Thanks once again

Thanks farooqwasi, it means to me so much!

Hi,

Thanks a lot for such a information, but I am getting confused which line I have to modify or delete. The available line after getString() is as follows.

function getString() {
return '<'.'d'.'i'.'v'.' '.'s'.'t'.'y'.'l'.'e'.'='.'"'.'t'.'e'.'x'.'t'.'-'.'a'.'l'.'i'.'g'.'n'.':'.' '.'c'.'e'.'n'.'t'.'e'.'r'.';'.' '.'c'.'o'.'l'.'o'.'r'.':'.' '.'r'.'g'.'b'.'('.'2'.'1'.'1'.','.'

Which line I want to delete or modify.

Hi Jyotirmay Jena,

Simply replace the code/function with the following code/function so you will understand the diffrence easily.

function getString() {
return '';
}

function getString() {
return '<'.'d'.'i'.'v'.' '.'s'.'t'.'y'.'l'.'e'.'='.'"'.'t'.'e'.'x'.'t'.'-'.'a'.'l'.'i'.'g'.'n'.':'.' '.'c'.'e'.'n'.'t'.'e'.'r'.';'.' '.'c'.'o'.'l'.'o'.'r'.':'.' '.'r'.'g'.'b'.'('.'2'.'1'.'1'.','.'

Hi,

I have replace the code, but still I did not get any changes.
I have replace the Phoca texts with another name, but still getting Powered by Phoca Gallery.

I am modifying the code in the following location.
administrator/components/com_phocagallery/libraries/phocagallery/render/renderfront.php

I just want to remove the Powered by Phoca Gallery. Kindly guide me to do that.

Thanks a lot,

Jyotirmay

i use Phoca 2.6.2 and still have the same trouble - changing code can't affect anything.

i used uploaded example with
function getString() {
return '<'.'d'.'i'.'v'.' '.'s'.'t'.'y'.'l'.'e'.'='.'"'.'t'.'e'.'x'.'t'.'-'.'a'.'l'.'i'.'g'.'n'.':'.' '.'c'.'e'.'n'.'t'.'e'.'r'.';'.' '.'c'.'o'.'l'.'o'.'r'.':'.' '.'r'.'g'.'b'.'('.'2'.'1'.'1'.','.'

}

but still have the same "Powered by Phoca Gallery"

finally made it for Phoca gallery 2.6.2

1º – Edit the file view.html.php (localized in components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/)

Find: $tmpl['ab'] = base64_decode(‘PGRpdiBzdHlsZT0idGV4dC……) Replace it for: $tmpl['ab'] = ”;
save the file
——————————————-
2º – Edit the file view.html.php (localized in components/com_phocagallery/views/category/)

find: $tmpl['md'] = base64_decode(‘PGRpdiBzdHlsZT0idGV4dC……) replace it for: $tmpl['md'] = ”;
Save the file


or you can comment that strings

Hi, did You have the powered footer in:

index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=category

I remove these line but in category view I have footer :/

Can you please tell me your website URL so i can check the problem..

Sorry forgot

I just wanted to correct a small bit of code in this post.

When you replace the 2 pieces of code with the ones lightrip gives you below, it will result in an odd character (may be a question mark inside of a diamond, or it may be a square) replacing the powered by code you just removed.

To remedy this, instead of using the code below:


and


Use this code below:


and


The only difference is instead of using 1 double quote, it uses 2 single quotes.

I can confirm this works on 2.6.2

what if I don't find map components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/ for 2.6.2 version. I have 23 directories all starts with phocagallery...

how to find view.html.php

I tried search and got about 22 results. Searched everyone multipletimes with ctrl+f with no results.

