Remove Recent Marketplace Extensions

[Kalarah]

Where do you edit to remove Recent Marketplace Extensions from the dashboard. I don't need to see that.

Even if we make an edit to the skin to not show this data, the codebase will still fetch it, consuming a second or two of time.

So, in /admin_abcd/sources/dashboard.index.inc.php, near line 76:

From:
## Get recent extensions
if($GLOBALS['session']->has('recent_extensions')) {

To:
## Get recent extensions
if(true || $GLOBALS['session']->has('recent_extensions')) {

This forces the assumption that we already fetched the list of recent extensions, whether or not we actually did, thus giving an empty result to the skin.

I know it does. But Admins that I add dont need to see those. Now if there was a way that only I can see them, that would be fine.

In the admin template dashboard.index.php, near line 111:

From:

      {if is_array($RECENT_EXTENSIONS)}

To:

      {if is_array($RECENT_EXTENSIONS) && $smarty.session.__admin_data.super_user}

This will have the Recent Extensions shown for "Super Admins". Super Admins have universal power.

Non-Super Admins do not have universal power but rather have any number of permissions granted appropriate to their delegated responsibilities.
