[Request] Remove/hide 'created by' column

[Former Member]

Is it possible to remove or hide the 'Created by' column please.

In your conversations list template, look for this, and add the bold;

{if $[outbox]}
<td class="recipients">
$[conversation.recipients]
</td>
<!--{else}
<td class="created-by">
$[conversation.created_by_user]
</td>
-->{/if}

That will get rid of the column, but leave its counterpart in your outbox, so you know who you've sent messages to. This column doesn't have the same issue that the Created By does (assuming I know why you're getting rid of it, which I think I do. =P)


Then look for this, and again, add in the bold;

{if !$[conversation]}
<tr class="last">
<td class="last center" colspan="{if $[outbox]}6{else}5{/if}">No messages were found</td>
</tr>
{/if}

That bit just makes sure that if the inbox/outbox are empty then the cells display properly - the 5 is for your inbox, where the cell now has to take up one less column, because we've just removed one, the 6 is the default for your outbox, where nothing has changed.


That should get you all set. =]

Thanks for this pawl, sorry for not explaining what I wanted properly. I just wanted to remove the column with regards to threads, I hadn't even considered the column in the PM system.

It's the 'Created by' column as in the following link - wellieswheelbarrows.proboards.com/board/62/days-out-travelogues-where-live

PS which of the default smilies here is the rollseyes smilie?

Bump.

[pawl]

Oops >_<
Heading off for the night (wasn't planning on a proper trip back, just a post to let the staff know that I'd be back in a day or two once I'd fully recovered from my holiday, haha), but I should be done with work at about 10 tomorrow, so leave it with me. =]

[Former Member]

Bump.

[pawl]

Oh yeah, forgot about this. >_<
Do you want the text to display anywhere else, or just gone completely?

[Former Member]

Just gone completely please pawl.

[pawl]

Okay, here we go;

Thread List Template; Line 17 as default, remove.
<td class="created-by clickable">$[thread.created_by_user]</td>

Line 24 (after removing 17, originally 25), edit bold.
<td class="last center" colspan="6">No threads were found.</td>

Board Template, line 32, remove.
<th class="created-by">Created By</th>

Style Sheet, approx lines 868-872, make edits in bold.
.threads .main { width: 55%; text-align: @thread_align_subject; }
.threads .created-by { width: 14%; text-align: @thread_align_created_by; }
.threads .replies { width: 9%; text-align: @thread_align_replies; }
.threads .views { width: 8%; text-align: @thread_align_views; }
.threads .latest { width: 20%; text-align: @thread_align_last_post; }


That should do you. =]

[Former Member]

Thank you very much pawl.

[pawl]

No worries. =]

[Former Member]

Style sheet edits you've only put one set of figures bold pawl.

[pawl]

Yeah, realised that after I hit send, only needs the one. Just added 14% (from created by) to the main cell. Feel free to play with those figures. =P

Cheers thanks Paul - looking ok on my test forum.
