Delete Trackback/comment at bottom of page.

[lindau]

When I click on a topic, how can I delete this at the bottom of the page? I'm using Carl Green template.

"Trackbacks
Trackback specific URI for this entry

No Trackbacks

Comments
Display comments as (Linear | Threaded)

No comments

The author does not allow comments to this entry"

Hi!

To do that you need to edit the templates/carl_green/entries.tpl template file. There you delete this:

Code: Select all

            <div class="serendipity_comments">
                <br />
                <a id="trackbacks"></a>
                <div class="serendipity_commentsTitle">{$CONST.TRACKBACKS}</div>
                    <div class="serendipity_center">
                        <a rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: normal" href="{$entry.link_trackback}" onclick="alert('{$CONST.TRACKBA
                    </div>
                    <br />
                        {serendipity_printTrackbacks entry=$entry.id}
            </div>

and this:

Code: Select all

        {if $is_single_entry and not $is_preview}
            <div class="serendipity_comments">
                <br />
                <a id="comments"></a>
                <div class="serendipity_commentsTitle">{$CONST.COMMENTS}</div>
                <div class="serendipity_center">{$CONST.DISPLAY_COMMENTS_AS}
                {if $entry.viewmode eq $CONST.VIEWMODE_LINEAR}
                    ({$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_LINEAR} | <a rel="nofollow" href="{$entry.link_viewmode_threaded}#comments">{$CONST.C
                {else}
                    (<a rel="nofollow" href="{$entry.link_viewmode_linear}#comments">{$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_LINEAR}</a> | {$CONST
                {/if}
                </div>
                <br />
                    {serendipity_printComments entry=$entry.id mode=$entry.viewmode}

                {if $entry.is_entry_owner}
                    {if $entry.allow_comments}
                    <div class="serendipity_center">(<a href="{$entry.link_deny_comments}">{$CONST.COMMENTS_DISABLE}</a>)</div>
                    {else}
                    <div class="serendipity_center">(<a href="{$entry.link_allow_comments}">{$CONST.COMMENTS_ENABLE}</a>)</div>
                    {/if}
                {/if}
                <a id="feedback"></a>

                {foreach from=$comments_messagestack item="message"}
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_important">{$message}</div>
                {/foreach}

                {if $is_comment_added}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_notice">{$CONST.COMMENT_ADDED}</div>

                {elseif $is_comment_moderate}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_notice">{$CONST.COMMENT_ADDED}<br />{$CONST.THIS_COMMENT_NEEDS_REVIEW

                {elseif not $entry.allow_comments}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_important">{$CONST.COMMENTS_CLOSED}</div>

                {else}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_commentsTitle">{$CONST.ADD_COMMENT}</div>
                {$COMMENTFORM}

                {/if}
            </div>

This will completely remove comments and trackbacks from the blog.

I tried that and the blog page came up blank.

I tried that and the blog page came up blank.

You probably deleted more than Garvin suggested.... be very careful to only delete exactly what he specified.

[lindau]

I deleted:

{if $is_single_entry and not $is_preview}
<div class="serendipity_comments">
<br />
<a id="comments"></a>
<div class="serendipity_commentsTitle">{$CONST.COMMENTS}</div>
<div class="serendipity_center">{$CONST.DISPLAY_COMMENTS_AS}
{if $entry.viewmode eq $CONST.VIEWMODE_LINEAR}
({$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_LINEAR} | <a rel="nofollow" href="{$entry.link_viewmode_threaded}#comments">{$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_THREADED}</a>)
{else}
(<a rel="nofollow" href="{$entry.link_viewmode_linear}#comments">{$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_LINEAR}</a> | {$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_THREADED})
{/if}


AND

<div class="serendipity_comments">
<br />
<a id="trackbacks"></a>
<div class="serendipity_commentsTitle">{$CONST.TRACKBACKS}</div>
<div class="serendipity_center">
<a rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: normal" href="{$entry.link_trackback}" onclick="alert('{$CONST.TRACKBACK_SPECIFIC_ON_CLICK|@escape:html}'); return false;" title="{$CONST.TRACKBACK_SPECIFIC_ON_CLICK|@escape}">{$CONST.TRACKBACK_SPECIFIC}</a>
</div>
<br />
{serendipity_printTrackbacks entry=$entry.id}
</div>

Where did I go wrong??

[Don Chambers]

You only deleted a portion of what you are showing first (and Garvin showed second). Note that Garvin's code example has a vertical scroll bar - perhaps that is why you missed all of it?

[lindau]

The first part has a line "{$entry.link_trackback}" onclick="alert('{$CONST.TRACKBA"

How should that line end?

[Don Chambers]

This should be the whole thing:

Code: Select all

        {if $is_single_entry and not $is_preview}
            <div class="serendipity_comments">
                <br />
                <a id="comments"></a>
                <div class="serendipity_commentsTitle">{$CONST.COMMENTS}</div>
                <div class="serendipity_center">{$CONST.DISPLAY_COMMENTS_AS}
                {if $entry.viewmode eq $CONST.VIEWMODE_LINEAR}
                    ({$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_LINEAR} | <a rel="nofollow" href="{$entry.link_viewmode_threaded}#comments">{$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_THREADED}</a>)
                {else}
                    (<a rel="nofollow" href="{$entry.link_viewmode_linear}#comments">{$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_LINEAR}</a> | {$CONST.COMMENTS_VIEWMODE_THREADED})
                {/if}
                </div>
                <br />
                    {serendipity_printComments entry=$entry.id mode=$entry.viewmode}

                {if $entry.is_entry_owner}
                    {if $entry.allow_comments}
                    <div class="serendipity_center">(<a href="{$entry.link_deny_comments}">{$CONST.COMMENTS_DISABLE}</a>)</div>
                    {else}
                    <div class="serendipity_center">(<a href="{$entry.link_allow_comments}">{$CONST.COMMENTS_ENABLE}</a>)</div>
                    {/if}
                {/if}
                <a id="feedback"></a>

                {foreach from=$comments_messagestack item="message"}
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_important">{$message}</div>
                {/foreach}

                {if $is_comment_added}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_notice">{$CONST.COMMENT_ADDED}</div>

                {elseif $is_comment_moderate}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_notice">{$CONST.COMMENT_ADDED}<br />{$CONST.THIS_COMMENT_NEEDS_REVIEW}</div>

                {elseif not $entry.allow_comments}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_center serendipity_msg_important">{$CONST.COMMENTS_CLOSED}</div>

                {else}

                <br />
                <div class="serendipity_commentsTitle">{$CONST.ADD_COMMENT}</div>
                {$COMMENTFORM}

                {/if}
            </div>
        {/if}

[lindau]

It still doesn't work (nothing comes up on the page).

I have checked and double checked my changes.

Could you send me what should be left over after the deletions?

[lindau]

Never mind. I thought of another way to check my work, and I found a missing {/if}

It's working now.
