How to hide certain stats on homepage

Hi,

I saw where someone in 2011 made a code using phpbb2 (link) , but I have phpbb3.

So is there a phpbb3 code or can someone make one to hide these, because I haven't advertised my forum yet and it looks like a ghost town:

1) Today's active topics, Today's top 20 posters, Overall top 20 posters

This is the phbpp2 version, but I didn't see these codes in my phpbb3 version in the index_body.

Code:

            <a href="{U_TODAY_ACTIVE}" class="gensmall">{L_TODAY_ACTIVE}</a><br />
            <a href="{U_TODAY_POSTERS}" class="gensmall">{L_TODAY_POSTERS}</a><br />
            <a href="{U_OVERALL_POSTERS}" class="gensmall">{L_OVERALL_POSTERS}</a>

I like to keep track of any changes I make to my CSS. So let's pretend for a moment that below is the new code. Can I do this in the index_body section in case my forum ever gets popular and I can restore it:

Code:

/* Hide Today's active topics, Top 20 posters, and overall posters
            <a href="{U_TODAY_ACTIVE}" class="gensmall">{L_TODAY_ACTIVE}</a><br />
            <a href="{U_TODAY_POSTERS}" class="gensmall">{L_TODAY_POSTERS}</a><br />
            <a href="{U_OVERALL_POSTERS}" class="gensmall">{L_OVERALL_POSTERS}</a>
----------------------------------------*/

and

2) Hide the Legend part of Who Is Online that says Moderators, since I'll always technically be the moderator.

3) Hide the entire Who Is Online (at least unless this forum gets popular).

4) Hide the homepage Statistics. Under General > Statistics > Forum Statistics > Authorizations > Who is allowed to view the statistics online?, I selected Administrators and saved, but when log off, anyone can still see them on the homepage.


Thank you.

Hello, @PoodleyPie.

So you want to simply hide the forum links on the index page: "Today's active topics", "Today's top 20 posters", "Overall top 20 posters" ?

And that's it?

That, plus 2, 3, and 4, if not too much or too difficult.

Thanks.

Can I please have your forum's URL? If you want to keep it hidden, PM me the link instead.

Oh, and btw, hi Draxion! Hope you're doing great tonight. Anyway, it's

https://www.artsyfartsydogforum.com/

Hello. I'm doing alright for now.

As to your first question, the links to those is in the template index_box. Remove these. Should be at the bottom of the page.

Code:

<li><a href="{U_TODAY_ACTIVE}">{L_TODAY_ACTIVE}</a>&nbsp;•&nbsp;</li>
   <li><a href="{U_TODAY_POSTERS}">{L_TODAY_POSTERS}</a>&nbsp;•&nbsp;</li>
   <li class="last"><a href="{U_OVERALL_POSTERS}">{L_OVERALL_POSTERS}</a></li>

Or if you want to keep them in case you want them back, make them a comment.

Code:

<!--
<li><a href="{U_TODAY_ACTIVE}">{L_TODAY_ACTIVE}</a>&nbsp;•&nbsp;</li>
   <li><a href="{U_TODAY_POSTERS}">{L_TODAY_POSTERS}</a>&nbsp;•&nbsp;</li>
   <li class="last"><a href="{U_OVERALL_POSTERS}">{L_OVERALL_POSTERS}</a></li>
-->

For questions 2 and 3, in the template index_body, search for this and remove it.

Code:

<img src="{L_ONLINE_IMG}" id="i_whosonline" alt="{L_WHO_IS_ONLINE}" class="img-whois" />
<p>{TOTAL_USERS_ONLINE}<br />
{RECORD_USERS}

<br />
{LOGGED_IN_USER_LIST}

{L_ONLINE_USERS}
{L_CONNECTED_MEMBERS}<br />
{L_WHOSBIRTHDAY_TODAY}{L_WHOSBIRTHDAY_WEEK}

<br />
<em>{LEGEND}&nbsp;:&nbsp;{GROUP_LEGEND}</em>

</p>

Or like before, make a comment in case you want to return it.

Code:

<!--
<img src="{L_ONLINE_IMG}" id="i_whosonline" alt="{L_WHO_IS_ONLINE}" class="img-whois" />
<p>{TOTAL_USERS_ONLINE}<br />
{RECORD_USERS}

<br />
{LOGGED_IN_USER_LIST}

{L_ONLINE_USERS}
{L_CONNECTED_MEMBERS}<br />
{L_WHOSBIRTHDAY_TODAY}{L_WHOSBIRTHDAY_WEEK}

<br />
<em>{LEGEND}&nbsp;:&nbsp;{GROUP_LEGEND}</em>

</p>
-->

For number 4, I see you have your footer hidden already.

