I am using Drupal 4.4.x CVS. I like that now in comments you can disable the viewing/rating options. Is there a way to disable displaying the name of the author and time of the post from stories and blog entries from the Administration interface? I can do that from the theme, but I'd really like to have something like that in the admin ui. Two author-time related features I'd like is: 1. ability to disable author/timestamp for original author of a blog/story/book page post and 2. have the author/timestamp in the comments made to the said blog entry and stories. These are useful for sites that are maintained by a handful of members who are not too concerned about authorship or moderation but still allowing mostly anonymous users to comment as themselves.

Actually, it would be interesting to know how to disable author/timestamp from the themes. I'm still trying to figure this one out

Thanks,

Jens

Administer > Themes > Configure
Look at option to Enable or disable the "submitted by Username on date" text when displaying posts of the above type, is that what you are looking for?

For the record, that will work with Drupal 4.5 but not with Drupal 4.4. In Drupal 4.4 you would have to edit the theme manually, but I see it was an old post :)

This functionality is also supported in 4.6.

On a fresh install of Drupal 4.6, I went into

administer --> themes --> configure --> global settings and unchecked "pages" under Display Post Information on.

But I still see my created pages displaying both the username and date of posted pages.

Could anyone advise on what I might be doing wrong?I am using the Manji2 theme.

Thanks in advance.

Ok look like for PHPTemplate the steps are different. Maybe it will be built into the user interface in a future version?

Found the instructions right here:
