how to hide the date and time from certain threads or posts
 

How do I hide the date and time from certain threads or posts?

I use the word "hide" because I dont want to remove the date and time forever. I also dont want to mess-up or alter the post sequencing in any way. I just want to make it so that no one can see when certain posts; or posts in certain threads; were made until, or unless, I decide to un-hide them.

There isn't such a default option as far as I can remember. You'd probably have to edit the postbit(_legacy) template and remove it from there. Although that would remove it from all posts.

Yeah, that would remove it from all posts; which doesn't help because I only want to remove it from certain posts.

And I'd already figured there wasn't a default option to do it.

What I'm asking for is a plug-in code or something; basically a hack to tell my board to hide the date and time from the posts or threads I dont want the date and time to appear on.

It seems simple enough to me; something that is certainly possible, given the complex modifications I've come across on this site.

Question is, will somebody show me how to do it?

Don't know if it helps you but here is something you might try.

First, open 'postbit'(or 'postbit_legacy' whichever you use) for edit. Look for:
Add Before:
In the same line find:
Add after:
Replace the number1,number2,etc,etc with the Post ID you want date and time to hide.

Hope it helps.

Yes, it certainly helps. In fact, it works just the way I wanted. Thanks!
