Hello to all,



I was wondering if any body can please help me with locating the file that holds the html for the admin login page. I would like to change the links in the help box on the left of the authentication box or completely remove it. I can see the links when i right click on the page and view the page source but i cant find the file that contains that source.



I will appreciate any help…



Thank you,



Glenn

the actual contents of the side box are located here where you can change the values of the links:

skins/(YOUR ADMIN SKIN)/admin/side_boxes/help.tpl



note: backup your original BEFORE you attempt to change stuff



Removing the whole help box is a little more complex…

thank you for your help.



any tips on how to remove?

This is just quick and dirty…



BACKUP your existing files BEFORE you make these changes



in skins/(YOUR ADMIN SKIN)/admin/side_boxes

in your favorite html editor create a new .tpl file called help2.tpl



put this at the top just to help you remember what it is


{* $Id: help2.tpl 1462 Sunday, August 19, 2007 1:26:15 PM MOD $ *}





NEXT open your main.tpl in your skins/(YOUR ADMIN SKIN)/admin/

and change this line only





```php {else}

{include file=“side_boxes/orders.tpl”}

{include file=“side_boxes/catalog.tpl”}

{include file=“side_boxes/users.tpl” }

{include file=“side_boxes/shippings_taxes.tpl”}

{[ADDONS_DATA]}

{[/ADDONS_DATA]}

{/if}







{else}

{include file=“side_boxes/help[COLOR=“Red”]2[/COLOR].tpl”}



{/if}





```

by adding the "2" after help

Upload the 2 new files into the appropraite directories and there you go.

it works OK on my setup as you can see...
