remove VOTE from voting plugin

thekillingtree

ah nvm, just manually added it to all the spans i didn't want. crash course in css, ha.

peregrine

if you don't want to have to hide it with css and never have it sent or shown``

just comment it out in the plugin. you don't have to mess with css.

all you have to do is go into class.voting.plugin.php look around line 120.
and add the two lines shown that say "add this line"

/*  add this line
    // Votes
    if ($Session->IsValid()) {
        echo Wrap(Anchor(
            Wrap(T('Votes')) . Gdn_Format::BigNumber($CountVotes),
            '/vanilla/discussion/votediscussion/'.$Discussion->DiscussionID.'/'.$Session->TransientKey().'?Target='.urlencode($Sender->SelfUrl),
            '',
            array('title' => T('Vote'))
        ), 'div', array('class' => 'StatBox VotesBox'));
    } else {
        echo Wrap(Wrap(T('Votes')) . $CountVotes, 'div', array('class' => 'StatBox VotesBox'));
    }
*/  // add this line

We were using Voting plugin like this for a while but i did not like that the ajax posting funtionality was compromised (when posting a comment for example)

we are now happily using peregrines plugin AuthorTimeView (thanks @peregrine in combination with vanilla's built in bookmark discussion function.

the only difference is that users don't see how many other user bookmarked a discussion, which is fine. apart from that discussion view is much cleaner now

@peregrine your way disables voting but the voting per comment in discussion still displays.

how can I also remove it?

peregrine

• around line 208 either
• add a return in the line below the function,
• or remove the entire function totally (if you understand how to do that).

 public function DiscussionController_BeforeCommentMeta_Handler($Sender) {
 // add the line below           
  return;

These replies are great about removing the counts on the index. But on each thread there is still a vote count option that I would like to remove. I am only using this mod to add the comments and views to the thread index.

change in class.voting.plugin.php

public function DiscussionController_BeforeCommentMeta_Handler($Sender) {
    // add the line below       
return;

@peregrine I'm looking at that code, do I remove stuff, or just add this in there? Mine looks like this

public function DiscussionController_BeforeCommentMeta_Handler($Sender) { // if (!C('Plugins.Voting.Enabled')) // return;

peregrine

public function DiscussionController_BeforeCommentMeta_Handler($Sender) {
return; 
// if (!C('Plugins.Voting.Enabled')) 
// return;

you could either remove the whole function, or leave everything intact with the one line addition.
