Extension to remove the 'Quick Save' button (and more!)

Ugh, I’m stoopid. Had changed the text field to be empty but didn’t click ‘Yes’ above to apply the change. Although it did remove the text still which is why I thought it had worked but not worked.

My fault. Thanks for the help.

No problem. Glad it’s working for you now though.

You can already do that with the standard control panel. CP Home › Admin › Members and Groups › Member Groups › Edit Member Group › Admin This permits you to hide the Modules and Admin tabs… among other things you can customize.

That’s not the same thing. If you turn off module access via Members and Groups, you lock a member out of all modules. What I want to do is give a member access to specific modules (e.g. Freeform) by creating individual tabs, but remove the Module tab.

Firstly I must say that I love this extension! I wish I’d found it before I spent hours writing convoluted helpfiles to explain how to use all the extraneous edit/publish page buttons!

I’m having a problem with the “View the live version” link - it takes me to mydomainname/system/blog-post-title which gives me a page not found because that post should be seen on mydomainname/publications/blog-post-title

Have I missed some setting where I can tell it what path it should follow to display the preview? Or am I misunderstanding how that link is supposed to work?

Thanks for making this. The quick save button always confuses my clients. Better removed.

@plasticated You’re welcome!

@emilyh Sorry for the long delay – didn’t see your response. The live version link pulls from the blog’s path settings.

Any word on fixing the date issues?

😊

HELP!!!! I just did some settings. saved it. and it worked perfect. then i went back and selected the setting that was something about simplifying the date. saved that….and now my control panel is blank!!!! just a white page. i tried logging in with another browser…same thing. i can get to the login window, but once i login….nothing.

The same thing that happened to james Brown above just happened to me. I saved my settings for the Publish Improve extension and then my control panel broke! Thankfully at least I got this message error message:

Notice: Undefined variable: LANG in /home/xxxxx/public_html/system/extensions/ext.publishimprove.php on line 277

Fatal error: Call to a member function line() on a non-object in /home/xxxxx/public_html/system/extensions/ext.publishimprove.php on line 277

First I tried deleting the extension files but that didn’t work, so then I went into the ext.publishimprove.php file and deleted the line 277 and the following lines

$imagetext = $LANG->line('image');
            
            // This is just a style sheet trick that hides the additional menus
            $look_for = '</style>';
            $replace_with = <<<EOT
.itemWrapper .lightLinks {
    visibility:hidden;
    position:absolute;
}
</style>

EOT;
            $data = str_replace($look_for, $replace_with, $data);

After reuploading that file my control panel came back to me! I quickly went into the extension settings and set “Publish: Simplify all user date fields by removing non-essential buttons and links. ” back to No. I’ve also put back that line 277 code back into the extension file but I’m presuming that there is some kind of error so I recommend you don’t use that setting!

I hope this helps someone else not have a complete hernia when their control panel disappears on them!!

@supersusie your response to my comment about the “View the live version” link doesn’t seem to help. I’ve checked my blog Path Settings in CP Home › Admin › Weblog Administration › Weblog Management › Edit Weblog Preferences and they are not the same as the path to the page provided by that link (which as before uses the path to the CP) on the Edit page.

Hello- I was experiencing the same problem as emilyh, solved it by adding the following just above line 277:

global $LANG, $DSP;

Making the entire statement-

if(isset($this->settings['remove_date_cruft']) && $this->settings['remove_date_cruft'] == "yes")
        {
            // MOD added to fix error
                        global $LANG, $DSP;
            $imagetext = $LANG->line('image');
            
            // This is just a style sheet trick that hides the additional menus
            $look_for = '</style>';
            $replace_with = <<<EOT
.itemWrapper .lightLinks {
    visibility:hidden;
    position:absolute;
}
</style>

EOT;
            $data = str_replace($look_for, $replace_with, $data);
    
        }

Hope this helps…

Version 2.0.1 is now posted on Hop Studios:

Sorry for the delay, all!

Hi there,

I found the tab in textarea feature doesn’t work in Safari 4 Beta :(

Hi there, I found the tab in textarea feature doesn’t work in Safari 4 Beta :(

Just to say it worked for me when I was running the Beta. I’ve been using this extension for quite a while now and have never really had any problems with it. I’m now running the Safari 4 download that is from the Apple site, not sure if that’s still considered a Beta or not but it works in that one too for me.

Could you perhaps have another extension interfering with it maybe?

Best wishes,

Mark

I don’t think so. I’ll tinker and check. To be honest I have been trying to find some time to look at templates as files and messing in Textmate. Perhaps that is the best way to go?
