Drupal - Hiding post information in Acquia Marina

You decided that you don't want the author and date to be displayed below some particular node types but don't know what to do. Th standard way is this:

  • Go to Themes on your Admin page
  • Click on Configure on the top of the page
  • On the right, you have a column 'Display post information on' , uncheck the content types you don't want the post info to be displayed on and click Save Configuration.
Most probably this will remove the post information, but there are chances that it doesn't. This is because what you just changed were Global Settings and you might be using your theme's custom settings. this is specially the case in Acquia themes which are highly configurable. In this case:
  • Go to Themes on your Admin page
  • Click on Configure next to the theme you are using
  • Navigate through the fieldsets like this Theme-specific settings >> Node settings >> Author & date >> Default
  • Uncheck the Check Boxes as required and Save Configuration. This will disable Author and Date from all content types.
  • Now to make the change for select content types, navigate to the same place and you will find a CheckBox labeled "Use custom settings for each content type instead of the default above". check it and select your Custom Settings from the following Fieldsets.
