    Remove "Learn" section from main Contour page

    Hi everyone,

    I'm still using Contour 3.0.17 on Umbraco 6.2.5 and when I click the Contour section icon I now get a YSOD window with an error; for some reason http://umbraco.org/documentation/videos/umbraco-pro/contour/feed has begun returning a 404.

    I don't mind that the training videos aren't loading but would obviously like to stop the error from popping up. How can I remove the "Learn" section from the page so that it doesn't try to access the video feed in the first place?

    Thanks :)

    Sounds like you might need to remove a dashboard. You can read about how to do that here: https://code101.net/clean-up-your-umbraco-dashboards-f42b256d539d

    Thanks. That works in a pinch but it's not a perfect solution - Dashboard.config only contains a single entry for all of Contour so commenting it out also removes the "Create" and "Browse and edit" sections. Do you know whether there's a way to remove only "Learn"?

    I tried commenting out the umb:Pane element in umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/FormsDashboard.ascx but that doesn't work either. It does hide "Learn" but still runs the underlying code and therefore still causes an exception.

    I'll let the Umbraco Forms team reply to that one. I suspect this is related to their recent upgrade to a new theme on umbraco.com (seems to have broken a lot of things). If you reach out to @umbraco on Twitter, you might get a quicker response.

    One hacky solution you could try would be to add an entry to your hosts file so umbraco.org resolves to a website on your own server, then ensure the URL http://umbraco.org/documentation/videos/umbraco-pro/contour/feed returns some dummy data that doesn't throw an exception. Though, that may cause other issues (e.g., with other API's/feeds).

    Since this dashboard doesn't provide any functionality you can't do elsewhere, doesn't seem too essential to keep it around (unless your content editors really like it, or something of that sort).

    Someone else has logged the same issue as a bug (http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/CON-1256) so I'll vote on that and leave a comment. It seems that there may be another workaround in FormsDashboard.ascx that I'd missed.

    I don't have easy access to the hosts file - in the interim I've removed the whole dashboard.

    Thanks.
