Hi,

 

I can see the topic of removing help button from PS 1.5.6 Version

 

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/295865-solved-how-remove-help-button-from-administrator-page-on-ps156/

 

 

Cant find how to remove in in PS 1.6 version. Please advise how you can remove the help button from the admin panel. thanks.

you can easily do it in bulk

go to /classes/controller/AdminController.php

and comment out (or remove) this line:
 

$this->context->smarty->assign('help_link', 'http://help.prestashop.com/'.$this->context->language->iso_code.'/doc/'.Tools::getValue('controller').'?version='._PS_VERSION_.'&country='.$this->context->country->iso_code);

Hi vekia,

 

If I comment out the line as you mentioned on AdminController.php, will I still be able to update for any version release? Will it be override?

 

Thanks.

In Vekia's approach, it is not an override, but an edit to the core class, so you can still upgrade, but you will lose this change.  But that is an easy change to reapply after an upgrade.

 

You can attempt to do this change via an override of the 'initPageHeaderToolbar' function in the AdminController class.  This allows the core function to execute and add the help link, but then you remove it before the page renders.

public function initPageHeaderToolbar()
{
    parent::initPageHeaderToolbar();

    $this->context->smarty->clear_assign('help_link');   
}
