Remove SEO by Artio link in JoomSEF 3.2.3

(This fix works for most versions of JoomSEF, however the actual line for the fix may differ slightly.)

Jump into the file:
components/com_sef/joomsef.php

On line 757 (or thereabouts) the following string will be added to the end of your content ($buf is your content so far):

?View Code PHP
757

$buf.='<'.'d'.'i'.'v'.'>'.'<'.'a'.' '.'h'.'r'.'e'.'f'.'='.'"'.'h'.'t'.'t'.'p'.':'.'/'.'/'.'w'.'w'.'w'.'.'.'a'.'r'.'t'.'i'.'o'.'.'.'n'.'e'.'t'.'"'.' '.'s'.'t'.'y'.'l'.'e'.'='.'"'.'f'.'o'.'n'.'t'.'-'.'s'.'i'.'z'.'e'.':'.' '.'8'.'p'.'x'.';'.' '.'v'.'i'.'s'.'i'.'b'.'i'.'l'.'i'.'t'.'y'.':'.' '.'v'.'i'.'s'.'i'.'b'.'l'.'e'.';'.' '.'d'.'i'.'s'.'p'.'l'.'a'.'y'.':'.' '.'i'.'n'.'l'.'i'.'n'.'e'.'"'.' '.'t'.'i'.'t'.'l'.'e'.'='.'"'.'I'.'n'.'f'.'o'.'r'.'m'.'a'.'t'.'i'.'o'.'n'.' '.'s'.'y'.'s'.'t'.'e'.'m'.'s'.','.' '.'d'.'a'.'t'.'a'.'b'.'a'.'s'.'e'.'s'.','.' '.'i'.'n'.'t'.'e'.'r'.'n'.'e'.'t'.' '.'a'.'n'.'d'.' '.'w'.'e'.'b'.' '.'a'.'p'.'p'.'l'.'i'.'c'.'a'.'t'.'i'.'o'.'n'.'s'.'"'.'>'.'S'.'E'.'O'.' '.'b'.'y'.' '.'A'.'r'.'t'.'i'.'o'.'<'.'/'.'a'.'>'.'<'.'/'.'d'.'i'.'v'.'>';

To ensure nothing is appended to the end of your content, simply replace that line with this:

?View Code PHP
757

$buf.='';

And voila… link gone!

    Sweet wasnt at the line you said but i think thats to do with formatting that shitty dreamweaver does. Still found it via Ctrl+F :) Now to post it on Artio forum or not to post that is the question

    They changed it in 3.5.

    to disable the link in 3.5 look around line 1645

    or search for $cacheBuf2

    replace it with $cacheBuf2 =”;

    Cheers, DS
