    Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    When an administrator with a public profile makes a post to the forum or blog, the name is suffixed "(administrator)". You can remove this text with the following CSS:

    SPAN.postedByComment {
    display: none
    }

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    is there anyway to remove my name on blog posts?

    I personally add all content and my name is plastered everywhere, gets kinda annoying.

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    This CSS code will hide the blog author name:

    SPAN.postedByLink
    {
      display: none
    }

    Hi Jim,

    Do you have a similar fix for the forum/blog Gadget?

    http://beaconfoundation.net

    We want to display the date only - not the author.

    Thanks

    Leigh

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    Hi -

    I have the following in my ccs customization:


    .itemAuthor
    {
      display: none;
    }

    SPAN.postedByComment {
    display: none
    }

    SPAN.postedByLink
    {
      display: none

     

    Previously, this removed "anonymous" from blog posts in the blog widget on the front page, but when I added a new blog, it once again is showing "anonymous" for my latest post (but not the older ones). Any ideas?

    UPDATE: I realized that the above code works if I am logged in as a member/administrator, but I also have an administrator only login that I use most often. If I post as that administrator (who is not a member), then it still shows anonymous. So I was able to fix it by deleting the post and re-doing it with a member/admin login. I will just use that login when making blog or forum posts, but I would be curious if there's any css code that would remove the name regardless of who posted...?

     Thanks!

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    This should remove the "anonymous" label:

    span.postedByLabel
    {
      display: none;
    }

    I have all of the above in my CSS customization and anonymous is still there both on the blog and the gadget. Ideas?

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    For the blog itself you were missing:

    span.postedByLabel
    {
      display: none;
    }
     

    The gadget on the other hand is a bit tricky since you cannot hide just the "anonymous" part without hiding the date as well. To hide both the date and "anonymous" part use:

    div.itemInfoContainer
    {
      display: none;
    }

    Much better! I don't mind not having the date in the gadget.

    Fabulous job, as usual! Thanks so much.

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    One more thing, sorry! I swear this is it!!

    Yes, your fix took off anonymous on the blogs and the gadgets. It's still in the forums though. There is one forum that only I, as administrator, can post to. If it said adminstrator, that would be ok, but it still says anonymous.

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    The easiest way to go is to assign a membership to your admin record - your name is shown instead. You can then set your name to "Administrator" if you want.

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    Is there a way to remove "administrator" from a Forum Summary page?  I would like to have the label "administrator" removed from my name in the "last message" column on the summary page. Shown below is the code I currently have.  The code below does remove it from the actual post, just not the summary.

    /*remove administrator from forum posts*/
    SPAN.postedByComment {
    display: none
    }

    /*remove author from gadget*/
    .itemAuthor
    {
      display: none;
    }

    /*remove administrators name from blog posts*/
    SPAN.postedByLink
    {
      display: none
    }

     Thanks, Anne

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    I see, you are referring to the "administrator" next to the author's name. Unfortunately you cannot just hide the "administrator" part without also hiding the author's name.

    /*** To hide both author and "administrator" label on the forum summary page ***/

    #idForumSummaryPageContainer #idForumListContainer div.boxBodyContainer table td.lastReplyTD div.lastReply span
    {
      display: none;
    }


    /*** To hide author and "administrator" label on a specific forum page ***/
    #idForumContainer #idForumSummaryContainer div.boxBodyContainer table td.lastReplyTD div.lastReply span
    {
      display: none;
    }

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    I found it on another post ! and it worked great ...thanks..this community is the best!

    I have posted it below incase anyone cant find it....

     

     

    You can hide the author and date using:

    #idBlogPageContainer div.boxContainer div.boxInfoContainer h5
    {
      display: none;
    }

    Comments can be hidden using:

    #idBlogCommentsContainer
    {
     display: none;
    }

    The Add comment link is a bit tricky, since it is not possible to hide just this link without also hiding the Read more link, but to hide both links use:

    #idBlogPageContainer .boxFooterContainer .inner .postBottom, #idBlogPageContainer .boxFooterContainer .inner .replyContainer
    {
      display: none;
    }

    - You can then just click on the blog post title to read the rest of the post

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    Jim:

    I am trying to use your recommended CSS code to hide the author ("annonymous") in my forum. I've entered this in the CSS Customization page, but it is not working:

    ********************* 

     #idForumSummaryPageContainer #idForumListContainer div.boxBodyContainer table td.lastReplyTD div.lastReply span
    {
      display: none;
    }

    /*** To hide author and "administrator" label on a specific forum page ***/
    #idForumContainer #idForumSummaryContainer div.boxBodyContainer table td.lastReplyTD div.lastReply span
    {
      display: none;
    }

    ***************

     Also, on this same forum, I have clicked the options so that no one is allowed to comment on posts, but I am still seeing a Comment button on every post!  Is there a way to remove this?

    My site is

    greateratlantaastd.cloverpad.org and the forum is at

    http://greateratlantaastd.cloverpad.org/Job-Line

    Thanks!!

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    Sorry for the late reply, was on vacation.

    In your case the "anonymous" label is shown to the public (instead of your name) because your privacy settings are set to show your name to logged in members only. Try the following CSS:

    /* Hide author name on forum summary only */

    #idForumContainer #idForumSummaryContainer div.boxBodyContainer table td.lastReplyTD div.lastReply span
    {
      display: none; 
    }

    /* Hide author name on forum topic */

     #idForumContainer #idForumDetailsContainer #idMessageListContainer div.boxBodyContainer table.forumMessageTable td.left div.boxBodyInfoOuterContainer
    {
       width: 0px; 
    }

    /* Remove both top and bottom Add Comment buttons on forum topic */

     #idForumContainer #idForumPanelContainer input.forumPanelButton, #idForumContainer #idForumDetailsContainer #idForumBottomPanelContainer input
    {
      display: none;
    }

    Re: Removing (administrator) text from forum and blog pages

    forgive me for asking such a simple question compared to others here.

     

    I see nowhere to edit any CSS when I edit a blog post.

     

    I'd like more control over the name of the author showing in the blog widget and the blog itself as some bloggers have given me permission to post their blog posts--at least a paragraph--that ends up sending the reader to their website for full article.