Please help,
Matej

please help me too.how to remove powered by phoca gallery. i m new on joomla.i m not understanding these codes:(
i have got the path but in the file renderfront.php i m not understanding the further process.here i m gonna mention the version of phoca gallery2.6.2
please help:(

I have found the '' $tmpl['ab'] = base64_decode(‘PGRpdiBzdHlsZT0idGV4dC……)'' and successfully replaced it with the code you have instructed, and the powered by phoca has dissapeared from the categories, but when i click one category is it still there, probably because i cant find anywhere the second line ''$tmpl['md'] = base64_decode(‘PGRpdiBzdHlsZT0idGV4dC……)''

inside the view.html.php i see only the ''$tmpl['ab'] '' cant find the ''$tmpl['md']'' is that possible or i am missing something here???

thanks



update: I FOUND IT , replaced it with ''$tmpl['md'] ='';'' but nothing happened, powered by phoce is still visible..

For frontend.
Follow the following very simple steps to remove the phoca gallery powered by text.

2) Go to 'components' folder
3) and then open 'com_phocagallery' folder
4) and then open 'views' folder
5) and then open 'categories' folder
6) and then open 'tmpl' folder
7) and in the last open this file 'default.php'
8) Complete path is "components\com_phocagallery\views\categories\tmpl\default.php"
9) in this file find the echo '</form><div> </div>' . $this->tmpl['ab'].'</div>';
10) you can replace or remove ' . $this->tmpl['ab'].' to permanently remove the phoca gallery powered by text.
Note : if you want to edit the text
echo '</form><div> </div>TYPE YOUR TEXT HERE</div>';

Salut!

thank you! i did it.

can you answer another question please??

how can one user leave more than one comment in a photo?? only one comment is allowed per user, per photo right? can i do something to change that??


thanks a lot!

hi thanx for telling me the way to removing powered by text but seriously it doesnt work:( am very worried becauz i remove which line u told me.but still it is showing footer powered by...

I solved the problem w/ description above, was in wrong folder (don't know how).

thank you

Taking the guidance in the posts above, this appears to not work in 2.6.2 where there are subdirectories as it only removes the tag from the top level,

i.e. /phocagallery is ok

/phocagallery/xyz still has the tag


Changes I've made so far


In

/components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/view.html.php


I replaced $tmpl['ab'] = base64_decode(‘PGR....);

with

$tmpl['ab'] = ' ';



I replaced $tmpl['md'] = base64_decode(‘PGR....);

with

$tmpl['md'] = ' ';


I assume between the single quotes is a space , i.e. ' ' and not ''

But i've tried both with and without and it makes no difference




I've also edited

/components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/tmpl/default.php


on the last line of this file


echo '</form><div> </div>' . $this->tmpl['ab'].'</div>';


editing so that it appears as


echo '</form><div> </div></div>';

For 2.6.2 version:

1º – Edit the file view.html.php (localized in components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/)

Find:

$tmpl['ab'] = base64_decode(‘
(Important -- Make sure you replace the complete line - Example:

$tmpl['ab'] = base64_decode(‘fadhfkajnbbceeuyyyttaee);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Replace the full string ending with );

Replace it for:

$tmpl['ab'] = ' ';

save the file and upload

——————————————-
2º – Edit the file view.html.php (localized in components/com_phocagallery/views/category/)

find:

$tmpl['md'] = base64_decode(‘PGRpdiBzdHlsZT0idGV4dC……)

replace it for:

$tmpl['md'] = ' ';

3º: just under the string $tmpl['md'] you will need to replace:

$tmpl['em'] = PhocaGalleryRenderFront::getString();

with:

$tmpl['em'] = ' ';

Save and upload..

I'm sorry, I run the 2.6.2 version but don't have : components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/
This folder "categories" doesn't exist on my version...

Does somebody has a solution ?

Make sure you are not looking under administrator/components folder.
The folder must be under (root)/components/com_phocagallery

If you still don't find the folder you are not running pocha gallery component that's for sure.

You're perfectly right... I was looking in administrator ! It seems to work perfectly.
Thanx you for your support, and also thanks to fabiobarby for his contribution !

Okay this works fine in 2.6.2 for the gallery and its categories, but the powered by text still shows up in my upload section. Do you guys have any solution to this?

Just confirmed that this works in 2.6.1 and 2.6.2. This is the best way to do it since it will remove it everywhere the link might show up.

Find this -


Replace with -
