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

I just stumbled across this extension and want to say Thank You! Excellent. I installed it and it is working perfectly in 1.6.1 build 20071204.

Feature request: How about, if you have the pages module installed, you get an option to add a ‘pages’ tab (that way you don’t have to manually add it for a bunch of users yourself). Bonus points if it is the first tab on the left 😉

Bug: the documentation link works, but references pmachine.com, not expressionengine.com.

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.

what can i do???

supersusie- I managed to get the extension uninstalled. I did some tests, and it appears that selecting yes on the “Publish: Simplify all user date fields by removing non-essential buttons and links.” option causes the blank screen on 1.6.2. Attached is an image with all the options I had set that caused it to go blank. Changing the date field option to no…everything works fine.

Good to know! I will be releasing a new version when I get time, one that uses JQuery and hopefully doesn’t cause the same problem.

TTFN Travis

do the same settings cause your install to go blank like mine? I don’t know if I have a freak issue or a common one.

Any updates on this as I really want to get rid of the Quick Save button!

I also need to get rid of it!

Bump on the jQuery update? Looking forward to a new version! 😊

I rarely use the ‘Update’ button to publish my entries, only the ‘Quick Save’ button (that way I don’t have to back up a page to get to where I was, as another person mentioned). Am I missing something here? All my posts seem to be publishing fine as far as I can tell.

Another useful update would be to enable different configurations for different user groups, e.g. remove the modules and my account tabs for people who aren’t super admins.

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.

I would like to eliminate the ‘Upload File’ entirely. This extension worked great for removing the text link part (along with a lot of other things I wanted to keep site authors from using/seeing), is it possible to entirely hide/disable the ‘Upload File’ icon as well as the text link portion?

Great extension, expected to use it to only disable what I wanted but found a ton of other useful stuff.
