Prevent users from collapsing blocks/columns

[jdougher]

In TP, it seems users can always collapse a left or right column. How can I prevent this from happening? Turn this feature off? When I set something up, it's for a reason, and I don't want users to have that ability. Thanks.

You can take the collapse buttons right out of the theme if you want. Which theme are you looking to do this in?

Two themes: techhead and mercury, both TP versions. Thanks!

How do I take those collapse buttons out of themes? Thanks.

In techhead scroll to the end of the index.template.php file and in Mercury they are about in the middle. Remove these lines:

Code Select Expand

// TinyPortal

         if($context['TPortal']['showtop'])
             echo '<a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/menuback.gif" alt="" style="margin:0px;" /><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/menuback.gif" alt="" style="margin:0px;" /><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/menuback.gif" alt="" style="margin:0px;" />';
         if($context['TPortal']['leftbar'])
             echo '<a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeaderLeftbar(!current_leftbar); return false;"><img id="upshrinkLeftbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_leftbar']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTempLeftbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/menuback.gif" alt="" style="margin:0" />';
         if($context['TPortal']['rightbar'])
             echo '<a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeaderRightbar(!current_rightbar); return false;"><img id="upshrinkRightbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_rightbar']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTempRightbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/menuback.gif" alt="" style="margin: 0;" />';
// TinyPortal end
