Good afternoon, can you tell me if it is possible to hide the string “Shared by:” when creating a link?

Currently, there is no built-in configuration setting to toggle the “Shared by:” string on the share link page. However, you can achieve this using one of the following customization methods:

Method 1: Using Custom CSS (Easiest)

You can hide the element by adding a custom CSS rule.

  1. Create a CSS file (e.g., custom.css) in your Seafile custom media directory.
  2. Add a rule to hide the “Shared by” section. Usually, this can be targeted with a rule like:
    /* Example - you may need to inspect the page to find the exact class */
.shared-by-section { 
    display: none !important; 
}
  3. In your seahub_settings.py, add or update the BRANDING_CSS setting:
    BRANDING_CSS = 'custom/custom.css'
  4. Restart Seahub.

For more details on custom CSS, see the Seahub Customization documentation.

Method 2: Template Overwriting

If you want to remove the code entirely from the page, you can overwrite the HTML template.

  1. Locate the relevant template in the Seahub source code (likely shared_file_view.html or shared_dir.html).
  2. Copy the file to seahub-data/custom/templates/.
  3. Edit the copied file and remove the HTML block containing the “Shared by” text.
  4. Restart Seahub.

Customizations placed in seahub-data/custom/templates/ are maintained after upgrades. You can find more information about template customization in the Admin Manual (the process is the same for web templates as it is for email templates).

I found “sharedBy” in the files:
shared_file_view_react.html
view_shared_dir_react.html
moved /custom/templates/ along the path
if I delete the line "sharedBy: '{{…
then the line on the tab still remains, only the username is deleted.
I left it in this version - sharedBy: ‘Organization’,
And it works.
