LyX ⇒ classicthesis | Remove Package Version Number

[Dan271]

I have been using ClassicThesis template in order to write my thesis, available at http://code.google.com/p/classicthesis/ ... p&can=2&q=. I am about to complete my thesis. However, I am stuck with the appearance of [date--classthesis version 4.0] that appears at the bottom of every page. I do know how to remove it. I commented it wherever I found the command that generates this, but I still cannot get rid of it. I would be thankful if anyone could help me out.

Seems that you are using the unofficial development version. You better use the official release version of the classicthesis package that is located on CTAN. It should be part of your TeX distribution but might need to be installed subsequently by the package manager.

Well, I never really got around with the CTAN thing. Every time I try to install some package, there is some message like the website cannot be connected. Hence, I migrated to using simple Lyx. And I finally found this beautiful template for a thesis, where I have been able to figure things out for myself, except this part which I mentioned in my earlier post. Thank you for bearing with my ignorance !!!

Ok. Here is what I did in Lyx. Go to Documents, Settings, Class Options, Uncheck Predefine and Custom the following: fontsize=11pt,paper=a4,twoside,openright,titlepage,numbers=noenddot,headinclude,BCOR=5mm,footinclude=false,cleardoublepage=empty. I see that this pushes the [date- classicthesis version 4 ] that appears on every page to the bottom. But still a top part of the letters are visible. Now I need help on completely suppressing this part !!!

Hopefully you have found this out since you posted, but removing that footer is actually quite easy. It is designed to help keep track of drafts and is controlled by an option in classicthesis-config.tex

At the top of that document is:

Code: Select all

\PassOptionsToPackage{.....

One of the options passed will be: drafting
Comment this out and the footer will disappear.

EDIT: Have just realised you were specifically asking about the Lyx version. I suspect the above applies but I don't use Lyx. If not try putting drafting=false into the options.

I also had this problem and i solved in this way:
1. Open the file: "classicthesis.sty"
2. Search the line: "\DeclareOption{drafting}{\setboolean{@drafting}{true}}"
3. Change that "true" for "false"
4. Save it and compile tha main file and the top of those letters will disappear.
