show topic only

GregY · July 2007

I'd like to be able to get rid of the information shown underneath the post in the index, so i can only show the topic text, any way to do this? (Probably an extension right?)

I don't think you'll need an extension for that, all you need is to create a new theme and just copy discussion.php from your theme folder to the new theme then omit line 20 through 45 so discussion.php should look like this:


<?php
// Note: This file is included from the library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Control.SearchForm.php
// class and also from the library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Control.DiscussionForm.php's
// themes/discussions.php include template.

$UnreadUrl = GetUnreadQuerystring($Discussion, $this->Context->Configuration, $CurrentUserJumpToLastCommentPref);
$NewUrl = GetUnreadQuerystring($Discussion, $this->Context->Configuration, 1);
$LastUrl = GetLastCommentQuerystring($Discussion, $this->Context->Configuration, $CurrentUserJumpToLastCommentPref);

$DiscussionList .= '
<li id="Discussion_'.$Discussion->DiscussionID.'" class="Discussion'.$Discussion->Status.($Discussion->CountComments == 1?' NoReplies':'').($this->Context->Configuration['USE_CATEGORIES'] ? ' Category_'.$Discussion->CategoryID:'').($Alternate ? ' Alternate' : '').'">
   <ul>
      <li class="DiscussionType">
         <span>'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('DiscussionType').'</span>'.DiscussionPrefix($this->Context, $Discussion).'
      </li>
      <li class="DiscussionTopic">
         <span>'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('DiscussionTopic').'</span><a href="'.$UnreadUrl.'">'.$Discussion->Name.'</a>
      </li>
      ';
    
   $this->DelegateParameters['Discussion'] = &$Discussion;
   $this->DelegateParameters['DiscussionList'] = &$DiscussionList;
   
   $this->CallDelegate('PostDiscussionOptionsRender');
   
$DiscussionList .= '</ul>
</li>';   
?>

And you're done!

you can do this via the .css. i'm using a little extension on my own site that i whipped together that allows each user to toggle which info they want to see, among a couple other little tweaks. if you'd like to give it a shot, let me know. bit safer to do it via the stylesheet in my opinion, but YMMV. just set the elements you don't want to display:none;
