Removing Post, Thread and Reply Columns

[LexaFranks]

I was wondering if there is a substitute code to remove the Topic, Post columns. I tried putting the code I'm using on my V4 board but it didn't work.

This is the code I was using


<script>
//Remove "Topics and Posts" column from main page
//wooper
var TD = document.getElementsByTagName("TD")
for(i=0;i<TD.length;i++){
if(TD[i].width == "1%" && TD[i+1].width == "1%")
{
TD[i].style.display ="none";
TD[i+1].style.display ="none";
TD[i-1].colSpan = '1';
}
}
</script>

I'd like to know the answer to this question also. I'd especially like to remove the last post column.

Hiya, is your forum Version 4, or Version 5?
If version 5, I can help

Are you wanting to remove the last post column from the main page, or thread list? Or both?

[Former Member]

Both would be good Stinky666.

Alright. It's all in the same section, so I will do it all as "1 step".
Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Board
On line 35 you should see:
<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>
Add the bits I have below:
<!--<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>-->

Now click the "Board List" tab, and on line 8 you should see:
<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>
Do the same as above, and add <!-- to the start and --> to the end, like so:
<!--<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>-->


Now go down to lines 35 - 45, and you will see:

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

Add <!-- to the start of that, and --> to the end:

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

And finally, click the "Thread List" tab, and go to line 20:
<td class="latest last">by $[thread.last_post.created_by]<br />$[thread.last_post.created_on]</td>

Once again, add <!-- to the start and --> to the end, like so:
<!--<td class="latest last">by $[thread.last_post.created_by]<br />$[thread.last_post.created_on]</td>-->


Click save, and voila

Thank you Stinky666. I really appreciate the above instructions on how to get rid of all the last post columns.

[Former Member]

I just followed your instructions & it worked perfectly.

I want to thank you again for the time you took to post how to hide all the last post columns. I appreciate it.

No worries. You're very welcome. It's always nice when people post a thank you

[Former Member]

You deserve a lot of praise & thank you's for being so helpful Stinky666.

I removed views also now by adding <!-- and --> at the beginning & end of line 34 on Board & by adding <!-- and --> at the beginning & end of line 19 on Thread List.

Brilliant, glad you're learning
That by the way, just comments the code out. Much better than deleting it, so then if you ever want it back, simply remove those characters, and voila. You can do it with basically anything in the Layout Templates.

Seriously though, I am glad you've learned from just that little bit of instructions. It will definitely help you in the future knowing that

[Former Member]

I know, hiding is much better, just in case I change my mind.
I enjoy the challenge of trying to understand the codes.

I also get a kick out of looking at your changing avatars. You're a very pretty wo"man"! lol

Okay, so perhaps I'm a failure... Which I probably am. But I added all of those <!-- and --> where you said, and nothing seems to have happened. I'm trying to remove the whole ROW that is above the board name. 

So if my board name was City or something, above it says board, and then further down it has threads, then numbers under that, and posts, and numbers under that. I want to get rid of the threads, with numbers, posts with numbers and the whole row of board, threads and posts.
