Merged How to delete the QUICK REPLY button in 2.0?

I have to assume this is answered somewhere, but I've been searching all day and hopefully someone can quickly just point me in the right direction. We find the Quick Reply button to be useless and redundant, so we'd like to delete it from the view for our purposes.

Where do I go to delete this? One of the template php files? If so, is there just one thing to delete? Or every reference? I don't want to break it.

Or maybe there is a more simple way?

It's a good question[strike] but, I'm sorry to disappoint you, there's no simple 5-second fix for it[/strike].

There is no configuration setting that enables or disables this functionality (in any version of Kunena) - and maybe that's something that should be asked as a Feature Request in a future version.

[strike]The Quick Reply button does not have a unique item name on which to hang a CSS "display: hide" rule and so you can't remove it with CSS either.

Therefore, the only way this can be done is by a custom hack to your Kunena PHP source code. Perhaps another member of the community may see this topic and advise you which file(s) you need to change and what you would need to to, remembering, also, that any changes you make to the Kunena PHP source code are done entirely at your own risk and without the benefit of continued support from this community in the event that you have problems. [/strike]Further, any changes that you make to Kunena PHP source code need to be re-applied when you upgrade (unless you are willing to spend an hour or two creating your own, custom, Kunena template).

EDIT: See improved answer below.

Hello,

Edit the file kunena.20-min.css in \components\com_kunena\template\blue_eagle\css\

Put this in new line: Try it

Ah, of course, thank you, gimenezadrian. It is possible to hide the Quick Reply button with CSS is one way to do it.

But, instead of directly editing and modifying the file kunena.20-min.css (because this file is also replaced when you upgrade Kunena and you will have to make the changes again and again and again), it would be better to make the changes to the end of your Joomla site template CSS file as we have always suggested that people should do in these cases and as we have written in the FAQs page .

Yes the change will work if you modify kunena.20-min.css but I would not recommend modifying minified CSS files directly.

Thanks for the correction sozzled, while the button is not visible will continue to exist. But is a quick trick.

This way also works:
