Hello everyone! I'm looking to make some changes to the My Space portion of the boards I'm setting up.

For audience specific reasons, I'd like to remove/supress various bits (Eve=>Permissions, Eve=>Groups, Eve=>Buddies) that are currently available for users.

And then, of course I also would like to allow all of the options to be available for admins.

I know I can just change the wordlet and remove the icon from the images, but that leaves a blank <td> that looks bad plus it doesnt allow for admins to use these features.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? Or tell me if its even possible?

Many thanks!

This is possible, but would require CSS and JavaScript. You would need to write some JavaScript code (and put it in the head of the page) to hide the menu elements you don't want shown (they have classes such as IP_PLATFORM_PROFILE_menu_link, IP_PLATFORM_BUDDIES_menu_link, etc) unless the user is an admin, in which case you would show them.

Note that this would not stop a user from accessing those features directly if they had the URL bookmarked or memorized.

Thanks for the quick reply Steven. I've already started working on exactly what you recommended. I appreciate your advice!

My pleasure! Let us know how it goes or if you hit any snafus.

Any chance of anyone putting a code snippit of that java/CSS to add in?

This will be possible with the release of 1.2. There are ID tags on each of the myspace navigation TRs. So for example, to hide the permissions link in the myspace area the code would be:

<style>
#eve_perms_link {display:none}
</style>
