Is there a way to modify something an make visible only the left shrink panel button?
There are three buttons visible now to shrink panels (left, center, bottom).

Hello leftezi,

Welcome back to the TP Support Site.

In TinyPortal General Settings (SITE/index.php?action=tpadmin;sa=settings), there is an option to "Allow the panels to be collapsed?".  This is an all or nothing option.  Selecting "No" for this option will remove the upshrinks for all panels.  As far as I know, there is no way to do this on a per panel basis.  Another Team Member may know of a way to do this that I am not aware of.  In other words, it's all or nothing, as far as I know.

Thank you.
Yeah! I saw this. But maybe is a good option to include in the next update.

Only through file manipulation is it possible. Maybe some one can help.

You should have access to the bugtracker where you can put in a Feature Request for TP2.  If you can't seem to put in the request there, let me know.  The link is here --> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?project=1;area=issues

I putted a request there.   
Just for now i don't want to have three options, one for each panel. I know this is not easy to do.
I only ask if someone can help me to erase the other two buttons and hold only the left panel shrink button.
This should be not very hard to do.

There are three buttons visible now to shrink panels (left, center, bottom).

Just as a side note, this is because those are the only panels that you have blocks in.  If you had blocks in the top, lower, or right panel, you'd have 3 more buttons.  Center is the same as the upper panel.

Yeah! Right.
i had only three panels, that's why a was writing for only three buttons. 

But i still looking for someone who knows how to delete the buttons that i don't want to be visible.
Somewhere in some file should be some code to change or to delete!!

Found it: 

in file "TPortal.php"

Find:

Code Select Expand

$panels = array('Left', 'Right', 'Center', 'Top', 'Bottom', 'Lower');

replace with:

Code Select Expand

$panels = array('Left');

This makes only the left shrink button visible.
