Hey Wendell,

It's pretty straight forward to remove these elements but it does involve you setting up a child theme so these changes are not lost next time Reboot theme updates. Start off by downloading the free Reboot Child Theme Framework from the store and installing it following the instructions on the Creating a Child Theme page - Scroll down and see the section 'Child Theme Frameworks'.

You will then need to copy in the template spTopicViewDesktop.php from:

sp-resources > forum-themes > reboot > templates > desktop > spTopicViewDesktop.php

to your child themes templates folder i.e:

sp-resources > forum-themes > yourchildtheme > templates > desktop > spTopicViewDesktop.php

So, working from your child themes spTopicViewDesktop.php template - To remove the user rank text you will need to locate the function 'sp_PostIndexUserRank' roughly on line 137 and add the 'showTitle' argument set to 0. The function should then look like:

sp_PostIndexUserRank('tagClass=spPostUserRank spCenter&showBadge=1&hideIfSpecialRank=1&showTitle=0');

To remove the usergroup memberships display you will need to comment out the following function directly after 'sp_PostIndexUserMemberships' with a hash so it will then appear as:

#sp_PostIndexUserMemberships('tagClass=spPostUserMemberships spCenter');

And lastly, 2 lines down from there you should find 'sp_PostIndexUserPosts', and you can then change the label at the end of the argument removing the word 'Forum' so it should then appear:

sp_PostIndexUserPosts('tagClass=spPostUserPosts spCenter', __sp('Posts: %COUNT%'));

That should do it!

No problem, happy to help!

For starters I take it you're using Unified for mobile? If so you will have to create a child theme for Unified using the same method detailed above.

Next you will need the Unified spTopicView.php copied over to your Unified child themes templates folder. Now you have to be more careful in Unified as the templates are not split into 'Desktop' and 'Mobile', and instead both desktop and mobile code is in the template.

The rule you need to follow here is that anything under:

if($spDevice == 'mobile') {

Is mobile.

Anything under

if($spDevice != 'mobile') {

Is NOT mobile.

Navigate to line 163 and you have the start of the mobile topic view user area but you will have to be careful as underneath the username you have location. If you are happy to loose location you can replace it with the rank function from line 195. The whole column should then look like:

sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spAvatarSection spLeft&width=76%&height=15px');
    sp_UserAvatar('tagClass=spPostUserAvatar spLeft&context=user', $spThisPostUser);
    sp_PostIndexUserName('tagClass=spPostUserName spLeft');
    sp_InsertLineBreak();
    sp_PostIndexUserRank('tagClass=spPostUserRank spRight&showBadge=0&hideIfSpecialRank=1');
    sp_InsertLineBreak();
    sp_PostIndexUserPosts('tagClass=spPostUserPosts spLeft', __sp('Forum Posts: %COUNT%'));
sp_ColumnEnd();
