Disable welcome screen
Permalink 5 users found helpfulI love the new interface improvements in version 5.5. But there is one thing that's not working for me: the welcome screen. Everytime I log in, I get this "nagscreen", which I have to click away. Can someone tell me how I can disable the welcome screen? And perhaps it would be a good idea to have a checkmark saying "Show welcome screen on logging in", so users can disable it should they want to.
You set a config constant in config/site.php that will disable it. Pretty sure this is it.
define('ENABLE_NEWSFLOW_OVERLAY', False);
Even Micro$oft has a tick to tick away the welcome screen.
It is really a must go away feature. It's really annoying, or at least make it as easy as possible to get rid of it.
This file is probably the closest thing to the old /config/site.php file in 5.6. There are a bunch of other items that can be put in this file as well to tweak settings.
Here are the instructions for 5.7:
- open concrete.php
application\config\concrete.php
- if the concrete.php file does not exist, create it
- paste the following code
<?php return array( /** * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Marketplace settings * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */ 'marketplace' => array( // Enable marketplace integration // this displays the: // - Connect to Community section and button on the Add Functionality page // - Connect to Community section and link on the Update Add-ons page // - Connect to Community section and Connect Now and Learn More buttons on the Get More Themes page // - Connect to Community section and Connect Now and Learn More buttons on the Get More Add-ons page // - default is true
Edit: mesuva beat me to it
I can start login but get to just before the splash screen (everything goes white looking) and the page hangs.
Using in concrete.php, I have disabled 'news_overlay' => true, to 'news_overlay'=> false, and this allows me access but now when I click the sitemap I get 'access denied' in that panel.
I have felt there may be an underlying problem with this site as in the past it has logged me out without warning for no reason when editing.
Thanks as always for any help.

Did you visit: yoursite.com/index.php/ccm/system/upgrade and hit upgrade there?
You would have had to be have been logged in first.
Go to dashboard/System & settings/Interface preferences and you will see the option to turn welcome screen off
Hope this Helps
