Native way to hide rank title

[durangod]

When i use ranks i really dont want the title to show, its extra information that is not needed when i have a rank image that says the same thing. If
i have a rank image that says "Site Admin" i dont need the title showing that says "Site Admin".

The title is a required field in the rank form, i tried removing it and got an error.

In the html files there is an IF wrapping the rank title however i do not see any config setting to hide it. So i assume it just looks for the existance of the rank title.

Also the rank title does not have its own dedicated css so i could not just add display:none to the css.

So what i had to do was to modify several html files, that seems to do the trick. But i hate modding core files.

modded prosilver files:

memberlist_view.html approx line 15

Code: Select all

		
<!-- dave mod -->			
			<!-- changed by dave to hide the rank text title and added br -->
			<!-- IF RANK_TITLE --><dd style="text-align: center;"><!-- {RANK_TITLE} --><br /></dd><!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- end dave mod -->

ucp_pm_viewmessage.html approx line 40

Code: Select all

<!-- dave mod -->

        <!-- changed by dave to remove rank title from display and added br  -->		
		
		<!-- IF RANK_TITLE or RANK_IMG --><dd class="profile-rank"> <!-- {RANK_TITLE} --> <br /><!-- IF RANK_TITLE and RANK_IMG --><br /><!-- ENDIF -->{RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
		
<!-- end dave mod -->	

viewtopic_body.html approx line 157

Code: Select all

<!-- dave mod  -->

            <!-- changed to hide rank title from display and added br -->
            
			<!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE or postrow.RANK_IMG --><dd class="profile-rank"> <!-- {postrow.RANK_TITLE} --> <br /><!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE and postrow.RANK_IMG --><br /><!-- ENDIF -->{postrow.RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->

<!-- end dave mod -->

Is there a native way without modding the files to hide the rank title?

There is no way to do this without editing that I'm aware of so I'm moving this to custom coding.

Quick tip, you can comment out template code using <!-- IF 0 -->

Code: Select all

			<!-- IF 0 --> Dave Mod -  hide the rank text title
			<!-- IF RANK_TITLE --><dd style="text-align: center;">{RANK_TITLE}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- ENDIF -->

That will completely remove it from HTML output.
