How do I remove Powered by Joomla!; Joomla templates by SG."

Post by Nolimitsafari » Thu Feb 05, 2009 7:54 am

What the title says :) I wish to remove the "Powered by Joomla!; Joomla templates by SG web hosting
Valid XHTML and CSS. ". It's at the bottom of the page. I'm totally suck when it comes to these things so if you can be very thorough in your description that would be very helpful :)
I haven't worked on my site for a while so I've forgotten almost everything.

Easiest way would be to turn off the footer module

Extensions/module manager and disable footer

Another option is on the bottom of /templates/<yourtemplate>/index.php.

Through back end or do I need to do it on the template on my computer and then reupload the template? When I check back end I can't seem to find it. Also I can't get my breadcrumbs to work and I can't add borders on images so I think something is a bit screwed :D
I don't really know why. The breadcrumbs in enabled and everything looks fine but it doesn't work. Borders look fine back end but front end it doesn't show up.

Thanks again

Go to template manager > edit index.php

Towards the bottom of the file the designer might have hard coded the copyright info into the template. If you paste the whole file here I could probably tell really fast where it is and how to remove it.

Ok just need some dummy clarification. I got to template manager and "edit" my template. I can then choose "edit css" or "edit html" and in neither I have a index.php. If I go through the files in my template i find a index.php which contains the following.

getCfg('sitename') ;?>

countModules('left') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
countModules('right') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
params->get('showComponent')) : ?>
countModules('right') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
Valid XHTML and CSS.

BTW anyone have any idea why my breadcrumbs won't work?
Thanks alot for all the replies so far!

Great, just typed an entire tut for ya but then the forum went offline -.-

To delete the powered by line, just look for something at the bottom of your code that looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?php $sg = ''; include "templates.php"; ?>
Don't mind the $sg part, since that's just an abbreviation for siteground, where I got my template ;)

Just delete that line, and the powered by line should be gone.

What you also have to take in mind is that when you go to the index.php in the zipfile, and edit it there, that it's not yet on your site!
Just delete the previous template, upload this one and you should be okay. However, if you edit it in the HTML editor (components -> template manager etc...) it will be online without you having to reupload it.


The valid xhtml & css section is just a part for the buttons or links at the bottom, which say valid xhtml or valid css ;)

If this doesn't work, feel free to PM me with the name of the template or a link where I can download it, and I'll look into it as fast as possible :)

Good luck!

Ok so I don't know really what I did but in the Template.php file I found what I was looking for so I deleted it and re uploaded. Then only "Valid XHTML and CSS" and I found a bit of that in the index.php which i removed. Maybe I was wrong doing anything in the Template.php and could've fixed everything in the index.php but oh well seems like it's gone now :)

Anyone have any idea why breadcrumbs won't work?

Thanks a lot everyone for their advice and help!

Especially Tastrax and Cedric!

Good job :)

Are you sure that all modules & plugins involving the breadcrumbs are enabled?
Otherwise you might just go to components -> module manager, click the name of your breadcrumbs module and you can pick a place where you want it to be shown.

I had kindof the same problem with a slideshow... Nowhere I wanted it to be, it showed up :-\

But for your breadcrumbs, it's also adviced to get a template where it's activated, I've downloaded Business from siteground... You can check it out just to have an idea ;) The position of the breadcrumbs is allready implemented in the template.

Good luck! :)

Ok so user 3 worked, I've tried so many different before but obviously not that one^^
The color is a bit weird on "home" and since the website is very basic I guess I don't need it but maybe in the future depending on what happens with the business.

Thanks again for the help!

To change the color try this

#pillmenu {template.css (line 351)
color:#FFFFFF;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0 0 0 10px;
text-align:left;

to find all the module positions available on your template try this
