In ubb 7.7.4 even if I set cp access to 0 they still get a menu item that displays the control panel link. How do I block them completely from the control panel.

Moderators need access to the Control Panel in order to utilize the approve posts tool (and manage members if they have access); this is why they get a link to the Control Panel, otherwise you'd have to just edit it out.

Okay more details. It is the dashboard part that needs to be turned off if not easy to block the control panel The part that displays forum/server stats. The owner does not want any numbers showing for moderators. I mean the open/close board area is gone for mods . Is there a way to stop the display of all the other stats.

That is not a stock behavior or option; your client is welcome to modify the Control Panel to their hearts content, but modifications are not supported at UBBCentral and you may be asked to revert your changes when seeking official support.
The contents of the landing page in the Control Panel can be located in /admin/dashboard.php and /templates/default/admin/dashboard.tmpl

Looking at this, the open/close board line is using UBBPRINT which does not show for mods. What is the function of UBBPRINT in the scripts. What does it do? I assume it is just a placeholder like EOF in the islands. But what is it purpose. What type of coding can you post in between those tags.

Thanks i thought it was a heredoc. Just wanted to make sure Made the change easy. Just added the admin only statement for open/close forum to each item in the dashboard template required. I hated doing that but that is what was requested.

HA HA. That is why I posted here. He will be sorry when he forgets things like allow mods to process pending members was hidden and then I will forget what I did but oh well that is what he wanted.
Or the story will be the next update when it raises it's head again and he wants it gone. Again I will need to find it.
But to his defense he has had the board since classic and he knows what he wants it to do.

keep "customization notes" for each client, the same way we keep changelogs. it makes it easier to find what was changed and when. then review the notes when upgrading or troubleshooting for anything that your changes may break.
a good plan is to also submit these customization notes with your invoice to the client.

All of the information needed to modify the dashboard landing page is included in the above posts. Any changes to a stock system are not supported by any way by UBB systems.
Again there's no stock behavior to remove all of the data from the landing page and all of the data can be extrapolated from the main system just by looking at the total members and accounting of how many posts and topics are displayed on the category or form index pages.
Removing that block of links and data you may find your moderators unable to access the approved posts links as well as manage users that have the appropriate permission, this is especially true if one were to remove the links from the sidebar.
