If you want to remove stuff from your website, a good option is ReReplacer

http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/rereplacer

To be honest, if I could not tolerate a backlink to the author's site (which is a reasonable trade-off), I would either pay for it or look for other extensions.

aicontactsafe is a good one

EvanGR - My issue is less with the backlink and more with the default styling. The FoxContact author assumes that I want my site to look a particular way and provides no options to style the output of his component. On top of that, he obfuscates his code to make it hard (impossible for some) to achieve their styling goals.

I might consider buying it if it was worth buying. Right now it fills a gap while I build something better.

Have you tried tools like Firebug? Unless I am mistaken, it lets you see and edit the css in a clear hierarchical view. Then you could bypass the default form stylesheet with your own.

having said that, I would steer clear of a component that locks me down to a specific style and provides no choice. It is clear to me that you are looking for something different also.

I use firebug all of the time. That's not the route I want to go because it's just adding more css on top of css I don't want. And there are some things applied by inline css, javascript, and other questionable methods used in that extension.

When I unobfuscated the script, I removed all of the nonsense. Without the nonsense, it's not that bad - it ships with nonsense though and attempts to make it impossible to remove.

I tried so find also where can eliminate this backlink, unsuccesful unfortunetly.
I did notice the backlink was only visible in the module with me, not the menu-link.
This means for me the backlink must be in the mod_foxcontact.php/inc

The .inc is abracadabra for me, but probably that is what the author wants.

Anybody got another good idea? :geek:

OK...for version 2.0.10, this will HIDE the backlink, not remove it. (This insures the developer gets the proper credit. It will still be visible in the source code.) I'm sure it won't be long for a new update that will make this void.

Code:
Open:
components/com_foxcontact/views/foxcontact/tmpl/default.php

Find:
<?php echo($this->FormText); ?>

Before, Add:

<?php
$Modified_Text = $this->FormText;
$visible = "visible";
$hidden = "hidden";
$Modified_Text = str_replace($visible , $hidden , $Modified_Text);
$this->FormText = $Modified_Text;
?>

What version are you using? As I pointed out, this is for 2.0.10, and it works perfectly for me.

I just found the solution for the newest release of fox contact after a long research.

go to public_html/components/com_foxcontact/helpers/fsubmitter.php

and on line 79

you will see this

Code:
return $result . submittext() . PHP_EOL;


change it to

Code:
return $result . PHP_EOL;


thank me :p haha

cholzsch's code above worked like a charm on version 2.0.10! If you can grok what that code does, it's really a neat trick. cholzsch is right, however, when he says that it could be easily defeated ...

Thanks cholzsch!

I would usually pay for scripts if they are good (Fox Contact IS), but I need to deliver a project tomorrow and this guy’s website is not working (fox.ra.it). Since there is no way to pay for it, I decided I do something to eliminate the “power by”.

The last version has a much more difficult obfuscation, so it was impractical to fix that. I came up with a different approach (not very elegant, but it works). I am posting here in case anybody needs it since it is impossible to pay for the extension.

Simply open /components/com_foxcontact/views/foxcontact/tmpl/default.php and insert this instruction in the JavaScript block at the end of that file:

$$('#FoxForm div').getLast().dispose();

That will eliminate the DIV completely. As I said, not very elegant… but it is better than nothing.

I am sure the developer will come up with a way to fix that too (instead of fixing his website), but for the time being, I can deliver my work tomorrow.

Just to let you know that this worked like a charm. Thank you josemanuelsh

Any idea how to hide that in the module? I'm using it in an article by {loadposition } because I need the article template.
I hided it in the component but can't in the module. Thanks! :)

A little modification in the moparlakci solution, if the page layout is effected.

Quote:
go to public_html/components/com_foxcontact/helpers/fsubmitter.php


Code:
return $result . submittext() . PHP_EOL;


change it to

Code:
return $result ."</div>". PHP_EOL;

Thank you very much, it works! :)

I also have a big empty space between the publication date and the beginning of the Fox Contact module.

Do you know how I can remove it?

Thanks! :)

The space might be due to any reason, not necessarily due to fox contact... If you are using firefox then use firebug (addon) to inspect the space.

Yes, I already inspected that space and it's in the foxcontact div. It's where appear the errors when you send the form. I tried to see in the template but I can't find how to remove it when it is empty.

Yes I'm with the last version! I tried lot of things but no one worked.

The problem it's not in the css and I don't find the php file that generate that big space. (it's not the default.php in the tmpl folder)

And I tried also with Firefox and IE but it's always the same.

Here other screenshots with the firebug inspection.

Any idea?

Thanks.

EDIT: I tried another template and with it there isn't the empty space. Now I must understand why my template generates that space. :\

Just to let every one know, cholzsch's code above still works on version 2.0.12. The original Fox Contact code has changed slightly, but inserting the code at the right place works like magic. If you upgrade Joomla to 2.5.x, you WILL have to install Fox Contact 2.0.12.

Hi,
I found out a way for version 2.0.10, but i see JawadSahil already found out the same way above. However i would at least a little improve it.

components/com_foxcontact/helpers/fsubmitter.php

line: 79

code:
return $result . submittext() . PHP_EOL;

replace by:
return $result . "</div>" . PHP_EOL;

if you just remove submittext() it will (or at least it did to me) f**k up html structure with missing closing DIV
