What file(s) can you modify to remove Joomla as the Generator?

Respect,

You could apply this free patch http://www.joomlatwork.com/products/free-downloads/seo-patch-joomla-15.html apart from removing the Joomla generator it has additional seo fields such as meta tags for menu items.

Correct. I meant the meta field – “generator: Joomla! 1.5 – Open Source Content Management”

If you right click on the page for “info” this appears there, I would like to replace that with my sites information instead.

Respectfully,
LMW1

Override it by adding this <?php $this->setGenerator(‘Powered by me! ‘); ?> to the header of your index.php template file (change the blue text to suit).

I’d still recommend the free patch above though as it fixes a lot of the seo problems that Joomla has.

or you could just go to the file and rem it out
this is setup in the file:
/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php

around line 183
find this
$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name=”generator” content=”‘.$document->getGenerator().'” />’.$lnEnd;

change it to this
// $strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name=”generator” content=”‘.$document->getGenerator().'” />’.$lnEnd;

Yes but then he’d have to check/redo it everytime there’s a joomla update.
