I want to remove the Table Prefix option on the main settings page, how do i do this ?

Do you just want to remove the textbox or remove prefixes all togeather.  If it is the first one then just edit Admin.php and change the type form text to hidden.

need to remove it all together to stop people chaging it. I can't find the file that powered the settings page tho.

Thanks

The file you want is Admin.php about line 914.

Change

Code Select Expand

<input type="text" name="db_prefix" value="$db_prefix">
To

Code Select Expand

<input type="hidden" name="db_prefix" value="$db_prefix">

Still showing in the html tho

   <td class="windowbg2" bgcolor="#F8F8F8" width="400"><font size="2">Database Tables Prefix</font></td>
    <td class="windowbg2" bgcolor="#F8F8F8"><input type="hidden" name="db_prefix" value="walls_"></td>

Then do what I did.  Edit the value to no longer be the variable but just some word.  Then scroll down where it writes out your new Settings.php and hardcode your database information into it.
