Remove "Powered by Phoca Gallery" Text

Phoca Gallery is a fantastic open source extension for Joomla. It is a full featured photo gallery that is fairly easy to use. Phoca Gallery is open source GPL. By default Phoca Gallery puts a "Powered by Phoca Gallery" copyright line in the footer of every Phoca page. If it's your own website you might not mind giving credit to the developer as they deserve then it might be ok but when I've used it on a client website I have always been asked to remove it as it does look unprofessional. If you are going to remove it I would also suggest making a donation to Phoca Gallery as I have. This method shows how to remove the copyright from the 2.7.6 version of Phoca Gallery.
Youll need to install Phoca Gallery and navigate to your website folders via FTP...
1. Open the file administrator\components\com_phocagallery\front\views\category\view.html.php
Search for the long string around line 165 that begins with

Remove Powered by Phoca Guestbook

Pocha Guestbook is the product of Pocha.cz, is one of the joomla component that serves to increase the Guestbook facility on the web that use Joomla CMS.

How To Remove Help Menu From Joomla Administrator's Menu

The First Thing to do this is:
Just go to the folder ...administrator >> modules >>mod_menu

Second thing :

Modify the file 'Helper.php'

For e.g. If you want to delete the 'Help Menu'
Go to /* Help SubMenu */ section of Helper.php file
Delete the text -->'Help'
$menu->addChild(new JMenuNode(JText::_('')), true);

This will hide Help Menu....

You can also change links, text...
For e.g.

$menu->addChild(new JMenuNode(JText::_('Your text'), 'http://www.anysite.com', 'class:help'));


I hope that these "tricks" help you along the way.....
