How to semove "Compare Clean compare cart" and sorting form from section page

Hello, first of all... did you check if your template is compatible with Cobalt and vice versa? It looks like the typical "bootstrap CSS" styling is missing. Your template is an older one from RocketTheme club, right? You might enable "template compatibility" in Cobalt backend -> Config

(PS: I wonder why the compare message and button is displayed... As far as I know, it is only visible if you have selected something.)

Compare

Anyways, do you want to hide the upper compare area or do you really want to disable the entire functionality? To disable it you have to go to YourType -> Properties -> Compare articles "Do not allow article compare"

Submit here

go to Your-Type -> Submission Parameters tab -> Who can submit "Select ACL..."
(additionally you can also hide submission links in Section's markup template. See below how to get to Section Menu -> Menu Elements -> New Records)

Alpha Index A-Z

go to Your-Section -> General parameters tab -> Templates -> Markup layout "default" (click edit button!)
In modal window -> General Parameters tab -> Alpha Index -> Enable alpha index "No"

Sorting / Ordering

Also in modal window -> Section Menu tab -> Menu Elements -> Records ordering "Select ACL..."
(alternatively you can hide and restrict separate sorting elements. See Who can order by parameters)

Hope this helps.

It uses BS class hide. So if there is no BS there is no hide.

This helped indeed thank you very much for this but: After changing the above i get the following error on top of the main content area: Error loading component: home/language/public_html/latest/components/com_cobalt/library/php/community/com_cobalt, Component not found.

Confirmed

There seems to be a bug with Joomla 3.6.0 and Cobalt global configuration -> Community Integration parameter.
It does not show the correct file and name, instead it lists the "paths" as values.
I am going to create a new forum topic and report this issue to "Sergey":

• Cobalt Configuration - Community Integration - wrong select values and error

Thanks for the replay. I'm waiting for the solution

jordantsap I'm waiting for the solution

You are welcome. I have updated the related topic. It is definitely a Joomla 3.6.0 bug I have found a pull-request for a fix of two related files. Seems to work. Currently, this is an independant issue from up-coming 3.6.1 release...
I think they are going to merge it.

AFAIK, this issue has been solved already.

BTW, there were other forum posts with the same topic. Always try to search before posting. If you have a new issue or question, open a NEW topic with a proper title. That helps others and support to find and answer. Thanks in advance.

Do you use the latest Cobalt release? Please, check downloads! Current package is 8.719

There might be another updated release on Thursday. Insider-Tip: Always check downloads on Thursdays ;)
