Updated: Comment #77 (comments before #70 are too old to be very useful)
Problem/Motivation
Node content types have a setting "Display author and date information." that allows a site builder to show/hide this information on a per-content type basis. This is not respected in search results.
Proposed resolution
Check this setting from the template.
Remaining tasks
Decide if it's actually possible / practical to fix this issue (see #70)
Write and review the patch
User interface changes
No admin changes. Search results will no longer show this information that should not be shown.
API changes
None
Beta phase evaluation
| Issue category | Bug because the UI says "don't display the author/date" but Search is violating this, so it violates expectations. |
|---|---|
| Issue priority | Just a normal bug. |
| Prioritized changes | The main goal of this issue is to fix a usability bug, which is a prioritized change (both Usability and Bugs are prioritized). As a side effect, we also updated uses of drupal_render() (which is deprecated) to use the Renderer service instead, so that is also a Good Thing. |
| Disruption | Not disruptive, no API change. |
