CCK fields - how can I remove the formatting guidelines?

Posted by JeniferTucker on June 11, 2009 at 5:53pm

Does anyone know how I can remove this from being displayed underneath a CCK field group?

    * Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd>
    * Lines and paragraphs break automatically.
    * Use <bib>citekey</bib> or [bib]citekey[/bib] to insert automatically numbered references.
    * Use [fn]...[/fn] (or <fn>...</fn>) to insert automatically numbered footnotes.
    * Use [# ...] to insert automatically numbered footnotes. Textile variant.
    * Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically. (Better URL filter.)
    * Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
    * You may use [view:viewname] tags to display listings of nodes.

I installed the 'better formats' module following a link, but this only works with normal content types, such as page, story and any that you create yourself.

Anyone out there having the same problem?

Hiding format tips

Posted by matkeane on June 11, 2009 at 6:48pm

Hi,

I added the following functions to my theme template to override the output, as my site users enter content with an RTE and don't need to worry about the formatting...

/*
* Override filter.module's theme_filter_tips() function to disable tips display.
*/
function mytheme_filter_tips($tips, $long = FALSE, $extra = '') {
  return '';
}
function mytheme_filter_tips_more_info () {
  return '';
}

Posted by klatt on April 7, 2010 at 3:27am

I'm using Drupify as my theme so I changed this to:

function drupify_filter_tips($tips, $long = FALSE, $extra = '') {
  return '';
}
function drupify_filter_tips_more_info () {
  return '';
}

and placed it in my template.php file. Is this the correct place? Did I modify the function titles correctly?

Any help would be appreciated!

BTW I will be at Drupalcon San Fran in a few weeks. Excited to go!

Thanks,
Frank

The most likely reason the method apparently failed was people did not rebuild the theme registry. You have to do that before the theme overrides take effect.

Add the following to template.php in themes/YourThemeName

/*
* Override filter.module's theme_filter_tips() function to disable tips display.
*/
function YourThemeName_filter_tips($tips, $long = FALSE, $extra = '') {
  return '';
}
function YourThemeName_filter_tips_more_info () {
  return '';
