Removing Core Superuser menu items

[DigiBooks]

Hi

We are doing a lot of tidying up in our Admin section which includes removing unwanted menu items.

Now we know that we can create an Administrator level beneath the main Superuser and simply switch off certain menu items within the profile but there are certainly some menu options which we will NEVER use in our particular situation.

For instance: We will never use Banners so we therefore wish to delete all scripts that relate to Banner Management from the server entirely leaving us with only those scripts that we do use.

Because the SuperUser profile does not have the facility to check/uncheck any features we assume that there is some hard-coding somewhere that we just cannot locate!

Please can anyone advise where we should be looking?

Many thanks

Your easiest/quickest "path to success" would be to edit /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english.php (and/or any other base language-file). Each of the menu-headings are found in the definitions that start with BOX_. If a definition isn't present, the menu-link isn't displayed.

For example, if you don't want the Banner Manager link to show, you'd comment out the line that reads:

define('BOX_TOOLS_BANNER_MANAGER', 'Banner Manager');

Just be sure to comment the heck out of the changes, since that's a core file being edited!

You're a star! Thank you. And Yes I will comment the heck out of it all. But 4 and a half years ago Zen-Cart was the better option after being screwed over by OSCommerce.

We don't "sell" books ... that is all dealt with by a different front-end Membership subscription system. Once paid everything is a free 12-month download so we have even removed the customer login and shopping cart facility and provide direct downloads and series downloads.

Zen-cart gives us a very nice interface for the end user and our changes make it far easier for our Members.

So as you can imagine there is a lot that we actually will never use!
