Remove 'Formatting guidelines'

Posted by StevenSokulski on October 24, 2005 at 10:07pm

Is it possible to prevent the 'Formatting guidelines' from appearing? I'm using Flexinode to create customized content types but don't want the Formatting guidelines showing up everytime a text box is present.

I have a flexinode with a text area field that will be text only. No need for guidelines.

Posted by maastrix on August 6, 2006 at 8:42pm

It's better to do this in the style.css so you don't loose your modifications when you update drupal. As long as it's not possible to adjust this through phptemplates, use the code below:

#comment_form .tips {
	display:none;
}

and the link

Posted by ronan on August 25, 2006 at 4:03am

#comment_form .tips, .tips + a {
	display:none;
}

gets rid of the link too in browsers that recognize the sibling selector. (all the modern ones except IE6)

Careful with getting rid of #comment_form a stuff, it makes TinyMCE and bbcode wysiwyg buttons stop showing up :)

Though I have no idea how it would work with that particular notation coz I've never seen it before, would be nice if all it took out was the silly formatting guidelines links and left the buttons.

Unfortunately most of my users insist on using IE :(

Using color module?

Posted by lazy-r on October 23, 2008 at 2:16pm

If you are using the color module, you have to save your theme settings again. When doing this, the color module enabled theme will generate a new css from the original css file, which will end up in /files/color/[theme-name]-[some-number]/
Works fine here.

Try this

Posted by ronan on March 28, 2007 at 11:21pm

Looks like 5.1 has changed the id of the comment form and buried the link in a p tag.

I don't have a 5.1 install handy, so I haven't properly tested this, but this might work:

#comment-form .tips, #comment-form .tips + p a {
  display:none;
}

Two caveats:
- it will only work when there is just 1 format option
- it will only work on comment forms (hence the #comment-form)

If you want it to work on all forms use:

.tips, .tips + p a {
  display:none;
}

But I have no idea what loosening that restriction will do for anything else on the page so your mileage will vary.

Let me know if this works for you though.

I previously proposed to temper with a filter.module (see http://drupal.org/node/68137) , but your CSS code worked perfectly on 5.1 (a theme customized from Zen) . It even removed the "More information about formatting options". Perfection.

this worked for me in 4.7.

Posted by BassPlaya on September 2, 2007 at 10:32am

this worked for me in 4.7. but instead of having a link to nothing I guess it would be better to get rid of the "input format" link straight away? I have posted a topic on this but no reaction so far. I guess giving the option to an anonymous user to select something he/she doesn't understand isn't a wise thing to do nor giving them a link to nothing.. in my case the above code used works but still you see "input format" then you can choose between Full HTML and Filtered HTML, then if you click on the "More information about formatting options" it shows the Compose Tips with "input formats: "Filtered HTML" and "Full HTML" in a list and no links and no information.. if I were a normal user I would find it very stupid to come across such a page with something and nothing..
How would you feel?

Eeasy Solution

Posted by u4umar on October 12, 2011 at 10:16am

I have got rid of this only by putting these two 6 lines in my default css file which is style.css in my case.
.wysiwyg-editor-fckeditor .tips{
display:none;
}
#comment-form p{
display:none;
}

First one will work if you are using fckeditor and if not then you can search it by firebug that which class is implemented on form.

Thanks again for the solution.

Thank you

Posted by javier_ on March 5, 2008 at 8:20pm

Hi, I didn't tried this in Drupal 6 yet, but as you said it should work. You can try using the theme name instead the engine name, like "garland_filter_tips"

Alternatively, in D6 you can register the function as a template. For example you could create and empty file called "filter-tips.tpl.php" (underscore are changed with hyphens)

here is more info about it:
http://drupal.org/node/132442#theme-templates
http://drupal.org/node/173880

If you can make it work please post a comment here for future reference.

Bests,
Javier

I need this too

Posted by rrabbit on March 23, 2008 at 1:02pm

I'm using FCKeditor withe D6 and it works fine but the filter info below the text area is unnecessary and confusing. I'm too new to Drupal to hack this, so eternal gratitude offered to anyone who can!

Seems to me that this is something the FCKeditor module should do automatically whenever FCKeditor is enabled -- anyone found a hack for the module, rather than the template?

[EDIT 23/03/08]

Finally found how to disable this.

(1) As suggested by others, in modules/system/system.css:

.tips {
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  padding-top: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
  display: none; /* ADD THIS LINE */
}

(2) In modules/filter/filter.module:

/**
 * Format a link to the more extensive filter tips.
 *
 * @ingroup themeable
 */
function theme_filter_tips_more_info() {
  return /*'<p>'. l(t('More information about formatting options'), 'filter/tips') .'</p>' 
     COMMENT TO LEAVE ONLY return STATEMENT  */;
}

This leaves a nice clean form for non-HTML-savvy users. Probably not the best way to do it, but effective.

Perfect! Thanks

Hacking core

Hacking core (modules/filter/filter.module) is about the wrongest way to do this - effective as it may be.

