Remove the CHECK FOR UPDATES button in admin section

how do i remove the 'CHECK FOR UPDATES' button located in the top right corner of the screen when logged in as admin?...

is there some code i can comment out somewhere?.. if so.. how and what?

i installed the Admin Profiles by kuroi, it worked a treat.. but im worried staff might still mess up the site by pressing that button...

Cheers
Martin

Re: Remove the CHECK FOR UPDATES button in admin section

that button will not update your site automatically , only checks your version of zencart to see if there are any update available , if so , you still have to do them manually

or check this ..

Re: Remove the CHECK FOR UPDATES button in admin section

Tony is absolutely correct, but look at:

ADMIN>>>MY STORE>>>Show if version update available (set as appropriate).

See my new signature.

I added the signature AFTER making the post. However, for everyone's benefit, my new signature says:

Re: Remove the CHECK FOR UPDATES button in admin section

Thanks to those that replied but i already have

admin >> my store >> Show if version update available: set to False

my problem is that when it is clicked it causes the browser to crash ( both FF and IE - i dont know why.. nor care )

so id like to remove the button in question to stop any accidental or deliberate pressing... im not after messing with code... i just with to comment out the specific bit of code so it doesn't appear..

any ideas people? :wacko:

(telling staff NOT to click it cleary doesnt work)

Would you care if the button that customers clicked to send money your way, didn't work... ?

Sometimes, a problem that seems specific (or isolated) to a particular element has a wider consequence. It may be in your interests to find out why that function crashes the browser, because similar functions may have the same effect.

Re: Remove the CHECK FOR UPDATES button in admin section

If this is a cURL problem, you may have big problems taking credit card payments through a payment gateway (eg: paypal, nochex, authorizenet)
