Remove the "Permalink" action on P2 posts

  • Hi there,

    I am customizing P2 as a child theme for my own private internal chatroom, and there are 2 things I want to do:

    1. Remove the tag count between brackets on the posts.
    2. Remove the “Permalink” action link (next to “Reply | Edit”) on posts and comments, which I find pretty useless.

    For #1, I normally just go inside the functions.php get_tags_with_count and replace:

    $tag_link = '<a href="' . get_tag_link( $tag ) . '" rel="tag">' . $tag->name . ' ( ' . number_format_i18n( $tag->count ) . ' )</a>';

    by

    $tag_link = '<a href="' . get_tag_link( $tag ) . '" rel="tag">' . $tag->name . '</a>';

    Is there a better/cleaner way to do that without having to make that change every time P2 gets updated?

    For #2, the problem seems more complicated… I’ve done some Googling and it seems I may have to not only edit functions.php but also some other files. My first attempt seems to have made a mess as when I use the Search box on my site it now displays the search result in complete random order (as opposed to chronological).

    Any help and suggestions appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,
    Mathias

  • Try adding the following to your child theme’s functions.php file to see if it does the trick:

    add_action( 'tags_with_count', 'tags_without_count', 10, 3);
function tags_without_count( $post, $format = 'list', $before = '', $sep = '', $after = '' ) {
        global $post;
        $posttags = get_the_tags($post->ID, 'post_tag' );

        if ( !$posttags )
                return ''; 

        foreach ( $posttags as $tag ) {
                if ( $tag->count > 1 && !is_tag($tag->slug) ) {
                        $tag_link = '<a href="' . get_tag_link( $tag ) . '" rel="tag">' . $tag->name . '</a>';
                } else {
                        $tag_link = $tag->name;
                }    

                if ( $format == 'list' )
                        $tag_link = '<li>' . $tag_link . '</li>';

                $tag_links[] = $tag_link;
        }    

        return '<br>Tags: ' . implode( ', ', $tag_links);
}

    That looks very similar to what I was doing hacking the original P2 functions.php, so thanks for the proper way to do it via the child theme!

    Now, has anybody got any ideas for #2?

    2. Remove the “Permalink” action link (next to “Reply | Edit”) on posts and comments, which I find pretty useless.

    You could simply hide the link using custom CSS. Here is an example that might work for you:

    .actions {
	visibility: hidden;
}
.actions a {
	visibility: visible;
}
.thepermalink {
	display: none;
}
