Hey all, I wanted to start by saying what an awesome tool Opigno has been for my company for training our clients on how to use our software. It's really quite stellar. That being said, one piece I haven't quite been able to figure out is how to set the blocks for our "student" roles so that clients cannot change the preconfigured box settings. I'm sure I am just missing the setting. Can anyone clue me in? Thanks, Alex

Hi

Thanks for your message.

You can manage the homebox configuration at this url: http://<your_domain_name>/admin/structure/homebox/layout/dashboard

You can define if blocks are mandatory or manageable by the users.

Best regards,

Almost Perfect!

Hey Axel, Thanks for your help! That was such an easy fix (much like all of Opigno). My last question regarding this topic is how to remove the green "Add Blocks" button for non-administrator roles. I can't seem to find that setting under the homebox directory. Thanks!

Hi Akolodner,

The Homebox does not set this particular permission, but if the issue is that you do not want specific users to access specific blocks, you can set the permissions on the blocks themselfs.

Best regards

Hey James,

Hey James, I successfully disabled specific blocks on the permission level in homebox, now the issue is that I would like to disable the green "add block" button in order to dumb down the dashboard even more. Is that specific option possible? And if so, how?

Hi,

If you want to hide it for everybody the most simple is to add a CSS override:

#homebox-add-link {
display: none;
}
