Kill the Get Themes button in 3.6

[patrickjdempsey]

I'm seriously thinking about building this into my themes because this whole Personas mess has me so mad. I get angry emails and bad reviews on AMO about Personas already and 3.6 is not even Public yet.

#getMore { display: none !important; }

not a bad idea actually. since the personas aren't supported in our themes, we should not show that to users while using our themes.

Well really... I'm just pissed off.... but if EVERBODY is pissed off... that would really make a statement.

Good idea, I'll do it

And 20 seconds later ... It's hided

Hi,
i have removed as well this bug in my new versions

Cheers

[Jeff.Tet]

I have removed it from mine as well!

Code: Select all

#getMore { display: none !VERYimportant; }

Very good idea! Also done!

I don't know if this is kosher but couldn't you redirect that to the themes section of AMO?

Making into a 10 day sticky.

As a theme user, I have questions (probably dumb ones too).

If at the time of 3.6 release a theme is updated, but the developer did not kill the link, can the user add the code to the theme jar file himself? If yes, where?

Will the theme still offer updates trough the FF automatic updating feature?

Thanks, and sorry for intruding

Yes, users just add it to the userChrome.css of their Firefox profile. Just follow Section 4 of this link - viewtopic.php?p=3519925#p3519925

As well as -

Code: Select all

#getMore { display: none !important; }

...users may also like to add this, as well -

Code: Select all

#installFileButton { display: -moz-box !important; }

This unhides the Install button in the Addons Manager that allows you to easily install themes and extensions stored on your harddrive. It was always there and was hidden for no good reason, ages ago.

Will the theme still offer updates trough the FF automatic updating feature?

Yes.

It removes only the Get Themes link.

Yes, I understood that part. That's why I was asking if I can remove the link myself on a theme.

Thanks for your reply, and for the link supplied

Happy New Year to you!

Sorry, Frank Lion. Must be the New Year's festivities I just saw your post now.

Thank you very much for the great help. It's appreciated.

Not too late to wish you a Healthy and Happy year 2010. Thanks again

Hey Frank, that's a good tip about the Install button.
