I'm trying to find out how to use the _template overrides option in Sphinx to override the default ReadTheDocs theme for hosting Sphinx documentation on http://readthedocs.org.
Specifically, I'm wanting to remove/hide the "Edit on Github" link shown in the upper right hand corner of this theme.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I've reviewed the documentation here: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/templating.html, however, I'm stumped and really need some help.
Thank you!
The Read the Docs documentation has similar instructions: https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/remove-edit-buttons.html#. So perhaps there've been underlying code changes since the original answer was posted.
My needs was very similar but not exactly the same. I wanted to both remove this link for generated pages ("search" and "genindex"), and change the link text because we use framagit as a project hosting.
Here is my version at the end:
{%- extends "sphinx_rtd_theme/breadcrumbs.html" %}
{% block breadcrumbs_aside %}
<li class="wy-breadcrumbs-aside">
{% if hasdoc(pagename) and pagename != "search" and pagename != "genindex" %}
<a href="{{ meta['framagit_url'] }}" class="fa fa-bitbucket"> {{ _('Edit on FramaGit') }}</a>
{% endif %}
</li>
{% endblock %}
