The Cpanel has too much on it that I can find no way to disable:

About T3
Guides
FAQs
YouTube Link

My users are mostly senior citizens and this can be very confusing. If they are looking for help regarding the website and click on Guides or FAQs they will be whisked away to something that has nothing to do with the content of the webiste.

I need to completely disable the cpanel and have the text sizer simply displayed on each page large enough to find. How do I accomplish this? It is very important to my audience to have a text sizer that is easy to find and not tucked away in a tiny panel that is easily missed by sight impaired viewers.

Go to your template manager and select JA Travel
Under Profiles tab, there are options for “User Tools”
Hide all of them and the CPANEL should disappear

I did that, but I can’t find a way to display the text sizer option without the cpanel. Seems the only way is through the cpanel. Any way around this?

Thanks for the reply. 🙂

how about hiding the ‘extra’ portions of the cpanel

/plugins/system/jat3/base-themes/default/css/usertool.css

add the underlined below

hide youtube link:


.ja-cpanel-action a.ja-cpanel-video {
float: right;
visibility:hidden;
}


hide jat3 links


.ja-cpanel-head {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
display: block;
clear: right;
visibility: hidden;
}

ok after reading your requirements again, I think this is not good enough. lemme see if I can figure something else out.

plugins/system/jat3/base-themes/default/blocks/usertools/cpanel.php

look for this line

<a href="#" id="ja-cpanel-toggle"><span>Cpanel</span></a>

change to this

<div id="ja-cpanel-toggle"><?php $this->showBlock('usertools/font') ?></div>

Then you just need to style the title and fonts to make it look nice 🙂

note: your cpanel will no longer appear after this change

Will this change allow for the text sizer to show easily on the page? Below is a screenshot of a fresh install of Joomla 1.6.4. I want to be able to keep the text sizer as it is in this screenshot.

I should add here that the font sizer included in the Joomla installation resizes ALL font on the entire page including menus etc. and not just the articles.

I have attached another screenshot for comparison. You can see how all text on the page is now quite large. This is very important on my website.

Thanks again for your help.
