LyX ⇒ beamer | Remove Institute Name from Footer

[EigenGoofy]

Hi all!

As the attachment shows, there is annoying "Department of Hell University of" appeared on the footer. How do I remove this without affecting rest of part of slide?

The following code is loaded in my preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}
\usepackage{calligra}
\usepackage{listings}

\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}

\usecolortheme{crane}
\useoutertheme{infolines}

\setbeamertemplate{headline}
{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}{section in head/foot}
    \vskip2pt \hfill \insertsectionnavigationhorizontal{\linewidth}{}{}  \hfill  \vskip2pt
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
}

Thank You!

I do not get what you get..

Code: Select all

\documentclass[compress]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>

    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{graphics}
    \usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}
    \usepackage{calligra}
    \usepackage{listings}

    \usetheme{CambridgeUS}
    \setbeamercovered{transparent}
    \usepackage{ae,aecompl}

    \usecolortheme{crane}
    \useoutertheme{infolines}

    \setbeamertemplate{headline}
    {%
      \begin{beamercolorbox}{section in head/foot}
        \vskip2pt \hfill \insertsectionnavigationhorizontal{\linewidth}{}{}  \hfill  \vskip2pt
      \end{beamercolorbox}%
    }
\title{Section 5.4 Midsegment Theorem}
\author{Mr. Bennett}

\begin{document}
\maketitle



\end{document}

it would be easier if you included a minimum working example to work with. The above code is one that I use in class. Did somebody put some info in your slide you are unaware of? Please post the exact file...

Hi, coachbennett1981!

The attachment is my example. Please note that this forum does NOT allow me to upload file with extension *.lyx. So I change my file extension into *.txt. If you want see the file, you must change my file extension back to *.lyx, otherwise you can not correctly see my file.

And you must have lyx with version 2.0 in order to load the file.

Thank you, coachbennett1981!

By the way, your code does not work for lyx 2.0

It returns error:"
! LaTeX Error: Two \documentclass or \documentstyle commands.

\documentclass[compress]{
beamer}
The document may only declare one class.

[…] Please note that this forum does NOT allow me to upload file with extension *.lyx. So I change my file extension into *.txt. If you want see the file, you must change my file extension back to *.lyx, otherwise you can not correctly see my file. […]

You can always put the *.lyx file into a RAR or ZIP archive and upload this.

The beamer theme "CambridgeUS" uses the outer theme "infolines". In the corresponding configuration file called »beamerouterthemeinfolines.sty« the foot line is defined with the institute name in parentheses. A slight modification should let this data disappear. These lines would go into the document preamble.

Code: Select all

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{infolines theme}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
    \insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex} 
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

Hello, Thorsten (Localghost?)!

If I directly copy your code onto my pre-amble, it returns error:
! LaTeX Error: Command \beamer@@tmpop@footline@infolines theme already defined.
Your command was ignored.
Type I <command> <return> to replace it with another command,
or <return> to continue without it.

However, there are couple of ways to modify it so that it can work in LyX. For example, replace the first line from your code by

Code: Select all

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{infolines}

or, another method is to replace the first line your code by

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{footline}

So the code in my pre-amble looks like:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}
\usepackage{calligra}
\usepackage{listings}

\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}

\usecolortheme{crane}
\useoutertheme{infolines}

\setbeamertemplate{headline}
{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}{section in head/foot}
    \vskip2pt \hfill \insertsectionnavigationhorizontal{\linewidth}{}{}  \hfill  \vskip2pt
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
}

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{infolines}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
    \insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex} 
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

Thank you so much, Thorsten~ Now I am going to give a wonderful presentation!
