Remove 'Latest News' out of Client Area

[CCSupport]

Hello all,

 

We have stopped using the Announcements pages within WHMCS. I have just noticed that when logged in as a client there's a section saying 'Our Latest News' and it points to the last Announcement....anyone know how to remove this? Or even better know how to just change it to a blog link?!

OK, sorted...Can be found it clientareahome.tpl. Look for:

 

{if $announcements}

<div class="alert alert-warning">

<p><strong>{$LANG.ourlatestnews}:</strong> {$announcements.0.text|strip_tags|truncate:100:'...'} - <a href="announcements.php?id={$announcements.0.id}" class="btn btn-mini">{$LANG.more}...</a></p>

 

As the above is an 'if' I guess there is somewhere to turn it off....I just commented it all out.

Yes, it would 'turn off' or not display if you had no announcements posted.

The if statement hides the announcements if no announcements have been made. If you've made announcements it'll show the announcements section - I don't think there is an option to disable the announcements from the ACP though.

 

Alternative would be to simply copy all of your announcements to your blog and then delete all the announcements from WHMCS.

Cheers all.

 

After having a bit of a play we decided to simply create an announcement pointing to the blog page...works pretty well.
