i want to edit the code and remove it completely from the curve theme

[Mick.]

Can i ask why?  If you turn it off, it wont be visible.

What kind of edit are you doing?

Thanks for telling us after the horse has bolted.

Please help me in doing this

Why?

We have told you how to turn it off so it will not be visible at all. Why change the code?

This is because i want simple portal to show it on my preferred position at the homepage

[Mick.]

ok.

OPen:
/Themes/default/index.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '
<h2>', $txt['news'], ': </h2>
<p>', $context['random_news_line'], '</p>';

In other themes may look the same, may not.

[TheListener]

Simple Poretal has the news as a portal block.

Im thinking what he wants is, to show in block ONLY. Wants it removed so it doesnt show twice. (block and forum)

[Arantor]

I don't see the problem. Surely the option should disable it and leave the portal block alone?

I suddenly thought the same after I pressed the post button

Thanks guys for replying, this should solve my problem

It does.  I've used a working news block and disabled from forum via the theme settings.

In which case no code edit is required -_-

Right.

I strongly discourage people from making code edits when none are appropriate. It causes trouble down the line in terms of maintenance and most of this thread could have been saved. >_<

I agree. I cant think of a mod that would rewrite the news code. Anyways, he got what he wanted.

I hear ya man but to some it doesnt matter how many times you have to ask why.
