Hi all,
I am trying to hide/remove the "Affiliates" module from the module list in admin. The only way I have found so far is to go to admin/controller/module and rename affiliate.php to affiliate.php_. This then removes it from my module list without deleting any files however I was wondering if there was a way to do this using VQMod instead?
I would rather try to limit how many core files I edit without using VQMod and was thinking there may be another way to do this?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
admin/controller/extension/module.php
search for
replace with
it is better to use vqmod for this so you don't have to edit the core file directly
if you want to hide some other module eg banner, add "|(?=.*banner)" after the "(?=.*affiliate)".
the operator | is used to check if affiliate or banner is there, the same as "xor"
PREG_GREP_INVERT, invert the return value
search for
Code: Select all
$files = glob(DIR_APPLICATION . 'controller/module/*.php');
Code: Select all
$files = preg_grep("/(?=.*affiliate).*/", glob(DIR_APPLICATION . 'controller/module/*.php'), PREG_GREP_INVERT);

Awesome thanks ocart777, however it seems to remove "account" and "affiliate". Mind you at least I know where I am looking now 
If you can spot what is off that would be good otherwise I will have a play around and see if I can get it sorted.
Appreciate the help!
UPDATE: Seems that if I change [!affiliate] to [!account] i will still lose both. Must be the A's
