removing "Comments" etc from News Items header and footer.

I wanted to remove the poster, post date, comments etc links in the News Items main block, and I experimented by commenting out a few lines in the news_item.html template (using a cloned set of templates of course):


<{$story.title}>




<{$story.imglink}>

<{$story.text}>






Now, this worked fine, but if I have more than one news item, they appear to nest inside each other, with the block border getting progressively thicker with each item. See scac.asn.au for details.
Any ideas on how to overcome this? I would like to have a footer at the end of each news item also, just a bar the same color as the header.scac.asn.au

Bassman:

Taking a look at your site, I see you have already corrected the issue. All that's left to comment is the fact that the code as you posted has, after taking out the comments, 4 opening DIV tags and just 3 closing tags. You could have avoided this either moving the first comment opening to the beginning of the DIV class "itemInfo" or moving the first comment closure before the closing DIV tag. But you already know this ...

Cheers.

If you look closely, you start to comment out the item info on line 4 ( which would normally be closed off on line 7, but isn't because it's been commented out. This is causing items to nest.

Therefore, either start your comment on line 3, or end the comment at the end of line 6.

Thanks Horacio :)

Actually I only fixed it after you posted....... what browser are you using? After reading your post I looked at my site and it was unchanged, but your suggestion fixed it.
I'm using IE6.

I would like to remove the "Comments?" as well.

If you take out the "adminlink" and "morelink" from the Block Template.. then how would readers be able to "Read More"?

I tried looking at the news code.. and was toying with the more.link statement (??? I am no PHP expert here).. but that didn't seem to work.

How could I just leave a "Read More" link?
