Minimal.

Someone in the Support boards suggested that I post this in Templates.



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



Is there a code somewhere already?



Thanks.

Avatar & Stars - Are these the only things you want removed from the mini-profiles?

No sidebar - just don't add a sidebar and you won't have one

Reply button - do you mean any possible way to reply, including quick reply box?

Related topics box - this will require the purchase of Adfree

Are these the only things you want removed? You will still have an info center, any boards and categories you make, a logo/header/whatever you currently have, a navigation bar, a navigation tree, etc.

Finally, please post the link to your forum

By sidebar, I mean the bit on the left that has your avatar, stars, member status,
number of posts, etc.

Yes, I mean 'No way to reply to this thread or board.

I just want people to see the threads I want them to see. I do not want them to be able to navigate anywhere. My own naivgartion is fine, but not for others.

If you followed my directions on the other thread you created, no one should be able to reply to threads or create them, as long as those settings are set to "staff only" AND you do not promote anyone to staff.

To remove that side section with the avatar and such, find the tab at the top that says "Structure", and select the "Layout Templates" link.

From there, click "Thread", then select the tab called "Post List".

Find the following sections and add what I've marked in red:

<table role="grid">
<tr>
<!--<td class="left-panel" rowspan="2">
$[post.created_by.miniprofile]
</td>-->
<td class="content">

<!--<h3 class="title aria-hidden">Post by $[post.created_by.name] on $[post.created_on]</h3>-->

<td class="foot">
<!--{if $[post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if}
{if $[post.created_by.signature]}
<div class="signature">$[post.created_by.signature]</div>
{/if}-->
</td>

Now, if you've done the above properly and you set posting to staff only and you disabled the quick reply, you should ONLY see this:



Users will not be able to see the reply/quote buttons. They will, however, be able to see the cogwheel, which is required if you want them to be able to link to individual posts.

If you do NOT want the cogwheel visible to guests / members, add what I've marked in purple below on the same page I mentioned earlier:

{if $[current_user.can_admin]}
$[post.select_options]
{else}
&nbsp;
{/if}

Then guests / members should see this:



Hope this is what you wanted.

Just so you know, that sidebar with the avatar and information is called a mini-profile. This also doesn't belong in Template Library but more likely Template Requests, if a staff member online perhaps David Clark, would move it? Up to you guys =)
