Avatar in Thread View

[theArchitect]

When viewing the threads in a particular forum, the starters avatar appears next to the thread title.

Is it possible to disable this for a specific forum?

We have our blog linked to the forum, and all blog posts are started by an admin user, so this forum is looking a little creepy with hundreds of avatars of the same person.

However I don't want to remove avatars from the other forum thread overview.

If your talking about during the thread preview then look at the second part of this resource.

Thank you, thread preview is what I am talking about. But this is a global change and I only want it to happen on a specific forum area.

I suspect this would need a full addon, so may not be possible.

It can be done with conditionals.

I'm working on it right now.

Ah I'm stuck. Brain fart. But this is what I did so far with TMS and I'm busy so I can't continue. If you can continue where I left off or make your own this may give you ideas or not.

Create Template: remove_preview_avatar.css

<xen:if is="@removepreviewavatar">
.previewTooltip .avatar {
display:none;
}
</xen:if>

Template Modification: Remove Preview Avatar
Template: public.css
Search:

<xen:include template="thread_prefixes.css" />

Replace:

<xen:include template="thread_prefixes.css" />
 
<xen:include template="remove_preview_avatar.css" />

Very much appreciated.

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> EXTRA.css

.node26 .previewTooltip .avatar
{
	display: none;
}

.node26 .previewTooltip .text
{
	margin-left: 0px !important;
}

You need to specify the node_id in the CSS selector (26).

That easy?

*face-palm*

Thank you very much, however it does not seem to be working.

I double checked the node ID (which is 25) and changed not only the Extra.css in the style I was using, but also the parent style just to be on the safe side.

But as you can see from the attached, avatars are still showing.

That CSS is for the preview when you mouse over a thread title.

Ahh, I am with you. Very neat and I will keep it implemented, but is it possible to do the same for the actual thread view, not just the mouse over?

Could this .node extra css code be used to choose a specific link styling in a forum? for instance, I want to make a thread in a forum that only does reviews.

In a review thread I want the links to be customized to look like buttons. Can I do so by adding the extra css for the links for only that subforum, using that .nodex extra css code?

Hmmm ..... Interesting.
What are the links (buttons) going to link to ? Other posts ?

Say you review a game, then you want to link to where you can buy it. Instead of a normal link, use your amazon publishing code referrel link to the game but use the styling to make it look awesome.

This will hide the avatars in the thread list (for the specified node_id):

.node26 .discussionListItems .discussionListItem .posterAvatar
{
	display: none;
}
