Social Manager template

[jok3r]

Hello all!

I am using the plug-in social manager and wondering if this can be replaced with a Template so forum runs smoother. Explaining my needs:

• Remove Social Websites
• Remove Instant Messengers
• completely remove "Social" tab out of profiles
  
  
  

Can this be done?



Thanks in advance!

Removing social websites could be done by removing those variables from the layout templates. Same for removing instant messengers. For "social" tab, do you mean the one in Edit Profile? I don't think that can be edited, maybe by JavaScript, but if you remove the variables from the layout template like I mentioned then even if they filled out social fields it wouldn't show up anywhere. If you'd like me to remove them from the layout templates, then go to Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile and copy/paste that code here and then Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > User Profile > Summary copy/paste that code here as well.

Thank you ? ??ƒ ? for your reply!

Yes i also want the Social tab completely removed from edit profile. One of the reasons is to keep things more simple.



The Plug-In also removes that one. If it can't be completely removed by a template then i think keeping the plugin will be my personal solution.

jok3r, the tabs are generated by a foreach loop that just runs through the list of menu items, so to remove it you'll need an if statement. In your Edit Profile template you should see this code:

{foreach $[menu]}
<li{if $[menu.active]} class="ui-active"{/if}><a href="$[menu.href]">$[menu.text]</a></li>
{/foreach}
Using this instead should ensure the Social tab does not appear.

{foreach $[menu]}
{if $[menu.text] == "Social"}{else}
<li{if $[menu.active]} class="ui-active"{/if}><a href="$[menu.href]">$[menu.text]</a></li>
{/if}
{/foreach}

Keep in mind that while users won't be able to access the section via this button, they will still be able to by going to YOURFORUMURL.proboards.com/user/THEIR-USER-ID/social - pretty sure the plugin disables the section even when visiting the URL directly, and this can't be done via template modification.
