Remove News From dashboard drop down
Permalink
Hello,
I am tryig to remove the text that says "News – Learn about your site and concrete5" from the dashboard drop down.
I have removed it from the dashboard by changing the permissions of dashboard/dashboard in the sitemap, but it doesnt disappear from the drop dow.
Any guidance would be appreciated..?
(I have cleared the cache too).

Did you try disabling the news in site.php? It's part of the white label abilities, I'm not sure exactly how it effects the drop down, but would be worth a try:
Yes I have done, but unfortunately it doesn't do the trick...
The text is at line 370 of root/concrete/helpers/concrete/dashboard.php .
I tried removing line 370 and over-riding the core file by placing the altered dashboard.php into root/helpers/concrete/dashboard.php but the site crashed so it looks like the only way is to remove line 370 from the core file which is not recommended. The <li>... </li> at line 370 has no unique ID assigned to it so you can't hide it using css without altering the core file as well.
To help me find these types of needles in the C5 haystack, I find using AstroGrep very helpful. I have a C5 folder on my Windows desktop and AstroGrep lets my search all the files for specific text. Very fast and free.

If anyone else is looking for this, the solution is to add a page to favourites by clicking its star (top-right) then remove it again. That does the trick in 5.6 (possibly earlier).
