UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Help!...Please.

I doubt if this is in the right forum...so move it if not.

I need to get rid of :

my profile | register | search | faq | forum home |

At the top of my page, so i can put a custom header.

Can someone be kind enough to help me out...PLEASE?

Check out public_common.pl, sub MainButtonLine

thank you!....what do i do, just delete that whole section or what?

I want to be able to still reach those places via buttons on custom header.

As you can tell...i am completly new at all of this.

I would just delete "$mainbuttonsline" code from the "Tables" in public_common.pl (at least 4 places). By doing so however, you'll no longer have your main button links unless you were going to hardcode it. For myself I didn't use the "$mainbuttonsline" but I left the "sub MainButtonOptions {" intact.

too confusing.

With what you said...somehting about tables and hard code...if i delete that...would those pages still exist?
So like if i have the links as an image in my heade...would they work corectly?r

Well, if you delete "$MainButtonsLine" your pages will still exist. Your links: "my profile | register | search | faq | forum home |" will no longer display however. Basically you'll have to manually code it yourself.

If you want to replace the word links with image links then do what Charles said by going into your public_common.pl file (noncgi) and look for:

sub MainButtonOptions {

If you're not familiar with HTML this might get a little tricky. Whatt you will need to do is remove:

$vars_wordlets{profile_link}
$vars_wordlets{login_link}
$vars_wordlets{register_link}
$vars_wordlets{directory_link}
$vars_wordlets{search_link}
$vars_wordlets{faq_link}
$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}

which display the word links and replace them with your image code "" It's important to look at the words in the above codes and you'll see which is for the "my profile", "register", "search", "register", "faq" and "forum home". Example:

$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link} = forum home

Well, if you're looking to remove the |'s check:

I ask things in twos BTW... If you're just looking to get rid of them completely, you'd have to remove the actual lines from the template as described in the above posts.

If you're looking for the "Cosmetic Links" (links as images basically) check:

Eh?

I thought he was trying to get rid of the | guess I was wrong :x...

Initially I thought he wanted to get rid of the entire "MainButtonsLine". His 4th post I got the impression he wanted image links instead of the standard "vars wordlets" links. The Cosmetic Links is a good option in this case.

Then again I could be wrong.

Can never tell half the time so I included differant options, figured that hopefully one would be correct lol...

Ok....i want to completely get rid of the links and |'s. However, i need the pages that they link to, to still work, because i then want to make a custom header and include links to some of those pages (search, profile, etc).

So i think you guys have explained it good enough. Ill try it out in a while.

Oh...one more thing...... Will one of those ways get rid of the Forum Title above the links too? I This to (of course) will be added to the custom header. If not......how can i do this?

Thanks you guys.

#1 question: Yes...The pages will still exist but not the default links to those pages. By removing "$MainButtonsLine" you'll get rid of both links and "|".

#2 question:

In public_common.pl look for:

Prime always gets to things before me, and to think, I'm using the XML output to read posts lol... GJ btw... FareWell, I look forward to see your final result .

In 6.5 getting rid of the $mainbuttonsline in standard_title_table and the search version isn't going to help. $mainbuttonsline is in the templates directly. The JCTemplates use standard_title_table but the standard templates don't.

You either have to remove the code from within the $mainbuttonsline definition in public_common.pl or remove $mainbuttonsline from each template.

Umm...What UBB version are you running because X is right about 6.5 version. Can you also take a screenshot of your "board title" so I have a better idea what you are referring to?

running 6.3.1.2.

I mean the text right above the links that i wanted to get rid of...its my board name or title.

How do i take a screen shot?

Ahh...I wonder if you deleted part of the image code which also contains "$vars_config{BBName}"?:

Press "Print Screen" on your keyboard (on the right of "F12" key then you can copy and paste that to Paint.

Halelujiah! Its Gone.......thank you very much!!!!!!!

Don't forget to do that too with the "$search_standard_title_table" in public_common.pl.

i lied, all the |searc|...etc links are gone on the first page, but they are still there on the right once i go into the forums.

On every page (other than the forum summary) or just the forum pages?

just the forum pages....(and opened threads).

Hmm...Hehe.

You may need to edit the "$MainButtonsLine" manually in the public_forum_page.pl and public_topic_page.pl files. Then again if you are certain you do not want these links you can just do with Charles and X suggested by going into public_common.pl and edit out the codes in:

[code][/code]

so, just delete all the code in
sub MainButtonOptions { ?
Does that include deleting sub MainButtonOptions { itself?

I guess you could delete everything in between:

or these codes as well. I just didn't choose that route in case you decide in the future that you want to use it.

ok, ill try it out.
