Hide the News uptop

[Celebrus]

This code hides the news that shows up next to the search box up top near the members area. It's useful if you are using Agent Moose's News Box code.

First ensure you have this in your headers:

Code:

<script src="http://YOURFORUM.smfforfreeX.com/jquery.js"></script>

Replace YOURFORUM and X in that with whatever is appropriate for your forum.
Then put this in your footers.

Code:

<script>
//Made by Omikron 9861
$("tbody tr td.titlebg2:contains(News)").hide();
</script>

umm, why do we need a code, you can just turn this option off from the admin, right?  Thats what I have done 

[Agent Moose]

Nice code

And No, you can't disable it...at least I can't.

[Sassy Pants]

Maybe I am misunderstanding it then, lol.....Admin > Edit forum news > leave totally blank and no news shows up.  I cant see it on my forum, not even the word news.  Also, this is how mine is set
Admin > Configuration > Current theme > uncheck enable news

Is this what we are talking about?  That news section?  If not, I apologize for butting in 

[Agent Moose]

That would be it.  At least there is another way to do it

[Celebrus]

I never knew that you could do that. 

[Sassy Pants]

weehaw!!  I am so smart for a change!! lol 

[Celebrus]

But I managed to figure out a use.
Suppose you are using Moose's SMC News Box, which does not work on machines where javascript is disabled, if you disable news, even those who can't see the newsbox(SMC) can't see it. This will disable it only where javascript works and so should mooses smc news box.
Remote, but not completely useless.

[Agent Moose]

That is a very good way to think of useing the code   Nice job

[Agent Moose Jr.]
