Remove Author from Article in Category Box

[SniffTheGlove]

Hi All,

If you have a Category Box showing and fill it with articles, the article title is shown along with "by xxxxxxx" with xxxxxx being the author.

e.g Constitution by Administrator

Does anybody know if it is possible to remove the author from the Category Box Display?

Thanks

Edit the articles visual options and you can turn off the option to show the authors name.

IchBin, There is no visual options properties for a Category box apart from the type of frame to use (plus allow/do not allow collapse and permissions), unless I have missed the settings elsewhere.

Could you point me to the visual options for a Category Box so I can switch off the author from displaying.

Thanks

Admin/TinyPortal/Article Manager/ Click the little tool icon for the article you want to change /At the bottom of that page just over the send button you have a link to the visual options for the article

Sorry, you all seem to misunderstand me.


I have attached a jpg of a Category Box.

It contains articles, the article title is shown along with "by xxxxxxx" with xxxxxx being the author.

e.g Constitution by Administrator

Can I remove the author ( "by xxxxxxx" ) from the Category Box

I hope this explains it better

Thanks

I would love to know how to do the same thing.. some of the articles I have added to my site dont actually need my name next to them to say created by so it would be prefered if I could remove it

Open Themes > default > TPortalBlocks.template.php

Find

Code Select Expand

function TPortal_categorybox()

A few lines below that, you'll see

Code Select Expand

if($listing['category']==$context['TPortal']['blocklisting'])
  echo '<b><a href="'.$scripturl.'?page='.$listing['id'].'">'.$listing['subject'].'</a></b> '.$txt[525].' '.$listing['poster'].'<br />';

Delete

Code Select Expand

'.$txt[525].' '.$listing['poster'].'

Be sure that you delete all of the single-quote characters I've included above. Otherwise you'll get a syntax error. Those are the easiest ones to miss.

Thank you JPDeni, I can do this.

Good Morning,
Is there any chance this might become an option in TP 1.x?  It would be nice to have the option to turn the author on or off when displaying an article title in a block.
