The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Whats New - Remove safely · **Released**: 12-08-2011

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

Code:

<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:

Code:

<vb:comment>  </vb:comment>

So when done it will look like this:

Code:

<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

Code:

<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

Code:

<vb:comment>  </vb:comment>

So when done it will look like this:

Code:

<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

I Like the What's New Button.

Removing it means 2 clicks to see what's new as opposed to one.

Then don't install it. Look how simple that was. I can never understand why people like you feel the need to post they don't need a mod. He posted it for people who DO want it.

Removed. Thanks!

It would be helpful for n00bs like me to know that the NavBar can be found here:

Go to AdminCP.
Click "Styles & Templates"
Click "Style Manager"
On your site's style select "Edit Templates"
Scroll down to "Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates" and *double-click* it.
Scroll down to it again and then find "navbar".
*double-click* it or single-click it and then click the "Edit" button.

Then use the "Search in template" box and put the entirety of the lines to find and then click "Find".

Then follow the directions above.

As far as needing the "What's New" button... I don't feel that this should be at the TOP of the site anyway.

I'll put a link to it somewhere else.

Again, THANKS!

Working

4.1.10

Notice: May need to be re-applied after upgrade.

How does one do the opposite? I want to add things to navbar. I have not found anything for the newer versions of vB. Thanks!

BTW, I did take out the Whats new.. Worked GREAT!

if you have TMS installed use this to do the the job for you

ensure you upload it to Mater Style not default, this will then apply to all other templates
