Joomla 1.5 – Remove numbers from Category List View

You may prefer not to have numbers in front of Article titles in Category list view. Joomla 1.5 doesn’t provide functionality to remove this.
This can achieved via a simple core hack.

• Open file:
  components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/default_items.php
• Scroll down to line 69 and delete (or comment out) following code:
  <td align=”right”>
        <?php echo $this->pagination->getRowOffset( $item->count ); ?>
  </td>

Warning: This is a core hack. Any Joomla update may overwrite your changes.

Backup any files you are changing and document the changes.
