In versions < 5.5 this is a core hack in /include/globalControlLinks.php.
There you must edit this file directly.

Since version 5.5 you can customize the global control links by writing an own /custom/include/globalControlLinks.php which is called at the end of /include/globalControlLinks.php.

So you could solve your problem by writing a /custom/include/globalControlLinks.php with following content:

 <?php
unset($global_control_links['training']);
unset($global_control_links['about']);
?>

In my humble opinion there is no chance to do that in an upgrade safe way in 5.2.

Anyone else other ideas?

Hi,

You can do one thing that will make it upgrade safe...

<sugarROOT>/include/globalControlLinks.php

include these lines
if (sugar_is_file('custom/include/globalControlLinks.php')) {
include('custom/include/globalControlLinks.php');
}


and now in your <sugarROOT>/custom/include/ make the globalControlLinks.php file and just unset the links there instead of commenting or removing from the main file.

what this will do when you upgarde to sugar 5.5 it searches for the file in custom/include/globalControlLinks.php

The file will already be present and we need not do the same thing again after upgade....

Yes that's another way, but really upgrade safe is it not, only half upgrade safe...

Hi,

Half upgrade safe?
when we upgrade what will happen? which file will be removed?

[kuske]

After an upgrade you must rewrite the code in

<sugarROOT>/include/globalControlLinks.php

 include these lines 
if (sugar_is_file('custom/include/globalControlLinks.php')) {
include('custom/include/globalControlLinks.php');
}

Please forgive my ignorance if im wrong...

Aint these lines the part of core file when we upgrade to 5.5 or above in the globalControlLink.php??
