Ellsinore 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2020 My dropdown menus (Find, Media, Info) contain numerous menu items that contain no content. I know at one time I was able to comment these out, but have upgraded (v.12) since that time and can't for the life of me find where to change this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philip Roy 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2020 If you also want to remove some of these items from your footer of the main page, then you should look at the index.php file that is part of your template folder....so (for example) /templates/template18/index.php I'm not sure if it's the same for all templates, but it is for Template 18.

Ken Roy 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2020 If you are going to make changes to genlib.php, I would recommend that you learn how to create private mods using the Mod Manager to make your changes. Reason being that genlib.php is changed in every TNG upgrade and it is a lot easier to uninstall mods, upgrade, and re-install the mods than to keep track of changes you make to TNG files and have to manually figure out how to make the change again.

The "Find" and "Info" menus are easy and self-explanatory -- and done. For the "Media" menu, however, which is the main one that needs fixing, instead of listing each media type (except for "Albums"), I see only "if(!$mediatype['disabled'])" at line 665 (v.12). If media types CAN be disabled, that would work great. Ideally, I'd rather just "Media" link to "All Media" rather than initiating the drop-down, but I'd be happy just commenting out the media types I don't have. I'm really on the fence about upgrading at this point. I sure don't want to have to go through this all over again. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completely agree with you, and a few years ago this is probably how I would do it. Unfortunately, I'm not as smart as I used to be and the mere thought is overwhelming at this stage. The code confuddles me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Roy 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 Speaking of menus. At 73, not sure if I can remember how to tie my shoes, let alone modify PHP with Mod Manager. What I would love to see is a mod (there would probably need to be one for each template) that would allow you to remove some of the site menu options. Say Recordings, Videos, DNA Tests, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then click the Trim Media Menus to remove the collections for which you have not media from your Media drop down menu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Roy 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 Rob, If you run the Trim Media Menus from the Import/Export - Secondary Process tab as mention in the previous post, it might remove the Recordings and Video if not being used from your sidebar menu. I know it removes them from the Media pull down. There is an option in Admin > Setup > General Settings in the DNA Test section - Hide all DNA pages and data when set to NO should remove the entry from the public side of TNG. There is a mod that will remove it from the Admin menu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michel KIRSCH 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 This Mod is under development, but works wel. Actually the menus on the main page (depending of each template) are not (yet) modified The Mod is not yet documented. If you want to try it... Michel PS : to edit the parameters , go to Mod Manager, develop the mod (once installed) and use the green "Easy Edit" button instead the normal "Edit" button Note : prior to install, your file genlib.php must be without your own modifications. If there are modifications done => Bad targets This Mod is not compatible with the "Hide google buttons" Mod show_hide_menus_v13.0.1.1.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Roy 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2020 Michael. I do appreciate the offer, however, Ken's suggestions trimmed things down. I am at least 3 weeks away from getting glasses after eye surgery and am careful of my time on PCs. Eye strain is an issue. I do appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mod works for TNG v13.0.3 (shows "ready to install" but certainly have a conflict with previous Mod you've installed. Try to install it first... Here is the actual version...
