does anyone know how to remove the tell a friend link from a module. specifically wfdownloads. I have searched everywhere for it. I even used a globally search program too. Been looking for 2 days now and Im exhausted. can anyone help?
(BTW and FYI: I don't know much PHP so I'm crawling as I learn)

Any help is appreciated.

Nice module!

I think you mean "recommend" link?

Before full review:
remove line:
""<a target="_top" href="mailto:?subject=<{$down.mail_subject}>&body=<{$down.mail_body}>"><{$smarty.const._MD_WFD_TELLAFRIEND}>a> | ""

located in wfdownloads/templates/ file name: wfdownloads_download.html

In full view:
remove line:
""<a target="_top" href="mailto:?subject=<{$down.mail_subject}>&body=<{$down.mail_body}>"><{$smarty.const._MD_WFD_TELLAFRIEND}>a> | ""

located in wfdownloads/templates/ file name: wfdownloads_singlefile.html

Thanks you for your reply.

I tried deleting those instances before but I found out later that I didn't have "Check templates for modifications?" turned on in the admin area so when the page didn't update with the changes I figured I had to look elsewhere. But never attempt again after turning it on."

I'm also posting this for the next person that has this problem.

I will attempt it again.
Thanks.

I guess, we should add it as an option in Preferences, so the user could select if they want it or not.

Can you please submit a "feature request" to SourceForge? (see my signature for a link)

Ok, so I tried your suggestion and the link still appears. I cleared my cache and made sure the template modifications is turned on.

Is there another reason why the link won't go away?

Its strange.. Delete from xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile/ all files except index.html
Other, be sure that module cache is OFF

i delete the inde.html from the cache directory as you suggested but with no results. How do I make sure the cache is turned off. I don't see an option in the wfdownloads module preferences.

He may still be running a cached version of the page with the phantom link. Were the caches cleaned after link removal?

Yes cache, no else remained..

@codefantom, dont delete index.html, delete only cached files (all others)

Also, modules cache you may set from control panel-system-preferences-general settings

Sorry guys. there was only a index.html in the cache directory, nothing else. And I went into the settings and all of the cache options are turned off. I've moved on to another modification hoping that it will eventually show the changes but 2 days later and still nothing. Is there a secondary page/area I also need to make changes to? Or is modifying the templates all that's needed to make cosmetic changes?
