Create date shows on the home/featured page even though the “show create date” is set to hide. If I hide author then both author and create date disappear from featured articles/home page. The result I seek is to show the author but not the create date. The attached annotated screenshot shows the problem more clearly.

Also, you can view it live at http://www.microvation.org.

Note: This appears to be specific to JA Rave because if I change to T3 Blank then this does not happen — author and create date hide/show independently and as expected.

Thanks,

Hi, we have fixed this issue, if you dont want to wait for the next release you can manually apply the fix:
open :
ja_ravehtmlcom_contentfeatureddefault_item.php
find this snippet:

<?php if ($params->get('show_create_date')) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($params->get('show_author') && !empty($this->item->author)) : ?>
<dd class="createdby">
by <?php JText::printf(($this->item->created_by_alias ? $this->escape($this->item->created_by_alias) : $this->escape($this->item->author)) ); ?>,
</dd>
<dd class="create">
on <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC3')); ?>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>
and replace it by

<?php if ($params->get('show_author') && !empty($this->item->author)) : ?>
<dd class="createdby">
<?php $author = $this->item->author; ?>
<?php $author = ($this->item->created_by_alias ? $this->item->created_by_alias : $author);?>

<?php if (!empty($this->item->contactid ) && $params->get('link_author') == true):?>
<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY' ,
JHTML::_('link',JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id='.$this->item->contactid),$author)); ?>

<?php else :?>
<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY', $author); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($params->get('show_create_date')) : ?>
<dd class="create">
<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_CREATED_DATE_ON', JHTML::_('date',$this->item->created, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC3'))); ?>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>
