Permission to hide Time remaining

That seems to be a strange idea: viewing the remaining time is likely to be the strongest incentive users have to act on an ad instead of letting time pass.

What would the use case be ?

Also, note that 6.x will likely not be receiving new features, and at any rate, any new features is first going into 7 and /may/ be backported later.

I have the same problem - I don't want the time to be displayed except to (1) administrator, and (2) the advert owner once logged-in (which presumably they would do once they receive an email notification). In a high/fast turnover business then I can see why showing the time could possibly be advantageous but personally I don't want the emphasis to be on 'buy-now, buy-now, buy-now" which seems more applicable to an auction site - having the option would certainly help me.

This is very easy to do. Install CSS Injector and add the following rule:

.classified-expires {
visibility: hidden;
}

#4 -- thanks but that sounds more of a work-around than a fix and would mean installing yet another module which I'd rather not do just to overcome this one problem (my code base is rather large and I need to reduce not increase it).

@Aparato - well then add the same code to the modules CSS or create a custom one - that isn't going to increase your websites size by more than a few bytes. The module only makes these types of tweaks easier and allows you to specify which pages to put them on. Your correct - it is a workaround, but much better than waiting for the developer to make the change which may not happen soon - if at all.

@bwill -- no problem with work-arounds as such (I have more than a few already) in fact I already have one on place for this little problem but thanks anyway

(the work-around I use is to simply disable the display of "Ad expiration" which unfortunately knocks it out for all users. Personal preference, I generally dislike the css method as anyone with css turned-off can still see the data .. not particularly important in this case but elsewhere it can be !)

Just realised that this Issue has been 'postponed' for over 2 years, I'm changing it back to 'active' to get it progressed.

I have the module in use on 2 sites, one of which is a property site with no user entry (that is we create and maintain all the 'ads'), unusual maybe but this module gives us exactly what we want. However, with property the expiration is largely irrelevant plus its display clutters the page!

We'd like the option for expiration data to be shown only to the advert originator and admin accounts.

With this module end of life approaching along with Drupal 7 EOL, this issue is now moot.
