Description
You currently cannot disable the "my quotes" entry in the menu. You should be able to.
#1
Drupal's menu system does not currently allow administratively-controlled dynamic menu items like this. So, just as you cannot disable 'my account', 'my blog', etc., you cannot disable 'my quotes'.
#2
So how do I get rid of it? Hacking core?
#3
You can just edit the quotes.module file and remove that entry in the array() created in quotes_menu(). That is, simply delete or comment out lines 65-70:
<?php$items[] = array(
'path' => "quotes/$user->uid",
'title' => t('my quotes'),
'access' => ($user->uid && (user_access('create quotes') || user_access('import quotes') || user_access('edit own quotes'))),
'type' => MENU_DYNAMIC_ITEM
);
?>

Thank you very much for your help and for the module! :)
#5
here is a small patch that adds a setting option to disable or enable the "my quotes" menu link.
#6
Sorry, forgot to mark this for review.
#7
Thanks Sean!
#8
Updated version that also includes a setting for turning on/off the %name's quotes link at the bottom of nodes.
Seemed like these two were similar functions, so I put them in a fieldset and rolled them both into this one patch.
#9
Might these changes be incorporated into the module proper?
Thank you in advance for a promptly updated module!
#10
Does this patch work on release 5.x-1.1?
This is a great module and a much appreciated patch. Just out of curiosity, why wasn't the patch incorporated into the new release?
#11
+1 for this.
Can the author patch this?
#12
Just go into the module. Locate the the last line of that menu entry (line 70), which says "'type' => MENU_DYNAMIC_ITEM". Put "//" in the first two columns. Save the module.
Now your menu item is no longer "locked" and you can disable it.
#13
the patch is the wrong approach.
The menu item should be put in
if (!may_cache) {}and the menu type should beMENU_NORMAL_ITEM.It is actually a bug.
#14
Where does this stand? Is it a patch or a bug that will be fixed? I would like to be able to disable 'my quotes' without modifying the module if possible.
Thanks,
Maria

I, too, would like to know what action to take to fix this problem. It's been three months since Maria's message received no reply.
#16
#12 is very easy even if you don't know php.
Based on the statistics (http://drupal.org/project/issues/statistics/quotes) for this module, I'd say it is close to being abandoned.
#17
The fix in #13 is done. I will look further at Sean's suggestions.
#18
Marking http://drupal.org/node/244555 as a duplicate of this.
#19
The full patch has been committed to both of the -dev versions.
There are new settings to disable the "My quotes" menu item and the "xxx's quotes" links.
Note: The 6.x version includes a link to the performance settings page where the menu can be forced to be rebuilt (the "clear cache" button) if you change the menu setting.
#20
Abandoned? Personally speaking I just started using it and am loving it.
#21
No, this module is no longer abandoned. I am actively maintaining it.
#22
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.
