Forum Display Enhancements - Whats New - Remove safely

This will remove the "What's New" navigation tab

Safely

• No 3nd party modification conflicts
• No products to import
• No added database query
• No CSS issues
• Easy to carry over in upgrade

Tested on 4.1.7 , 4.1.8, and 4.1.9 beta 1
Tested on default template and custom templates

Why would you want to remove, "What's New?"

• Save server load
• Save page load
• Improve the layout for a more cleaner look
• Make room on the navigation tab for other modifications
• Maybe you found a modification that does the same thing, but in a different way

Step 1

Backup your database
------- Something everyone should do no matter what mod, template, or tweak you ever add.


Step 2


In navbar look for the following

<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

You are going to wrap it around using this:

<vb:comment>  </vb:comment>

So when done it will look like this:

<vb:comment> <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li> </vb:comment>

Step 3


Look for

<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

You are again going to wrap it around with this

<vb:comment>  </vb:comment>

So when done it will look like this:

<vb:comment> <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li> </vb:comment>

Save and reload


In another browser tab or window, check out the results.
If all is well as it should be.... Congratulation you are done

Please make installed

Wouldnt it be great if VB actually gave you the option to have the what's new tab or not have it. BTW, tried this on 4.1.12 and it did not work.

[merk_aus]

Thanks for that I really appreciate your time in writing it up.

I have 4.1.12 also and this worked for me.

I already did this on my forum, and this is the exact same way I did it.

Its good to see people post little How-To's like this. Honestly, I think its the little things like this, that matter the most when your editing/adding things to a style.

No longer supported as I no longer use vBulletin having moved to both WoltLab Burning Board and Invision Power Board.

I give 100% permission to reuse, modify, improve, enhance, and redistribute this code as freeware to anyone, everyone, and everywhere.

Good luck
