Dolphin 7.3.3- Remove File Buttons

Hi everyone

I want to be able to give users the ability to download files but not upload or create folders.

Can someone please tell me how to remove the Upload and My Folders buttons from file menu.

I realise you can restrict a user from adding files and a Access Denied pop up is displayed when they click the Upload button, but to my way of thinking that is not a good look, the better option is not to have the button displayed on the page.

Thanks for your help

Buttons are associated with an "action" and these can be harmlessly removed from the screen by making changes to the database. Each action is a different database field entry and this tends to frighten most people. Modzzz has a module called Actions Manager which allows you to remove, and more importantly restore, most of Dolphin's Action buttons. I have this module, but I don't have time to check if it will perform your specific request. If you care to wait (?) I'll check, but you can always email Modzzz and ask.

Hi John

Thanks for your reply. I'm aware that action buttons can be removed from the DB table, the buttons I am referring to aren't the action buttons, these are the Upload and MyFolders buttons in the top File menu. The problem with doing that is you lose the action buttons completely, I agree the Modzzz module is great for handling the action buttons.

I have taken a look at the Modzzz module and I don't think that will do the trick, I don't see any reference in his info to suggest they would work with the top menu buttons such as Upload and MyFolders

I am able to remove the buttons by simply removing their labels in Language settings, the problem in doing that is it will remove the buttons from all pages where Uploads can be performed, such as Sound or Video pages.

With the purpose of the site I only want to prevent users from seeing the Upload button on the File page.

Thanks for your help, I'll keep looking.

Run the following query in your phpmyadmin, then go to the admin panel and clear cache. 

DELETE from `sys_objects_actions` WHERE `Type`='bx_files_title';

Hi Modzzz

Thanks for the reply, exactly what I needed !
