Make module title not a link?

[cheykawebdesign]

Hi I am trying to edit the adv_portal_module_wrapper so that in the news module the thread title isn't a link.

I used firebug and this is what is there <h2 class="blockhead">

I changed the code so many times that the determining factor seems to be this line of code:

PHP Code:

{vb:raw mods.link} 


here is a bit more code around it, but if you delete the above then the thread title disappears. I need help figuring out where to look to make these edits. What I did was created a module page and then put a news module that just pulls 1 thread into the news module. I don't want people clicking the module link because then it takes them to the normal forum view that looks ugly. I also set the news module to have no limit on how much text it displays.

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="{vb:raw mods.link}">{vb:raw mods.title}</a><vb:else />{vb:raw mods.title}</vb:if></strong>
        <vb:if condition="$vba_style['portal_collapsemods']">
            <a class="collapse" id="collapse_module{vb:raw mods.collapse}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top" style="top: 6px"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b{vb:raw mods.collapseimg}.png" alt="" /></a>
        </vb:if> 


Thanks in advance for reading.

I figured it out, and also there was another post on this but the guy who figured it out didn't share what he did but I will.

I am using vbulletin 4+ by the way with vbadvanced_cmps_4_2_1_(vb_4_0_-_4_2)_112483


Open up your news.php module file found in your: root directory/modules/news.php


Do a search for:

PHP Code:

<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] 


found on line 736 for me,

Now delete

PHP Code:

<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . fetch_seo_url('thread', $news) . '"> 


and

PHP Code:

</a> 


from this line.



The line should now look like this when your done editing it:

PHP Code:

$mods['title'] = ($news['prefix'] ? $news['prefix'] : '') . ' ' . $news['title'] . ''; 


Now just save it and enjoy.
