3 Simple Customizations

[successfirst]

Hi,

I would like 3 simple customizations... at least I think they are simple. :)

1. Only display the author's name, author's picture, and "View all articles by Author” in that box on article pages, not the entire biography.

The author's biography may be long and I don't want to display the text of the biography on article pages, but everything else.

2. Is there a way to auto-approve articles?

3. Is there a way to place the “Featured Articles” on a side panel?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

1. Only display the author's name, author's picture, and "View all articles by Author” in that box on article pages, not the entire biography.Change the templates:
templates > [your_template] > panels > ViewAuthorPanel.html
templates > [your_template] > panels > ViewAuthorPanel.php2. Is there a way to auto-approve articles?Not that I know, but you could give your authors the rights to approve their own articles.3. Is there a way to place the “Featured Articles” on a side panel?I guess you can place the code from that particular homepage section into the desired panel template, but I didn't test it.
