Simple minimalist board required.

[kerryecho]

I want a board with no avatar, no stars, no sidebar and no reply button. No reply box, no related topics box. I just want the contents I have entered into the board without any adornment. Is there a code somewhere already? Thanks.

[kerryecho]

Ooh! Also No time when it was created and no time of last edit. Really stripped back.

I don't know about the other stuff, but the 'related topics' box can only be removed if you have adfree.

[kerryecho]

Thanks. I will go adfree if I can get it to look how I want. Catch 22!

Re-reading your post, I'm not sure what you want if you have a forum with no reply box. Are you trying to make a blank website?

[kerryecho]

Not blank, I just don't want an avatar or stars on the left. I don't want a reply box (maybe I can switch that off) or a 'related topics' box that you tell me I can get rid of with ad-free. I also don't want it to say when it was made or when it was edited. I should think they are all fairly easy for the code geniuses that roam around in here.
I haven't used proboards in a long time and I have forgotten how a lot of it works, but I'm sure it will come back to me.
I want to be able to display information with links etc, but I don't want any replies to that information.

kerryecho.freeforums.net/thread/21/categories like this info with no replies required.

Is that how you want all of your boards? Or only some?

It'll be fairly simple to do what you want, I think. Minor layout template editing, but it's mostly settings.

I assume you want to be able to post stuff yourself? Do you plan on allowing members (or even having them?)

[kerryecho]

I don't plan on any for now. I just want people to be able to read the info and click on links as required. I may need a discussion board or two in the future, but now for now. Could you see the page I liked to above? I just want people to see the info.

[Kami]

Okay. Did you plan on editing this content? Because you'll need to see a reply/new thread button if so.

Regardless of the above, what you'll want to do first is go to your admin panel and select forum settings:
-disable quick reply
-modify board permissions (under "Structure" > "Categories & Boards") to staff only for create threads & reply to threads
-disable registrations

The rest will require you editing your layout templates, but do the above first and see if it gets you closer to what you'd like.

[kerryecho]

Thanks you, That looks pretty good. Does this now apply to ALL threads?

[Kami]

All threads created in that board. If you create more boards, you will have to manually set the permissions on each one upon creation.

If you disable registrations & quick reply as well, that is global

[kerryecho]

Thanks!

[Kami]

Not a problem :]
