Anyone know if there’s a way to do this? I’ve searched through the forums, and though I’m sure it’s probably in a post somewhere, I haven’t found anything.

Any ideas?

I did a search for “remove file upload button” and got to this: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/37840/

Yea, I found that extension too, but as far as I can tell, it doesn’t let you remove the File Upload Button, merely put a label beside it unfortunately.

I just installed it, followed the instructions and removed the upload button. It was very straight forward.

Publish: Text for upload button. (Try “Upload File: “; leave blank to hide button.)

BTW Thanks for this post, I’d not have found this extension without reading your question 😊

Ahh thanks. I misunderstood this line in the documentation so didn’t install it.

  * I didn’t make the File Upload box itself disappear for two reasons. 1) It would have looked unbalanced, and 2) it was too hard.

Thanks for your help. I’ve now installed the extension and taken out all the buttons other than the save button. The whole page is a lot clearer now.

I’ve been very impressed at how easy it’s been to make the EE admin side clean for end-users and I’d say EE 2 will be even better.

let’s hope 😊

Anyone know if there’s a way to do this?

The simplest and least intrusive way to remove the “Upload File” button in the Control Panel Publish page is with CSS. Assuming you’re using the “Default” control panel theme…

1) Open the following file in a text editor (if you’re on a Mac, get Coda!):

path_to_your_ee_site/themes/cp_themes/default/default.css

2) Scroll to the very bottom of that (very long) file, and add this:

div.uploadBox a { /* hide the stock file upload button */
    display: none;
}

3) Yes, you will have to make a note of this for the next time you upgrade EE. But you’d have to make a note of anything you did to get rid of this button.

4) Unfortunately, this method can’t be used to get rid of the Quick Save button on the Publish page (at least in 1.6.4) because that button does not have a unique class applied to it. The three input buttons of the form (Preview, Quick Save, Submit) are all styled identically, so a similar CSS selector would hide all three of them.

Does anyone know of a way to disable the button for some Weblogs and not others? I have one particular weblog that needs this functionality, but the rest shouldn’t have it.

Wes, I think the only real way to do that would be to disable the upload box globally and then enable the File extension on a per-weblog basis.

If you do find a way though, let me know - would be a great feature.
