question

Posted by dredot on October 13, 2009 at 7:41pm

what about themes that aren't affected by this setting?

How do we enable the setting to take effect on the contributed themes without having to hard-code the displaying line to a comment i.e. "// or /* */"

You can add :

<?php
if ($submitted):
?>

Hard coded "Submitted by..."
<?php
endif;
?>

If you want to be fully standard, replace the hard coded part by :

<?php
print $submitted;
?>

You can then use submitted_by module to customize it.

Would have never found this in a million years, much thanks. So many seemingly basic and standard features can be so hidden and dispersed throughout drupal.

I found it.

Drupal 7 Do Not Display Submitted By

Posted by irritable_badger on August 7, 2011 at 6:36pm

Look under 'Structure'-> 'Content Types' -> then select 'Edit' for either Article or Basic Page. Then select 'Display Settings' and uncheck the 'Display author and date information' box.

I wish I could "Like" this.

I was searching everywhere!

What if I just want By (author's name)

Posted by ereq on December 8, 2011 at 8:10pm

What if I just wanted to remove the word Submitted and just leave By author's name.

Is this possible?
Thank you.
