I'm using the TMA Custom theme on a project, but wanted to change/remove some of the meta text. I want to remove the "Submitted by" string, printing only the username and date posted. Also, I want to stop the theme from displaying the taxonomic category ("in "). How do I accomplish this? Thanks.

Hi,

Copy node.tpl.php and any node*.tpl.php files from the default tma2 theme into your tma_custom directory and then edit them (node-story-teaser.tpl.php overrides node-story.tpl.php which in turn overrides node.tpl.php). Depending on which file you change, you can make modifications to story teasers, story nodes, or nodes in general.

You can use this technique to delete the "In " from the node displays.

You can also do this for the "Submitted by" information, but an alternative and maybe better way is to visit .../admin/build/themes/settings on your site and edit the Display post information on checkboxes.

For reference information, you can try http://drupal.org/theme-guide/6.

Thanks! The problem with unchecking the theme configuration is that it removes all of the meta, including the user name and datestamp.
