Is there Reference for Ning Variables?

[Jeff Bean]

There's got to be a listing of the names of the variables used by Ning. Not finding any help anywhere in Creators or Help.

For example, I got this code in a tip from Glen Ace about how to update the forum module that removes the photo from each listed discussion:

.module_forum .photo{display:none!important;}

I'm presuming that I could modify this code to remove lots of other stuff from the listing of discussions in the forum module: the name of the poster, the date/time, just about everything but the topic itself. But I don't know what those things are called. And I can't find anywhere anything that refers to what they are called.

The code-jockeys out there must have a reference somewhere. Mind sharing it?

The only reference I know of is to the ning.CurrentProfile javascript object. If you are looking for the CSS selectors ning uses, just open your favorite developer tools (I use firebug for firefox and developer tools for chrome) to find the selectors for yourself.

On chrome just right click an object and click "Inspect Element" or on Firefox, install the addon firebug and then right click an element and say "Inspect Element with Firebug"

Thanks. I think I can make this work.

... and no, I can't. Apparently I need the names for things which don't show up in the source. The names for things I know from other NC's tips can be removed don't show up anywhere there, e.g., photo, details. I'll keep looking and asking ...

This may not help with what you specifically want to do, but we do have a set of developer docs that are used as reference material.

Thanks, Eric; I took a look, and I'm no developer, but it doesn't look like there's anything like what I'm looking for there.
