Disabling links from the Administration section.

I may have missed it in my search, but is there a way to temporarily disable links from the admin section?

A friend’s site is temporarily down (he hosts it himself) and I’d like to disable his link, but not delete it. Is this possible?

Comment out line 170 of txplib_head.php (note the starting slashes):
//'<td class="tabdown"><a href="'.hu.'" class="plain" target="blank">'.gTxt('tab_view_site').'</a></td>',

Re: Disabling links from the Administration section.

Thanks for the tip, Mary, but that didn’t seem to change anything. Maybe I wasn’t looking in the right place.

However, I did manage to solve this one. I created a new link category called “Hidden.” It’s never referenced in any of my forms or pages, so the link never gets displayed, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Ah, the benefits of a good night’s sleep.

Okay, we were talking about two different things. Glad you got it working alone. :)

Ok. My curiousity’s now piqued. What was the above hack supposed to do?

Re: Disabling links from the Administration section.

I thought you meant temporarily hiding “view site”.

Re: Disabling links from the Administration section.

Ah…ok. That would explain why I didn’t see it. I generally keep my site in another tab or page, so I rarely even notice the “view site” tab.
