Removing post dates everywhere

urzh · Post by **urzh** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 2:26 pm

Hi, can someone help me with removing post dates for all topics (no replies) on my board? I'd want the dates removed from:

Forum View - Last Post
Topic - Author post date

So basically remove instances of a date everywhere for topics. Replies should still have post dates. Thanks!

You want to just remove what is displayed?

Yes. But sorry, maybe I'm missing your question?

He is asking if you want them removed from the database, or just suppress their display.

Got it. I suppose removing from the DB makes sense but depending on overhead?

From what I can see in his question: "just suppress their display."
So just remove the HTML in templates

Ok but which aspects? I think that's where I'm looking for help

The reason I asked is so I knew where to move topic. The support forum which you originally posted to is for general support; errors, installation, etc.

That's permanent and since you have no specific reason to remove date other that what is displayed the best thing to do is just edit the templates. You can always revert the changes in the future....

Don't have time now but I'll post later if you don't have any answers.
