Split/Merge remains

bingyang

Firstly, I enable the Split/Merge plugin. After that I don't want to use it anymore so disable it. But there are still stick box like this remains. Even I tried to remove the plugin. How can I remove the stick box?

I know for a fact that there's an option to remove the "Admin check boxes" in Vanilla 2.1 but I'm not sure whether or not that option is present in Vanilla 2.0 - try going to "Forum Settings" -> "Advanced" in your dashboard and see if you can find it.

Sadly, can't find it

It sounds more like it isn't disabled. Or it is a cached page.

bingyang

disabled already. clear cache also but the check boxs still remain

@bingyang you could delete the plugin /plugins/ folder completely see if that works

bingyang

@fr3333333x yes, deleted the plugin folder in cpanel also T^T

@bingyan yo know what i think? this might be the default checkbox you're seeing , see if it's the actual "split/merge" plugin, else this might be the default, in vanilla 2.0 you should see that checkboxes appearing when you're logged in as administrator or moderator of the site.

I had the same thing happen to me as well. Tried split/merge, didn't find it necessary and once disabled/deleted the checkboxes never went away. Installed a clean test forum and used a copy of my active forums database, and no checkboxes.

Split/Merge changes something to permanently add the checkboxes, and I haven't figured out yet how to remove them.

you guys using Vanilla 2.1 ?

@kasper's fix works. Just visit yourforum.com/vanilla/settings/advanced

uncheck the box "Enable admin checkboxes on discussions and comments."

bingyang

@fr3em1nd no, i'm using vanilla 2.0.18.4 so there is no option to uncheck "Enable admin checkboxes on discussions and comments." @hyndn

go to:
applications\Vanilla\Views\discussions
and copy:

helper_functions.php

to: themes\yourthemename\views\discussions\

open the copied:helper_functions.php
and go to line 37

and comment it out just like this:

//$Sender->CanEditDiscussions = GetValue('PermsDiscussionsEdit', CategoryModel::Categories($Discussion->CategoryID)) && C('Vanilla.AdminCheckboxes.Use');;

see if this works, i havnt tested it. but it's worth giving a try

else give me the link for your site so i can see.

No, it doesn't work.

(The same thing here too)

All I found -
conf/config.php

$Configuration['Vanilla']['AdminCheckboxes']['Use'] = TRUE;

• Have to be FALSE - and check-boxes are gone for now, have to test yet....

@RedZambala That did the trick, nice and easy.
