hi everyone!

how i would modify my theme to look like something like this when user has submitted an article, instead of:

Code:

Anonymous writes

i want it to look like:

Code:

Submitted by Anonymous

here is my code:

Code:

/************************************************************/
/* Function themearticle() */
/* */
/* This function format the stories on the story page, when */
/* you click on that "Read More..." link in the home */
/************************************************************/

function themearticle ($aid, $informant, $datetime, $title, $thetext, $topic, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext) {
global $admin, $sid, $tipath;
$posted = ""._POSTEDON." $datetime "._BY." ";
$posted .= get_author($aid);
if ($notes != "") {
$notes = " "._NOTE." $notes\n";
} else {
$notes = "";
}
if ("$aid" == "$informant") {
$content = "$thetext$notes\n";
} else {
if($informant != "") {
$content = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=$informant\">$informant</a> ";
} else {
$content = "$anonymous ";
}
$content .= ""._WRITES." \"$thetext\"$notes\n";
}
$tmpl_file = "themes/MyTheme/story_page.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
}

thank you so much.

Administors preferences . You can change the name and also not allow anonymous users to post, im pretty sure.

Code:

$content = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=$informant\">$informant</a> ";
} else {
$content = "$anonymous ";
}
$content .= ""._WRITES." \"$thetext\"$notes\n";
}

The first $content gets the news author name. After "else" the 2nd $content shows the word "Anonymous". The 3rd $content shows this:

"._WRITES." = shows what is in the language file with the corresponding name.
$thetext = shows the text of the news article
$notes = shows any notes the admin may have put.

To get "Submitted by Anonymous", you will need to change all of the 3 $contents. The code below would get your desired results:

Code:

$content = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=$informant\">$informant</a>  "._WRITES." \"$thetext\"$notes\n";
} else {
$content = "Submitted by $anonymous \"$thetext\"$notes\n";
}
}
