Has there been a solution for this yet. I would like to do the same. I want to hide everything in the red box on attached.

Seems to be two different questions here.  @Skippy are you talking about not having the outline show that information?  The original question seems to be not having those in the first place.

sorry, I think I did misunderstand the original question. I have been searching throughout with no luck. I would like to post images without all the other clutter under the photo (all the stars, dimensions, date, views, etc.). is this at all possible?

On the outline on the home page, that is part of the wall module; new name in the admin but the module in the /modules/boonex is still listed as wall.  I don't have time at the moment to start digging through the code.  I would assume it would be part of a template and you just need to remove the keys that add those bits; that would be a good guess but I need to examine code.  Maybe someone else will jump in as well.

Ok, hopefully someone can point me in a general direction. I can see the code in firefly but not sure where to go to edit it or if it can be done in the db. Thanks for responding geek_girl.

As I said, you need to go into modules/boonex/wall/templates/base and look through the templates and see where the keys are added.  For example, in outline_item_image.html I see a key, __item_description__

Now I am not sure if that is the template you need or not, just play around with the templates.  When you edit a template, back it up with a new extension most use bak, outline_item_image.html.bak.

It should not be too hard to see where the description is added.  This is for the home page outline.  You would do the same for the photo module to remove it from the photos block on the home page, or the photos home page.

Exactly where do you want this, just for the photos pages; if so, then you look in the photo module templates.

Thanks for the tip again geek_girl, I will continue with this quest as soon as I conquer my latest and more serious issue. Hope you might help with it if I am unable to find the answers in the forum. Really appreciate the tips.

I think Skippy is of the same mindset as me. The photo upload process is clunky and time consuming. Removing the description box completely will make things leaner and meaner. Descriptions can be added later in the comments section of the display page.

The funny part is that the photo is uploaded, thumb created, resized, etc before you get the form with the description.  So I guess one could just remove that from the process easily enough.

I tried to make it not mandatory but the bozo checker still complains that the description can not be blank.  See my topic on this.

I may look to see if we can just pull out the form completely and have it take the user to the photo view page after upload.

 

Note: if you have not done this, upload a photo and then at the form with the description, just leave the page and go to your photo album, the photo you just uploaded will be there.

@Skippy:

You need to go to /modules/boonex/templates/browse_unit.html and remove everything except the following:

<div class="sys_file_search_unit bx_photos_search_unit" id="unit_{id}">
    {pic}
</div>

Now you will need to go to the CSS and remove the height in .bx_photos_search_unit in search.css and in .sys_file_search_unit in common.css or you will have a big space between the rows.  Or you can remove the classes from the division above and replace with your own inline style or your own class located in say, common.css.


If you want the same for albums, edit the album template.  There is also a browse_unit_private template you might want to look at.
