I’ve been searching for how to remove the “Bulletin Board” link from the left hand side of /member/messages/.

I can find the general input for “menuItem” however I can’t find the individual links that are generated like Bulletin Board, Inbox, Sent, etc.  I’m just looking to remove the link to Bulletin Board, and I’d rather not use an ugly Javascript hack.  Any help is appreciated!

In truth, I don’t see a good way to get rid of it w/out a hack.  Found where it’s generated in core.message.php:

$map = array('bulletin_board', 'compose_message', 'folders', 'edit_folders', 'buddy_list', 'block_list');

Hm- could hard code the whole menu- but then you lose the dynamic bits, such as the counts.  Hm- might make a good feature request to provide a way to customize the menu items.

We ended up deleting the text ‘bulletin_board’ =><br /> ””, from the language file, lang.messages.php

This didn’t remove the actual link, just dropped the text so the link isn’t accessible anymore.  I’m going to go back and delete it from the array you posted to actually remove the entire link.

I did consider hard coding the menu but ran into the same issues you found.  I hope that this system is made more a part of EE, wherein you can use weblog tags, modules, etc.  Would make my work a lot easier!

Thanks for the help Robin!

From what little we know of EE 2.0 at this point, there should be a lot more flexibility by using “accessories” in the future.
