Is it possible to show “Category” in the place of “Comments” in “Featured Articles” only?

As you can imagine, comments will be shown in new articles after some days…

However, showing “Category” will give the reader an idea about the diversity of the content.

Thanking you in advance…

Hi Ara,

You can go to backend settings of this menu item: Featured Articles > Articles Options > Show Category & Link Category and set to ‘Show’ > Save & refresh your site and let me know how it goes 🙂

Thanks Saguaros,

Almost done ! The category is in the same line as the “Create Date”. Is it possible to have it in the same place as comments?

It will be a great add to the template to have the homogeneous visual aspect.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi Ara,

Try opening file: templatesja_smashboardhtmlcom_contentfeatureddefault_item.php and move this snippet of code

[PHP]
<?php if ($params->get(‘show_category’)) : ?>
<dd class=”category-name”>
<?php $title = $this->escape($this->item->category_title);
$url = ‘<a href=”‘.JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($this->item->catslug)).'”>’.$title.'</a>’;?>
<?php if ($params->get(‘link_category’) AND $this->item->catslug) : ?>
<?php echo JText::sprintf(‘SMART_COM_CONTENT_CATEGORY’, ‘<span>’.$url.'</span>’); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo JText::sprintf(‘SMART_COM_CONTENT_CATEGORY’, ‘<span>’.$title.'</span>’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]

to underneath the code of comment view

[PHP]
<?php if($this->item->event->afterDisplayTitle && stripos($this->item->event->afterDisplayTitle, ‘count’) !== false): ?>
<dd style=”float: none;”> </dd>
<dd class=”comment-view”>
<?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayTitle; ?>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]

OK, thanks, got it…

However, I had to modify the value…, I do not know if to be valid for all screens and Win/Mac

[PHP].article-info dd {
float: right;
margin-left: 30px; <<<< change to this value
margin-right: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
}[/PHP]

You can make a test with these devices, if it doesn’t work well, try using media jQuery to add specific css rule for them
