Unread Posts Link

[ARG01]

Any idea on how to get rid of the "Unread Posts" link that at the top right of each board Category? I removed it from default/Languages/index.english.php but it's still showing. Cannot find it in any other file.

It's part of SMF so I think it cannot be removed

[ARG01]

I am sure it can be removed. Anything file can be edited to add or remove elements but I just cannot seem to locate it.

Did you look into the Index.php? I'm sure it will not be far away from the top.

Look in ./themes/default/index.template.php

Which theme do you use?

Search for <li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li> and replace it with <!-- <li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li> -->

@ live627. I am using Curve for the moment. Your solution had no effect but I appreciate the try. 

@ Yoshi, the index.php only contains this:

Code Select Expand

<?php

// Try to handle it with the upper level index.php. (it should know what to do.)
if (file_exists(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/index.php'))
include (dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/index.php');
else
exit;

?>

There are two links at the top of the forum

# Show unread posts since last visit.
# Show new replies to your posts.

You want to remove the top one? What happens if you delete the code snippet I posted above? Also note you need to do that for each custom theme you plan on using

[ARG01]

No, I need to remove this Unread Posts link.

Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php

Code (Find) Select Expand


if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && !empty($category['show_unread']))
echo '
<a class="unreadlink" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;c=', $category['id'], '">', $txt['view_unread_category'], '</a>';


Remove those 3 lines, or comment them out by replacing them with:

Code Select Expand


/*
if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && !empty($category['show_unread']))
echo '
<a class="unreadlink" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;c=', $category['id'], '">', $txt['view_unread_category'], '</a>';
*/

Thanx Allusion, much appreciated.

Hey Allusion, I have one more for you. I also need to remove the Last Post link that shows while viewing a category.

Code (Find) Select Expand


// Show a "select all" box for quick moderation?
if (empty($context['can_quick_mod']))
echo '
<th scope="col" class="smalltext last_th" width="22%"><a href="', $scripturl, '?board=', $context['current_board'], '.', $context['start'], ';sort=last_post', $context['sort_by'] == 'last_post' && $context['sort_direction'] == 'up' ? ';desc' : '', '">', $txt['last_post'], $context['sort_by'] == 'last_post' ? ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sort_' . $context['sort_direction'] . '.gif" alt="" />' : '', '</a></th>';
else
echo '
<th scope="col" class="smalltext" width="22%"><a href="', $scripturl, '?board=', $context['current_board'], '.', $context['start'], ';sort=last_post', $context['sort_by'] == 'last_post' && $context['sort_direction'] == 'up' ?

Code (Replace with) Select Expand


// Show a "select all" box for quick moderation?
if (empty($context['can_quick_mod']))
echo '
<th scope="col" class="smalltext last_th" width="22%"></th>';
else
echo '
<th scope="col" class="smalltext" width="22%"></th>';


If the replacement code doesn't work well in some browsers, try this instead:

Code Select Expand


// Show a "select all" box for quick moderation?
if (empty($context['can_quick_mod']))
echo '
<th scope="col" class="smalltext last_th" width="22%">&nbsp;</th>';
else
echo '
<th scope="col" class="smalltext" width="22%">&nbsp;</th>';

Ok, I'll give it a whirl. Thanx. 

[ARG01]

Success. Thanx again Allusion.

Is it possible to remove the whole section below the "Unread Posts" completely?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

G1, happy to see you got it sorted out, I'll mark this topic solved.

Anything is possible, but I suggest you start a new topic for your question.
