    It’s a great “simplify” extension. Thanks!

    Hmm, the removing Trackbacks column on the edit page doesn’t wok correct with non-english localization.

    You are using word “trackbacks” for replace function.

    return preg_replace(’/(.*)<td.*trackbacks.*?<\/td>/is’,'$1′,$thead);

    If anybody have set different language with translation of the word “trackbacks” header of the edit table not change. In my case is it word “Trackbacky”.

    So I’ve changed line 121
    return preg_replace(’/(.*)<td.*trackback.*?<\/td>/is’,'$1′,$thead);

    Now It’s working fine for me.

    Hi Gabriel. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll try to update it to use the translation instead of the hardcoded ‘trackbacks’ way.

    Or better solution:

    replace:
    return preg_replace(’/(.*)<td.*trackbacks.*?<\/td>/is’,’$1′,$thead);

    with:
    global $LANG;
    return preg_replace(’/(.*)<td.*’.$LANG->line(’trackbacks’).’.*?<\/td>/is’,'$1′,$thead);

    Low: Great!

    Useful extension. Thanks again.

    Ha! That’s exactly what I was doing! Updated.

    Thanks.

    And what’s about removing “DST Active on Date of Entry” checkbox on Option tab?

  8. 8 Low July 4th 2008, 23:13

    You can turn that off by setting the “Honor the Daylight Saving Time setting associated with each weblog entry” preference to “No” (Admin › System Preferences › Localization Settings).

    Ooooh. I’m stupid :D

    I have a distinct sensation of ME. WANT.

    Although “Control Panel according to Low” scares me a little, it sounds like a great extension!

    Thanks for putting this together.

    I’m haveing some issues with the Infinite URL title duplicates part of the extension. It seems to work fine when I’m adding entries via the control page but if I add entries via a SAEF then I get the error message saying the URL title already exists.

    Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this?

  13. 13 Low July 27th 2008, 11:57

    Francis, I’m afraid this will only work when adding entries via the control panel. I will take your suggestion into account for a next version.

    Hey Low - looks like this conflicts with the jQuery for Control Panel extension, preventing it from modifying the page buffer to add its script links. Only took me 2 days of disabling everything but this extension to figure that out, hehe. Many other extensions stopped working, as they rely on jQuery being loaded. Might want to look into this?

    I just noticed it causes the drag and drop arrows to disappear in the Structure module. Too bad.

  16. 16 Stanislav Majerski April 3rd 2009, 16:47

    Hi Low. As Derek Hogue mentioned this extension breaks some other extension that use the jQuery for Control Panel extension.

    In my case it was breaking the FiledFrame Extension by Brandon Kelly (http://brandon-kelly.com/apps/fieldframe).

    Thanks for the extension and hopefully you will be able to sort it out.

  17. 17 Low April 3rd 2009, 18:05

    I saw the problem (as did Brandon Kelly) and fixed it (as did Brandon Kelly). Version 1.0.2 should play nice with other extensions.

  18. 18 Stanislav Majerski April 3rd 2009, 22:19

    Great. thanks Low.

  19. 19 Rob Butz April 20th 2009, 11:06

    I was also having difficulties and discovered the thread where someone found the conflict with Low CP. Much appreciated that you fixed this, Low!

    You can remove the Trackbacks column easily by uninstalling the Trackbacks module.
