UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications Forum Design Integration Removing "my profile | directory login | register | search | faq | forum home"

How do you remove this stuff from the top of each page? Also, how do you remove the forum title from there as well?

I have a logo and links for all this stuff up in my header. I had it removed at some point, but then the admin of my hosting company upgraded us to 6.4 and all my modifications were gone and 6.4 is different from however I did it before. I also think he will be upgrading to 6.5 soon so if that is different please tell me how to strip this tuff out of both 6.4 and 6.5.

Thanks

There's no simple way to remove this stuff - while you can alter the profile/faq/search links by editing MainButtonsLine in public_common, the header itself is in practically every template.... You might want to look at the Compact Headers template set, or the JC template set. Both offer an alternative header layout that should work better for you.

I could use a little help with this myself.

Am using 6.2.1 and would like to replace the profile/faq/search line with icons instead to bring it more into visual meld with the board.

i figured out the $MainButtonsLine was the controlling call, but that is where I got stumped. It doesn't seem to be defined anywhere that I can change in public_common - is it wordlet definition?

as can no doubt tell, am smart enough to figure out approx where the change needs to be made, but am not saavy enough to figure out the edit... help?

In 6.2.1 MainButtonsLine is in ubb_lib, I think.

Has this become any easier in version 6.5.0? A long while ago probably around 6.1 or something I had removed all of these and it was pretty easy. But things have changed drastically and I dont know where to start.

I just played with the JC templates a bit but dont see an easy way to do it with that either. Unless it is just replacing the images with blank gif's or something.

I would also like to remove the "UBB Title" from this area as well. Any usefuel help would be appreciated.

Thanks

yeah, just open ubblib.cgi and delete what you like to *g*

I sugguest if you'd like to replace the header links with images that you look into the Cosmetic Links modification... It'll give fairly in debth instructions on how to set it up, made for 6.4, works with 6.5 with some minor editing.

Ok, and where in that file might I find what I am looking for?

Gizzy, I am not looking to use images. I want the links gone all together. Along with the forum name above them. Someone previously mentioned that JC Templates might be of some help. I dont really see how though.

I suggest using the compact headers. It'll have the same setup as here, and you can just go into public_common.pl and comment out the mainbuttonline stuff

The cosmetic links mod will show everything where it is lol... you could just search for forum home in that file too ...

in which file?

public_common.pl

I am currently running UBB.Classic version 6.1.0.3 and will be upgrading around January to the latest version.

I would like to do everything mentioned in this thread (remove forum title and text nav links) and in addition, remove the show all topics jump menu at the top, and the forum jump menu at the bottom.

It beats me why we even need to have hacks for this at all. Infopop really should incorporate the option to turn the whole mess off and use our own headers with navigation buttons.

Can someone give me an easy way to this for now in the current version?

Thanks.

In the current version they use a centralized header, not entirely sure of the options since i don't use it (i have it, it's just not used).

I removed the universal header and replace it with code I inserted into the header in the style template. Somehow I ended up removing some info from the top of other pages that seems to have depended on the original header. I was able to work around it but you have to be careful when you delete anything.

Just my 2 cents on this topic:

In public_common.pl

Look for
The line before that one, turn it into something like this

That should do the trick.

I wrote an amazing mod for 6.6 to remove the main buttons line.

In public_common.pl
FIND:
REPLACE WITH:
A lot of this kinda code is in 6.6, so look around.

If you want to also hide the bbtitle image, do this

In public_common.pl
FIND:
REPLACE WITH:
And if you wanna hide the board name,
In public_common.pl
FIND:
REPLACE WITH:
Oooooh Ahhhhhh

Once again, I say: TOOK YA LONG ENOUGH!

think about it though... I'm still the first to post it

Which either means no one's looking, or no one had figured it out...

Damn, would have saved me some trouble, but then again it may not have. I had to make sure that there were no spaces or
's between the TBB's and TBT's or the gfx I use have an ugly gap between them. I'm not sure that thiw would have helped with my header replacement.

The fact of the matter is that I wouldn't have known to use it if it would have worked.

OK, I don't want to remove my Main Buttons Line, but I would like to reorganize it. I have way too many links at the top page in a straight line, and I'm even missing one somehow (statistics). I'd like to maybe have 3 rows of links evenly spread out underneath the board name. How difficult would that be?

Thanks, Ian!

I'm trying to keep the My Profile and the Full Menu button links and the other links in that line to replace with a drop down menu.

Where exactly do I place the code of that drop down?

Edit Template: public_common.pl

Look For:
sub MainButtonOptions {

Just under that line or in any specific place in that are? do I have to add any tags or something or just pasting the drop down code is enough?

Couse I've tried it in a few ways and no luck

Thanks

You'll have to do some tinkering with it but that sub contains all of the data for the navigation links.
