Remove Concrete5 News reference on dashboard
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi all
I have edited concrete – single_pages – dashboard – view.php to remove mention of concrete5 in the dashboard. I commented out the section as shown below. I think this should have removed the reference on the attached image - but it seems not. I can't seem to find a references to "News – Learn about your site and concrete5." in any other view.php. Can anyone help me find where another reference might be or understand why commenting out the code below had no affect?
Thanks.

<div class="ccm-pane-footer"> <?php $newsPage = Page::getByPath('/dashboard/news'); $newsPageP = new Permissions($newsPage); if ($newsPageP->canRead()) { ?> <!-- <div><a href="< ?php echo Loader::helper('navigation')->getLinkToCollection($newsPage, false, true)?>"><strong>< ?php echo t('News')?></strong></a> - < ?php echo t('Learn about your site and concrete5.')?></div> --> <?php }
If you look up 'Whitelabelling' (and variations) in the docs and howtos, there are many built in options for removing such references without having to hack the core.
Thank you John
I had already set many attributes. See the snippet below.
However - even with those entries - when I roll over "Dashboard" the NEWS link and verbiage still appear: "News – Learn about your site and concrete5."

You can remove it by setting permissions for the page on an individual basis.
I normally set myself up as an admin, then make a separate user group called Site Editors.
If you go to the sitemap and "show system pages", scroll down to the dashboard section, expand it all out, and set the view permissions for your user group (client - or Site Editors)for each page.
In particular, you change the permissions for these pages: (set so the user group can't view)
+ Dashboard
- Dashboard
+ Extend Concrete5
You may also want to restrict their viewing of some system settings, or pages and themes also.
This is assuming you're using the latest Concrete5 (5.6.x)

That's not the answer to the question asked, boss. I am afraid, but that's a manipulated answer to the question above. Even I have the same problem, and I want to be able to delete :
1. News - Learn about your site and concrete5.
2. Extend concrete5 – Install or update packages.
and , I want it to be disabled for the main admin also, so the permissions settings won't work out the perfect solution for me.
So, is there a way for me (and all other users who want the same thing& are facing the same problems) , to permanently hide the above mentioned lines?
Well, I expect someone could help me out in this, and give a solution that I actually need, rather than giving their own suggestions based on personal ideas and belief.
PS: Please note that, I do not, at all intend to be rough or rude and my remarks are for the community members in general and not pointed to any individual, as such.
thanks a lot!!

Sheafferusa... I'm not sure what you're getting at here. People use the forums to find solutions, using ideas that others have utilised, to solve their problem. The original author of this post has marked my response as the best answer, because it solved his/her problem.
I'm not sure what you know what you want either...
You've said in line 2 that you want to 'delete' these things, in the next paragraph, you say you want to 'disable' these things. So which one is it? There is a big difference between disabling and deleting.
May I ask, is this a website for yourself, or for a client?
These aren't answers based on personal ideas and belief, they're answers that have come from consulting with other members of the concrete5 community in the past, and responding to functionality and usability across clients that come in to my studio on a daily basis.

@sheafferusa... Wow... perhaps if you posted a question instead of hijacking someone else's thread, you will get a more concise answer but I'll warn you that you will not get good answers just because you 'expect' them... you will get answers if you are grateful for the free advice offered by VOLUNTEERS here and respect those who are taking time away from paying clients to help you out.

I was at first a little frustrated by this because I simply wanted to delete these links in the dashboard theme with an override. However, after learning how permissions work in c5, this is the best solution in my opinion because it still gives a main admin (myself) access to these features. Thank you PatrickCassidy!
Note that if you're going to use this method (the only one I know of), you'll need to give the site editors group proper permissions to edit pages.
