Disable message function does not work
Summary
ISPConfig ALMOST allows you to disable showing the message function, effectively disabling support messages. Navigation to the setting: System->Main config->Misc->Show message function in help module
After you disable showing the message function, ISPConfig still shows the message function to resellers and clients.
When the admin navigates to the Help tab, In the right view the ISPConfig version is shown. In the left navigation pane there is no longer an option for message functions.
When the reseller or client navigates to the Help tab, In the right view the message function is still shown. In the left navigation pane there is no longer an option for message functions.
Proposed fix
I can fix this by showing the ISPConfig version in the default admin, reseller and client views by editing the files: help/version.php help/lib/module.conf.php
Secondary issue
This brings us to a secondary issue. A previous developer considered the ISPConfig version top secret information that should be kept secret from everyone except the admin. If anyone can give a rational explanation why the version number should be kept top secret from everyone, please let me know so I can change my fix.
