How to Delete Forum and message Board

[LouisG]

I would like to Know how to Delete the forum and Message board from my store it came with it and all I get is spam or is there a way to shut it off

A very wide open question, if you have a standard install with a column down each side then the links to a forum/message board could be commented out in /catalog/includes/column_left.php

 

as shown below for the what new box

 

/* require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'whats_new.php'); */

 

or the contact us link in /includes/boxes/information.php

 

/* . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>' */

 

Adapt these instruction as required.
