How can I hide my forum views

How do I hide my forum views so its not visible to users?

[GregChapman]

I think you have asked the wrong question. If "users" can't see your forum then it might as well not exist.

Go to: Options > Users > Change Permissions

Set the "View" permission as you require.

By default "Anyone" may view your forum. However, those in the "Anyone" group may register by supplying an email address and automatically join the "Registered" group as well. There is also a "Members" group available. You have to add users to that manually.

I think you misunderstood me. I am talking about the page view count that is displayed at the bottom of the forum. How do I make that only visible to admin.

Ah! Indeed, I did misunderstand.

That will require you to edit the NAML code of the macro that places that data on the page. I'm afraid I don't have the skills to tell you how to do that.

Okay. Thanks

  hum, im not sure if this is what you want:
  -Go to "change the application type" and put your main forum as "mixed"
  -after this, go to "extras & add-ons" and select "smart application types" under "content"
  -Now, only the groups with the "view" box marked(in "permissions") can view the private forum(remember to select this in the private forum and not in the main page xD), other users(out of that groups) cant see that private forum(hidden to them).

Hi LouK,

I don't think that is what is wanted.

It's getting rid of the "17 views" that I see at the bottom of this page (and probably something over 20 by the time you look again)!

true, sorry :)

Then, go to "see how NAML generates this page", click on the "options screw" and "search macros", search "forum_footer", click on it, "override this macro" and delete "<n.views show_text="true"/>" and save, now your visits won't be displayed

Regards

Thanks, alot :)

So where is "see how nammle generates this page" ??  I've seen it before, but I don't see it any more.

[GOYODA]

I've found it, however this instruction does not work and produces the following error:

 Error: macro or method for 'page_node' not found in [basic, nabble, ad] stack = [basic, nabble, ad]
 in page_node(custom_tweak:forum_footer:2) - <n.page_node.>
 in (custom_tweak:forum_footer:1) - <override_macro name="forum_footer">

Does anyone actually KNOW how to do this, based on current scripting???

[Mencey Melgar]

Yes sorry, nabble changed the name to "Edit this page"

You probably deleted a word that shouldn't be deleted :p. To hide your views, your new macro sould look like this:

<override_macro name="forum_footer">
    <n.page_node.>
        <div id="forum-footer" class="forum-footer nowrap">
            <img src="/images/feeds.png" width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" alt="feeds"/>
            <n.feeds_link/>
            <span class="weak-color" style="padding-left:.5em">|</span>
            <t>Created by <t.author.owner.avatar_and_link/></t>
        </div>
    </n.page_node.>
</override_macro>

[GOYODA]

Tried that- still doesn't work. This is exactly what was in the override which didn't hide views:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

<override_macro name="forum_footer">     <n.page_node.>         <div id="forum-footer" class="forum-footer nowrap">             <img src="/images/feeds.png" width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" alt="feeds"/>             <n.feeds_link/>             <span class="weak-color" style="padding-left:.5em">|</span>             <t>Created by <t.author.owner.avatar_and_link/></t>         </div>     </n.page_node.> </override_macro>

I just did what Louk suggested and it worked. Please, see your forum now.

Hi Pedro,

I've cleared the cache, but I'm still seeing the view count. I see that you've added a macro overide, but here's a screenshot of the view count:

[Pedro]

I removed the views now. Take a look, but there are some places that you have to remove the comma too.

[GOYODA]

Success ! Thank you for your assistance Pedro
