Removing Re in Boardindex.template.php

[Biology Forums]

Using 1.1.13, how do I remove that re: etcetc... I just want the title without the Re...

Easy way to do it is to edit the text string for it, I can't tell you exactly what to edit as I don't use 1.1.13 but you need to look in index.english.php and search for

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

'Re: ';

In 2.0 it the text string looks like

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

$txt['response_prefix'] = 'Re: ';

It will probably be a bit different in your version but the Re: part will be the same

Change the

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

'Re: ';

To

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

' ';

No, that won't work.  The 'Re:' is included in the variable $board['last_post']['link'].  Have to find where that variable is put together.

Ok, here's a workaround -

In BoardIndex.template.php

Find this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna



/* The board's and children's 'last_post's have:
time, timestamp (a number that represents the time.), id (of the post), topic (topic id.),
link, href, subject, start (where they should go for the first unread post.),
and member. (which has id, name, link, href, username in it.) */
if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
echo '
<b>', $txt[22], '</b>  ', $txt[525], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'] , '<br />
', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $board['last_post']['link'], '<br />
', $txt[30], ' ', $board['last_post']['time'];




Change it to this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna



/* The board's and children's 'last_post's have:
time, timestamp (a number that represents the time.), id (of the post), topic (topic id.),
link, href, subject, start (where they should go for the first unread post.),
and member. (which has id, name, link, href, username in it.) */
if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))

$board['last_post']['link'] = str_replace('Re: ', '', $board['last_post']['link']);

echo '
<b>', $txt[22], '</b>  ', $txt[525], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'] , '<br />
', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $board['last_post']['link'], '<br />
', $txt[30], ' ', $board['last_post']['time'];

krash, Worked like a Charm, thankS! Thanks to everyone else too!

Actually, a str_replace(); isn't the smartest move in this case. A preg_replace(); is the best option for this case since "Re:" could be used in other positions beyond the start of the string.

I do believe there are multiple mods for this...

Thought of that after I got off.  Can't make preg_replace do what I want.  This should work, but doesn't.

$board['last_post']['link'] = preg_replace('/Re: /', '', $board['last_post']['link'], 1);


With no limit parameter, or limit = -1, it replaces all occurences of 'Re: '.  With limit = 1, it doesn't replace any.
