How to Remove Author & Created Date From Articles in Joomla 1.6

I ran into an issue with a couple of homepage articles in Joomla 1.6 that would not allow me to set the author, date and time to not display either at the article or global level. I found a way to do this in the code.

1. In the root directory, go language/en-GB
2. Modify ‘en-GB.com_content.ini to not include anything between the quotes for the following:
1. COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY=”" (author)
2. COM_CONTENT_CREATED_DATE_ON=”" (created date)
3. Save and upload.

 

How to Add YouTube Videos or iFrames to Joomla Pages

We ran into this twice recently when trying to add YouTube videos or other iFrame elements to our Joomla pages. The code cleaner removes the code from the page upon save, so the solution is to turn off the code cleaner.

1. Go to plugins.
2. Find the editor you are using (commonly TinyMCE).
3. On the right side, change Clean code on load = No.
4. Clean code on save = Never.

From there, your code should remain intact when you save allowing you to add YouTube or other iFrame elements to your Joomla pages.

Reminiscing

Welcome to the new blog home of Websites to Impress. We’ve made some changes this year -upgraded to a new office where we can spread out – redesigned the company website – and embraced all types of new technologies to bring our clients the latest and greatest. We have been delivering web solutions to our clients for over seven years and we have seen many advancements in this time.

Remember when people used FrontPage templates to create their website?

Remember when animated cartoon graphics were the greatest?

Remember when we had to check to see if we were using a “web safe” color?

The web has come a long way. Many people call our current era Web 2.0, but it makes me wonder when Web 3.0 will arrive and what changes we will see to warrant this numerical upgrade. We are excited to see what comes next and we thank our clients for always looking to take their websites to the next level – keeping us on our toes and ready for the next new thing.