Still... not being able to deactivate this in an easy way is utter silliness. Removing something so common and prominently displayed (yet so confusing and unnecessary for the less technically inclined) in the front end should NOT require overriding PHP functions...

Posted by christefano on August 19, 2008 at 8:22am

It's pretty common for Drupal sites to use theme overrides or have a site-specific module or two. The _filter_tips() and _filter_tips_more_info() functions that are mentioned above can be used either way.

Posted by -Anti- on September 10, 2008 at 9:47pm

Thank you for that.

I've spent two evenings trying to find a D6 solution for:
· hiding the collapsible area (only solved by using one filter & one fckeditor profile per role)
· hiding the compose tips

What a ridiculous problem though. Does some dev out there really think it was a good idea to force users to choose an input filter, and to place a load of undecipherable garbage (it is to most people) under the text area of EVERY BLOODY DRUPAL SITE IN THE WORLD?? It's damn scary to think that this implementation of filters made it through a discussion process and two major versions of drupal. I hope filters are completely and utterly invisible to users in D7, unless the admin chooses to display them.

Unbelievable. For all its genius, sometimes drupal is so dumb.

Wrap tips in collapsed fieldset (Drupal 5)

Posted by mcurry on December 28, 2009 at 11:38pm

Here's what I did to clean up the input formatting tips area (thanks and a tip o' the hat to all that came before me...)

The following theme overrides for Drupal 5 wraps all formatting tips related output in a collapsed fieldset (titled 'Formatting Information') when not viewing the 'compose tips' page (/filter/tips). The link to the formatting tips page opens in a new window ('target=blank'), in order to prevent possible loss of in-progress editing.

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of theme_filter_tips()
 * 
 * We want to put the filter tips into a collapsible and collapsed fieldset 
 * in order to reduce visual clutter.
 */

function phptemplate_filter_tips($tips, $long = FALSE, $extra = '') {
  // $collapse determines whether we should collapse the input filter formatting
  $tipspage = arg(0) == 'filter' && arg(1) == 'tips';
  $collapse = !$tipspage;

  // Invoke default implementation.
  $output = theme_filter_tips($tips, $long, $extra);

  // If we aren't viewing the 'Tips Page' (/filter/tips) then we add 
  // a link at the bottom of the fieldset.
  if (!$tipspage) {
      $output .= '<p>'. l(t('More information about formatting options (opens in a new window)'), 'filter/tips', array('target'=>'_blank')) .'</p>';
  }

  // If we want a 'collapsed' view, wrap output in a fieldset element
  // with the appropriate classes (.collapsible .collapsed).
  if ($collapse && !empty($output)) {
      $temp = '<fieldset class="collapsible collapsed"><legend>' . t('Formatting Information') . '</legend>' . $output . '</fieldset>';
      $output = $temp;
  }
  return $output;
}

/**
 * Implementation of theme_filter_tips_more_info()
 * 
 * Kill off the normal filter tips 'more info' link.  
 * We add it to the Formatting Information fieldset
 * @see phptemplate_filter_tips, above

As filter/tips - the page

Posted by kmetz on September 21, 2008 at 7:39pm

As filter/tips - the page behind the "More information about formatting options" link - generates its filter tips with theme_filter_tips(), i came across the following solution to keep filter/tips intact:

(for drupal 6, but it shouldn't be very different in 5)

<?php
/* Implementation of theme_filter_tips()
 * Remove filter tips under text input fields without touching the 'more info' link.
 */
function YourThemeName_filter_tips($tips, $long = FALSE, $extra = '') {
  $output = '';

  if (arg(0) == 'filter' && arg(1) == 'tips') {  // check if we are on the dedicated filter/tips page

    $multiple = count($tips) > 1;
    if ($multiple) {
      $output = t('input formats') .':';
    }

    if (count($tips)) {
      if ($multiple) {
        $output .= '<ul>';
      }
      foreach ($tips as $name => $tiplist) {
        if ($multiple) {
          $output .= '<li>';
          $output .= '<strong>'. $name .'</strong>:<br />';
        }

        if (count($tiplist) > 0) {
          $output .= '<ul class="tips">';
          foreach ($tiplist as $tip) {
            $output .= '<li'. ($long ? ' id="filter-'. str_replace("/", "-", $tip['id']) .'">' : '>') . $tip['tip'] .'</li>';
          }
          $output .= '</ul>';
        }

        if ($multiple) {
          $output .= '</li>';
        }
      }
      if ($multiple) {
        $output .= '</ul>';
      }
    }

  }
  return $output;
}
?>

This allows one to hide the actual tips and keep the link to "More information about formatting options". It should be the default behaviour for this whole thing, uncluttered interface plus help available.

...but by far, the EASIEST way to remove "more info about..."

Posted by zilla on November 14, 2008 at 1:04am

...is to use the lovely "string overrides" module

simply adding a string override for "More information about formatting options" to be replaced by (and then instead of just leaving it blank, hit the space bar one time to insert a blank )

...and voila, it is gone for good - and no touching template.php, no touching filters module, nothing...it's a string like any other...

Posted by StevenSokulski on March 28, 2009 at 1:34am

That's akin to saying that putting a windshield on your car makes it run slower.

