Disable title in messages?

Regular Joined: Oct 15, 2005 Posts: 80

What I need to do is take out the title in message box's/table.

When I mean message box's I mean the ones on the main page of the site, for example the one right at the top which you can see a link to edit in admin.
Hope that makes sense, I tryed looking in modules for "messages" to try and delete the part which puts the title in the table but it isnt there in modules.
And if you just put no title in the massage in admin the box/table doesn't show on the main page.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks guys, Alex.

No not the admin link to edit it, but the title of the box, for example if your in admin and you click on messages and make a new message with the title "Test1" that will show up on the top of the message on the main page.

Or on this site one of the message box titles is "RavenNuke76(tm) Version 2.02.02 Released!"

huh..
that will be some searching...
if were talking about the message box then you have to dig in the mainfile..

The title is a field in the table nuke_message. All the programs that deal with the message expect to have it filled in. It is displayed by the function message_box() in mainfile.php. I guess you could modify that to not display a title line if there was no title but you'd still have to find the input screens (I don't have time to look into that tonight) to not require the title to be filled in. And you might have to fiddle with the database definition which doesn't allow the field to be null.

In short, there is a fair amount of programming to make this happen ... unless someone else can think of a simple hack. I can't.

Edit*

That's great fkelly, works just removing the $title and <br> in the table formating in function message_box(), now the title and space is gone in the messaage tabels.

Big thanks Very Happy
