I am also looking to have this functionality disabled, as my client has a number o employees logged in to the back end of VM and he does not want the update feature available for all to see.

@davidb34ni
I am currently looking through the backend to see if I can apply the display:none css command to the <span class="liveupdate-icon-updates">

I will report back with any news

Hi, no news? I am also searching for...

OK, I managed in this way:

In the file:

/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/liveupdate/liveupdate.php

I commented the row:

$updateInfo = self::getUpdateInformation();

So, the condition's check

if(!$updateInfo->supported) {

Get "true"... And the update seems as "not supported"

(This is in version 2.0.8e)

You may want to disable the link altogether since someone might click on it to "see what happens" and they will be redirected to the "Live Update Page" with the "Update to the latest version" link at the bottom. 

I did this to avoid that go back to the liveupdate.php page and change:

Code Select Expand

return '<div class="icon"><a href="'.$url.'">'.
'<div><img src="'.$img.'" width="32" height="32" border="0" align="middle" style="float: none" /></div>'.
'<span class="'.$class.'">'.$lbl.'</span></a></div>';

To this:

Code Select Expand

return '<div class="icon"><a href="'#'">'.
'<div><img src="'.$img.'" width="32" height="32" border="0" align="middle" style="float: none" /></div>'.
'<span class="'.$class.'">'.$lbl.'</span></a></div>';

Thank you!

It slowed my backend site.

It didn't work for me the way you said (adriespo and hollywooood). But I managed it some other way, easier, I think ...
Here it is:

open the file: /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/liveupdate/liveupdate.php

find this block:

Code Select Expand

return '<div class="icon"><a href="'.$url.'">'.
'<div><img src="'.$img.'" width="32" height="32" border="0" align="middle" style="float: none" /></div>'.
'<span class="'.$class.'">'.$lbl.'</span></a></div>';
and in the first line change the "icon" class to "stopupdateicon" like this:

Code Select Expand

return '<div class="stopupdateicon"><a href="'.$url.'">'.
'<div><img src="'.$img.'" width="32" height="32" border="0" align="middle" style="float: none" /></div>'.
'<span class="'.$class.'">'.$lbl.'</span></a></div>';
Save and close the file (of course you should upload it back if you have worked on your local computer.

Now, in the back-end of your Joomla site, go to :
Extensions/Template Manager/Templates/"Bluestork Details and Files" (or another template if you are using another template for your backend)

and open the file "template.css"

At the bottom of it just add this line:

Code Select Expand

.stopupdateicon { display:none; }


That's it!
