Removing page title and 'posted by admin'

Permalink 2 users found helpful
Hi guys I'm a Joomla specialist and thought I'd try Concrete5 out. I'm about 3 hours in and already have my site built! Amazing.

One small issue is I'm unable to remove the words:

Home
Published by Admin

from the main column in blog layout on the homepage. See attached.

How can I remove this? I can't find any settings to turn it off. And my template only works how I want it in Blog layout, so I can't switch styles.

If there's no setting, where is the PHP file that controls this? I tried removing the code from concrete/page_types/blog_entry.php and that did nothing.

Thanks!

it looks like you're using a marketplace theme so that would be in root/packages/theme_name/themes/theme_name and open up blog.php. the code is in there. if its a default theme its in root/concrete/themes

I'm going to make an assumption here that you are using the default theme. If so, here is how you would do it.

Copy the entire concrete/themes/default directory to themes/default.

Within that new directory open the blog_entry.php file and remove the following:

<div class="pageSection">
            <h1><?php  echo $c->getCollectionName(); ?></h1>
            <p class="meta"><?php  echo t('Posted by')?> <?php  echo $c->getVersionObject()->getVersionAuthorUserName(); ?> on <?php  echo $c->getCollectionDatePublic('F j, Y'); ?></p>      
         </div>


That should take care of everything.

Where you went wrong was in editing the concrete/page_types/blog_entry.php file. This is that pages controller, you needed to edit the "view".

If you are not using the "default" theme, all of the above applies, just find the blog_entry.php file within your themes directory.

Great stuff - one more thing - I'm using the free Column Cruiser theme. Do I still need to move the files (I get it, like a template override in Joomla), or can I edit it in place?

Thanks so much for your speedy help guys - awesomeness. Loving C5 already!

you can edit in place.

Great - all done. FYI that didn't work in my theme so I removed the code in concrete/single_pages/blog_entry.php instead. But this info totally got me there, thanks so much! John
