"Edit by" bothering too many people ;)

Question

Again and again I have to remove the "edit by" notice - which is only possible in core as far as I know: http://question2answer.org/qa/15785/how-to-hide-the-edit-by-notice?show=15785#q15785

because the function is within qa-app-format.php.

Why not make it an option in the admin panel, then it could be:

line 553: 'updateview' => true,

to: 'updateview' => qa_opt('show_edit_by'),

This should be very quick to add...

Comments

if there is any reason against this, just wrap the "edit by" in a div so that we can use CSS to hide it. Currently this is not possible.

Answer 1

It's possible to change this code yourself if you wish to include the functionality you have requested. This probably isn't something that someone would want to change on a daily basis so you should be fine. If you locate a grep program you like, you can easily find the code for the div that you wish to modify and essentially turn it off by hiding the div with CSS.
