Remove Comment Counter

[Itchdog]

Hi. I run a news and current events forum with SMF 2.1.7 and the latest version of TP. Is there a way to remove the comments information at the bottom of a post on the frontpage (see image). I couldn't find a setting for this. If it requires a file edit, can you point me to which file?

Also, I'd like to remove the "views" info at the top of the image as well.

Thanks.

This is not configurable. The only way to remove those fields for forum posts on the frontpage is to make code changes to file Article.php

This will get rid of the "views"
File: \TinyPortal\Article.php

Find

Code Select Expand

              if (!isset($context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'])) {
                    $context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'] = 'date,title,author,views' . ($context['TPortal']['forumposts_avatar'] == 1 ? ',avatar' : '');
                }
and change to

Code Select Expand

                if (!isset($context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'])) {
                    $context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'] = 'date,title,author' . ($context['TPortal']['forumposts_avatar'] == 1 ? ',avatar' : '');
                }

And to get rid of the comments sections...

File TPsubs.template.php

find

Code Select Expand

function article_boardnews($render = true)
{
global $context, $scripturl, $txt;

if (!isset($context['TPortal']['article']['replies'])) {
return;
}
and change to

Code Select Expand

function article_boardnews($render = true)
{
global $context, $scripturl, $txt;

// if (!isset($context['TPortal']['article']['replies'])) {
return;
// }
return;

Awesome! Thanks so much @rjen.

After your question I was looking into this functionality and noticed that there is very limited control on the layout for these topics on the frontpage.

I may add some options for this in the Frontpage settings in the next version
