how do i remove Activity from header

and change Discussions to Categories . and rename the title (Categories) to Forum.

You can hide anything by finding out it's css id or class and style it with a display:none.
For v2.0.18.8 it would be ul#Menu > li.Activity {display: none;}

For renaming discussions, there are quite a few discussions already: https://www.google.be/?gws_rd=cr#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=892391153152ab87&q=site:vanillaforums.org+rename+discussions&safe=off

Personally, I still like to see activity, so what I do is in my template, I will set to only those with moderation ability being able to see it, like so:

$this->Menu->AddLink('Activity', T('Activity'), '/activity', array('Garden.Moderation.Manage'));

@adriansonline
thx but which specific file shud i add this code,i donno know where shud i add it.

Shadowdare

You would add the code in a file called class.mythemethemehooks.php in your theme like this:

class.mythemethemehooks.php

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

class mythemeThemeHooks implements Gdn_IPlugin {
   public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
      if($Sender->Menu && $Sender->MasterView != 'admin') {
         $Sender->Menu->AddLink('Activity', T('Activity'), '/activity', array('Garden.Moderation.Manage'));
      }
   }
}

Make sure you clear your cache files after creating the file.

vrijvlinder

you can use this to add css to any number of children, except stepchildren lol

li:nth-child(2) > a
li:nth-child(3) > a
li:nth-child(4) > a

etc

jeongwee

@vrijvlinder its too useful for me thx

vrijvlinder

you know you should add a translate this button to your site so those of us who can't read chinese very good can see it in english? look nice though

jeongwee

@vrijvlinder where shud i add the code to show it?the site didnt tell me=.=

vrijvlinder

Not sure what you want to change but this would be css but you can also use js.

I would first try it with css assuming it is the menu :

#Menu ul li:nth-child(2) > a{
display:none;
}

jeongwee

@vrijvlinder i mean the translate code....

vrijvlinder

oh you mean the button ?

You would put it in the default.master.php or tpl . I put mine on the panel before the search div.

If you use a tpl type master for your theme, then add the script in between {literal} <script></script>{/literal} tags

jeongwee

@vrijvlinder im on default theme ,and rewrite is it a tpl type master?

jeongwee

@vrijvlinder i searched but i cant find default.master.php .normaly where the file located?

vrijvlinder

the default theme does not have one ?

It is in the views folder of the theme. It should be anyway .... That is why you do not edit the default theme , you make a new theme...

jeongwee

@vrijvlinder

i had my theme alrdy, i copyed default theme and rename it to mytheme and put my custom.css and views file into it

.

theres no default.master.php under default or mytheme file...

.

Shadowdare

You have to copy /applications/dashboard/views/default.master.tpl to /themes/mytheme/views/ folder.

jeongwee

@Shadowdare thx
@vrijvlinder i put translte button it to my site alrdy.
