XF 1.3 Remove Resources Tab

[iguanairs]

I want to remove the resources tab completely. I have no use for the tab itself in the manner I am using the software. I ran some searches on this site and on google but came up empty. This shouldn't be difficult but it is eluding me. (I went through templates looking as well.)

The tab is added programmatically. You can detect it in the $extraTabs.middle variable in the navigation template. I'd probably just look at hiding it with CSS, though that may trigger other oddities.

 

[iguanairs]

I attempted to do that with the following css:

.navTabs .navTab.resources.PopupClosed { display: none }

That didn't work though. My opinion on this is that there should be nothing that is hard coded programatically like this.

Edit the following file:

library/XenResources/Listener/Template.php

(default code)

	public static function navigationTabs(&$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
	{
		if (XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->hasPermission('resource', 'view'))
		{
			$extraTabs['resources'] = array(
				'title' => new XenForo_Phrase('resources'),
				'href' => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('full:resources'),
				'position' => 'middle',
				'linksTemplate' => 'resources_tab_links'
			);
		}
	}

(edited code)

	public static function navigationTabs(&$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
	{
		if (XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->hasPermission('resource', 'view'))
		{
			//$extraTabs['resources'] = array(
				//'title' => new XenForo_Phrase('resources'),
				//'href' => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('full:resources'),
				//'position' => 'middle',
				//'linksTemplate' => 'resources_tab_links'
			//);
		}
	}

Thank you Andy!

.navTabs .publicTabs .navTab.resources {
    display: none;
}

works fine for me..?

I apologise for bumping an old thread, but I just done what @AndyB wrote and all it done was remove the resources tab from the navbar. If someone knows the URL, they can still access the resources section, can't they not?

Correct, the template edit will only remove the tab from the navbar and direct URL access is still possible.

I assume you only want to allow access to the Resources Manager to certain user groups and want to prevent direct access to those not in the authorized user group?

I'd rather remove the whole resources section entirely from all groups (and if possible, the forum (even the URL ) if possible) as it will never be used.

Are you using anything that is a part of the resource manager? If not then why not just disable or uninstall the addon.

Oh, I mis-understood what that addon was... I thought it was to monitor how much resources Xenforo was using.. Thanks for telling me about that!

 

[rainmotorsports]

Oh, I mis-understood what that addon was... I thought it was to monitor how much resources Xenforo was using.. I'll try that now.

If you don't want it at all you can just uninstall it. But a simple unchecking in the admin control panel will make it disappear temporarily.

Yeah, have just done that now. Thanks again.

Also thanks to @AndyB for the code to remove the resources tab.

Seems an odd thing to have purchased the Resources Manager and then not want to use it...

 

[iguanairs]

I was thinking the same thing Martok.

Yes, this seems overly hacky to take control of. Even just hiding the tab from, say, unregistered users, requires CSS and template modifications. Has anyone found a nice way of doing it?

 

[Mike]

The tab is permission controlled already. This thread was related to removing it despite having permission.

 

[Mart]

Thank you for the correction! I feel a fool.

 

[anvar]

almost.... !!!, im sorry already fixed.

You have edited the file incorrectly.

I would never recommend editing files in this manner as any changes will be overwritten when you upgrade.
