How do I remove the whole box containing "Hello, username"...?

Want to use UBB for easy update and publishing on a webpage. No need of new users registering or logging in.

And - how do I remove the Post new topic and Reply buttons at the top of the page? The ones below will be fine where they are.

Version 6.7, release.

well to remove the navbar the following should work (untested, I'm almost positive this is how it appears in the file)

in public_common.pl
find:
Code
$TBT
<tr bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">
<td valign="top" align="left">
<font size="$vars_style{FDTextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$left_navbar
</font>
</td>
<td valign="top" align="right">
<font size="$vars_style{FDTextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$right_navbar
</font>
</td>
</tr>
$TBB
Delete it.

In public_forum_page.pl
find:
Code
	before_buttons => qq~<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$new_topic_button $poll_link
</font>

~,
Delete it.

smile upload modified files and clear cache.


Keep in mind that this will also remove the bread crumbs (UBBDev.com » Design and Graphics » Forum Design Integration » Remove "Hello, username" etc, the whole box) which is one of the ways people navigate

Great, navbar removed, nice and smooth!

But what should i delete in public_topic_page.pl (is it the right file to modify?) to remove the "post new" and "reply" buttons on topic pages aswell?

And if i, theoretically, want to remove the bottom navigation bar aswell, how should I do?

The reason for me asking this is as follows: I´m helping a non-profit organization which helps straycats to a better life, finding homes for them. They are maybe ten people doing this without salary, and they need to communicate internally to keep track of where the cats are at the moment. In the streets, in a temporary home or some other place. AND they need a tool for all of them (with no technical skills) to update their "cat-ads" on their homepage.

I´m thinking of integrating a stripped UBB in a frame, for their ads, and letting them use the "full" forum functionality for their internal communication.

Thanks for all help, appreciate it!

So you're just wanting to display ad's? why not use the UBBNews script? I use it on www.undergroundnews.com and al uses it on www.alforadmin.com to relay news to our main pages (and his little portal)
