Formatting Title Text on Articles (and removing "by [name] Published on [date/time]"

[Dave234]

Hello,

I would like to be able to format the title text on articles of my vbulletin 4.11.


I would also like to be able to NOT display, underneath the title of each article, the "by (person who added the article) Published on January 9th, 2013 12:49 AM"

I contacted vbulletin.com, thinking this could be edited easily. Their response is this:

"you would have to change the templates for this which I believe is vbcms_content_article_page for the article itself.

We officially don't support modifying."

Can someone please assist with this? I really want to change the way the titles appear on each article.

Are you referring to functions of the vBArticles Addon?

A screenshot of your issue would be helpful

[Dave234]

Please see attached an example of what I'm talking about. It's the article title.

Does anybody know what I mean?

[Dave234]

Please someone help me.

[Dave234]

Really? No one has wanted to do this??

Edit templates:
"vbcms_content_article_preview"
"vbcms_content_article_page"

Look for similar code...

Template: vbcms_content_article_preview

<vb:if condition="$showuser">
{vb:rawphrase by_x_nolink, {vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}}
</vb:if>

I have no idea what you want to change it to... so I leave that to you :)

You could just change the phrase, but you would be left with the ",".

Note: The phrase is already in a conditional $showuser, most people just use the CMS option already there. You would only need this if you wanted to customize the area.

Have Fun :)

I just want to delete everything beneath the title ("by El Luchador Rubio Published on November 3rd, 2012 01:40 PM")

Is that possible?

Thanks for responding, by the way.

Did you try editing the article and setting "Display Author" and "Display Publish Date" and all those other settings to No? Is that basically what you are trying to do only your want to edit the template instead?

[Dave234]

You...are....AWESOME!!!!! Thanks!!!!

I wonder how I can edit the text of the title of each article. I would like to change the font, the size, and the color, if possible.

I think it's in the admincp, and that it is in the same screen where I would change the color of any text in the body of the articles. I also would probably want to change that as well.

There is no setting to individually change the style of the title. You could write some CSS to do it though.

[Dave234]

What about to change all of the titles?

[Lynne]

You can write some custom CSS to change the styling of all of the titles.

[Dave234]

How about just for the layperson? I can't do any custom CSS. Basically I'm just trying to see how to do it in admincp.
