Zendesk: hide the name of submitter and date in forum article

⚠️ You are reading a post that has been archived. This means the content:
  • could be very old (up to 15 years!)
  • could not be accurate anymore
  • could not represent the views of the author anymore
  • could be in le French

The Problem

It’s a request we have quite often so, even though it’s a one line of code, I thought it might be useful to share this! 🙂

If you don’t want your name to be tied to a forum article, you can create a fake Zendesk user just to post articles.
Another easy way is to use this bit of code to remove entirely the date and the forum submitter name.

An article will look like this:

Create a Global JavaScript widget and put in there the following code.

The code

$j(".entry-container p.entry_user").hide();

It’s available on my GitHub.
