How do I hide the "RE:"

[Fernando Rocker]

As you can see... every post has the "RE: Name of the thread."

How do I hide it? I just want the title to be displayed once, at the top, not in every message!

Is this any use to you?

Have a look at the Mod Emulate link in my signature.

I think he wants to hide the whole title. Easiest way to do that is to just add this to the end of index.css:

Code Select Expand

.keyinfo h5 {visibility: hidden; height: 10px;}

You don't want to actually delete the title from the template, because it's used for linking quotes, etc.

Also, don't use display: none; (which is the other way of hiding things) because that will also break the link by preventing it being echoed to the browser at all. Using display: hidden means it's still there but you just can't see it. It's sneaky CSS.

The height: 10px; just leaves the Reply# stuff at the right height.

Thanks, Antechinus.

I'm gonna try it and I will post results.

Well... I'm new at this, and maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Nothing happened. But maybe it was because I am doing it wrong. I'm attaching an image. Am I doing it wrong?

Yeah I tested it on local with inline css, then just assumed that would transfer to index.css. It doesn't though, which I suspect is something to do with the javascript that handles quick editing of the thread title. That's nasty.

However, it does work if you use inline css for the changes. I came up with a slight tweak, which also leaves you a visible link to the post, in case you want to link someone to it. Do it like this:

Display.template.php:

Find:

Code Select Expand

<h5 id="subject_', $message['id'], '">
<a href="', $message['href'], '" rel="nofollow">', $message['subject'], '</a>
</h5>
<div class="smalltext">&#171; <strong>', !empty($message['counter']) ? $txt['reply_noun'] . ' #' . $message['counter'] : '', ' ', $txt['on'], ':</strong> ', $message['time'], ' &#187;</div>

Replace:

Code Select Expand

<h5 id="subject_', $message['id'], '">
<a href="', $message['href'], '" rel="nofollow" class="hidden" style="visibility: hidden;">', $message['subject'], '</a>
<span class="smalltext" style="font-weight: normal; display: block; margin-top: -10px;"><a href="', $message['href'], '" rel="nofollow" title="', $message['subject'], '" style="font-weight: bold;">', !empty($message['counter']) ? $txt['reply_noun'] . ' #' . $message['counter'] : 'OP', ':</a> ', $message['time'], '</span>
</h5>

Note that I haven't played with the javascript, so if you use the quick edit on a post it will show the title again once you save. This is only temporary though, and refreshing the page will hide the edited title again.

Changing message icons doesn't make the title show, and neither does changing the title via the full edit page. It's only a temp thing with quick edit.

[Fernando Rocker]

OK... let me try that.

[Fernando Rocker]

It worked!

Thanks, buddy!

[Antechinus]

Welcome. It does look a lot better like that. I might even zip it as a mod, just for fun.

Definitely. It looks way cleaner that way.

[Antechinus]

We're already planning on doing something like that for 2.1. Most of us are totally over looking at the title in every post.

Nice!

Do you have an estimated date of when 2.1 is going to be released?

You guys should include a lot of options to hide things that people probably won't need so the boards could look cleaner. For example... options to remove the RE: Title (like you just did here), hide the post count under avatars, hide the ip thing, etc...

[Antechinus]

Ah. Funny you should mention that.

These are just ideas I'm playing with at the moment. May be in 2.1. May not. We'll see.

[Fernando Rocker]

Oh my God... that looks amazing.

Very clean. I love it.

You guys are very talented.

[Antechinus]

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like it might be a winner then.

[Colin]

Agreed, that looks very good!

[Fernando Rocker]

I'm going to add a last comment.

I know this is not the right place, but this is just a suggestion. For 2.1, you guys should add an achievement system, just like XenForo.
