Good mod idea.

That sounds pretty good. It does something similar to a code you can execute on SMFForFree forums.

You can also just go into the Sources/subs.php and remove this

),
'help' => array(
'title' => $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),

I personally dont like many mods siting on my package page.

Or, since youre only removing the button and anyone can still navigate to it via url, changing one line of code instead of removing it all, will do exactly the same thing but make it visible still for the admin incase they're modifying the template(s) or whatever. Mines an FAQ page for example.
$context['allow_admin']. Then just change it back to true if ever you need it.
Nice mod mate :)
Global permission will make it more flexible ;)

Can ya help me out here man? I wanna remove the help button but I have tinypoertal running and there are some extra lines. If I replace it all, my forum crashes. How can I do this? Here is what my help button sub looks like.

),
         'help' => array(
            'title' => $txt['help'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
               'tphelp' => array(
                  'title' => 'TinyPortal',
                  'href' => $scripturl . '?action=tpmod;sa=help',
                  'show' => true,
               ),

It should look something like this, so remove it all

         'help' => array(
            'title' => $txt['help'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
               'tphelp' => array(
                  'title' => 'TinyPortal',
                  'href' => $scripturl . '?action=tpmod;sa=help',
                  'show' => true,
               ),
           ),
        ),

That will remove the links to both help sections.
If you still have issues, please attach your subs.php and somebody will remove it for you.

Oh I'm so sorry, I got this fixed already. Usually I'm pretty good about updating. Thanks though.

lol No problem buddy, glad you got it sorted :)

If you parse the mod you will see, its does exactly that.

I just created a mod which does this too and more, its called "Add or Remove Buttons", gives you an admin panel to disable several buttons as needed

Hi Admin,

I have got a mod sitting in help menu, so i coded it like this and try to install according to my forum code.


<operation>
<search position="replace"> ),
'help' => array(
'title' => '<img align="absMiddle" src="'. $settings['images_url']. '/menu_icons/help.png" alt="'.$txt['help']. '"/>&nbsp; ' . $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),</search>
<add> // This is where help use to be!!!
</add>
</operation>


When i try to install, it is throwing me a error, when i checked what it was trying using the edit icon next to parse,


),
'help' => array(
'title' => '  ' . $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),


I could see it was not taking the image inside the tile url,


'title' => '<img align="absMiddle" src="'. $settings['images_url']. '/menu_icons/help.png" alt="'.$txt['help']. '"/>&nbsp; ' . $txt['help'],


Could you help me.

To be fair to code development and to maintain the integrity of the original install, any time you are presented with the "'show' => true," option, you needn't remove the relevant code block as this would render the entire feature unusable in the future.

With regards to the help button and the code to be altered as outlined above, simply change 'show' => true to 'show' => false. This will turn off the help button without damaging the code.

For anything else to be hidden that does not include the "show" option, adding css "display:hide;" to the html tag containing the contents to be hidden will serve that purpose, again without removing features that may hold future significance.

Cheers.  ;)

Hi will this be updated to 2.0.2?
