Hi,

There are always 'View' and 'Track' tabs when a node is displayed to my registered users and anonymous visitors. I hope to remove 'track' for all visitors expect for myself (admin). I can not see anything about this in 'permission' setting. Anyone can tell me how to do this? THanks.

Hi Derek,

1. Turn off the Tracker module.

2. Create a view using the Views module that has admin permission only. Create an exposed filter to select the user, and then you create the view to pull a list of comments, nodes, whatever you want. Maybe even put it in a block. This functionality easily imitates the Tracker.

It is curious why core doesn't have any permissions set up for Tracker module at all. They were probably trying to be lean and mean, since most people wouldn't use those configurations.

Best,

Shai

Followed the instructions above, did everything by book and for some reason, even after going further and deleting the tracker directory, I still have a tab to track. I am about to start manually tearing apart some code here to fix, will post if I have any findings and anyone has a similar issue.

Best Regards and a huge kudos to anyone who can help,

Charles

I have the reverse problem, ahah!
Did you find out how to deactivate the tab, so I can activate it??

Navigate to Administer > Site building > Modules. Deactivate the TRACKER module. That will hide the TRACK tab.

..::
On the user permission page find the statistics module.
Uncheck the "view statistics" for the relevant roles.

That should turn of the "track"-tab, and on pages with no other tabs also the "view"-tab (since it's the only other option.

In drupal 6, there is no 'view statistics' permission.

There is an 'access statistics' permission, but I already had it set that only administrators had that set, no one else, yet I still see the Track tab on user's homepages.

I want to show it if anyone is logged in, but hide it if not.

I'm hoping to see progress on this because I have a user who is complaining this invades his privacy if other normal users can see tracking. Can't say I feel he has a serious point, but I'm surprised this doesn't appear to be configurable. Is this submitted as an issue?

The view is a good workaround, but it do not render exactly the same output.

I made a patch for Drupal 6 Tracker module that add a 'access tracker' and a 'access own tracker' permission in the permissions page. You can check them for the user groups you want.

Drupal 6 patch:

There is also a patch available for Drupal 5:
