Publish Improve

Current Version: 2.0.1

This module allows you to remove the Quick Save button, as well as make the following changes to your ExpressionEngine install. It works with 1.6.8, 1.6.7, 1.6.6, and perhaps a lot of earlier versions, too.

One thing to note: after it’s installed, it still doesn’t do anything until you set the preferences. So don’t forget to do that.

Here’s what it does:
Publish: Add some text beside indecipherable Upload Button.
Publish: Change or remove the Submit/Update button.
Publish: Change or remove the Quick Save button.
Publish: Change or remove the Preview button.
Publish: Add a “Save As New Copy” checkbox (totally handy)
Publish: Add a tiny link beside the URL Title to view the current entry on the live site.
Publish: Make the “Email” toolbar button better behaved: Leave out the title when it ought to.
Publish: Remove the image button you’ve never used from the toolbar.
Publish: Simplify all user date fields by removing non-essential buttons and links.
Publish: Put the cursor in the Title field faster—AND only if there isn’t already something in the field.
Publish: Add the current date as a number to new URL titles. This is handy for Google News usage.
Site: Remove the “My Account” tab.
Site: Remove the “Modules” tab.
Home Page: Add a link to CP Home Page that lets you edit the CP Home Page (handy!).
Templates: Tab button inserts a tab character like you expect—makes it way easier to edit templates.
