause api.piwik.org was down and so the dashboard was not available (-> automatic update check wasn’t possible). I check manually for Piwik updates and never do it with automatic update. So, Does anybody know where to deactivate this function?

Many thanks for your help.

I’ would also like to be able to do this - I go out through a Proxy to the internet and immediately after a successful install I cannot see anything but the attached error screen style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif .

I created a ticket: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/ticket/977

If you open this file in a text editor :
piwik\plugins\CoreHome\templates\header_message.tpl
and just erase all content and than save this empty file.

Now all update nagging is gone.

On 1.0 : piwik/core/View.php
Search for latest_version_available, set it to false instead of calling the update function.
