Improve user name filter behavior

hi i was wondering how to do this too. anyone?

thanks

A quick and dirty way to do it is to define that specific string to be empty in your settings.php. Doing this will make you feel unclean, though.

/**
 * String overrides:
 *
 * To override specific strings on your site with or without enabling locale
 * module, add an entry to this list. This functionality allows you to change
 * a small number of your site's default English language interface strings.
 *
 * Remove the leading hash signs to enable.
 */
# $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'][''] = array(
#   'forum'      => 'Discussion board',
#   '@count min' => '@count minutes',
# );
$conf['locale_custom_strings_en'][''] = array(
  'Enter a comma separated list of user names.' => '',
);

The correct way to do this is to implement hook_form_views_exposed_form_alter() or at the theme level with a preprocess function or a custom tpl.php. By all means do not do it the way I show above. You don't want things like this living in your settings.php.

y dont u try to use css to hide that text?. Select that div and use css properties hide it like display:none.

Updated the descriptive text

Updating title, description, version and providing patch for review.

Same patch for test bots.

The 2 year old patch in #5 to views_handler_filter_user_name.inc does not apply to the latest views 7.x-3.x-dev and if still relevant needs to be rerolled.

Checking patch modules/user/views_handler_filter_user_name.inc...
