Remove “All” Tab in Riverdashboard

Removing “all” tab from the river dashboard navigation on Elgg powered site is very simple but you need to know a little bit about PHP and Elgg code. To achieve this you need to override/change a view in the riverdashboard plugin to do that. The file you need to edit is riverdashboard/views/default/riverdashboard nav.php . Now many Elgg site owners don’t know enough PHP or just don’t want to mess with Elgg code so we have created simple plugin that will remove “all” tab from the river dashboard so that you can only see “friends” and “mine” tabs. This will still display all site updates when user first loads the dashboard but will display only two tabs, “friends” and “mine”. To display “friends” updates as default you need to edit index.php in main riverdashboard plugin. We have included that file as well in download below.

Download Riverdashboard Remove “all” plugin.

How to install

• Unzip riverdash_remove_all.zip onto your PC.
• Upload riverdash_remove_all folder to your mod/ directory on your server
• Make sure plugin is at the bottom of the plugin list and “Enable” it.
• If you wish to display “friends” updates as default, upload index.php from riverdashboard folder inside the zip file and replace existing index.php in mod/riverdashboard/ directory on your server.

And that’s it. Your new riverdashboard will now display “friends” updates on default and show only “friends” and “mine” tabs in riverdashboard navigation. Enjoy your new custom Elgg riverdashboard and post any comments or problems below.
