Newbie help: removing comments and ratings?

[Syree]

Hello people, I'm new in using coppermine, actually new in using any php script, so i got some great help from someone on this forum setting it up and it works!

So far i can figure out how to make it look like i want, but i  can't seem to find how to remove the ratings and comment options? Also i'd like to remove the slideshow and next picture options above the picture if possible. I've tried to look around the forum for an answer, but the one answer i found i didn't understand. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you in advance!

[Syree]

I found the comments and ratings how to remove this Now my only question remains how to remove the little icons above a picture once clicked on. THe options for slideshow and next and previous i mean Hope anyone can help me

Copy the navbar template (as shown below) from themes/sample/theme.php into the theme.php of the theme you are using. then modify it as you want it.

I'm almost afraid to ask but i don't dare to send you a personal message either (lol) ...but what is comment out??? I honeslty have no idea what do actually do then.. 

[Nibbler]

I did it for you, all you need to do is copy/paste the code I posted into your theme.php

[Syree]

oh thank you! But i must make a mistake somehow, it doesn't change anything. I copied your post inside my theme.php (the one out of project vii) like this, maybe thats wrong?:

Put it just before the ?> at the end of the file.

[Syree]

.... no succes, it gives me this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /var/www/html/coppermine/themes/project_vii/theme.php on line 157


*handing you over some chocolate* I feel really like bugging but i'm trying to understand this script

[Syree]

Ok I added it again, and now right above the ?> ending, and now it works for the half.... the previous and next buttons are gone, but the little folder image and the info button are still there ..

[Nibbler]

You didn't say you wanted them removed too. Comment them out in the same way using the html <!-- comment --> method.

[Syree]

ooh..i will try to find this comment thing. Its all abracadabra to me LOL but i will try . thanks for your help!

[Syree]

YESSSSSSSS! I found out what a comment out is LOL!! (dont'laugh) For me this was all abracada but i know now. Thank you very much for the help
Happy new year

[Linea]

That was a very very good description, but in the theme.php I have, I don't find all these items...

// HTML template for sub_menu
$template_sub_menu = $template_sys_menu;

if (!defined('THEME_HAS_NO_SYS_MENU_BUTTONS')) {

  // HTML template for template sys_menu spacer
  $template_sys_menu_spacer ="::";

  // HTML template for template sys_menu buttons
  $template_sys_menu_button = <<<EOT
  <!-- BEGIN {BLOCK_ID} -->
        <a href="{HREF_TGT}" title="{HREF_TITLE}">{HREF_LNK}</a> {SPACER}
  <!-- END {BLOCK_ID} -->
EOT;

That was it! Where are alle the things starting with <td ? I would like to comment out some of them as Syree did, but how to comment out anything that isn't there??

[Nibbler]

Copy the navbar template (as shown below) from themes/sample/theme.php into the theme.php of the theme you are using. then modify it as you want it.

[Linea]

Navbar template??? I want to comment out things like top rated, last commented and so on. I can't find these items in the navbar template?!

[Nibbler]

Then your question has nothing to do with this post, please start your own thread.
