Hide tabs in Create An Article form

Hi,

On my webpage I have given registered users the option of creating an article. Note this is using Joomla core Create_An_Article form.

This works very well and allows them to do this, pick categories and the comments all work.

All other aspects of my website all seem to work as well, including integration with CB

But there are tabs and fields I would really prefer not to show in the create an article form.

e.g the Metadata tab is not necessary for them to see.

So I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction for how I can make that tab just not show on the front end. E.g if I can be directed to the file where I may be able to comment the section out that would cause it just not to be seen on the front end. I don't actually care if it is in the back-end

.

Please note I do not want to be recommended any plugins. I have gone down that path to find it always causes some other drama. I also do not want that because when I upgrade I can just see problems.

Sorry if I sound frustrated but I have tried so many extensions, looking at overriding templates. But I know it is probably simple and an easy comment out for the tab not to show.

CB has nothing to do with create an article form. That's entirely Joomla. CB Blogs essentially allows Joomla content creation with a more simplified new/edit page that is already included with CB so you could use it. Alternatively there's K2, which has much more customization than Joomla. I think the only way you're going to have what you're wanting with Joomlas create an article form is a template layout override.
