MyBB Community Forums

Hi all, is there a way for me to disable the mybb credit link in the Admin page. I don't mind the credits themselves, I just don't want to be able to click on them and be taken to some blog.

Then don't click them

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to give your forums an opportunity to be used in a professional environment where other can be administrators also. I don't want to be embarrass when someone clicks on the link and is taken to a blog with curse words used by juveniles.

Let me know if I need to go to vBullentin?

Firstly, the only people who will see the links are the Admin (or any user who has Admin CP access).

Secondly, all the blogs are owned by members of the development team, who are mature individuals. I doubt very much you would find a blog with "juvenile curse words" in them...

Here is an example right off the mybb credit. Please, just tell me how to disable the link so I can get on with life.

You can disable those credit links of course; but I'm not sure whether the developers will like the idea of having their links removed, or whether I'm allowed to explain how, in their forum.

I fail to see how your life is somehow being lessened because a part of your website only accessible to Admin is linking to developers blogs which may contain the odd curse (I'd hardly call it juvenile either).

Like MrDoom said, you don't have to click them, so don't!

I am NOT talking about removing the credits. I want the developers to be recognized for their work, I just don't want other people who will administer the forum with me to be able to click on the link and taken somewhere that will embarrass me and the choice that I am making in regards to using mybb.

I have tried several boards already and mybb is certainly the best free alternative. But I will not be the only admin on the board that is being rolled out and I am not sure how some people, particularly older moderators, will respond when they are taken to a site that is immature.

So any help in this area will be greatly appreciated and will allow me to continue to enjoy mybb.

I still think it's a silly and pointless reason, but here we go:

Open up admin/index.php (assuming your admin directory is called "admin"):

FIND:

	// MyBB Credits
	starttable();
	tableheader($lang->mybb_credits);
	tablesubheader($lang->contributed);
	makelabelcode("<b>$lang->product_managers</b>", "<a href=\"http://www.surfionline.com\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Boulton</a>");
	makelabelcode("<b>$lang->developers</b>", "<a href=\"http://www.surfionline.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Boulton</a><br /><a href=\"http://mods.mybboard.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Musicalmidget</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.dennistt.net/\" target=\"_blank\">DennisTT</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.peterakkies.com\" target=\"_blank\">Peter</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.tiki.rct3x.net\" target=\"_blank\">Tikitiki</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.decswxaqz.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">decswxaqz</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.mcdcpp.net/blog/\" target=\"_blank\">CraKteR</a>");
	makelabelcode("<b>$lang->graphics_and_style</b>", "<a href=\"http://www.surfionline.com\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Boulton</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.templatesforall.com\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Hough</a>");
	endtable();

and replace with:

	// MyBB Credits
	starttable();
	tableheader($lang->mybb_credits);
	tablesubheader($lang->contributed);
	makelabelcode("<b>$lang->product_managers</b>", "Chris Boulton");
	makelabelcode("<b>$lang->developers</b>", "Chris Boulton<br />Musicalmidget<br />DennisTT<br />Peter<br />Tikitiki<br />decswxaqz<br />CraKteR");
	makelabelcode("<b>$lang->graphics_and_style</b>", "Chris Boulton<br />Scott Hough");
	endtable();

Ok, you do get it. Thanks
