iain sherriff,

File: ../Sources/PortalBlocks.php

find:

Code: [Select]

if (allowedTo('pm_read'))
{
echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>', $txt['sp-usertmessage'], ':</strong> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $context['user']['messages'], '</a></li>
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>', $txt['sp-usernmessage'], ':</strong> ', $context['user']['unread_messages'], '</li>';
}

replace with:

Code: [Select]

/* if (allowedTo('pm_read'))
{
echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>', $txt['sp-usertmessage'], ':</strong> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $context['user']['messages'], '</a></li>
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>', $txt['sp-usernmessage'], ':</strong> ', $context['user']['unread_messages'], '</li>';
} */

Regards.

Open your Sources/PortalBlocks.php and remove:

Code: [Select]

if (allowedTo('pm_read'))
{
echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>', $txt['sp-usertmessage'], ':</strong> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $context['user']['messages'], '</a></li>
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>', $txt['sp-usernmessage'], ':</strong> ', $context['user']['unread_messages'], '</li>';
}This should do what you want :) Please backup your files before editing them, I haven't tested this edit, even if I am pretty sure it will work.
Regards

EDIT: ninja'd :( had this page opened for hours and replied when I found some time :/

Chen............I see what you did there. The number of times I have wanted to do that as a test instead of removing the code  :-[

Very usefull for the future  ;D

Yes, he commented out the lines :) You can do it like this:

Code: [Select]

/* code to be left out goes here */
FYI it works in .css files as well.

That is going to save me so much time.......I knew about "commenting out" (is that right) but never got a handle on what it was

It can be done also like this:

Code: [Select]

// commented out code
Non commented out code (new line)But the first method is much better because it doesn't depend on lines and it also works in .css files, this method does NOT work in .css files instead.

Could also set allowedTo('pm') to false the line above it, though commenting/removing works just as good.
