Important: This website is now read only (except to admins) to comply with the UK Online Safety Act. Composr CMS is in the process of migrating to a new Constitutional governance model and Bazaar development model, with functionality of the old website (constructed by ocProducts Ltd, the prior copyright holder, a UK company) spread between GitLab and the new website (which has no connections to the UK).
Does anyone know where this is in the admin zone? I have tried every possible search string and can not find a toggle for it. Simply want to disable page views on a news article for all roles aside from admin.
Admin Zone > Setup > Configuration > Site options has an option called "Reveal usage figures". This is probably what you are seeking but the effect is global and not just for news.
Thanks Adam, i tried it and while it does allow forum views to still be seen, the article page views are not seen by an admin. I just don't want other roles to see them, so it won't meet the requirements. Thank you though for the feedback!
To achieve what you require, create a fresh copy of NEWS_ENTRY_SCREEN.tpl in your templates_custom directory (to avoid core updates undoing your edit) then make the following change:-
Find
Code
{+START,IF,{$INLINE_STATS}}
Replace
Code
{+START,IF,{$AND,{$IS_ADMIN},{$INLINE_STATS}}}
You may need to do make this edit to any other news templates you are displaying/using (blocks, etc) if they also show the view count (not sure if any do but worth checking).
