a lot of the stuff in forumhome template I can't find.... but I am running 3.5.1

The code could possibly have changed between 3.5.1 and 3.5.2. I'll see about looking it up later and see if I can find what has changed.

[peterska2]

I've checked it on 3.5.1 and everything as described appears as indicated.

If you can't find it try searching for a small section of the find text and replace the section as indicated. It could be different if you have modified the template already or installed a custom style that modified the template.

thx a lot :)

Does it stop the number of queries the board is doing, or does it simply just remove the visibilty of the counts (so the forum is still running the query).

[Chadi]

Any way to remove thread/posts count only from forumhome?

[peterska2]

@ robert_2004: it just removes the displayed info and does not touch the php code therefore does not reduce the amount of queries.

@chadi: via conditional - yes. Am I writing it - No.

[megnin]

Thanks. I'm trying to "prune" all the non-essentials like "Display Options", most menus, welcome message and such.
This will help.

I've checked it on 3.5.1 and everything as described appears as indicated.
Ditto: Tested on 3.5.4 and it works perfectly. All the code as indicated in the txt file was present in 3.5.4. I had no problems whatsoever doing these edits.

Thank you for sharing this peterska, i have been looking for it and happy to finally find this modification thanks to Daniel (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=997353#post997353) ...Be well -

Any way to remove thread/posts count only from forumhome?
That's what I'd like too.

Is it just a matter of doing only the modifications on the forumhome template?

Also, I'm using 3.5.1 and could not find the following in FORUMHOMEFIND



<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>

<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>



DELETE IT

[peterska2]

If you have modified templates, then code could be in different places.

Please note this this modification is unsupported, and that no updates are planned for it.

[SCI]

Could you just edit the forumhome, forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates of your Mod to take threads and posts off of the forumhome only?

Would this work?

I just don't like getting rid of the reply counts in forumdisplay.

[peterska2]

It should do, logically there is no reason why it wouldn't

Can Someone Do This For 3.60.

[peterska2]

I have not tried it, but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Try it on a test style first though.

Porting of this modification to 3.6 will be done by myself if required as soon as I get some free time available where I also have a net connection and am therefore able to do so. Permission will not be given to anyone else to port it.

Didn' Work,but I Tryed Somin Else And Got Tha Forum Home Threads And Posts Off...thats All I Wanted Anyway...thx

[dodge]

Just installed it on Version 3.6.2 and seems to be working well.
Thx Kerry-Anne

[John Diver]

I'm having one problem, there is a blank column.

I could be because I couldn't find this code:

<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>

I got everything else though.

Thanks, great hack :)

[myown]

is there any thing for 3.7 Gold ?

[BeerLuver]

Just posted this for Hiding Thread Views on 3.7.1+ versions... I'm sure with a lil tweaking, you could delete the Replies column easily enough following this same info in a sense ...

If anyone figures this out for 3.8, that would be awesome.
