    Remove Linkback Menu

    Hello lads, quick question for you.

    Want to remove the drop down 'linkback menu' as it is not used etc etc. I still however want to keep the ref backs on the bottom of the showthread page so I can keep an eye on things.

    Is there a template that i need to edit to put a <!-- linkback menu code --> into to stop it showing up.

    I did a seach for linkback in the templates and didnt see any likely sources.

    Cheers,
    Richie

    try using something like

    Code:
    <div style="display:none;">
    $vbseolinkbacks
    </div>
    in the shothread template.

    Hi Brian,

    I inserted that inbetween the head and the body tags but it did not remove it.

    Are there any other ways to disable it?

    Cheers

    in between head and body is non-existent space.

    It should be in the show thread template, somewhere around the bottom (doesn't really matter exactly, as it won't show anything)


    You can also try using

    <!--VBSEO_LINKBACK-->
    instead of
    $vbseolinkbacks

    Sorry, my mistake. I ment that i tried it in the head tags and it didnt work and in between the body tags and it didnt work either.

    I will try the second suggestion though.

    it needs to be at the same spot or LOWER in the document than default due to the use of hooks, etc. Putting it before it, it doesn't exist yet.

    Cheers,

    I just tried the first option again in the end of the showthread template just before the </body> and it didnt work.


    <div style="display:none;">
    <!--VBSEO_LINKBACK-->
    </div>
    doesnt work either.

    What causes the template edit to make that change, surely it can be removed or changed back?
    Thanks

    option, what do i do with this? I don not have $vbseolinkbacks in my showthread template

    $vbseolinkbacks is the php variable before it gets converted into <!--VBSEO_LINKBACK--> with vbseo template replace functions.

    I've flagged this for a developer to review.

    I just noticed i typo'ed the comment.

    <!--VBSEO_LINKBACKS-->

    is the correct thing to use (with the S).

    Can you also try that?

    Ok i added:

    <div style="display:none;">
    <!--VBSEO_LINKBACKS-->
    </div>

    and it didnt go anything. Should the <!-- and --> be there... doesnt that cancel out the code no?

    It is supposed to be there, yes. vbseo does a pre_match on that string.

    We'll just have to wait for a developer to jump on, as this should be working.

    Hello,

    you can empty "vbseo_linkbackmenu_entry" template in vB admincp for that.
