Help - Removing Member's Nickname from Bottom Menu

I would like to remove the member's nickname from the fixed bottom menu (extra top menu).  I want to remove it because on handhelds, if the members nickname is long it changes the height of the menu and really messes up the layout of the tools/icons (I have made them larger for handheld devices).

I have looked at several files and also tried a few things but this is beyond my capability.  If anyone can point me to the right file to do this I will try to do it myself.  If not, I will post a job - I don't mind paying for it.

Thanks.

The nickname is next to the presence icon.

Are you looking to remove that entire section, or just the nickname leaving the icon in place?

I think there is room to leave the presence icon.

I tried removing some code from extra_top_menu.html and no matter what, you can't single out the nickname.  Makes sense because I see "<bx_repeat:items>" in the code (the icons/items are repeated).

I also looked through several php files but as I said, this is beyond my capability.

You can't do it from the template.

Run the following SQL in phpMyAdmin.

UPDATE `sys_menu_member` SET `Caption` = '<span></span>' WHERE `Name` = 'MemberBlock';

Then clear dolphin cache.

Done.

OMG.  That scared the begeezus out of me.  Then I remembered that I can always backup my db AND I have a test site lol.  Worked like a charm! Thank you very much!!

This is a problem and I have listed it as a bug; the dynamic resizing does not work as it should.  I am hoping to get some feedback on resolving the issue.

Excellent !!
