Re: [Slashcode-general] how do i remove plugins?

[alex <al...@ya...>]

Ok,

Lets assume you are talking about the code which ends up generating the 
html something like


<!-- start template: ID 87, users;menu;default -->

[
         deleted for brevity.....

         <A HREF="//news.diversebooks.com/journal.pl">Journal</A>
          |

         <A HREF="//news.diversebooks.com/users.pl?op=userclose">Logout</A>

  ]

<!-- end template: ID 87, users;menu;default -->


This template says

[ [% FOR i = items %]
         <A HREF="[% i.value %]">[% i.label %]</A>
         [% " | " UNLESS loop.last %]
[% END %] ]


And that items is items = arrayref of hashref of menu items (value (link), 
label)

OK - so you are saying you can't see where the items are defined (and 
deleting the link doesn't help....)

Slash.pm contains createMenu, which itself calls getCurrentMenu, which 
itself calls....

You're right - it is a bit convoluted :-)

This suggests to me that it is stored in a database table somewhere....

Well look at that - there is a table called menus, and columns called menu 
("users"), label ("Journal"), and value ("something/journal.pl")

Perhaps you could ammend this table and see what happens.
