I think, you should be able to do it by modifying the template.

It depends on the module - some have admin options for not displaying various things including counts.

If no admin option then this is the way to go. Tell us which module/version and you'll get the help you need, I'm sure

I'm using News 1.63 and I would like to remove the number of reads, as well as the posting date. Unchecking the "Set the date/time of publish " Doesn't do anything.

Can someone advise me what to change in the templates?

TIA
Frank

The problem is that every module uses their own way of implementing this and do not add the option to reset reads to 0. It wouldn't take much for the developer to add this to their modules (Just a few lines of code really), but your only choice probably is to change the read counts to 0 by using myphpadmin.

Support for "News" seems to have disappeared.

So you suggest I change the read count using myphpadmin, every time someone reads an article?

Of course not....
The fix is in the template

But where?

Sorry, I thought you wanted to set the reads back to zero.

Anyway, if you want to remove the read count from the template do this:
Edit root/modules/news/templates/news_item.html and around line 13, you will see the following line:

<td class="itemInfo"><{if $story.files_attached}><{$story.attached_link}>&nbsp;<{/if}><{if $story.poster != ''}><span class="itemPoster"><{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}></span><{/if}> <span class="itemPostDate"><{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}></span> (<span class="itemStats"><{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}></span>) <{$news_by_the_same_author_link}></td>


Look for <{$lang_reads}> within this line and remove it, save the file, and then go into module admin and update the news module.

Ok, I edited the template, removing the entire line because I don't want any of that info to appear in the articles. I changed the setting in system>preferences>General Settings>Check templates for modifications ? Yes.

And nothing happened. on 2009/3/6 1:11:38 (0 reads) is still appearing in the articles

What did I do wrong?
