Removing text on the top left corner of every page

Hi,

I have been looking to remove a text that appears on the top left corner of every page. I know I have written that somewhere the text is familiar but I want to get it removed there.

I can remove the heading but not the text. I have uploaded the image file , its the word that says eLearning at the top right.

 

Many thanks.

Try using Firebug to find out where this text comes from. Then use "display: none;" in your CSS style sheet to hide it.

PS:
CSS FAQ and Themes FAQ are good starting points for learning more about CSS and theming.


EDIT
The text at http://www.kcol.co.uk/moodle/ sits directly inside the body tag with no other tags around it to target it with CSS. So you might have to look in your source files where it comes from.

Frank thanks for yoru reply.

I use dreamweaver, i searched through dreamweaver, but I could not find that word inside the entire moodle folder, except in the config folder (where the DB connection has that name).

I think it is from somewhere in the front pannel settings but I could not see that particular word...

Guess I would be stuck in that for a while...

If it's not in the files you might search the database, e.g. using phpMyAdmin.

I hope it's not leaking from your config.php file somehow ... (you might check for some syntax error there).

Frank, Using PHPMyadmin i found the following syntax in mdl_config:

SELECT *
FROM `elearning`.`mdl_config`
WHERE (

`id` LIKE '%elearning%'
OR `name` LIKE '%elearning%'
OR `value` LIKE '%elearning%'

)
LIMIT 0 , 30

How can I disable the systax so to test... or is that not the one...?

Thanks

Sorry for the confusion, those where actually two suggestions:

1) EITHER you check anywhere in the database for occurrences of "eLearning"

2) OR you check your config.php file whether there's a syntax error which might cause the database name to appear on the website.

Ujjawal,

It's unlikely to come from a front page setting - as Frank has pointed out it is in the page source with no css tags around it, while just about everything produced by the moodle code itself would fall within one or other of the head, body or page tags at least, and usually with several other div ids or classes around it.

Much more likely is to find something in the theme code with a simple missing bracket or semi-colon or such like causing this to display outside any tags at all. For myself I would recommend searching again, but with the individual files just in a text editor rather than in Dreamweaver, but I would also suggest turning debugging on to see if it can help locate any typo that might be the cause.

You may also need to check the Additional HTML in Site Admin->Appearance to ensure nothing has been added there

Richard,

You are the MAN.... I had the eLearning mentioned in the Additional HTML Head textbox on the Site admin page.... I removed it and wallah its gone...

This thing was like having a wood stuck underneath your normal skin...   Feel like she is back to normal...

Many thanks to frank, wagner and rest of the moodlers who tried with various suggestions selflessly... unlike me
