I hope you didn't delete the MOD folder in admin/mods or you lost your ability to use EM's backups to restore your board back to what it was. Here is how you can Restore the EM Backups should you ever need to remove an installed MOD...
Restoring EM Backups
If a MOD that you installed with EM hosed your board or you decide that you just don't want it, simply go into EM History in your ACP MOD Center and click on the Details button next to the MOD entry..
On the bottom of the next page, select Restore Backups and press the Go button. Make sure you DON'T select the Remove Record option or you will be forced to manually rolll back the EM backups that were created for you. I will have to walk you through that if need be...
Next you will see a page to confirm eht operation. You would choose Yes:
MODs can only be uninstalled in reverse order that they were installed: FILO (First In, Last Out). So if you installed a MOD, then several others, then decided to remove the first one, you would have to Restore the backups of the other MODs before you could Restore the backups on the first MOD...
Restoring EM Backups (Manual Instructions)
If you are unable to get into the ACP, you will need to use these manual instructions to Restore the EM Backups...
Download the backups folder that EM created for you in the MOD sub-folder found in admin/mods. Strip the .txt extension from each file in every folder in the backups folder. So the resulting file extensions will be php, tpl, css, and cfg. Upload the files back to their proper locations on your board; i.e.
- copy backups/admin/*.* to phpBB/admin/*.*
- copy backups/includes/*.* to phpBB/includes/*.*
- copy backups/language/lang_english/*.* to phpBB/language/lang_english/*.*
- copy backups/templates/subSilver/*.* to phpBB/templates/subSilver/*.*
- copy backups/*.* to phpBB/*.*
Of course if you have alternate templates and language folders, you will need to copy the files for them as well. I'm referring to phpBB as your forum's root folder in the above copy commands. If your root folder has any other name, just substitute phpBB with the name of your forum's root folder name...

Woops, that was a mistake to delete the backups that EM created for you. You could have used EM's Restore Backups utility to quickly and easily restore your board back to what it was before installing the MOD. Now you can either manually remove the MOD code from your phpBB files or you can start your forum over from scratch. You can do the latter without losing your data as long as you don't run the phpBB install program. If you don't have many MODs installed the latter is the easiest and safest option...

I don’t know of a mod that can add/edit/remove main menu links for you but you can modify that section yourself….take a look in the overall_header.tpl which is in the template/your_lang folder. The coding should be at the very bottom of the page.
The coding will look similar to this
| Code:
|
<td height="25" align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="mainmenu">
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_in -->
<a href="{U_PROFILE}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_profile.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_PROFILE}" hspace="3" />{L_PROFILE}</a>
<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}" hspace="3" />{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>
<!-- END switch_user_logged_in -->
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_out -->
<a href="{U_REGISTER}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_register.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_REGISTER}" hspace="3" />{L_REGISTER}</a>
<!-- END switch_user_logged_out -->
<a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_login.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" hspace="3" />{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</a>
|
I hope that helps… |
