Remove date & time of news article submission?

Is there a way of posting news articles, without including the "date" and "time" of the posting being shown?

Hope this helps:
It´s the datestring.
define("_DATESTRING","");

Thanks Susann for getting me on the right track Dance-Y

I followed through with the reference(s) you supplied and was able to make the correct changes in my lanugage file to eliminate the time and date entry in my news article post(s).

language/lang-english.php

From:

Code:

define("_DATESTRING","%A, %B %d @ %T %Z");

To:

Code:

define("_DATESTRING","");

I just deleted all references to time, date etc. within the "" of the definition and works like a champ, no more time & date entries on the posted articles.

I have being trying to eliminate the ON statement that follows the Author's name and preceeds the above date & time of the articles on my website by editing my theme's theme.php file.

So far I have gotten the article to display submitted by author's name _ (13 reads, comments).

Here is the "original" definition in my theme's theme.php file that I have been working on:

Code:

$posted .= " "._ON." $time $timezone ($counter "._READS.")";

I have tried several different modifications of this string and the website index page goes blank.

Here is what I have in this string now and it installs the UNDERSCORE line in the article post.

Code:

$posted .= " "._." $time $timezone ($counter "._READS.")";

I have went through my language file and can NOT find any kind of definition that will allow me to make this blank or just add a COLON after the author's name.

I wonder what would happen if I took the above code and changed it to the following:

Code:

$posted .= "($counter "._READS.")";

I think I may have been able to figure this out while writing this reply Idea

I will let you know how this works out....

Thank you again for you guidance and feedback my friend.

Well I tried the change in my website's THEME theme.php file on the following line in my website's THEME theme.php file, which the original string is this:

Code:

$posted .= " "._ON." $time $timezone ($counter "._READS.")";

When I tried the following:

Code:

$posted .= "  ($counter "._READS.")";

My website index page dissapeared Embarassed

So, I am seeking any suggestions on how to "clear" the above "._." (displays an underscore, but has eliminated the "on" word) in my news articles following the article author's name and preceeds where the TIME & DATE entries are normally placed (which I have been able to remove, as reported in the previous post of this thread).
