Hi,
I've managed to remove the pulldown menu “write access” but I can not remove the title or label that is attached to this menu. I also do not know how to set access on private because default write access is public. please help!!
I have only modified the code in: mod/page/views/default/input/ write_access
You can remove the form elements by overwriting the form view - create your replacement view in the same directory structure as the original, just in your plugin. eg. if the original is at mod/pages/views/default/forms/pages/add.php you would create a modified version at mod/<myplugin>/views/default/forms/pages/add.php
Secondly, you can hook into the action where the page is saved and hard code the write access.
Note that this isn't copy/paste code, it's an example. You'll have to look to find the real location of the view, name of the action, and name of the input variable.
So I should not directly modify the code of the plugin ‘page’, but create a new plugin (with another name) and hook into the page. is it valid for all other modifications I intend to do to this plugin?And if it's not to mutch to ask,could you explain it a little bit more to me.
You are correct, you shouldn't modify the pages plugin directly: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Dont_Modify_Core
If you didn't understand the above description then you probably need to familiarize yourself with Elgg views and actions

ok,thanks.
