How to remove "FAQ" link in navbar

by sterbensie October 25th 2009, 7:22 pm

Title says it all, I have removed it before but it was so long ago =/. I'm using phpbb3, and i can't figure out how to remove the FAQ link. Like, I want it gone. I do not want it only displayed for admins. Thanks for any advice.

Right now for the pic I have "https://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif". Unless I am missing something you said.

I checked it out, its not possible to hide those images.
Other than the pictures in general/explore tab, others could be hided.

Could you post a link to your forum.
There might be another way to remove the FAQ.

The method sanket mentioned only works if you set all your navimages to image only

Edit: got a PM from author

Well your board is phpbb3 , unfortuantely it doesn't support template editing.
So the only way to remove the faq would be to change all your nav links to image only.

as a guest I can't see the link, so maybe if you check the permissions of the faq link it could help.
I know some faq prems can't be changed, but its worth a shot.
AP -> display-> headers adn navigation-> edit the faq link

Nah, I have it set right now as only viewable from admin. But here is a SS, of what it looks like. All of the options are grayed out for some reason. And how would I go about doing,

How to remove "FAQ" link in navbar Menu10

from my admin panel

yeah they are faded out because you cannot edit these settings.

But changeing all nav to only images I mean take for example:
https://help.forumotion.com/navigation-bars-f54/navigation-buttons-t48594.htm

you take those images and paste them normally in your picture management

then go to
AP -> display -> headers and navigation -> mark "Display only images in the link bar " to yes
if you used a blank FAQ image it won't appear

You can remove the FAQ link in the navbar even if you don't use images.

It can be done through CSS, but those people using Internet Explorer 6.0 will still see the link. Here's the CSS rule to remove it:

Code:: .navlinks a.mainmenu[href*="faq.htm"] {display: none;}

It can also be done using javascript, and that method has the benefit of working with all browsers. However, you will either need advanced knowledge of javascript, or someone with that knowledge who will write the code for you.

You are a pro dude, worked for both FF and IE. And saved me a lot of time, was already preparing some imgs for buttons lol.

that code didnt work for me though

by Guest October 27th 2009, 8:16 pm

It didn't work for you because you're using phpBB2, board software written in the last millennium. I make no guarantees that the following will work properly on your antiquated board, but try this CSS rule:

Code:: a.mainmenu[href*="faq.htm"] {display: none;}

It should work, but it may have some unintended side-effects since it's not as specific as the rule for phpBB3.

And like the phpBB3 rule, those viewing your board with IE6 will still see the FAQ link. That's because IE6 is as antiquated and as much of a security risk as phpBB2...
