I would like to hide the number of comments shown in parantheses next to the story title in my "Older Stories" block.

Can someone tell me where on which file I have to edit to do that? I've looked in config.php but didn't see anything like it.
Thanks!

That's hard-coded in function COM_olderStuff in lib-common.php.

You will need to open and save a story (any story will do) after the change to force the block content to be updated.

bye, Dirk

In lib_common.php, there is a line that looks like:

Cool. Thanks! So, just to make sure, it should look like this?

$oldnews[] = '[a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/article.php?story=' . $A['sid'] . '"]' . $A['title'] . '[/a]';

Right, but some of those '['s should be less-than and greater than signs (as are already in the code). The forum isn't accepting CODE blocks right now, so I had to improvise.

Heh, Blaine must have just fixed it. See this forum post for what I was talking about.

I have edited my previous response and added CODE blocks.

Do you mean "open" a story as in edit an existing story and then just save it again? I did that after editing the lib-common and it's still not doing it (even after I cleared my browser cache).
Any thoughts?

Yep. That should do it. Or try editing the "Older Stories" block itself (e.g. removing the content).

bye, Dirk

Hmm. I did that too, but it's still not doing it...

Then maybe your patch isn't working ...

bye, Dirk

Nope. It's not working at all. And I've done everything that was suggested. Has anyone got this working successfully before?

The change I posted should work...

Maybe delete the block and re-add it with the same function? You could also copy the entire COM_olderStuff function, rename it to COM_olderStuff2 or something like that, and make a new block based on the new function.
