    Voting plugin ads... a voting plugin :) with views, comments follows and votes.

    I would like to know how to display only Views and Comments squares.
    Just like vanillaforums is using here

    use CSS to hide other stuff you donot want to display.
    user firebug to get the element you want to hide and give it display:none in CSS

  • Thanks @sahotataran that's a good solution. But why loading it without using it :)

  • sahotataransahotataran Developer, Bay Area - CA ✭✭✭

    because customising the plugin is more difficult than just editing the CSS - a simple solution.
    Also the vanilla Developers TODD LINCOLN and TIM emphasise on just hiding using CSS not only because its easy but also you can update the plugin and you know whats main job to do - just change it in CSS rather than not being able to update plugin - but if you do update then get ready for a difficult job again - to hide the stuff you donot want

  • Looking at this way, you are totally right. Thank you so much for the clear reply!

    Done it your way and it is perfect

    Thanks again

    The best way to do this is to create it as part of your custom theme. You can look at the changes the Voting plugin makes and incorporate them into your theme. If you're not comfortable doing that, then @422's suggestion is a good, sustainable hack.
