In file
joomla25_root/administrator/components/com_kunena/libraries/view.php

Find this code at around line 73

Code: Select all

			echo $this->poweredBy();
Change to

Code: Select all

//			echo $this->poweredBy();
In my brief tests that eliminated the nag.


The actual code is lower down in the same file around line 394

Code: Select all

	final public function poweredBy() {
			$credits = '<div style="text-align:center">';
			$credits .= JHTML::_('kunenaforum.link', 'index.php?option=com_kunena&view=credits', JText::_('COM_KUNENA_POWEREDBY'), '', '', 'follow', array('style'=>'display: inline; visibility: visible; text-decoration: none;'));

Thanks so much for your help. The suggestion worked perfectly. I am using Joomla 2.5.6 w/the most recent version of Kunena. Locating the correct file would have taken forever.

That said; I am a paid member, and surprised that the Kunena folks required this much surgery for what must be a common request. I will have a 'credits' page, and will list them there once everything is setup fully...but...this was almost disheartening.

Anyhow, thanks again. I'd love some feedback if you have time: http://louisvilledem.com

Alternatively, you can comment out line 403

original:

403 echo $credits;

to

403 // echo $credits;

Hello dears. I have the latest version of Kunena. But theres is no any folder named LIBRARY. there is only lib but it doesn't consist view.php.
Please can anybody help me to find and remove powered by kunena.

thank you in advance

uzbaby,

The latest Kunena version is 2.0.2

There IS a libraries folder and a view.php file.

I suspect you are looking in root/components/com_kunena/ rather than root/administrator/components/com_kunena/

the libraries folder is in the administrator /components/com_kunena

Should we expect anything less from Sozzled? This is the reason I don't waste my time with the so-called Kunena support.

Thanks to everyone who helped with this issue... it really helped me after a recent update. Kudos to the Joomla support community!!

I think I found a better method. You can update the kunenu_configuration table - add a credits = 0 parameter and it will no longer show the item. That way you don't have to hack a component file.

Code: Select all

{"credits":"0",
"board_title":"YOUR FORUM NAME",
"email":"",
"board_offline":"0"

... etc etc

The line in the view.php file

Code: Select all

$credits = '<div style="text-align:center">';
change to

Code: Select all

$credits = '<div id="kuncredits">';
In your CSS template:

Code: Select all

#kuncredits {
display:none;
}

even easier, dont bother look for template css just do this:

line 423,
$credits = '<div style="text-align:center">';

change to this

$credits = '<div style="text-align:center; display:none;">';

basically just adding this display none in side this same code.

It is so much confusing that inspite of doing everything in this thread, the 'Powered by Kunena' has not been removed. I want to do that neither to deprive them or disrespect the efforts of Kunena developers, nor to make profit out of that, but the reason is totally personal. But, none of these informations worked.

BTW the file 'view.php' would be found in '/public_html/libraries/kunena/'. The path as well as the code mentioned here in many posts is wrong. And the actual code,

Code: Select all

if ($this->config->get('credits', 1)) $this->poweredBy();
in line 82 doesn't exist any more, it can be found in line 86. And in line 427 this code can be found:

Code: Select all

final public function poweredBy() {
			$credits = '<div style="text-align:center">';
			$credits .= JHtml::_('kunenaforum.link', 'index.php?option=com_kunena&view=credits', JText::_('COM_KUNENA_POWEREDBY'), '', '', 'follow', array('style'=>'display: inline; visibility: visible; text-decoration: none;'));
			$credits .= ' <a href="http://www.kunena.org" rel="follow" target="_blank" style="display: inline; visibility: visible; text-decoration: none;">'.JText::_('COM_KUNENA').'</a>';
			if ($this->ktemplate->params->get('templatebyText')) {
				$credits .= ' :: <a href ="'. $this->ktemplate->params->get('templatebyLink').'" rel="follow" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none;">' . $this->ktemplate->params->get('templatebyText') .' '. $this->ktemplate->params->get('templatebyName') .'</a>';			}
			$credits .= '</div>';
			echo $credits;
}
I deactivated all these codes by putting '//' at the start of each line, though it didn't work at all. Its my bad luck. :(

If anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :(

This IS what you want to do - this works and you do not have to touch any files.

Thou you will need access to your database through for instance phpmyadmin to edit that kunenu_configuration table to insert the "credits":"0", parameter.

Thanks! to mircomgroup for this excellent tip (see post above)

for those who want to remove it on kunena 3.0.0 it is line 86 under /public_html/libraries/kunena

Code: Select all

//			if ($this->config->get('credits', 1)) $this->poweredBy();
aditionally i commented out all lines from 443 to 452:

Code: Select all

//	final public function poweredBy() {
//			$credits = '<div style="text-align:center">';
//			$credits .= JHtml::_('kunenaforum.link', 'index.php?option=com_kunena&view=credits', JText::_('COM_KUNENA_POWEREDBY'), '', '', 'follow', array('style'=>'display: inline; visibility: visible; text-decoration: none;'));
//			$credits .= ' <a href="http://www.kunena.org" rel="follow" target="_blank" style="display: inline; visibility: visible; text-decoration: none;">'.JText::_('COM_KUNENA').'</a>';
