Author Link for Comments was created by Joshua Cavin
Hello,I have two problems that are very similar. I have it set up so users can comment on K2 items. When they leave a content a link is created with their name. If you click the link it will send you to a new page that displays any articles they have written. I want to remove the link and keep the commenters name. I am not sure which php file I am suppose to alter. Can someone help me please :) The second problem is the same, but for mod_k2_comment. I want the name displayed without the link to the author page. cheers!-Josh

I thought I had it, but nothing is changing. I found this item.php file here /com_k2/templates/default/

I removed this from the file near the bottom.

userLink; ?>" title="" rel="nofollow">


no effect

Hi Josh,
The proper way to do this is to copy the file to your template directory, rather than directly editing the default.

You should copy the original to:

/templates/{your template name}/html/com_k2/default

The code for the comments block is at the bottom of the item.php template. Look for the:

class="commentAuthorName" span. It looks like you did identify the area, but if you really want to disable this, then you should remove the entire if - else - endif block and just leave the:

echo $comment->userName;

If you have joomla configured to use the apc cache, or perhaps any other caching, make sure you clear the cache after a change like this.
