Drupal 5.x: hide input filter tips
29 Oct, 2008 Stephan
Since I only allow plain text to be entered in comment forms, I wanted to hide the filter tips that are displayed on the comment form. You can accomplish that by adding two functions to your template.php:
<?php
/*
*hide input filter tips
*/
function phptemplate_filter_tips($format, $long = FALSE) {
return '';
}
function phptemplate_filter_tips_more_info() {
return '';
}
?>
If you already have an existing template.php file in your theme folder, omit the <?php and ?> and add both functions.
Both functions override theme functions in filter.module. The function phptemplate_filter_tips() overrides theme_filter_tips() that returns the actual help text displayed for each filter. We simply replace it with an empty string.
The function phptemplate_filter_tips_more_info() overrides theme_filter_tips_more_info() that displays the link to the help page.
