I made the news my startup module..
how do I remove the (x reads) on the news header?
Thanks

I won't mind edititng the script. Just tell me how..~

You'll have to edit the news_item.html template. You'll have to clone the default set first of course, and set the cloned set as the default.

The following is the code from the news_items.html template. I wanted to do the same thing as you, except I only wanted the news item name and topic name showing. so I just commented out the lines where those items are called.

<div class="item">
<div class="itemHead"><span class="itemTitle"><{$story.title}></span></div>
<!--<div class="itemInfo">
<span class="itemPoster"><{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}></span> <span class="itemPostDate"><{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}></span> (<span class="itemStats"><{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}></span>)
</div>-->
<div class="itemBody">
<{$story.imglink}>
<p class="itemText"><{$story.text}></p>
</div>
<!--<div class="itemFoot">
<span class="itemAdminLink"><{$story.adminlink}></span> <span class="itemPermaLink"><{$story.morelink}></span>
</div>-->
</div>

If you comment out or remove the "<{$lang_reads}>" it should do what you want.

to remove "hits numder":



it means, cut this:



<{$story.hits}> (number of story hits)
<{$lang_reads}> ( .. "reads" word)

I already removed that line READ.
I upload into the server and still I can see READ.

I think i am having trouble trying to update the template.

I download the template news_item.html from modules/news/templates/

after editing..i reupload and overwrite the old one..
why doesn't it overwrites it?

hi!

you shouldnt edit the html file... but if you do so, you have to update the module. (Administration->System->Modules)

the right way to do this is:

Go to Administration->System->Templates->Clone and save it under a new name.

Then go to System->Preferences and change the default template set. Now you can change the templates online. (System->Templates->yourTemplateSet)
