How to remove power by joomsocial in email?

If anyone use the version joomsocial 2.6, which runs onjoomla 2.5.x, you easily find that in all emails contain the sentence "power by joomsocial" above the line of copyright.

It takes long time to look around, but people say that you must by pro version to get rid of it.

I look back again the code, and I finally think about listbingo component, maybe it has the same technique, and i'm right. It 's all in CTemplate like in GTemplate of listbingo.

Now I will show you how to remove it. Open the file components/com_community/library/template.php. Go to line 308 and remove the code:

1.if (!COMMUNITY_PRO_VERSION) {

2.//POWERED BY LINK//

3.$jConfig = JFactory::getConfig();

4.$siteName = $jConfig->getValue( 'sitename' );

5.$powerBy = 'Powered by http://www.jomsocial.com/">JomSocial for . JURI::root() . '">' .$siteName . '';

6.}

Test again, everything 's done. Hope this is helpful for you.

How to modify categories view in virtuemart?

In virtuemart forjoomla 1.5 , the category view is difficult to find out where to modify. Specially, the default number of columns is 4, and now you want to change to 3, you don't have any option to change. I have taken all day to find out where it is and how the virtuemart runs.
Firstly, the home page of virtuemart is set by the file administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.index.php, and the template is components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/template/common/shop.index.tpl.php. For example, if you don't want to display categories view at the front page you can delete
echo $categories at line 7.

An easy way insert captcha in any module or component of joomla?

A popular way to stop spammer from spamming is using captcha. But writing an own captcha will take a lot of time. There is one simple way to solve this problem is using Joomla reCAPTCHA Integrator Plugin. It uses an external captcha from recaptcha.net now belong to google http://www.google.com/recaptcha.

How to use it:

1. Download it from: http://www.joomlaez.com/

2. login to http://www.google.com/recaptcha to get reCAPTCHA Public Key and reCAPTCHA Private Key. Or you can use mine:

ex: public key: 6Lf6AssSAAAAAEvaWJr-DvFPAj5pXLQeZaeP_zTX private key: 6Lf6AssSAAAAAJLFx2HpG86yCwEoskIpW3ZQ7Znk

3. Install , enable and enter public and private key

4. In HTMLmodule insert {captcha} where you need to display captcha

5. In general please insert

{code}

global $mainframe;
$mainframe->triggerEvent('onCaptchaDisplay'); {/code} to display captcha.

6. If Auto-verify with reCAPTCHA option is enabled, the plugin will check if captcha verification data exists then automatically connect to reCAPTCHA and ask for confirmation. This method requires a little more system resource on every page load but really useful if you have many pages need captcha verification.
If you don't want to enable captcha verification globally but for just few pages then you might want to disable Auto-verify with reCAPTCHA option. To verify user response, insert the following PHP code to the controller file of individual Joomla! extension where captcha verification needed:
{code}
global $mainframe;
$mainframe->triggerEvent('onCaptchaConfirm'); {/code}
