Removing "User:" results from the requests page

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

So, I’m trying to customize PlexRequests a little. On the “Requests” page you get a list of the movies that have been requested and a bunch of information. I want to remove the “User:” results.

So it looks like this:
Captain Phillips
Release date: October 9th, 2013
Approved:
Available:
**User: **
Requested date: February 26th, 2018

or it could look like this with no line about the user at all.

Anyone have any ideas how to do this easily?

You’re really going to have to tell us which version.
There seems to be many with the title “PlexRequests”
I knew I’d heard of PlexRequests, searched here.
Found this one, https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/205378
that links to Github. https://github.com/ngovil21/RequestChannel.bundle
Github repo doesn’t seem to contain any of those words in your example (issues, for example, can’t be found?)
Searched github, there’s various different versions, meteor, python, javascript, PHP
If it were PHP or Python, I might be able to look and give a good idea. Perhaps even javascript.

PlexRequests is has a meteor install - this http://plexrequests.8bits.ca/ is the one that I installed. I just can’t seem to find the “source” file - I can find the file that has the text I need, but if I make a change, when I stop it and start it, my change is gone :frowning:

You can’t usually edit programs when they are running because they are in memory.
There’s a lock on most files.
Stop the app, edit, then restart.

You’re likely using a template file, right? Did you copy that file somewhere, or does PlexRequests just default to using them.
Either way, there’s javascript, which I’d leave alone, and a requests.html file, both in client/templates/requests
You want to remove line 93, the single entire lline, from your html requests file.
{{{requesting_user}}}

Man, this sounds really easy when you explain it…I’ll take a look again and see if it works. I did make changes with it being offline and then when I start it my changes are gone. I’ll try what you have suggested and let you know

That did it - thank you so much!
