How to remove the option "Change Theme" to all members.

[Guest xeniumatics]

Hello,

 

I would like to know that how to remove the option "Change Theme" from the footer of IP Board? I do not want to give members the option of changing themes for themselves, just to avoid any unnecessary load on the server.

 

I know that there is a way to removing the variables used for each function, but i do not know which variable is used for this and how to search for it, the code is very messy!..

 

Thank you.

find:

<if test="skinchangerInner:|:count($footer_items['skin_chooser']) > 1">                                <li>                                    <a rel="nofollow" id='new_skin' href='#'>{$this->lang->words['change_theme']}</a>                                                <ul id='new_skin_menucontent' class='ipbmenu_content with_checks' style='display: none'>                                        <foreach loop="$footer_items['skin_chooser'] as $skin">                                            <li <if test="$skin['selected']">class='selected'</if>>                                                <a href='#' data-clicklaunch='changeSkin' data-skinid='{$skin['id']}'>{$skin['title']}</a>                                            </li>                                        </foreach>                                    </ul>                                </li>                            </if>

If you make all themes except the one you want them to use hidden (or don't give their groups permission to use) it shouldn't show up.

Thank you for responding. Making the unwanted themes hidden will still show this option and showing the option "Change Theme" and not giving any themes to choose from is not that pro. And group permission only has permission about how they can interact within a section of the forum, nothing about the accessibility.

 

If it is not possible through admin cp then can can someone kindly tell where i can remove it within the codes, i mean which file?
