2.5.1 - Remove FAQ View Count and Total FAQ in Categories

[rhobson]

First off, I want to say thank you and this application is a great piece of work. I have already edited my templates and tweaked it to a very usable theme. I only have 2 more things I want to tweak out - I want to remove the FAQ View and Category FAQ counts. As stated in an earlier post, I tried to change the code in Faq.php from:

Code: Select all

$listItem = sprintf('<li>%s<br /><span class="little">(%d %s)</span></li>',
                    $oLink->toHtmlAnchor(),
                    $visits,
                    $this->pmf_lang['msgViews']);

to

Code: Select all

$listItem = sprintf('<li>%s</li>', $oLink->toHtmlAnchor());

All I get when I make this change is a blank page. No clues in any of the logs (apache, system, etc.) I also checked out line 1588 in Faq.php as suggested in another post, but did not find the block of code referenced.

Any suggestions/help to remove these from being displayed?

Your help is appreciated.

Hi,

your code example looks not like phpMyFAQ 2.5, it looks more like 2.0.

In inc/Faq.php you have to go to line 435 and change

Code: Select all

                $listItem = sprintf('<li>%s<br /><span class="little">(%d %s)</span>%s</li>',
                    $oLink->toHtmlAnchor(),
                    $visits,
                    $this->pmf_lang['msgViews'],
                    ($row->sticky == 1) ? '<br /><br />' : '');

to

Code: Select all

                $listItem = sprintf('<li>%s%s</li>',
                    $oLink->toHtmlAnchor(),
                    ($row->sticky == 1) ? '<br /><br />' : '');

for removing the number of views. For removing the numbers of records in a category view to have to open inc/Category.php, go to line 651 and change

Code: Select all

                $num_entries = sprintf(' (%d %s ',
                                        $number[$parent],
                                        $PMF_LANG['msgEntries']);
                $num_entries .= sprintf(' <a href="feed/category/rss.php?category_id=%d&category_lang=%s" target="_blank"><img id="category_%d_RSS" src="images/feed.png" width="16" height="16" alt="RSS" /></a>)',
                                        $parent,
                                        $this->language,
                                        $parent);

to

Code: Select all

                $num_entries = sprintf(' <a href="feed/category/rss.php?category_id=%d&category_lang=%s" target="_blank"><img id="category_%d_RSS" src="images/feed.png" width="16" height="16" alt="RSS" /></a>)',
                                        $parent,
                                        $this->language,
                                        $parent);

Simply brilliant. Thank you for the assistance. I made a couple modifications, but it worked as advertised. You will definitely be seeing more of me.

Actually, as you pointed out, I am running an older release. Oddly enough, in the admin panel shows my phpMyFAQ Version as phpMyFAQ 2.5.1. I will be upgrading to the latest stable release shortly (in the next day or 2). My guess is these changes will be lost when I upgrade. Where are these changes located in 2.5.2?

I also would like to remove the number of views from the "Most Popular" side bar and the date from the "Latest Faq" side bar. Where are these code modifications? I tried to zero out the dates, but it appears it defaults to Unix time. Again, I'll be upgrading to 2.5.2. Is this release able to use the same templates? Has the database schema changed any?

I appreciate the assistance. Is your wish list updated? hehe

you have to re-edit these fixes after updating to 2.5.2.

There are new template changes and no database changes in the 2.5.x release cycle. The next database change will happen with 2.6.

I appreciate the assistance. Is your wish list updated?

Always.
