Right if you are a J GK geek you're probably reading this so here's the problem...

I need to find a tidy override to remove the large date stamp on the left of the Frontpage blog view (postnote), while retaining it in all the other blog views.

If you have already invented this particular wheel maybe you would like to share your approach.

I guess the best place to start is to target .contentpaneopen .blog-columns. But is there a way to id the frontpage as the intended target effected?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated,

Cheers

EDIT: .*_frontpage or com_content frontpage ?

Before someone says turn it off in the component options at the menu level. That's all well and good but leaves the spacing on the left class = .article-wrap .withtools to deal with, and no options to display the date stamp in the regular form at the head of the article.

Hi,

This elements are override by the template so you can find them in template/html/com_content/category, the default blog item is defined in file blog_item.php. You can backup this file and replace by standard blog_item.php from root/components/com_content and check the results.

All that you need is to modify file in html/com_content/category/blog_item.php, in line 39 you should find this date part.

Code: Select all
<?php if ($params->get('show_create_date')) : ?>
   <div class="gkArticleTools">
      <span class="gkCreateDateDay">
      <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, 'd'); ?>
      </span>
      <span class="gkCreateDateMonth">
      <?php echo JHTML::_('date',$this->item->created, 'F'); ?>
      </span>
   </div>
<?php endif; ?>
