How can I remove color boxes from schedule?

[philip.hexley]

I am an absolute beginner when it comes to computers full stop, but I have found this site unbelieveably useful in getting a schedule up and running. There are a few things I am trying to work on but am having trouble as I don't know code or programming at all. So please bare with me on this one people.

I have successfully removed the "My participation" "Accessories" tabs from the pop-up box when scheduling an appointment, but now I want to completely remove the color boxes across the top of the schedule. I have found in templates schedule.template.php where there is a section,

line 51: function print_color_key() {

I feel this is what needs to be changed but I do not know exactly what/how to change it. When I have tried commenting it out with /* .... */ I get fatal errors pop up and no schedule at all. Please help if you can, I am a complete newbie so be gentle!

Philip, the people on this forum have never been anything more than gentle, I don't think you have to worry about that.

Go to schedule.class.php.
In there is a function called print_schedule().
I believe it's the first if statement (I have a lot of modifications, so it might not be).
It looks like this:

Code:

        if ($this->scheduleType == ALL)
{
            print_color_key();
}

If you just comment out

Code:

print_color_key();

with a //, your colour boxes will disappear.
Since this is the only function in that if statement, you could probably comment the whole thing statement out with your /* ... */.

I hope this helps.

Oh that's excellent - thank you!

I pretty much have a basic, but customised schedule up and running very easily. This is so great, again - thank you!

hey philip, how did you remove the participants and accessories in the popup? Please explain. Thank you

The simplest way to do it, although you may want to explore more to remove the outside border, is to find the begin_container() function in reserve.template.php.

Just comment out (or remove) the following lines:

Code:

<td class="tab-not-selected" id="tab_advanced" onclick="javacript: clickTab(this, 'pnl_advanced');" style="border-left-width:0px;"><a href="javascript:void(0);"><?php echo translate('Participants')?></a></td>

and

Code:

<td class="tab-not-selected" id="tab_additional" onclick="javacript: clickTab(this, 'pnl_additional');" style="border-left-width:0px;"><a href="javascript:void(0);"><?php echo translate('Accessories')?></a></td>

That will remove the tabs for those two in the popup. 

As I mentioned, you'll still have the "basic" tab, but you can take that out in the same function.  I suggest you experiment with it a bit, by commenting out pieces.  If you erase, you could break it pretty ugly.
