Hope this isn't a silly question but I'm a XOOPS newbie.

I would like to remove the comment viewing controls (flat/nested/threaded | oldest first/newest first) from the comment display. Users can make their choice in the Edit Profile screen if they want. What file(s) do I need to edit to get those controls off the comments page?

Thanks in advance for your help, looking forward to being part of the XOOPS community.

Comments work module by modules, for example you can do this for news: (affects most other modules too depending on the module code)

In yoursite.com/include/comment.view.php

About line 140 change it to something like this to be left with just "Refresh" and "Post Comment":

<tr>
<td class="even" align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="'.$comment_config['itemName'].'" value="'.$com_itemid.'" /> <input type="submit" value="'. _CM_REFRESH .'" class="formButton" />';
if (!empty($xoopsModuleConfig['com_anonpost']) || is_object($xoopsUser)) {
$postcomment_link = 'comment_new.php?com_itemid='.$com_itemid.'&com_order='.$com_order.'&com_mode='.$com_mode;

$xoopsTpl->assign('anon_canpost', true);
}
$link_extra = '';
if (isset($comment_config['extraParams']) && is_array($comment_config['extraParams'])) {
foreach ($comment_config['extraParams'] as $extra_param) {
if (isset(${$extra_param})) {
$link_extra .= '&'.$extra_param.'='.${$extra_param};
$hidden_value = htmlspecialchars(${$extra_param}, ENT_QUOTES);
$navbar .= '<input type="hidden" name="'.$extra_param.'" value="'.$hidden_value.'" />';
}
}
}
if (isset($postcomment_link)) {
$navbar .= '&nbsp;<input type="button" onclick="self.location.href=\''.$postcomment_link.''.$link_extra.'\'" class="formButton" value="'._CM_POSTCOMMENT.'" />';
}
$navbar .= '
</td>
</tr>

Thank you JackJ. This seems to be working well.
