Disabling Profile and signout buttons

I am using the API to re-create the profile pages elsewhere on the site (I don't want 2 profile edit pages) and so I want to remove the profile button form the main forum page.

Also, there will never be a time the user is signed out of the forum, since I have integrated the sing in with the main site, so I want to remove the signup buttons as well.

The trouble is, I cannot find the code for these 2 buttons ANYWHERE.

Can someone help me disable these 2 buttons?

    Following the above steps You should beable to get the same resaults I did which would be removing the option to register/edit profile/signout from your forum

    I followed these steps to complete the same idea you have on your forum.
  • well.. I will take a look at this as soon as I can recover from the Bonk page that has now suddenly taken over my life. sigh.
  • @SocialInteract you can add or uncomment the following line in your config.php file:

    $Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php';

    that will give you the error so you can correct/find out why your being BONK'd :P
  • What about with the embdtheme this doesn't exist.
  • If you're using the EmbedFriendly theme you can edit views/default.master.tpl and remove {signinout_link}.
