Hide “View all site content” on a blog website

Question

The desire is to remove the "All site content" link from the quick launch menu on all sites.

I have removed it from our master page. However when I now go to a site that has been created using a blog site template, the link is back!

Has anyone experienced this before and how can I handle this issue?

edit

I have deleted the following section from the masterpage :

<li>
                            <!-- For normal settings replace the permissionstring with the original: PermissionsString="ViewFormPages"-->
                            <SharePoint:ClusteredSPLinkButton
                                id="idNavLinkViewAllV4"
                                runat="server"                                  
                                PermissionsString="ManageWeb"
                                NavigateUrl="~site/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx"
                                ImageClass="s4-specialNavIcon"
                                ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/fgimg.png"
                                ImageWidth=16
                                ImageHeight=16
                                OffsetX=0
                                OffsetY=0
                                Text="<%$Resources:wss,quiklnch_allcontent_short%>"
                                accesskey="<%$Resources:wss,quiklnch_allcontent_AK%>"/>
                        </li>

But the "All site content" button is still visible on sites using the Blog site template.

I mean this button:

I don't think you need to remove sections from your master page to hide 'View all site content'.

It can be hidden using any of the methods:

1. PermissionsString in the ClusteredSPLinkButton for your site is currently 'ManageWeb'. This means that possibly only site collection admins can see the link in your site. PermissionsString property controls the security of the control. You can decide to display the link to certain group of people while hiding it for the others.

2. You can give an additional parameter of 'Visible="False"' inside the ClusteredSPLinkButton. This should probably hide the control for all.

3. You can also simply add css style to hide the whole quick launch control or just the 'View All site content'.

   <style> #ct100_PlaceHolderLeftNavBar_idNavLinkViewAll { Visiblity:hidden; }

   /* for entire QuickLaunch */

   .ms-navframe{display:none;} </style>

On a blog post on my blog site, I have a post mentioning using jquery to hide that link here is a link post that explains how to do this. I hope you will find it helpful.

Basically, use jquery to find the link text relative to the html tag and hide it.

thanks

You must change your system masterpage, not your site masterpage. But, be careful that this will cause potential headache in the future.

First, enable the publishing feature on that site, under site action->site setting->site feature. Now you can change your system and site masterpage under site action -> site setting->masterpage.
