[Template]Remove Posts/Threads & Views/Replies bar

[pawl]

This came up as a request, and I was in the middle of doing it myself anyway, so I thought I'd just post it here too.

---

Removing the "Posts & Threads" bar from the main page.


Admin Home -> Themes -> Layout Templates -> Board
Then navigate to the Board List tab.

Look at lines 2-10 and add the text in red.

<!-- <thead>
<tr>
<th class="icon"></th>
<th class="main">Board</th>
<th class="threads">Threads</th>
<th class="posts">Posts</th>
<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>
</tr>
</thead> -->


This will stop the row from displaying on the main page, without actually deleting the code itself. This means if you want to display it again in the future, the code is still there to use. =]

Also, if you want to have the words 'threads' and 'posts' in the appropriate cells, then look at lines 33 and 34, and make the appropriate changes again.

<td class="threads">{if $[board.threads] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.threads]{/if} thread{if $[board.threads] != 1}s{/if}</td>
<td class="posts">{if $[board.posts] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.posts]{/if} post{if $[board.posts] != 1}s{/if}</td>


I also made the following changes to lines 36-45;

<td class="latest last">
{if $[board.posts] > 0}
{if $[board.last_thread]}
Last post: $[board.last_thread.recent_link]<br />
by $[board.last_thread.last_post.created_by_user]<!-- <br />
<span class="date">$[board.last_thread.last_post.date]</span> -->
{/if}
{else}
No posts have been made on this board.
{/if}
</td>



Removing the "Views & Replies" bar from the thread-list page.

Same idea;
Admin Home -> Themes -> Layout Templates -> Board
You'll want the Board tab to begin with, lines 27-37, adding the red text again.

<!-- <thead>
<tr class="head">
<th class="icon"><span class="aria-hidden">Status</span> </th>
<th class="checkbox"> </th>
<th class="main">Subject</th>
<th class="created-by">Created By</th>
<th class="replies">Replies</th>
<th class="views">Views</th>
<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>
</tr>
</thead> -->



Once you've done this, head over to the Thread List tab, lines 17 to 20. This is where you want to add any additional explanation text before or after the numbers.

As an example, here's the one I've used;

<td class="created-by clickable">by $[thread.created_by_user]</td>
<td class="replies clickable">$[thread.replies] repl{if $[thread.num_posts] == 2}y{else}ies{/if}</td>
<td class="views">$[thread.views] view{if $[thread.views] != 1}s{/if}</td>
<td class="latest last">Last post by $[thread.last_post.created_by_user]<br />$[thread.last_post.date]</td>

In these examples, the green text is replaced by the appropriate numbers/words on the page, so you can work out where you want to add your text.




Edit; added [Template] to title.

If you dont want the numbers bunched up next to the words add " & nbsp;" (without the space between & and the n) and it will separate them.

Also, if you want to have the words 'threads' and 'posts' in the appropriate cells, then look at lines 33 and 34, and make the appropriate changes again.

<td class="threads">{if $[board.threads] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.threads]{/if} add herethreads</td>
<td class="posts">{if $[board.posts] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.posts]{/if} add hereposts</td>

Not needed mate - the examples I gave are the same ones that're being used here, I promise. The code is based around HTML, which means it will accept text, spaces and all. =]

Humm when I just added it they were not separated. and I followed just as you explained, I wonder what may cause that???

EDIT: My bad It works as you said
Thank you!

Not a problem mate. Let me know if you have any more trouble with it. =]

See my edit ^^ thanks
When I inserted the text I inadvertently did not leave a space between /if}HEREThreads</td>

I went back and fixed it

Thank you once again

Whats nice is that could be a common mistake people with fat fingers like I have and they would be able to watch for that.

That's why you should always double check your work, and keep a backup of the original settings. ;]

It would be nice if you posted a screenshot of how it looks.

I can't get the following to work on my test forum:

<td class="threads">{if $[board.threads] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.threads]{/if} thread{if $[board.threads] != 1}s{/if}</td>
<td class="posts">{if $[board.posts] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.posts]{/if} post{if $[board.posts] != 1}s{/if}</td>

What exactly isn't working, @ritab? =]

[Former Member]

The words "Threads" and "Posts" aren't on the title bar with "General" - check out the link to my test forum pawl.

I get the feeling that's not where you intend them to be and where I see them is where they are supposed to be. Does that make sense? LOL

Screen shots can be soooo very helpful….

[Former Member]

Sorry - what I see on my test forum is as it should be, yes?

Would it be possible to put Threads and Posts above the figures rather than alongside please pawl?

[pawl]

Ahh, see what you're trying to do.
The bit you highlighted in red before is to determine whether the text below shows an 's' or not - like 1 post / 3 posts

Right at the top of your Board List template, see if you have a <thead>...</thead>
If so, replace it with this;

<table class="list" role="grid">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="icon"></th>
<th class="main">Board</th>
<th class="threads">Threads</th>
<th class="posts">Posts</th>
<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>
</tr>
</thead>



Then, from the code you posted earlier with the red highlights, remove the red highlighted bits. =P

[Former Member]

I did that pawl but it puts everything back how it was. :/

The top of my board list template looks like this now:

<table class="list" role="grid">
<table class="list" role="grid">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="icon"></th>
<th class="main">Board</th>
<th class="threads">Threads</th>
<th class="posts">Posts</th>
<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>
</tr>
</thead>
