I want to remove the group logo/image from site summary posts.  Can someone point me in the right direction please.  It's probably just a matter of deleting a token from somewhere, but I haven't found it yet.  Thanks!

I am using the _activesocial theme.

I am attaching a screen shot of what I am talking about trying to accomplish.  Is there a template file for the site summary?  I am looking in the config folder and I don't see anything that says site summary.  Would it be the Journal Summary template?  Thanks.



-Ricky

Yep, the JournalSummary.ascx file is the one you want to modify. Make a copy of it into your custom theme directory and go from there.

I have created a custom theme, created a template directory, created a folder called 'Other' in that directory and copied the JournalSummary.ascx file in there.  Modified the file by removing  [AS:JOURNALINFO:IMAGE]  I saved the file and closed it.  I changed the theme to my new theme and saved, but nothing has changed.  I also deleted some other tokens just to see if it would change and nothing did.  Either this is the wrong file or I am doing something wrong.  Any suggestions?

-Ricky

That sounds like you did it the right way, you might have to clear your cache also.

I did try clearing the cache with no success.  As a test though, I made an edit to WelcomeCenter.ascx and I noticed the change right away, so I think the custom theme process is working just fine.  I just need to figure out where I need to make the correct change.  It looks like the only time this logo/image is appearing is from forum posts and replies.  Is there any other place this could be coming from or does everything on the social summary flow through JournalSummary.ascx?  I'll keep fiddling around a little.....

You'd have to check with the AM guys, but I'm pretty sure that the icon is rendered via the template. Removing it from the template should remove it from the display.

I think these were moved to the db in 1.3. Check out activesocial_JournalTypes. But, I don't know that you want to mess with these without some direction from AM.

I think you are right....That's got to be the correct template and token.  Something is going on because I can delete the entire item template and still nothing changes.  I guess I'm stumped on this one

Steven,

I think you might be on the money....I looked at the table and I believe the 'Site Template' column holds the template that needs to be changed.  I am going to experiment with this and see what happens.

Hey Guys,

That seemed to do the trick!  Thanks Steven and Dan for your help.  Maybe this will be useful for some customers in the future.

Sorry for the late reply; it has been a pretty crazy day.

I cannot recommend altering the journal templates in the database. You can hide that image with some simple css. Add this to your skin.

.asjournalcell a img{display:none !important;}

That's a way better solution.

Does that go in the module.css file in the Journal section?  My css skills are ridiculous, sorry   I changed the templates back to original and now the images are back.  Thanks

-Ricky

No...don't change the module.css. (your changes would get over written the next time you upgrade).

You an add that to your skin's css file

or

open Admin --> Site Settings and go down to the Stylesheet section

Past Will's code in there and click Save Stylsheet.

Steven,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...It's late and I was getting theme and skin crossed up.  It's working like a champ.  I really need to learn some css   but I'll save that for another day.  Thanks guys!

-Ricky

You can also edit the module.css file that is in your custom template directory. That will override any identical settings in the AS module.css file.

Ricky, I would make a copy of the _activesocial theme and make the changes to that (and of course, select that as your theme). Otherwise, your changes will probably get overridden with an upgrade.
