When you enter a new content item (i.e.: atricle) you have a choice to enter Administrator (by default) or to overwrite the author by entering text.
When you display the content item in a blog view or full content item view, the appropriate line reads:
followed by the word Administrator or the author that you entered.
The same is the case in the print version (after clicking on the Print icon.)
The PDF version reads:
…Administrator or the author.
I would like to eliminate the words “Written by” and “Contributed by” so that I can enter:
by John Holland (for example)
or
the name of an organization, department, etc., while entering documents and other material issued by a conference or other non-individual source.
Right now, I entered a video created by Network TV. The line under the title reads: “Written by Network TV”. It does not look right. I would like to have a flexibility to enter “Network TV” or “by Network TV” or “Source: Network TV”…
or yes, if needed: “Written by” or “By” or “Contributed by”.
QUESTION:
How can I get rid of the text:
“Written by” (in blog, print, and full content item view)
and “Contributed by” (in the PDF view) ?
