How do I remove a button from the menu?

[Linea]

It works 50%. I can comment out some features from the SUB_MENU, e.g. "toprated" or "last commented". But I fail when I want to comment out the feature "my gallery" in the SYS_MENU. OK, ist's only a flaw, but I want to understand the system...

At the moment my theme.php looks like this:

I give it up. No chance to remove any of the links in the SYS_MENU. I tried the solution with the plugin, but I completely failed.

Upload and enable the final_extract plugin.

I extracted the zip file and upoaded it in the plugins folder. But what exactly do I have to do to ENABLE it??  I can't see any difference between the time before and after the upload.

[Joachim Müller]

when you need help on a plugin, reply to the thread that deals with it.

[Linea]

Didn't I do that? ;-)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

re-enable the items in sys_menu so we don't get template errors; we will strip the login and home links with a plugin

I don't mind whether we solve my problem with or without a plugin. I am not interested in HOW to do it, I am interested in THAT we do it. I would be very glad to find a quite simple solution for that!

[donnoman]

once you dump the plugin into the plugins directory you need to actually turn it on.

Open up your config, one of the uptions is "plugin manager" on the right side.

Find the plugin you want to turn on in the plugin manager and click the "I" for install.

That should do it.

[Linea]

It works! It really works!! Jippieh!!! Wow, that was not an easy thing to do, but finally we got it! 

Thank you very very much for your help, donnoman! 

[Paver]

Here's a thread for the final_extract plugin:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=26893.0.

Please ask questions that only deal with the plugin on that thread.

[biker-boy]

OK FIXED IT ... Sorry I didn't install the plug in.   HA HA .. only wasted 4 days on this  lol

Removing top menu buttons doens't work for me.
I've read this whole thread about 5 times. I've downloaded and installed the lasted version of CPG.
I've now use the sample theme file in my new bikernight theme, just so I don't miss anything out.
I've also enabled plugins and uploaded the file you suggest adding in to it :

function final_extract_page_html($html)
{   
    //repeat the next line for each block you would like removed
   final_extract_block($html, 'home');
        final_extract_block($html, 'my_gallery');
   final_extract_block($html, 'allow_memberlist');
   final_extract_block($html, 'my_profile');
   final_extract_block($html, 'enter_admin_mode');
   final_extract_block($html, 'leave_admin_mode');
   final_extract_block($html, 'register');
   final_extract_block($html, 'album_list');
   final_extract_block($html, 'lastup');
   final_extract_block($html, 'lastcom');
   final_extract_block($html, 'topn');
   final_extract_block($html, 'toprated');
   final_extract_block($html, 'favpics');
   final_extract_block($html, 'search');

      return $html;
}

but NO matter what I do .. I can't remove the  "My Favorites" or "Search link" at the top of each page.
What can it be!  I'm at about to lose the only bit of hair I've left. lol
Please help
ta Matt

[Paver]

A link to your site would be useful.  My guess is that your "My Favorites" and "Search" links are not marked correctly with the block tags 'favpics' and 'search' respectively.  The Coppermine default themes should have these links marked correctly. 

So take a look at your theme.php to see how those 2 links are rendered.  You can paste those lines here if you need assistance.  Final_extract only works when the block is marked by the <!-- BEGIN block --> and <!-- END block --> tags.

[nontekkyguy]

I'm using "fruity" theme and I don't want the "MyFavorites" button to appear. I've tried to use the final_extract plugin but that doesn't work. I've also tried to understand the responses above, but I can't seem to find the files mentioned. I've checked my directories for the theme.php file within the themes folder for Fruity. I did however, find theme.inc.php.  Can anyone offer some advice?

This is what I find in theme.php within the fruity theme folder:

Editing this file was if I remember, not suggested, but still this is how I pulled it off.

[Joachim Müller]

you mustn't edit include/themes.inc.php, under no circumstances. Undo your changes there. Instead, edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php in a similar manner.

I get this error message:
