Question Can I possibly hide or alternatively remove "last modified"?

Can I possibly hide or alternatively remove "last modified"? was created by Alistair

When a user edits or modifies a post it shows "last modified" or "last edited" (can't say exactly which in English because I have another language file).
Can I possibly hide it or alternatively drastically remove it altogether from the front end? Thanks

I understand your request. You need to hack the file ../components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/message.php, find the code that displays the "last edit" and comment the code. Of course, when you do this, this will leave you open to allegations that you may have altered your messages after you've posted them ... but that's a problem you'll have to deal with when you're users suggest you may be concealing information from them.

Personally, I wouldn't change this. The current mechanism provides honesty, openness and transparency in how you deal with your forum users. And, yes, I did edit this message after I originally posted it.

There is another way, if you want to conceal this information: directly edit the database (but I'm not going to explain how to do that) :lol:

That was very quick, thanks. I found that line, but what do you mean though by "comment the code"? I'm not a programmer and I only touch php and css if I'm sure of what I'm doing and I fear "comment" is some sort of programmer jargon, or is it not? ;p

Hello,

In the file /components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/message.php, at line 333 replace this :

Code:

echo '<span class="fb_message_editMarkUp">'. _KUNENA_EDITING_LASTEDIT .': '. date(_DATETIME, $fmessage->modified_time) .' '. _KUNENA_BY .' '. CKunenaTools::whoisID($fmessage->modified_by) .'.';

by this :

Code:

echo '<span class="fb_message_editMarkUp">'. date(_DATETIME, $fmessage->modified_time) .' '. _KUNENA_BY .' '. CKunenaTools::whoisID($fmessage->modified_by) .'.';

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

xillibit has shown you how to remove the text "Last Edit" (or whatever is translated on your website) from the area that displays the timestamp and who modified a posted message. (Thanks, xillibit. I didn't have time to locate exactly where the code is located.)

I presumed you wanted to know how to remove this whole feature and I meant to write "comment out the affected code". In other words, "turn the affected area of the program into a 'comment'". (Commented code is programmer jargon, yes. It means "allow the text in this program to appear so that humans can read it - for comments and such like - but do not run the code. In PHP you can comment code by putting /* before the comment and a */ after the comment.)

Alternatively to xillibit's solution, change from line 332 of ../components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/message.php, from

Code:

if ($fmessage->modified_by) {
		echo '<span class="fb_message_editMarkUp">'. _KUNENA_EDITING_LASTEDIT .': '. date(_DATETIME, $fmessage->modified_time) .' '. _KUNENA_BY .' '. CKunenaTools::whoisID($fmessage->modified_by) .'.';
		if ($fmessage->modified_reason) {
			echo _KUNENA_REASON .': '. kunena_htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($fmessage->modified_reason));
		}
		echo '</span>';

Code:

/*
 	if ($fmessage->modified_by) {
		echo '<span class="fb_message_editMarkUp">'. _KUNENA_EDITING_LASTEDIT .': '. date(_DATETIME, $fmessage->modified_time) .' '. _KUNENA_BY .' '. CKunenaTools::whoisID($fmessage->modified_by) .'.';
		if ($fmessage->modified_reason) {
			echo _KUNENA_REASON .': '. kunena_htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($fmessage->modified_reason));
		}
		echo '</span>';
*/

That was a very neat explanation, I'll try that soon. Thanks
