Thank you so much! :up:

Works perfectly!

Works great thanks.

*installed* - thanks!

Oops, removes too much for me.

*uninstalled*

don't work for me in 4.0.2

Wery strange, cause if you look in the plugin it only removed the button from navbar..

Maybe explain what else it removes from your site ?

got a link to the site where it didnt work,
else your feedback is useless for me to work on, might check if ur using VBA or
another mod that might interfeer ?

Thank you so much, hours and hours and finally found the best solution !!!

Thank you !:D

It also removes the "Mark Forums Read" from Search.

I'm using this on my website (www.swtorholocron.com)

I just wanted to say thank you for this! I'm really surprised there isn't a default option to disable the "Whats New" link.

Thanks again!! :D

uhhh Swtor im looking forward to a release on this. ;)

Thanks for shareing sites, where used..

It removes whole navbar on search results :/

EDIT: Nvm, my mistake, mod works fine :)

I think you have a template issue, i am unable to replicate on several boards
or a dev board..

Attachment 116242

a few things more needed to be able to help ...
- got a link, error, log, screenshot or anything to might help debug why
this happens to you ?
- Does it also do that on a "blank" or "fresh" vb 4 template for you ?
im almost 95% sure its the style/template your using causing the problems.

Ah, sorry, my fault, everything works like a charm.

Thanks for the useful mod :)

awesome! thanks!

Perfect, this is exactly what I am looking for.

What is everyones major objection to the whats new button?

Brings up old data?

I'm curious about this too .. :)

At first i was gonna ignore this, (usually when i se a mod i dont understand, i just moveon)
And i dont want to be rude, but sure feel a troll comeing up..

But since you have plenty of room on your site..

Many sites have limited width and therefor also a limited space
for main buttons/links. And considering that it would be better
using the space for links suited for the specifik site..

Hence removeing the button.


IN SHORT
if you dont understand it, ITS NOT DESIGNED FOR YOU!! :cool:

Ahhhh ... thanks .. :up:

I thought it was something to do with broken functionality and not cosmetics .. :)

Appreciate the clarification and feedback ...

Regards,
Badger

thank you thank you thank you!

THANK YOU .... this worked perfectly. Tried several different pluggins and this was the best. Simple and does what it says.

Thank you. Worked with no problems.

Thank you for this.

Also, to keep the sub nav buttons under the Forum tab (even when on Search.php)


Go to the NAVBAR template...Search for:
and just below you will see:

Remove:
So you are left with

For me, it was wasted clicks and inconsistent design.

IMO, the navbar tabs show you what section you are in. If you are on the home tab it should be home pages...if you are on forum pages you should be on the forum tab. It is inconsistent to have 2 tabs for the forums. Also, there are different options available under whats new and forum so you have to click back and forth to get to the option you want.

For example if you click "new posts" it automatically takes you to the "what's new" tab but if you wanted to see who is online next you would have to click back to forum tab then who is online.

If you do the quick edit I posted above in combination with this authors mod then every page of the forum you will always be on the forum tab and always have the same navigation options.

It makes way more since, is more consistent and saves users clicks and frustration

Perfect. Many thanks.

Works like a charm , Vaupell :) you are awesome !!!!!!

you're the best , this solved the issue for me , Tnx

works great for me :D (4.1.0 PL2)

Thanks

Works great on 4.0.5. Dutch forum, no language edits this time :D

is there a way to remove manually from a custom design?

GREAT works perfect in 4.1.0 PL2

i hate this tab !

Work nice vb 4.0.8 thx

thanks man :)

Works perfectly! Thank you! :)

My objection to the What's New? is that it is showing posts that should be hidden. So a regular user can see posts that are in a forum that is limited to only administrators. I thought there would be some way to block that but I haven't seen it in looking around for a while. So this mod is good news for me.
