How to edit the comment count option under every discussion link on home page ?

Maddox

Hello all. I want to edit the comment count option under every discussion link on home page. As of now under every discussion link on home page, it read 'x comment/comments' where x is the number of comments on that discussion. I want to change the 'comment' label to 'post' so that it will read 'x post/posts'. How can I do it ? On which file I need to edit the code ? I'm unable to find the code to edit.

$Definition['%s comment']='%s post';
$Definition['%s comments']='%s posts';

see the documentation on locales and themes as well as the wiki. http://vanillaforums.org/docs/localization

most likely your definition.php in your theme.

@Maddox

Use Firebug or another element inspector to find out what the element is called, and then in your custom.css file set it to

display:none

use

$Definition['%s comment']='';
$Definition['%s comments']='';

then post an image with what you want to remove circled. I can't understand what you are talking about. The above should remove comment count period - permanently.

@peregrine. Thank you very much. But what should I do if I need to remove that comment count that reads 'x comment/comments' below every discussion link on the home page ? It should only display the discussion topic with the author's name but no comment count.

If I am thinking logically, i would assume this would do it.

$Definition['%s comment']='';
$Definition['%s comments']='';

@peregrine... Yup its working. Thanks a lot. But how to remove that comment count permanently from being visible under the link to any discussion on home page ?? It should only display the discussion topic with the author's name but no comment count.
