A basic question about Views

By Reuven 378 days ago

Elgg 2.3.10

I thought I understand the Views system of Elgg, but now not so sure anymore.

We want to remove the View input/attachments.php ( hypeAttachments ).

We search the whole mod directory and found only one occurrence of:

echo elgg_view('input/attachments');

It is in forms/attachments/upload.php.

However when we comment this line of code nothing happened - the input/attachments.php View, still continue to display.

So the question is how to get ride of this View?

Thank you

BTW - When we comment the whole input/attachments.php it disappears of course.

1 - Every time after these changes you must clear the cache.
2 - Perhaps, some plugins have the same view.
3 - You can try to unextend this view in your custom plugin:
elgg_unextend_view('forms/attachments/upload', 'input/attachments');
4 - If you make this change in your custom plugin, make sure it's moved after the original plugin by priority.
Learn more methods.

Thank you RvR.
I did all your suggestions but it still does not work.
Perhaps, some plugins have the same view.
I do not think there is other same view since when I comment the whole input/attachments.php its content disappears from the page (as desired).
The mystery is what causes this view to appear.
