Hiding some links from profile page

edited December 2011 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I'm using the Proxyconnect plugin to integrate vanilla in with my site's own user administration system. Because of this, I'd like to hide some of the links available on the user profile page in vanilla. For example, out of the links

Change my picture
Edit my thumbnail
Remove my picture
Edit My Account
Change My Password
My Preferences

I'd like to hide the last 3. How can this be done?

Thanks!

    Editing core files will lead to surprises after updates.

    you should better hide links with custom.css.

    e.g. display: none; to elements you don't want to see.

    OK -- thanks for the advice. I'll look into that!

    Keep in mind though that if you hide the links with CSS, then smart users will be able to unhide them (locally, i.e., on their end) and use them using Firefox's Firebug, Opera's DragonFly, Chrome's Developer Tools, etc.

    I agree dont hide stuff using css.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    You can probably write a plugin that hooks in ProfileController_Render_Before() and modifies the asset. Worth a try.
