Im trying to modify a part of my site to look more like news articles than threads.

Example:

http://www.streethop.com/forum/article.php?t=151704

I want to remove the following bits:

Plus at the bottom Id like to remove the rules and forum jump.

What files/templates do I need to edit?

which article system, which vb?

Im not running any articles system, Ive just renamed showthread.php to articles.php, so if there are file edits they need to apply to showthread.php

i think this may work, it's simple and "dirty" and it's only a matter of editing the SHOWTHREAD template and you don't need to touch the php file.

find $header, $navbar, $forumrules, $forumjump, $footer and comment each out, i.e. add  after each string. in other words, find $header and replace with , etc. etc.

let me know if it works.

Hmm suprisingly that did nothing...

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
	<!--$headinclude-->
	<title>$thread[title]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
</head>
<body onload="$onload">
<!--$header-->
<!--$navbar-->

Did nothing... :S

Its a child style, maybe that has some effect?

The quick and dirty method which I revmove the nav bar from certain pages, is to remove the following line from the script you don't want it showing in:

Code:

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

All that does is stops it from actually displaying the results.

and then remove $navbar from the template, just be be double sure.

I've never had any problems doing it that way.

well, i'm stumped. perhaps i've suggested the wrong template. maybe it isn't the showthread template. ne1 know why the template mod didn't work?

Ok well Ive done this:

http://www.streethop.com/forum/article.php?p=387280

Ive also removed the quick reply as it stretched the template.

Last thing I think, how do I make it so that similar threads pulls from a specific forum and not the whole board, but only in one of the forums.

Also, how do I set it so that one of the forums displays threads by creation date, newest at the top?