Wow, you guys are fast! Give me 15 or so minutes to try this out and I'll get right back to you!

@Draxion Yes, you are right, I thought in this case maybe hide those with CSS could be a better way than editing the template, but since there are a few unexpected complications on that I just deleted my answer because your method is more complete and simple

Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough, you were so fast I wasn't able to delete it without being noticed

@PoodleyPie I highly suggest you not to delete those lines directly if you want them back in the future.
Follow Draxion's instructions and all should be fine.

Nope, you were caught muwahaha!

But, seriously, let me know if you still need assistance, @PoodleyPie.

Hi again. The first code works great.

2/3 code hid everything nicely, and I've been playing with it, but the title Who Is Online is still there.


Draxion: "For number 4, I see you have your footer hidden already."

Sorry to be sooo slow, I'm very methodical, saved the original codes, and had fun playing with different combinations, such as learning how to hide only the Legend/Moderator item and experimenting with the break code.

As for # 4, it's not the footer, it's the Statistics under the Who Is Online that I want to hide, i.e.,

Our users have posted a total of x messages
We have x registered users
The newest registered user is X.

Thanks!

You can not use coding to hide the footer links or the copyrights in the toolbar.

@ SLGray, I wasn't trying to hide footer links, in number 4 I asked about hiding the Statistics. I don't know how footer links were inferred. I'm not really sure what a footer link is, could you tell me please?

*****

And hey, Draxion! Guess what?!? I was almost finished writing you when I saw SL's comment. Here's the scoop:

I'm thrilled! And so glad I saved the original code for the index_body. That way I could screw it up and just re-paste it. It's such a feeling of accomplishment to figure out this coding stuff. No wonder you guys love it.

Okay - so anyway I played around with the code and figured out how to get rid of the Statistics section.

It went from this:




To this with a nicely modified Who Is Online
(ideal for tiny beginner forums like mine since people generally like popular forums),
and without my ghost-town Statistics:



The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to get rid of Who Is Online header:



I'm guessing that's buried deep in template or host server (?)

Note: If I could find where to change the words, "Who Is Online", to something cool like "Who's in the house?", I'd really like that. Can this be done?

Thanks!


PS - Going to bed now. Will check in later. Have a good night.

Have you made any changes to your template index_body before this at all? If not, can you please paste your template code here.

You can simply use this script if you don't want to mess with the template.

Placement: In the homepage

Code:

$("#main-content > div.h3").replaceWith("<div class='h3'>Who's in the house?</div>")

Thanks SLGray. I didn't know what that area was called (I thought it was the photo), and noticed that when I gently scroll over the area you circled as links, there are no links. After looking at two other FM blogs (without domains) I could see their FM-related links.

Draxion - Sure! Here's my index_body now:

This is where I have my 1) Greetings message and 2) Slide Show. I pasted your code at the bottom and saved the "Who's in the house?", but it didn't change. I don't mind trying the template.

Thanks!

Even with domain names. the footer links are there.

I'm sorry Draxion, it still says Who Is Online?

You sure? Cause I can see it saying "Who's in the House?".

That's wild!

I logged out, and I can Who's In The House too! When I log in, however, I see Who Is Online?

I'll take a guess that has something to do with General > Statistics > Forum Statistics > Authorizations > Who is allowed to view the statistics online?, and I have Administrators selected.

Well, I'm satisfied. I can also see that "Who's In The House?" is on Line 56, so it can be changed to anything... Refresh the page and look at it for now!

Thank you so much, Draxion!

Check your CSS for this:

Code:

div.navbar ul.linklist li.rightside a {
    display: none;
    font-weight: 400;
}

Remove it.  It is what is hiding the footer links.

Haha

You're very welcome. Now all you have to do is follow what SLGray mentioned about you hiding your footer links and then we can solve this topic.

Draxion, you're quite welcome!

You too, SL Gray, and yes, it's there.



I'm actually fine without it if it's permissible with FM premium domain members, but if I have to keep it I won't complain.

You can only use credits to remove the footer links, but all of them will not be removed.  About 3 remain and has to remain there.

SLGray, I could have sworn you posted a code for my footer links to show, but I don't see it now. Maybe it's just late...

Anyway, I read the Forumotion copyrights article, and you are correct.