When you really get down to it, installing Drupal makes your Web server run significantly slower than if you just let it sit there...

I get your argument that installing "yet another module" to make each and every adjustment on your site has an adverse effect on the site's overall speed, but many users already make us of String Overrides for dozens of other site tweaks making this a very viable option.

I'll admit I installed String Overrides to make this change initially, but quickly found many adjustments I could make with the excellent little module.

String Overrides puts a UI on

Posted by christefano on April 15, 2009 at 9:56pm

String Overrides puts a UI on top of functionality that's already in Drupal 6.x core. (If you don't want to use another module, you can still replace the strings in settings.php.) Besides, using String Overrides is much, much faster than the previous practice of using the core locale module to translate strings.

Better formats module - not working with biblio module/cck

Posted by JeniferTucker on June 9, 2009 at 6:09pm

I've just installed better formats module and it works fine with ordinary content types such as Page, Story, etc.
But I'm stuck with trying to get rid of the formatting tips when creating a biblio. i've also created new fields with cck.

I've done exactly the same creating a new content type and including new fields with cck.
This works with the better formats module and removes the formatting tips.

I can only assume that there's something hard coded in biblio somewhere?
Has anyone come across this themselves and worked out a fix?

Don't you read the readme file of your modules? It's in permissions, you have things to check added by better format.

only solution was the hack

Posted by vrwired on December 23, 2010 at 5:58am

Using 6.x, I tried everything from least invasive down to core trying to get rid of this and came down to the core hack - on all disappoints. Began with better format module and permission, to css theme template hack, to template.php theme hack, to css hack in system core to template core which finally worked but still had to get rid of menu link 'Compose tips'... here's what it regrettably came down to:

(1) As suggested by others, in modules/system/system.css:

.tips {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
font-size: 0.9em;
display: none; /* ADD THIS LINE */
}

(2) In modules/filter/filter.module:

/**
* Format a link to the more extensive filter tips.
*
* @ingroup themeable
*/
function theme_filter_tips_more_info() {
return /*'

'. l(t('More information about formatting options'), 'filter/tips') .'

'
COMMENT TO LEAVE ONLY return STATEMENT */;
}

3) To get rid of Compose tips in menu, search and comment out this block in modules/filter/filter.module:
$items['filter/tips'] = array(
'title' => 'Compose tips',
'page callback' => 'filter_tips_long',
'access callback' => TRUE,
'type' => MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM,
'file' => 'filter.pages.inc',
);

I'm a newbie this month, but what a hack for such an ad hoc... how'd this come up anywho - how did this get into core? I think it suddenly appeared on me after a few modules installed but not sure which one....

Better formats does this job,

Better formats does this job, no need to (and DO NOT) hack the core.
After install, you must go to:
admin/user/permissions
admin/settings/filters/defauts
admin/settings/filters/settings

Quick and dirty dirty

[Edit - after some closer examination, I don't recommend]
In your node.tpl.php, or whatever tpl you have for the parent entity of the comments:

<?php
 hide($content['comments']['comment_form']['comment_body']['und']['0']['format']['#theme_wrappers']);
?>

This will break WYSIWYG if you have it enabled.

function myTheme_filter_tips_more_info () {
  return '';
}

Eeasy Solution

Posted by u4umar on October 12, 2011 at 10:14am

I have got rid of this only by putting these two 6 lines in my default css file which is style.css in my case.
.wysiwyg-editor-fckeditor .tips{
display:none;
}
#comment-form p{
display:none;
}

Every time ready to help others.

I found my answer from this

Posted by chiappa on November 28, 2011 at 3:33am

I found my answer from this link: the text format selection

.filter-wrapper { display: none; }

This is the easiest solution,

Posted by RobW on November 29, 2011 at 2:34am

This is the easiest answer, but it's also, to put it bluntly, one of the shittier ones. Anytime you use display: none; you're removing the visual display but keeping the html and any Drupal related processing that that code requires (inconsequential here, but would definitely be a problem if you were to hide more dynamic content or an imagecached image). So basically you're increasing download time and in some cases the load on your available memory/cpu for no reason at all.

I'm not saying that we should never use display: none; -- I've just seen this as an increasingly common answer in the forums and I think we should all be aware of its pros and cons. The reality is sometimes when you take into account your client's budget or your personal time input, quick and dirty wins against difficult and correct. But it's not really a solution. Redefine a function or use a preprocessor if you can.

I understand your point and I

Posted by chiappa on November 30, 2011 at 10:39pm

I understand your point and I totally agree. But obviously this solution is for those who have no idea what exactly "Redefine a function or use a preprocessor" means, like me. Often when searching for answers there is the dirty css trick or the shit in your php files trick of which the former is the more permanent one. Although now my worry is that what else might stop displaying, and indeed quite a lot of fixes can be undoing previous fixes.

I just wish everything would be made turn on/offable, but I'm really grateful for all the code that's already out there and try to make the best of it to my capabilities.

    $form['comment_body']['#after_build'][] = 'remove_tips';
