How can i hide or remove the FAQ link and icon in 3.2 ?

It is almost the same.

See /styles/yourstyle/template/navbar_header.html

remove

Code: Select all

<li <!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->data-skip-responsive="true"<!-- ELSE -->data-last-responsive="true"<!-- ENDIF -->>
			<a href="{U_FAQ}" rel="help" title="{L_FAQ_EXPLAIN}" role="menuitem">
				<i class="icon fa-question-circle fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>{L_FAQ}</span>
			</a>
		</li>

Can I ask if this actually removes the FAQ link or just the button?

If I have the direct link to the FAQ (example.com/app.php/help/faq, I can still access isn't it?

It only removes the button/link you can still access the faq if you know the adress

I don't understand your question?
I told you how to remove or change the url in navbar_header.html and make your own FAQ,
So what do you want more?

Ern..,
you told him/her ONLY how to remove the link from the HTML, that's quite hack(ish), I can say. :)

Isn't possible without an extension which does not exist at this point in time for 3.2.xx, yet.
You may try to hard-code phpBB, that's not Style's related though.

Hi janus, removing the code from overall_header only remove the FAQ link.

if you got the address, I believe you still can access the FAQ and google will crawl it for sure.

my qns is how to block out example.com/app.php/help/faq

You could always delete, rename or move faq.php as well as removing the link.

rename faq.php to whatever.
using the pages extension, create your own new faq and name it whatever you want.
edit the link to the faq in the navbar to whatever the name of our new faq is.
done.

Hi Lumpy, that's helpful. Yes I intend to create my own FAQ using the official pages extension.

By renaming the faq.php, does it also "remove the address" and make it unaccessible? what are the impacts? Just want to know more.

Thank you.

if anyone tries to access the url they will get a file not found message. it will cause you no problems. why would anyone try to do it? if someone wanted to read your faq the only way they would know about it is by seeing the link in your navbar or wherever it is. that will take them to whatever faq page you make the link go to.

You change the name of the file the address will change - obviously.
