You can amend the Meta tags inside your control panel. Click on Global Settings and they are in there.

Look in the file includes/frontend.php - on line 195. If you just want to remove it then you can comment it out.

// $mainframe->addMetaTag( 'Generator', $_VERSION->PRODUCT . ' - ' . $_VERSION->COPYRIGHT);

And a better way would be.

Goto your template and add the following:
Code:
$document = &JFactory::getDocument();
/* @var $document JDocument */
$document->setGenerator('');

This will not remove the generator tag but it will clear the contents. The big advantage is when you update joomla to a newer version ( which will happen in the future ) you don't have to redo all your changes in the code.

Oops..... Errmmm this works in J!1.5 I don't know if it will work in J!1.0

After:
Code:
//$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="'.$document->getGenerator().'" />'.$lnEnd;

Havent had to upgrade this install yet. The only thing that I can think of is you might have to go back in and re-comment out that line. I am running 1.5.7 and dont have any issues.

i am running 1.5.9
See it below where to put it.


// SEO SECTION //

$seo = $this->params->get ("seo", "Joomla Software solutions Template"); # JUST FOLOW THE TEXT
$tags = $this->params->get ("tags", "Joomla Software, Joomla Templates, Youjoomla"); # JUST FOLOW THE TEXT

$slide_right = $this->params->get ("slide_right", "Watch Video");
$slide_bottom = $this->params->get ("slide_bottom", "Popular News");
#DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
define( 'TEMPLATEPATH', dirname(__FILE__) );
include( TEMPLATEPATH.DS."settings.php");
include( TEMPLATEPATH.DS."styleswitcher.php");
require( TEMPLATEPATH.DS."suckerfish.php");
Code:
[b]$document = &JFactory::getDocument();
/* @var $document JDocument */
$document->setGenerator('');[/b]


?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" >
<head>





its ok this resolves the prob. but i`ve another question,

if u look at the code now u`ll find this
Code:
<meta name="generator" content="" />


does it has any negative effect,

or better would be if someone explain the purpose of this meta tag in joomla

Change this in the head.php file -

$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="'.$document->getGenerator().'" />'.$lnEnd;

To this -

$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="YOUR TEXT HERE" />'.$lnEnd;


To change (or add) a "author" tag... Copy above and paste it directly below, then change it to look like this

$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="author" content="YOUR TEXT HERE" />'.$lnEnd;


:D hope that helps

Edit the index.php file of the default template on your site.  The template should have a block of PHP at the top of the file starting with <?php and closing with ?>.  Find this block and just before the closing PHP brace, insert the following lines of code:

// Remove the generator meta tag
$this->setGenerator(null);


Or to change it use:

// Change the generator meta tag
$this->setGenerator('My Text here');


Upgrade proof... if you don't change your template

Add to the ward123 reply, you can set other meta tags as per your needs. For Example Robots, author contact, submission & all of that what do you want....
Just add your meta tag code after this code in your template/index.php
Code:
<jdoc:include type="head" />


Code you have to add
Code:
<?php
         $this->setMetaData('robots', 'ALL' );
         $this->setMetaData('author','www.kamleshpatidar.com');
         $this->setMetaData('language','English');
         $this->setMetaData('submission','http://www.thamesmarketing.com');
         $this->setMetaData('contact','mail.kamleshpatidar@gmail.com');
         $this->setMetaData('format','text/html');
         $this->setMetaData('document-classification','Website Marketing & Software Development Company');
         $this->setMetaData('document-distribution','Global');
         $this->setGenerator('');
?>



Thanks,
Kamlesh Patidar

hi,
becareful changing joomla core can make you troubles later in upgardes.
this question is posted before in the forum, u should take a look before asking.
here is the answer of brian. (the joomla specialist)

brian a écrit:
There is a much easier way to do this without any "hacks" to the core joomla files. It's in my joomla hidden secrets presentation and only requires you to make a small modification to your site template.

In the <head> section of your template insert the following code

Code:
$this->setGenerator(null);


to remove the generator tag

or to be more funky

Code:
$this->setGenerator('Drupal');


You should NEVER hack core joomla files as you will potentialy lose any hacks when you do an upgrade

Thanks to this! I am a new joomla! user and I find this one a bit tricky yet fun to do :)
Anyway, does it contribute to SEO if you change the

I also highly recommend this little plugin that will allow you change the default generator meta tag from meta name="generator" content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" to anything you like!

Simply add the following line inside the HEAD tags of your Template index.php file:

<?php $this->setGenerator('Change this to whatever you like or leave it blank'); ?>

This way IF you upgrade your CMS core the template file is not affected by the upgrade.
