Merged Hide / Disable login

Hi Jiminimonka,

Thanks for your reply.

Yeah, I saw that and I played around with the options but what I found was that the categories would vanish but the login area would not (though it would be disabled). I'm clearly missing something.

Anyway, here's my configuration set-up should it help to solve this.

Thanks,
Dom

Hi,

Thanks, that removed the login fields although I'm still seeing the user avatar and "Welcome/Last Visit/Private Messages" part of the grey box. I had hoped to remove the grey box altogether.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Dom

Where is this issue occurring - I cannot see it.

Your Joomla menu is confusing. I suggest you simplify things. Watch the video in The Kunena Menu to see how to re-create a standard Kunena menu. I hope that helps.

Thanks for getting back to me.

There seemed to be some sort of problem with the Kunena menu after I renamed it in the main menu. As a result, I lost the usual Kunena menu links (Index, Recent Topics, etc.).

I tried to fix this by following the instructions in the video you mentioned, but they vanished again.

I discovered that it was possible to retrieve them if I saved the forum in the main menu as an external link. Odd, but it worked.

The Kunena menu items are now back.

I was also able to change the width of the Joomla template using the mjindustry's instructions in the following link: www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=39...ic&start=165#p805750

I'm also including his instructions below for easier use:-

I have just tested this step by step and it works for me on rt_tachyon_j16

Download the attached zip file. Unzip it and then upload the file - mywidth.php - to your features directory in the template. For most people this will be via ftp to /public_html/your.domain/templates/rt_tachyon_j16/features

Now open the /templates/rt_tachyon_j16/template-options.xml file and look for the code at line 117....

Code:

<fieldset name="features" label="FEATURES"> <field name="viewswitcher-priority" type="hidden" default="1"/> <field name="logo-priority" type="hidden" default="2"/> <field name="copyright-priority" type="hidden" default="3"/> <field name="styledeclaration-priority" type="hidden" default="4"/>

...and insert this code...

Code:

<field name="dyngrid" default="60" type="text" class="text-short" label="mywidth"/>

...so the file should now look like this...

Code:

<fieldset name="features" label="FEATURES"> <field name="dyngrid" default="60" type="text" class="text-short" label="mywidth"/> <field name="viewswitcher-priority" type="hidden" default="1"/> <field name="logo-priority" type="hidden" default="2"/> <field name="copyright-priority" type="hidden" default="3"/> <field name="styledeclaration-priority" type="hidden" default="4"/>

Please note that the default is set to 60px, which is the same setting as the current template. Upload the amended file to replace the original.

Now go to Joomla admin and select the rt_tachyon_j16 template and go to template admin. In the features tab you should now have an option called mywidth and it should be displaying the 60 width.

Just change the width to suit your needs and then apply. Remember that there are 12 columns so if you set the column width to 100 then you will deliver a screen width of 1200px.

Hope this helps

It worked exactly as described for me. I found that 64px did the trick. You can see the result here: www.steinerparents.com/forum/index

I have attached the required file, mywidth.zip.

Thanks,
Dom

Thanks for the instructions

Good morning,

I am using joomla 2.5 and the latest version of Kunena forums. I would like to hide the login/register area beacuse I am having memebrs login via facebook, twitter, linkdin and google, instead of creating a user name and pw. I do not want to keep anyones PW information for security reasons so I need to know how I can hide that login area on the homepage of the forums. I need to get this done asap so if anyone knows how it can be done i would appreciate it.

I do not want to remove the login completely because I still do not want guest posting with out registering via social networks. Hope that makes sense

Thanks
