If Statistics module is enabled on your site, a number of views is shown for every node. In this article we will study how to hide this information.

Options:

1. Remove Statistics module

You should keep in mind that the following logs will be inaccessible without Statistics module:

• Visitor sources
• Last visits
• Popular pages
• Active visitors
• Access log settings

2. Hide counter with the help of CSS

The following CSS rule will hide information about views number. But  the information will be generated & calculated:

li.statistics_counter {display: none; }

3. Disable access to this information

• Open “Access control” page;
• Find “statistics” module here;
• Disable “enable access to the statistics” and “view message counter” for the appropriate roles.

Nevertheless, site administrator will be able to view the counter.

4. Очистить переменную в массиве $links

Statistics output is codes in $links array. Insert this code before the first $links output in your template:

unset($links[‘statistics_counter’]);

5. Disable calculating of views number

• Open logs settings (admin/logs/settings)
• Set “Disabled” for “Content views counter”

Good luck!
