I would like to change the template files related to the Private Message page.  I don’t want the spHead information to display if they are looking at their private message box.  It is too confusing.

I am using a copy of the default theme and cannot find any file that relates to the private message inbox page.  Also, I don’t see any special class or id associated with the head information so I can use “display:none”.

Is there a php call I can make to check if the page is the inbox?  Are there any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Ricki

since the private messages are a in a plugin, the template files are not included in themes, but in the plugin itself…  but you can override them…

see the private message plugin directory… you will find a template_files directory in there… copy whichever template file you want to modify into your theme and edit away…  your theme version of the template file will override the plugin default template file…

in this case, you will want spPMMEssagesView.php and spPMThreadsView.php…  to remove the standard forum header, just remove

    sp_SectionStart(‘tagClass=spHeadContainer’, ‘pmHead’);
        sp_load_template(‘spHead.php’);
    sp_SectionEnd(”, ‘pmHead’);

from them…
