Publishing Options - removing

Hello!

I would like to hide a few options within the write new post section of easyblog. First of all I want to hide the option of choosing what type of post users want to do. Just so its the standard post (I don't believe that this option really does anything anyway? Correct me if im wrong). Also, I would like to hide the permalink button and also the option for users to choose whether the post can be published or not (just so its always published). Then to finish it out get rid of the publishing options.

Sorry for the overload but Im trying to simplify the use of this so users don't get overwhelmed with all of these options.

Please see the attached picture for more information regarding my question.

Best Regards!

Gustav
Hello Gustav Belin,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Try apply this CSS code and see how it goes.


#ezblog-dashboard .permalink-editor, #ezblog-dashboard .permalink-editor strong {

	display: none;

}



#ezblog-dashboard .ui-sectionsep {

	display: none;

}



#eblog-wrapper .list-form.reset-ul{

	display: none;

}

Hello Gustav Belin,

Try apply this css hack in your template css file and see how it goes.
What this code done is disappear the permalink section and publishing option.



#ezblog-dashboard .permalink-editor, #ezblog-dashboard .permalink-editor strong {

	display: none;

}



#ezblog-dashboard .ui-sectionsep {

	display: none;

}



#eblog-wrapper .reset-ul, #eblog-wrapper .reset-ul > li {

	display: none;

}

Hello Gustav Belin,

You can apply the code here, but when you update to latest version of Easyblog in the future, then this CSS hack will be remove.

Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can advise you which file should be add in your template css file? Please advise.

Does this work?

'''You can actually remove it by editing the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/dashboard/system/dashboard.write.php . You need to remove the codes at line 665,''

<?php echo $this->fetch( 'dashboard.write.options.php' ); ?>

and line 669,

<?php if( $system->config->get( 'layout_dashboardseo' ) ){ ?>
<?php echo $this->fetch( 'dashboard.write.seo.php' ); ?>
<?php } ?>

Hello Gustav Belin,

Sorry for late reply to this,
That will not work is because all the creation date and other necessary data needed when you publish the blog post, if you removed those code, so it will not work when you publish the blog post in frontend.

So what i suggestion is using the CSS hack for disappear those option. Can i have your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you apply the code in your template css file?

You can put the information in the optional information field below. Don't worry about privacy. Only Support team can view the information.

Okay i see!

Actually i dont know if i can give my FTP access, but i am using vintage template for my easyblog. Is it possible to maybe put this css code in several places and see if something happens on my site then it is the right one. If you know what i mean.

Do you have any clue on where to put this css code?

Hello Gustav Belin,

Sorry for late reply to this,

I'm not recommended you apply this CSS hack in the Easyblog theme file, because when you update to next release version, then the hack will be removed.

Can I have your site access so I can inspect the element from your frontend? Please advise.

Hello Gustav Belin,

You're welcome, try apply above CSS code in this file

JoomlaFolder/templates/shaper_helix_ii/css/presets/preset1.css

After you applied then cleanup your Joomla cache and browser cache and see how it goes.
