Greetings,

I’m trying to create as stripped-down a version of the CP as possible for some users and I’m wondering if there’s a way to remove some of the quicklinks, like specifically to the User Guide?

What version and build are you using? Have you tried clicking the little “edit links” button up there in your control panel?

Greetings,

Just getting back to this issue…. so I’m running 1.69 on this site. I want to remove access to “my account” but don’t see how to do that; also, I don’t see any “edit links” button—maybe that’s in 2.1? Anyway, I don’t want them accessing the User Guide, etc. and would just like to strip things down.

Thanks!

strudel,

I don’t see any “edit links” button—maybe that’s in 2.1?

In EE1.x its the top most menu and is preceded with a pencil/link icon. The icon is what you need to click.
This is per member though. So to configure for your client you need to login as them. You can also reach them via your Account menu

I don’t want them accessing the User Guide

What I do is simply goto my General Configuration and replace the link in URL to Documentation Directory with my control panel URL. Its a workaround but effective

There are a few extensions available that also may help here and here

Train-ee also has a good screen-cast available called Prepping an EE Site for Client Access

Thanks so much for these links!

As a follow-up, I’m wondering if there is a way to edit the HTML formatting buttons that are not listed in default set: namely, “Link” and “Email”. By edit, I’m wondering how I can change the wording on the label, for example.

Unfortunately I’m not aware of a way to edit them directly without going to the source, as it were.

Thanks, not a problem—just checking.

And while I’m checking, I’m trying to do away with the “Close all” button—I added the line:

$config['remove_close_all_button'] = 'y';

...to my config.php file as recommended, but the “close all” button remains. Is there something I need to do to get it to take effect?

Hi, strudel. In EE1.x, you use $conf instead of $config. See if that makes a difference for you.

Thanks! That does it.

Glad to see that helped. Post again as needed, please.
