Does anyone know how to set up a way to display an article’s category, date published, and author BUT without including those prefixes? I know how to change the global settings so that these items don’t appear (or do appear) in general but there seems to be no way to make the labels invisible or remove them…
Thanks in advance!

This is the customization on com_content

Open <blockquote>templates/ja_rave/html/com_content/article/default.php</blockquote>

and change code on some comments

Category: COM_CONTENT_CATEGORY
Date : COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE
Author: COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY

Remove it

OK, thanks — that worked for when the entire article is displayed. What do I do to enable display of these items when just the intro text is shown on the front page?

Also, where can I change the format the created date is displayed? I’d like to use: F j, Y (ie, Month Date, Year)

Open templates/ja_rave/html/com_content/featured/default_item.php file and change the same above

This is customization work and you can add it into language file

<blockquote>Open language/en-GB/en-GB.ini file and add</blockquote>

DATE_FORMAT_CUSTOMIZE="F j, Y"

Open back both file

<blockquote>templates/ja_rave/html/com_content/article/default.php
templates/ja_rave/html/com_content/featured/default_item.php</blockquote>

Replace

DATE_FORMAT_LC3
to

DATE_FORMAT_CUSTOMIZE

OK, I did that and I’m still not getting these items to display when the article is just in intro format. For example see: http://www.worldcantwait.net/jupgrade/index.php/wikileaks/7986-defense-bradley-manning-s-speedy-trial-rights-have-been-trampled-upon

On the full text version they are there (and date format is customized, thank you!) but they aren’t appearing on front page:
http://www.worldcantwait.net/jupgrade/index.php?start=5

Anything else I can try?

You are seeing the author’s name because we’ve typed it into the body of the articles.

When you open up an article you can see the difference: it’s supposed to show the category, date and author, not italicized.

I could not find problem from structure html of com_content.

Please check article “Defense: Bradley Manning’s Speedy Trial Rights Have Been ‘Trampled Upon’” again, because this article linked to
<blockquote><p><em>by <a href=”http://dissenter.firedoglake.com/”>Kevin Gosztola</a> </em></p></blockquote>. This link is referred to article.

The reason that link is there is because we added it – it’s the original source of the article.

If there’s nothing wrong with how it’s set up why isn’t it displaying on the front page? I cannot find the answer in the CSS.

I found out why these items aren’t appearing on the front page for featured articles: the default global settings had them set to be hidden. Even though we were overriding those settings when posting new articles, apparently that doesn’t affect the front page.

We can’t have the default setting be visible for author though because we have a huge amount of older articles on the site that would start using the admin user as author because we hadn’t previously been using aliases.

Is there a way to change the default alias for users so that older articles would appear as we want them and not as if “authored by admin” ?

JA templates have option HIDE and SHOW “Main content”
<blockquote>Admin area->Extensions->Template Manager->JA_Your_Template->Profile tabs->Hide Main content block</blockquote>
You can see it.

I don’t understand why I would want to hide the main content block? Then the featured articles would not appear on the front page, correct? I don’t want that. I want to change the alias for admins/users.
