Disable Who's Online?

(1/2) > >>

Cheese Head:
OK sadly my forum  is not very popular, only 12 Users to date and 1/2 of those have never posted anything.

That said on the bottom Users Online bar it has shown up to 8 Guests, so lots of people looking.

I think many Guests don't sign up and post as other people will see them, kind of weird pschychology.

Is there a way to shut off that users Online bar and also the Calendar? I've tried Admin > Config > Features & Options > Layout > & unticked Enable who's online list but it's still visible!

Thanks . . .

aldo:
When you untick Enable who's online list it doesn't remove that list from the bottom of the forum, it just makes it so you can't view YOUR_FORUM_URL/index.php?action=who

If you would want to actually remove that part from the forum it would require you editing the BoardIndex.template.php of that theme ;)

Cheese Head:
Thanks aldo, had a look at that file and it's too much for me to edit at this stage of my programming, unless you have a quick trick, thanks anyway.

peterinwa:
I could have written Cheese Head's post myself. For the same reasons, it would be great if I could switch off the Users Online feature.

In fact, I'd like to switch off the whole Info Center.

Thanks Aldo for your reply. Perhaps sometime that will be added in the future.

Now that is really easy, even if you're not very confident editing php files. You could just edit BoardIndex.template.php in your default theme, but that would be bad practice, so start by creating a new one:

Admin -> Themes and Layout -> Manage and Install -> Install a New Theme -> Create a copy of Default named

When you've created your new theme, copy BoardIndex.template.php from themes\default to it. Then remove the line:

template_info_center();
