Yes and yes. It's not a bug, it's a feature

This meta box is simply part of the i3theme Template. So, yes, it's supposed to be there, although it's not a typical s9y feature.

And yes, you could remove it by removin the following lines

Code: Select all

            <div id="meta" class="dbx-box">
                <h3 class="dbx-handle">Meta</h3>

                <div class="dbx-content">
                    <ul>
                       <li class="rss"><a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}{$serendipityRewritePrefix}feeds/index.rss2">{$CONST.ENTRIES} (RSS)</a></li>
                       <li class="rss"><a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}{$serendipityRewritePrefix}feeds/comments.rss2">{$CONST.COMMENTS} (RSS)</a></li>
                       <li class="login"><a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}serendipity_admin.php">{$CONST.LOGIN}</a></li>
                   </ul>
                </div>
            </div><!-- /#meta -->

from /templates/i3theme/index.tpl. You'll find this snippet twice in that file, so remove it twice to make sure you don't get it again if you switch layouts. Also beware that these changes will be overwritten in case of an update to the i3theme.

(Why does everybody want to remove this little box? It's not like it's doing anything wrong ... )

Perhaps it should be a template option if "everybody" wants to remove it...

[MadFly]

i don't know why everyone wants to remove it, i do, because i cannot see the use of it. Allthough i am new to serendipity

But anyhows... I'll try to remove it some other time... too tired now, i just might screw things up...

thanks for the input!

It links to your entries and comments RSS feeds and gives you a login link. Nothing fancy, nothing dangerous.

Thanks! That code removing worked perfectly!

If I want it back, should i just paste the code in again, or could i just upload a backup of the index.tpl to the server?

Both should work. Depends a little on how many further changes you make to the index.tpl.
