Remove PrestaShop Welcome Video/Summary Prestashop Link and PrestaShop News!

[PS User]

Anyone know how to Remove PrestaShop Welcome Video/Summary Prestashop Link and PrestaShop News!?

I know the method in version 1.1 to 1.3 but not 1.4

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, I hope its not too late getting this answer.
This refers to 1.4.3 version of Prestashop, I think should be the same for previous 1.4.x.
To remove the entire right column but the admin box (the one with smarty, url rewrite infos, cache, htaccess and so on..) you do the following (of course I suggest you to backup the file you will modify):

in /yourprestashopfolder/adminXXX/tabs/AdminHome.php, line 430:

Original code

echo '


 '.translate('Loading...').'


';

Remove the div element "discover_prestashop AND LEAVE THE REMAINING CODE. Be careful deleting the DIV to avoid erros, such deleting the bottom that leads to break your BackOffice layout.
Modified code

echo '

';
