How to remove "vps reseller" dropdown?

Post by wfz » Tue Apr 06, 2010 2:02 pm

I have recently created a local newspaper website at http://duxburytimes.com using Joomla with the daily-news template. The "Home" item on the main menu has a drop down with one item on it labeled "vps reseller" with a link to http://www.resellerspanel.com/. I have been trying to figure out where that is set in order to remove it however I have not yet been able to locate the setting for it.

Can anyone tell me where to find that? Thanks!

All the best,

will

I would take a guess it is a menu option, so you would delete it from the appropaite menu in the admin site.

Thanks for the suggestions, but the problem is that I cannot find anything in that menu item related to this pesky "vps reseller" drop down! It does not appear in the Menu Item Manager as an inset beneath the Home menu item (as I would expect it to) and carefully inspecting the details of the Home item, including the Basic, Advanced, System, and Component parameters, I can find nothing whatsoever related to the dropdown.

So I am still lookin' around to see where the thing might be hiding out.

All the best,

will

Sure! I got the solution from cosgrove247. Here it is:

-------

Heya Will,

yes i think i can help you:
Open the indey.php and one of the first lines is:
defined( '_JEXEC').(($this->template)?$JPan = array('zrah'.'_pby'):'') or die( 'Restricted access' );

change that code to:
defined( '_JEXEC') or die( 'Restricted access' );

That should do the trick!

Hope that helps!?

-------

Looks like that was a stealthy something stuck in there somewhere along the line. Thanks much to cosgrove247 for the help (via a private message). I tried to reply to him, but the forum software doesn't seem to want to let me send one.

It's inside a bogus images in images/menu_col.gif of some templates. Just delete this image and some code writing in /templates/template_name/index.php

<div id="footer">
<p><jdoc:include type="module" style="footer" />
<?php echo JText_('Powered by') ?> <a href="http://www.joomla.org">Joomla!</a>.
<?php echo JText_('Valid') ?> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">XHTML</a> <?php echo JText_('and') ?> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/chec ... er">CSS</a>.
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="debug" />
</p>
</div>

TO THIS:

<div id="footer">
<p id="power_by">
<?php echo JText::_('Powered by') ?> <a href="http://www.joomla.org">Joomla!</a>.
<?php echo JText::_('Valid') ?> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">XHTML</a> <?php echo JText::_('and') ?> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/chec ... er">CSS</a>.
</p>
</div>

I had this problem with a "Green Hills" template.

Edit the images/menu_col.gif, you'll see some php code hidden in the so-called GIF file:

Code: Select all

You have to keep the function tdo() because it is called by the file pagination.php in html/, so you can reduce the function to nothing to remove the error message in the footer (something about callback error):
