Answered Hiding post count

[Evan Burck]

I apologize if this has been answered already, but I wasn't able to find it in a search.

This view counter here: Is there any way to hide it? We only want that to be viewable by admins if possible. I'm not CSS savvy enough to figure that out unfortunately.

The view count can be enabled/disabled, via AMS Style Properties for each layout type.

Example, here is how to disable the view count on the Carousels (Featured, Latest and Simple).

Admin CP >> Appearance >> Styles & templates >> Style properties >> AMS: appearance >> Featured articles carousel >> Featured articles carousel elements >> Views (uncheck)




Admin CP >> Appearance >> Styles & templates >> Style properties >> AMS: appearance >> Latest articles carousel >> Latest articles carousel elements >> Views (uncheck)




Admin CP >> Appearance >> Styles & templates >> Style properties >> AMS: appearance >> Articles carousel simple >> Articles carousel simple elements >> Views (uncheck)

Sorry to dig this old topic up again, but there's still one spot I'm noticing views still shows up despite it being unchecked everywhere. I've tried to find some CSS that'd hide it but I just plain wasn't able to figure it out. What's the best way to hide this one?

That one needs to be commented out.

Edit the template xa_ams_article_view

Scroll down towards the bottom of the template until you see the block of code for the article information sidebar block, then simple use the XF comment tag to comment out the lines of template code that displays the view count. Super easy

Scroll down towards the bottom of the template until you see the block of code for the article information sidebar block...

Find....

<xf:sidebar key="infoSidebar">

This is the article information block ...

This is the block of template syntax the you need to comment out in that sidebar block

<xf:if is="$article.view_count">
                    <dl class="pairs pairs--justified">
                        <dt>{{ phrase('views') }}</dt>
                        <dd>{$article.view_count|number}</dd>
                    </dl>
                </xf:if>

Simply wrap it with <xf:comment> tags as shown below...

<xf:comment><xf:if is="$article.view_count">
                    <dl class="pairs pairs--justified">
                        <dt>{{ phrase('views') }}</dt>
                        <dd>{$article.view_count|number}</dd>
                    </dl>
                </xf:if></xf:comment>
