How To Remove 'Score' (Solved)

I was wondering how I could remove the (Score: 0) line? I looked in Theme directory which I assume is where I would do it but can't find it.

In the modules/News/index.php file, find:

Code:




$morelink .= ' | ' . _SCORE . ' ' . $rated;

and change it to:

Code:




//$morelink .= ' | ' . _SCORE . ' ' . $rated;

I would have never found it there but it worked and it was quite easy as well. Of course I assumed that removing the Score was going to remove the () as well and it did not. What is required to get rid of that? Thanks.

You will find two lines on line 149 and line 181 that look like this:

Code:




               $morelink = '(';


                $morelink .= ')';

change to

Code:




              $morelink = '';


             $morelink .= '';

or after
$morelink = str_replace('( | ', '(', $morelink); //RN0000646

add:

Code:




$morelink = str_replace('(', '', $morelink); 


$morelink = str_replace(')', '', $morelink);

kingjames, one way to help you find where certain literals are being placed onto the page, is to take the text - in this case "Score" - and search for that literal in the respective language files (I just use an IDE or good text editor that can scan the entire directory structure of source code and look specifically within the lang-*.php scripts).

A key element of the *nuke design for multi-language support is the use of these language files where all the literals are defined. In the above case, you would have found the constant _SCORE as being the more likely candidate and then you can search for "_SCORE" to find where it is being used.

Just a little insight into how to find these things... Wink

Well I did some of this, obviously I first searched the forums to see if my particular question had been answered, and then I searched the files I thought most likely to contain _SCORE, but no I didn't search the whole of the RN installation. Thanks for the info.

kingjames, on Windows, you can use TextPad and use its find in files feature. It is a fantastic tool for this. On Linux, I use Eclipse and it has a similar feature but one can also use a command of find . -name 'lang*.php' | xargs grep 'Score'.
