Thread / Post Count - How To Hide It ?

[IIAnDoII]

How do i hide the thread / post count on the main forum page.

I dont want members to view how many threads / post there is in one of my sections

Here's a post on how to move those columns around. Just delete them instead - How To Change The Ordering Of The 'Last Post', 'Threads', And 'Posts' columns

That is in the vboptions u can prevent people from seeing post count in a private forum.

Just put a condition around the content in the columns then.

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, x,y)">
<!-- content only shown to members of usergroupid x or y -->
$thread[views]
<else />
-
</if>

Lynne i couldent get this to work im not to good with codes can you tell me what template to add this to and were abouts

thanks

[Lynne]

I don't know which templates. In order for you to figure out which templates, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code.

Also, don't forget to change x,y to the usergroupids you wich to be able to see the thread views.

One of the forumhome_forumbit_* templates (possibly level1_post).

ok im probably realy anoying you all now but...

in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post i found

<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>

which am pritty sure that i need to add the condition before it

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6,7,5,11,10 )">
<!-- content only shown to members of usergroupid 6,7,5,11,10 -->
$forum[threadcount]
$forum[replycount]
<else />
-
</if>

is that correct and sorry to be a pain lads

Thanks for all the help
