Remove Artio JoomSEF Copyright Notice

by vk

For a website it’s one of the most important issues to create SEF (Search Engine Friendly)URLs. Doing that, Artio JoomSEF is the best one for Joomla. Hovewer, when we install Artio on Joomla version 1.5, a suprize welcomes us. Artio places a copyright notice on every page of our website.

Knowing that most of you won’t like this notice, following is an easy guide to get out of that.

Firstly, go to the Joomla initialization directory.
Follow the path: components/com_sef/joomsef.php
Not to face with any problem, please backup Joomsef.php file.
• Open Joomsef.php file and go to 822. line (some may have the code on 843. line or so) Remove the security key.

That worked great for me.
