UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? i need some help...

is there any way that I can take out (or delete) the my profile | register | search | faq | forum home links at the top along with the bbtitle.gif? I want to customize my board & just put the links in the header.

I was able to do with this with version 5, but version 6 is alot more difficult to read the scripts.

Thats easy, Just find the code in Ultimate.cgi that uses it and all the other topics that use a banner and the links (Which is alot) and delete it.

thats what I keep trying to do, but its still there when i upload the file again. and im talking about version 6 (ultimatebb.cgi) if you didnt know already. I dont know why its not going away, am I doing the wrong page or something?

well i just found out how to get rid of it on the main forum page. its in public_common.pl

now i gotta find the forums part...

That line is created in ubb_lib.cgi. Look for $MainButtons. It's safe to delete the main portion of it (everything between the "qq~ ~;"), but leave the actual blank variable ("$MainButtons = qq~ ~;" or something like that)there, because it will cause errors otherwise. Removing it that way will remove the actual links, but the table that surrounded them will still be there. However, that's the easiest and fastest route.

The other way is to actually remove the references to that variable in about a dozen different template files, which will take you a little bit longer.

I'm planning to put out a tutorial concerning this question and several others that get asked a lot, in this month's issue of the U-Zine, which is due out on the 25th, if all goes well. So if you want more specific instructions, wait till then. Hope this helps, though.
