How do I get rid of the default "CakePHP: the rapid development php framework" link that shows up on the top left on every page of Cake app's with default configurations? It's not part of the view, and the only way I can think of is to display:none the div in the CSS.
I'm thinking there has to be some setting in the app's configuration.
Modify app/views/layouts/default.ctp
If no view exists in that location, check cake/libs/views/layout/default.ctp
You are using the default layout, which you can override by creating your own layout file in app/views/layouts/default.ctp. See the layout section in the cookbook for more information about layouts.
In addition to @dhofstet you can make simple copy from cake/libs/views/layout/default.ctp and place it in your app/views/layouts/default.ctp and modify.
