I'd like the option to totally remove the view count shown after any attachment link on a post.
The count does not increment for images viewed from thumbnails placed using markup.




If this isn't thought worthy of consideration is it possible to edit a file within fbb to achieve this?

Thanks

You're confusing file views with thread views. The view with the attachments only applies if they download the attachment (activate the download.php script). The view count for the topic is at the bottom of the showtopic page. That incriments on their first visit to the topic. But may be delayed if you are caching topic views.

To remove the view counter for the file download script.

There are about 23 occurances of this in showtopic.php - you'd simply have to remove it.

Code:



 
{$files[$x]['file_downloads']} {$lang_str['FILE_VIEWS']}

Thanks Josh - I'll give that a go. I don't think I was confused - it was just the file view count I wanted to take out. If a thumbnail is created using the thumbnail markup button on the file manager the subsequent views don't increment that counter because as you say they don't activate the download.php script. As I've mentioned before I use the file manager t/nail markup as it gives my preferred caption at the top & thumbnials in rows format.
I'd rather have no counter than one that doesn't reflect the views of an image using the method I prefer
