how to disable gravitar/aside column

When displaying joomla articles, the aside column has gravitar logo. I would like to disable the entire aside column and have the author show up in the article under the title. I would like the default joomla behavior there.

How do I go about doing that?

Hi, this box have absolute position.

Code: Select all

.itemAsideInfo {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
}

To make it change you have to modify it, to "relative", delete "top:0;" ,
then make it a little bit wider, from default:

Code: Select all

article aside {  width: 90px;}

To:

Code: Select all

article aside {  width: 300px;}

and put date, category and hits inline by css or editing .php file (gk_simplicity\html\com_k2\templates\default\item.php)




and play some with margins and paddings, which should be easy.

Since I'm not using K2, I found the code that I need to modify in...

templates/gk_simplicity/html/com_content/article/default.php

...the gravitar interface is hardcoded, which is what I suspected. I'll modify the code around this issue by moving the author up under the title and removing the gravitar interface.

Thanks!

Since I've been asked off line, I'll attach the mod that I made to address this. The file that I'm attaching is from v3.8 dated in the extension manager as 01-May-2013. The file that I've edited was:

gk_simplicity/html/com_content/article/default.php

At the end of the header I added code to display the author in a more tradition fashion:

Code: Select all


      </h1>
      <?php endif; ?>
      
      <?php //JNH - BEGIN - mod to display author after title. ?>
      <?php if ($params->get('show_author') && !empty($this->item->author)) : ?>
      <?php $author = $this->item->created_by_alias ? $this->item->created_by_alias : $this->item->author; ?>
      <?php echo '<p class="articleAuthor">'?>
      <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY', $author); ?>
      <?php echo '</p>'?>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php //JNH - END - mod to display author after title. ?>

   </header>

And then I removed the aside code completely:

Code: Select all

   

   <?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayContent; ?>
</div>
<?php //JNH the entirety of the if then around the aside bock removed from this part ?>
</article>



Please understand I'm a php rookie, so if you start asking coding question, I doubt I'll be able to provide any meningful input.
