A customer recently asked how to remove the teacher's email link from the Teacher tab in an OSCampus Pro course. You can do this using Joomla's Template Override feature.
In this blog post, we’ll show you how to achieve this with a simple template modification.
Here’s what the email link looked like before hiding it:
And here’s how it looks after hiding it:
Achieving this is a two-step process:
- Create a com_oscampus/course template override.
- Edit the default_teacher.php file.
Let's look at this process in more detail.
Step #1. Create a com_oscampus/course Template Override
- In your Joomla admin dashboard, go to System > Site Templates:
- You will see the Templates: Templates (Site) screen, as shown in the next image. Click on the name of your currently active Joomla template in the Template column:
- This will take you to the Templates: Customise (name-of-your-template) screen. Click the Create Overrides tab:
- In the Components column, click com_oscampus > course:
- You will see the Override created message, as shown in the next image.
Great! You've just created a copy—known as a template override in Joomla—of the OSCampus Pro course page. Now, you're ready to move on to the next step and edit it as needed.
Step #2. Edit the default_teacher.php File
- Click the Editor tab. Then, navigate to: html > com_oscampus > course > default_teacher.php:
- This will open the Override file (editable) panel, displaying the code of the default_teacher.php file. Locate and delete the code on lines #41, #42, and #43:
- Click Save or Save & Close.
- Now, check the Teacher tab on the front end of your OSCampus Pro course. The Email link should be gone, just as you intended.
