News Module Question

Post by wietster »

Hello all,

i'am playing around with the news module and I would like to hide some fields in the news admin.

The "extra" field and the "date picker" should not be visible in the admin part when you make a new article.

is this possible

And i also like to hide code in the news "content" or "summary"

So that i can place a tag in it that you only see if you change to "source"

Thanx

it's theoretically possible to remove fields in the add/edit article template in modules/News/templates but I haven't tested it.

On the frontend you can remove whatever fields you want from the summary and detail templates.

you can probably also set "display:none" in the CSS for the admin, right calguy?

Hello,

If you want to "hide" (confidentiality), you must remove things for the output in the templates.
If you want to not display (view convinience), you can just "display:none" in the CSS.
