Turn off author and date credit line in Image Show gk3 module

Does anybody know how I can turn off the Author and Date credit in the Image Show gk3 module? I only want to show the headline and text beneath it.

This applies to the text bar in that goes across the image, as well as the thumbnail headings across the bottom (in the Sporter template demo).

If fact, where is there information about how to set up the template properly? I hope the only answer isn't to set up a Quickstart of the demo...

Thanks in advance,

Goto Joomla Admin Module Manager and select your module then on the right you have "Settings" and lots of line in the box next to it...

Find "show_info=true;" and change it to "show_info=false;"

or you can override by using below css...

Make sure Css override is enabled in Templates features / Dev Tab and add below to templates/gk_sporter/css/override.css..


Code: Select all
/* Hides Date and author info in Image Show GK3 */
.gk_is_text .gk_is_info {
    display: none;
}

Thanks Norman,

That removed it from the main title textblock, but not from the thumbnails. Also, the CSS above caused the title text to move up to fill the space which made it too close to the top of the dark gray bar.

I had to change the margin-top value for gk_is_text from -10px to just 10px (file: templates/gk_sporter/css/gk_stuff.css)

Any further instructions about how to remove the date info from above the thumbnails, too?

Best,

Btw, what module position is the Image Show gk3 module supposed to be published into for the Sporter template? I currently have it in the Highlighter position. Please advise.

Position Header1

Goto Joomla Admin Module Manager and select your module then on the right you have "Settings" and lots of line in the box next to it...

Find "show_info=true;" and change it to "show_info=false;" which also disables info bar on 3 tabs below image....

I must be picking this up... I think you meant to change pagination_date=false;
That did the trick! Thanks again for those new settings.

As for the Header1 module position, unless I'm missing a module class suffix, that position puts a thin ruled box around the entire module, whereas the Sporter demo does not have anything around it. Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to be able to place three smaller modules to the right of the Image Show module, just like the Sporter demo.

Best,
