Hide module_about_user

[cst]

Hi, a noob question, but how do I hide this module on my own page?

I have added this to the bottom of the css:

/* hide about me */
.xg_module module_about_user{
display:none!important;
}

but it makes no difference. I'm using my profile on my network as an info page, and I don't want the about_user module on it.

Thanks hopefully!

Hello Crewspace!

To remove this box you must purchase the premium service Remove Ning Promotional Links. Once you've purchased this service you'll be able to use the Manage -> Features configuration tool to remove this box. Any attempts to remove it via other means is a violation of our Terms of Service and may result in a service interruption for your social network.

Cheers!
Mike

Thanks Mike,

- I thought that was only for the 'Create your own network' box and other Ning specific items.

I only want to hide the 'about me' on one profile page - mine (as network creator) because displaying my answers to the sign-up questions isn't relevant! I don't want to remove it from anyone else's page.

I'll remove the code anyway, but I'd be grateful if you could clarify this point! I don't want to remove any Ning promotional boxes, just hide my sign-up answers on just my profile page...

Thanks!

Hey Crewspace!

Sorry about that. I misread your question! Please ignore my last response.

Hmmm... I'd expect that CSS to work. You may want to check it with FireBug to verify that it is indeed being picked up. Firebug can also tell you what is overriding it. You may need to make the targeting a bit more specific to override a theme property that specifies that it be displayed. You may be able to resolve this as simply as adding an !important modifier at the end of your CSS.

Cheers!

Thanks Mike,

I tried a few variations, and yes - Firebug gave me a clue!

Here's what works:

/* hide about me */
.module_about_user{
display:none!important;
}

Hi, i tried to use it, but no results.
About is still displayed.

Here's what i'm using :
/**********HIDE ABOUT*************/
.module_about .xg_module_head
{
display:none!important;
}
.xg_module_ning
{
display:none!important;
}

Apparently this "Hide module_about_user" issue remains unsolved, whereas all the recommended methods to solve the problem don't work nor is there updated information about;

1. why it can't be done,
2. why the two additional tabs beside MAIN (Invite and About), can't at least be moved or hidden,
3. how one might accomplish what seems to be a simple and frequent request, (including a simple migration to premium or paid services),
4. where the same issue applies to the fixed Invite and About Tabs!

Locking these two tabs in location (position/order) and visibility makes no sense.

WIIFNING to lock the tab manager this way? (What's in it for Ning?)

Does premium access unlock the Tab Manager and Allow Features to be Added to Tab pages?
(The light gray tabs in the Layout GUI @ the ADD FEATURES TO YOUR NETWORK page suggests this might be the case...??)

Thanks hopefully 2!
(And following this thread...)

Other than that, NING has ONE AWESOME Fast-Start Product!

Hi,

I tried the css said above but it didn't work. Here's what works for me:

/* hide first three tabs */
#xg_tab_main, #xg_tab_invite, #xg_tab_profile{
display:none!important;
}

If you want to change the locked attributes for the three default tabs just hide them and re-create new tabs for them.

Hi,

I'm trying to hide profile questions and answers on the editProfileinfo page (i.e., My Page).

I've tried to follow the examples here by inserting

/* hide profile information on editProfileinfo */

.xg_module .nolegend profile {

display:none !important;

}

into the CSS, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any suggestions?

Thx!
