Simplify Edit Table

The Simplify Edit Table download can now be found here.

ExpressionEngine is used as a CMS just as much, if not more, than a blogging tool or for community sites.  In many of these situations, Comments and Trackbacks aren’t used (trackbacks just need to die anyway), and that adds clutter to the control panel Edit page that these users could do without.

This extension is very specific in what it does, and fair warning that the regex that does it is quick, but it’s max ugly.  So don’t look at it.  Or me.  I just started learning regex a couple days ago, alright!?

This extension removes the Comments and Trackbacks columns from the table on the control panel Edit page.  Or you can use this extension as a springboard to do the modifications that you want to the Edit page.
