how to remove "FB Recommendations" from sidebar?

erich37

Well-known member
I have disabled FB-Login and also removed all the Facebook-stuff from my XF-Forum, but there is still the "FB Recommendations"-block (including the greencolored FB-Login button) showing in the sidebar when being at the page named "Recent Activities" at the Forum.

How do I remove this block as well from my Forum?


Appreciate your help!
 
thanks Chris!

well, I actually do not want to remove the "Facebook Like / Recommend" feature at the bottom of each thread, where it says "Share this Page".

I just would like to remove the block "Facebook Recommendations" from the sidebar when at "Recent Activities", because there is this green-colored FB-button which says "Sign up" and this button is seemingly confusing my users.....
 
Sorry, I missed your message.

The option you're looking for is at Options > Facebook Integration.

Then you just uncheck the box Enable Facebook Registered Friends Feature

That would still remove the Facebook Likes from threads.....

In order to remove it just form the sidebar, but keep the "share this page" feature at the end of all your threads

sidebar_share_page

PHP:
				<xen:if is="{$xenOptions.facebookLike}">
					<div class="facebookLike shareControl">
						<xen:container var="$facebookSdk">1</xen:container>
						<fb:like href="{$url}" layout="button_count" action="{$xenOptions.facebookLikeAction}" font="trebuchet ms" colorscheme="@fbColorScheme"></fb:like>
					</div>
				</xen:if>

That is the code you want to remove (or comment out)

The OP is talking about this block in the sidebar which you can see on the Recent Activity page:

It can be turned off with the option I posted (which is below the option to turn off Like/Recommend button).
 
I'm aware of this, but....

Which if you read his post, he doesn't want to do.

I'm well aware of that. But I haven't instructed him to turn that option off.

I instructed him to turn off Enable Facebook Registered Friends Feature.

I haven't instructed him to turn off Enable Facebook Like / Recommend Feature.

EDIT: Although, turning the option I mentioned doesn't do what he asked anyway, it does something else. But yeah, you still didn't get what I was saying, even if what I was saying was wrong :p

No worries... I think we both got lost in translation.

XenForo is the only community I know where people a jumping over one another to help other people.

What he did ask for.... There is no "option" to do. So you have to make 2 template edits (technically 1, but 2 overall)

Where is that code located? Or am I missing something? :p
 
I can't seem to get the FB button on my sidebar even though it is enabled in cp admin Options. I'm thinking I may have disabled it for the side bar. How would I check for that or how do I get the button on the home page sidebar? Thanks!
