UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications Forum Design Integration my profile/register/search removal and movement

How would I go about getting rid of the standard my profile | register | search | faq | forum home and the board name above it so that I could place links for them up in the header or somewhere else???

And also possibly do the same with the » Today's Active Topics « link...

Thanks

They're located in ubb_lib.cgi, search the file for $MainButtons and you can manually remove the links that way.

Ok i tried this and after removing these lines:
========================================================================
if (exists $in{'f'}) {
$this_forum = "&search_forum=$in{f}";
} else {
$this_forum = "";
}

if ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne 'NO') {
$MyProfileLink = qq($vars_wordlets{profile_link} unless $vars_registration{SuspendRegister} eq "true";
}

if ($vars_search{AllowSearch} ne 'FALSE') {
$ifsearchrest = "|";
$SearchLink = qq($vars_wordlets{search_link} ;
}

$MainButtons = qq!
$MyProfileLink $ifmyreg $RegisterLink $ifregsearch $SearchLink $ifsearchrest $vars_wordlets{faq_link} | $vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}
!;
========================================================================
And now the oroginal UBB links are gone

The forum title is still there though. How can I remove that?

Thx,

Mike.

You don't have to remove all of that. Actually, you probably shouldn't... Put it back, if you can, and then do this:

Change:

quote:

---

$MainButtons = qq!
$MyProfileLink $ifmyreg $RegisterLink $ifregsearch $SearchLink $ifsearchrest $vars_wordlets{faq_link} | $vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}
!;

---

To just

quote:

---

$MainButtons = qq! !;

---

to empty the variable contents, but leave the reference intact. In my experience, it's always best to leave variable references intact but just make them empty, because sometimes it can cause errors if you take them out completely.

As for the logo, that will have to be manually removed from each of the public template files. If you've got a program like UltraEdit32, you can do a Replace In Files command, and replace with a space, or with nothing, and it will remove it. Otherwise just go through and remove that line yourself from all the templates.

I tried your approach Jamin, but it doesnt work. The links are all still there. The only time they arent is when I click on one of the categories...

Did you try clearing your cache?

---Jamin

Oh, the stupidity...the stupid stupidity.

Which Template files are these? Just want to know what im looking for.

Thanks for all the help Jamin

Um, I used to have a list, but I don't anymore. It's basically about half of the public_* files - about half of them reference a standard header variable from public_common.pl, and the other half create their own header. So you'll want to do this to public_common.pl and any public_* file that doesn't reference $Standard_Title_Table.

just me being stupid...sorry

So what is the proper way to do this in version 6.2.1.1? I had it all done and now the Main buttons thing is all different

It has some comments in there about them making it easier but I dont know much about CGI...

this is what it looks like now:

sub MainButtonOptions {
my($this_forum, @items);
if (exists $in{'f'}) {
$this_forum = ";search_forum=$in{f}";
} else {
$this_forum = "";
}

# Okay, everyone whining about the main button options being
# hard to add to can now cut it out. :-D

if ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne 'NO') {
# My Profile
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{profile_link}));

if($vars_registration{SuspendRegister} ne "true") {
# Register
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{register_link}));
} # end if
} # end if

if ($vars_search{AllowSearch} ne 'FALSE') {
# Search
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{search_link}));
}

# FAQ
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{faq_link}));
# Forum Home
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}));

return join(" | ", @items)
} # end MainButtonOptions

(Nevermind, please delete this message)
