roksprocket disable article tags

Question

I am using roksprocket as a simple to use filter system of articles. Sadly I could not find a way to disable the badly looking tags underneath the modules itself. Of course there is a possible to use CSS with

display: none;

but is that the only way for roksprocket?

an example of the issue can be found in this free UML tool article

You can try the following:

I did not check if there is a possibility to override the roksproket layouts in the template manager, since I do not use roksproket, but you can find the tags part of the mosaic theme layout here:

in yourjoomla/com_roksproket/layouts/mosaic/themes/default folder in item.php file.

If you open that file and // comment out the lines from line 59 to 67 then the tags will not show up anymore in your mosaic item layout on your pages.

So this part of the code has to be commented out/overriden or deleted:

We do not need the ugly tags here:

<?php if (count($item->custom_tags_list)) : ?>
    <ul class="sprocket-mosaic-tags">
    <?php
        foreach($item->custom_tags_list as $key => $name){
            echo ' <li class="sprocket-tags-'.$key.'">'.$name.'</li>';
            }
    ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

This action does not influence the tags on any other parts or layouts of the sites, only where these mosaics are displayed.

I hope this can be in help of you.
