Is there a way to remove certain buttons?

[CheeseHead05]

I want to know if I can remove these buttons:

NOTIFY
MARK UNREAD
SEND THIS TOPIC
PRINT

Notify & send this topic - You can disable it in the permissions.

Print - Check this mod, http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2293.

Mark Unread - You can remove the button by removing the related lines in "display.template.php".

Specifically...

To get rid of the "Notify" button (And piss some of your members off, I'd suspect), remove this line, from Display.template.php (Default theme).

Code Select Expand

'notify' => array('test' => 'can_mark_notify', 'text' => $context['is_marked_notify'] ? 'unnotify' : 'notify', 'image' => ($context['is_marked_notify'] ? 'un' : '') . 'notify.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'onclick="return confirm(\'' . ($context['is_marked_notify'] ? $txt['notification_disable_topic'] : $txt['notification_enable_topic']) . '\');"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=notify;sa=' . ($context['is_marked_notify'] ? 'off' : 'on') . ';topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';' . $context['session_var'] . '=' . $context['session_id']),

"Mark unread", is the next line:

Code Select Expand

'mark_unread' => array('test' => 'can_mark_unread', 'text' => 'mark_unread', 'image' => 'markunread.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=markasread;sa=topic;t=' . $context['mark_unread_time'] . ';topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';' . $context['session_var'] . '=' . $context['session_id']),

"Send topic" is,  you guessed it, the line after that:

Code Select Expand

'send' => array('test' => 'can_send_topic', 'text' => 'send_topic', 'image' => 'sendtopic.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=emailuser;sa=sendtopic;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),

And, as you must have guessed, by now, "Print" is the line after that:

Code Select Expand

'print' => array('text' => 'print', 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),


As an aside, removing the "Print" button won't prevent anyone from printing-off a page, if they want to. They'll just use their browser's menu, to do that.

K@,

What is the purpose of "notify"? who am I notifying? and lol at ur print comment....

[kat]

"Notify" is what they click, if they want a notification of replies to the topic...

[ARG01]

"Notify" is what they click, if they want a notification of replies to the topic...

Which there are specific settings in your profile to control that as well.

[kat]

Of course!

Some find the "Notify" button easier, though.

Me, for one.

[ARG01]

I prefer the Notify button as well. This way I am being notified only for the topics that I deem worthy.  If the OP removes his Notify button, he may receive flack from some members.

[kat]

Prezactly.

[CheeseHead05]

ohhhhh! Guess I will leave the notify button then...

Whats the purpose of the "mark unread" button?

[kat]

I would think it's just for people who have read things, to flag it back as being unread, for some reason.

In other words... I really have no idea!

The wiki wasn't terribly useful, either.

K@,

what about the code for "mark read'..I wish to delete that too.

[kat]

It's in the list I gave you, above.
