Portal Summary & Articles still appearing in Profile after disabling

[Zetan]

Ok, well that's a start then. Did you have any Warning messages on install of TP?
The language settings look ok as all the text links are there.

Have you gone through every file that TP edits? Once you're satisfied that all the files are correct, as per the guide. Then, if you haven't already, you need to go back and check the things I suggested earlier.

No warnings. After "Applying the Mod", there's a pop up saying the installation was successful.

Yup, gone through all the files. I checked for double replacement/editing too, since I installed and re-installed at least 2 times (because I had problems with the language files previously). But all subsequent re-installations did not prompt any error messages. Currently there are no error messages in the forum log file too

Although it's harmless for the TinyPortal links (i.e.Portal Summary and Articles) to appear in the "Regular Members" profile, I hope to remove it to make things look cleaner and before I start installing a few more mods........Meanwhile I'll be thinking what else I can do. If you think of something, let me know

Sorry if this is a dumb question

Looking at the permissions, I see that basically TP offers the admin to turn on/off the Manage/Edit/Upload/Submit of Articles/Blocks/Files (see attached picture) but there's no option to turn off the disable the options on a member account profile (based on my understanding).

The URL, TP features available on the Member's profile are basically to see the portal summary and articles (which I have not uploaded/created any)....which leads me to think that there's no setting to turn this off. Please correct me if wrong.

I don't believe that there is any way to turn off the TP Summary and TP Articles links in your member's profiles.  Those links simply show the number of articles and uploads that the member has made.  There is nothing that can be edited or changed by the member.  If they haven't submitted any articles or uploaded any files via the TP Download Manager, then the numbers for each of those will just show zero for each.  For instance, if you look at those links on my profile here, you'll see the articles and uploads that I have done and the TP Articles link will actually show any articles that I have done.

I did suggest that this may be a "quirk" of the software earlier, but I have no way to test that on my site with the current permission I have set. There's lots of SMF / TP sites that have the Admin menu button displayed, but it does nothing if you're not in the Admin Group.

I think you'll just have to live with it.

Yeah there are no checks for those links in the profile. They always show regardless. Feel free to add to bugtracker anyone. Not sure how or if they can be fixed, but it's worth a looksy.

Zar, I can't see your profile. I guess it's restricted access

Zetan, yup I get your drift. I have a Aeva Media mod, and it does removes all the links from the User account profile, but I'm no good in coding, so I don't know whether is it possible based on TP codes.

IchBin, I know you got lots of stuff to do, so it's just a bonus for us users if you can remove the settings. I feel that without those 2 links, it will provide better surfing experience for the forum user (of course it's not hell alot of "feel good factor" lol), but it could remove any user frustration clicking on a meaningless link, and letting the user better navigate the profile or forum...Just my 2 cents

Zar, I can't see your profile. I guess it's restricted access

Yeah, I just checked it and you are correct, it is restricted access.  I'll have to discuss this with the Team.

On being able to turn those links off, I really don't see this as high priority.  After all, it's only informational and it really does serve a purpose.  For instance, if one of your members wants to see all the articles that a specific member wrote, these links give them a list of them.  Is the ability to turn these off really necessary?

[sona67]

Yes I agree it's not necessary. Probably it will be of use later when I add in articles, but definitely not in the near future.

It just kind of stand out for me...like 2 strands of white hair lol.

[Zetan]

To be honest, of all the things to be concerned about, this really isn't one of them. It bothers you, but I doubt your members care either way.
