Browsecategory edit help, please

[LenB]

how do I remove completely the Username, Category Tools and Date from browsecategoy?

And also the Username, Date and Category from Showentry, please?

[Brian]

All of that info is located in your 'ADV_DYNA_BROWSECATEGORY' and 'ADV_DYNA_SHOWENTRY' templates and can be removed from there.

Brian, thanks. I just checked and "user" appears 30 times in just the browsecategory template...not to mention the other template and the other items I want to remove.:confused:

Can you please tell me what code to remove in each of the templates. If you help me I will name my next grandchild after you. :cool:

Brian, that was a lot of work for you, thanks. I'll work on it tonight.

[LenB]

Brian, you da man!

It worked. That's pretty scary to push "delete" on code when you have no idea what it all means and if you selected it correctly.

THANKS

Now, how do I remove the entire row and space that includes the little selection box on the browsecategory template? I can't remember but I think that selection box is on the row that used to have the date on it. It's just above the Views/Replies row. You can see it below.

http://www.longrangehunting.com/content/outdoor-news-2/

I know, now we are going for the grandchild's middle name naming rights.

[Brian]

Search your 'adv_dyna_entrybit_expanded' template for 'views' first and that will take you to near the top of this bit of code, all of which should be removed.
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="smallfont" style="white-space:nowrap;">
<if condition="$show['categorylink']">
<div><a href="$entry[caturl]" rel="nofollow">$entry[category]</a></div>
</if>
<if condition="$show['entrybit_views']"><div>$vbphrase[views]: $entry[views]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['replies'] AND $show['entrybit_replies']">
<div>$vbphrase[replies]: $entry[posts]</div>
</if>
</td>
<if condition="$show['categorylink'] AND $show['entrybit_caticon'] AND $entry['caticon']">
<td>&nbsp;</td><td valign="top"><img src="images/caticon/$entry[caticon]" alt="" class="inlineimg" align="$stylevar[right]" /></td>
</if>
</tr>
<if condition="$show['replies'] AND $show['entrybit_last_reply']">
<tr>
<td class="smallfont" style="white-space:nowrap; padding-top:5px" colspan="3">
$vbphrase[last_reply]:
<if condition="$entry['lastpostid']">
<if condition="$entry['lastpostuserid']">
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$entry[lastpostuserid]">$entry[lastpostusername]</a>
<else />
$vbphrase[guest]
</if>
<br />
$entry[lastpostdate] <span class="time">$entry[lastposttime]</span> <a href="$entry[lastposturl]"><img alt="" border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" title="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" /></a>

</if>
</td>
</tr>
</if>

Yup. Just trying to figure out what s/he's going to be called now. :p

[LenB]

I tried that pretty carefully but it didn't work.

[Brian]

What exactly didn't work or what exactly is the problem?

[LenB]

There was no change in the look after trying to remove the entire row and space that includes the little selection box on the browsecategory template.

That stuff is still there.

[Brian]

Sorry, but I'm not sure I'm completely following you...

"the entire row and space that includes the little selection box on"

Are you referring to the part that shows the username, number of views/replies, and etc, or something different?

[LenB]

http://www.longrangehunting.com/content/outdoor-news-2/

On the page above, it is both rows, one dark brown, one tan that are just above the item's title that I would like to completely remove. As you look at them above, one is totaly blank and one has the little tiny white box.

[Brian]

Looks like you would also need to remove this code from your 'adv_dyna_entrybit_expanded' template:
<tr>
<td class="alt2" colspan="4" style="padding:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<if condition="$show['entrybit_avatar'] AND $entry['avatarpath']">
<td><img align="$stylevar[left]" alt="" border="0" src="$entry[avatarpath]" title="<phrase 1="$entry[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" /></td>
</if>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<div id="entryuser_$entry[entryid]">
<if condition="$entry['userid']">
<a class="bigusername" href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$entry[userid]">$entry[musername]</a>
<if condition="$show['entrybit_online_status']">$entry[onlinestatus]</if>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("entryuser_$entry[entryid]", true); </script>
<else />
$entry[musername]
</if>
</div>
<if condition="$entry['usertitle'] AND $show['entrybit_user_title']"><div class="smallfont">$entry[usertitle]</div></if>
<if condition="$entry['rank'] AND $show['entrybit_user_rank']"><div class="smallfont">$entry[rank]</div></if>
</td>
<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

[LenB]

Oops, that broke it and I don'ty know where to put back that code. Can you help please. This is what it looks like now...all blank.