I disabled them to cut down on the links, but the three links you and article mentioned, i.e., report abuse etc, still don't show in my footer link. Worse, the Forumotion word in the top toolbar disappeared, and I like that and want to keep it. So I reactivated the copyrights so they are no longer disabled. Despite this the mandatory footer links still don't show.

You or someone can let me know in the morning if you're working how to keep the Forumotion word and log on the top toolbar yet at the same time disable the permissible footer link copyrights, like this first pic. I like the color scheme, it goes with my background, and visitors might want to sign up with FM.



This pic below is how it looks w/ copyrights disabled; looks ho-hum. The pic above looks better.



Thanks.

The problem is if you hide the footer links without paying for them to be removed your forum could be banned and removed as it's breaking our TOS.

it's best to just remove the code you use in the CSS files to that SLGray posted.

We can always work with other problems after that is added back to the site.

also the Forumotion logo on the toolbar at the top is a must unless you pay for it to be removed.

Sadly forumotion.com don't like use removing links to our host unless you pay for it.

the truth is you can't just hide things without us knowing.

trust me to hide things like links on the footer and toolbar is not worth you having your forum banned or deleted

@PoodleyPie, the first lines in your CSS are the codes to remove the Ads from your forum. You are not allowed to do that unless you have bought the package that removes the ads with those packages. Please remove those lines from your CSS as these lines are violating the ToS of Forumotion and you may be banned for this without any notice.

Thank you.

I did not add any code to my template to remove FM copyrights in the footer. I am an honest person who complies with rules. This should make that crystal clear:

Here's my part of post at 2:09am:

PoodleyPie wrote:@ SLGray, I wasn't trying to hide footer links, in number 4 I asked about hiding the Statistics. I don't know how footer links were inferred. I'm not really sure what a footer link is, could you tell me please?

He responded with a photo of showing me this. At 2:50am, I said:

PoodleyPie wrote:Thanks SLGray. I didn't know what that area was called (I thought it was the photo), and noticed that when I gently scroll over the area you circled as links, there are no links. After looking at two other FM blogs (without domains) I could see their FM-related links...

At 2:56am he responds that even domain names have footer links. Well mine didn't, and I didn't know what to say.

So at 3:54am, he says:

SLGray wrote:Check your CSS for this:

    display: none;
    font-weight: 400;

Remove it. It is what is hiding the footer links.

I re-read that a few minutes ago; at almost 4am I was tired and thought he meant I should have it, and three minutes later Draxion says, "Haha You're very welcome. Now all you have to do is follow what SLGray mentioned about you hiding your footer links and then we can solve this topic.

I thought we were all pretty happy and I was finally ready to go to bed. So at 3:55am, I said,

As you can see, I'm still thinking he meant I should have that code, not remove it. All I can say is that at almost 4am, my thinking is not it's sharpest.

So at 4:09am, he says, "You can only use credits to remove the footer links, but all of them will not be removed. About 3 remain and has to remain there."

By this time, I'm wondering what the heck he's talking about because mine apparently were removed. I considered that removal came automatically from my Premium package domain name.

So I examined my Credits Management. I had never activated it. Thinking this might solve the problem, I did:





After I activated the Disable Forum Copyrights - and I was not asked to pay extra credits for this - the word 'Forumotion' disappeared from the top tool bar (as seen in my 5:03am post), and the footer links were still invisible.

I clearly said at 5:03 that I like the FM top toolbar showing, and how can I have the basic three footer links but keep the FM toolbar. I turned clicked on to restore the FM Copyrights to the top toolbar that I like would show, then went to bed.

When I woke up, I saw APE and Luffy's comments. (Sigh.) I will reiterate that I never tried to hide the Footer links.


So here is my receipt:




My apologies for misunderstanding that it should be removed. From a communication standpoint, it's like someone says remove your hat, and the other person who is sleep-deprived happily says yes, I have on my hat, see. Not really funny, but kind of funny at the same time.

So just now I removed the three lines of code SLGray spoke about at 3:44am. Now I have the footer links but there were so many, I activated the Disable Copyright thingy again, only now don't have the word Forumotion on my top tool bar. I think I like it b/c it represents to me that with help, I've learned some code and designed a pretty forum, something that never occurred to me that I could do.

So if anyone wants to write a little code to get that back, fine. If not, it's okay too, I can get used to it.

Sorry for the long post but I felt I needed to defend my integrity.

I mean to remove it from your CSS stylesheet.

Alright, so what's left here from your questions/problems?
I kind of lost track of what's left right now!
