Override Theme Menu Local Tasks in Drupal 6

Mar 31 2011 · 1 min read

Today I needed to hide the Signups tab on user profiles, but sadly, there aren’t any CSS classes to target the item I needed to hide.

In this case, we develop (and test the upgrade) from svn trunk, locally, and have production on a tag. We use drush (version 4.4) to do much of the heavy lifting. In order to use drush during the upgrade procedure, you will need to have access to an internet connection.
