Frontend Article Submission with Custom Field

Hi there people, i've created a news portal site using Joomla 3.5 and using GK Music and GK Magazine as a template. for the CCK. i used latest FlexiContent.

objective of the website is to allow any public editor/people submit their news content to my website as many as possible. Thus my only work is just revised the article and publish them. To know who submit the article. i've created a Custom Field on Fields (FlexiContent). (see image below).


Then this is the view of form submission, i try submit a dummy content to test it :

and the here is the result :

From the result, i want to fix this problem which is i try everthing (google/checking FlexiContent setting/etc. ) but still can't figure out.

1. Hide custom field on article displaying. in this issue, i just want to hide Contact Name and Contact No./ Email.
2. Fix table/bullet/insert image issue.
3. Change "Add & Return" button name to "Submit".
4. Add some custom message like an instruction or guide on top of the Article Submission page.

hope someone can guide me to fix this issue. Many thanks in advance

and this is the website : newsportal.16mb.com

1 in your field configuration/ viewing tab => hide label
2 it's your template css not flexicontent css
3 just use override language of joomla
4 in your type/ FE form tab => you can add text for instruction or doing an module and display only in submit page

no , i mean i want to hide the contact name & no. details on article post.
is it possible ? i mean they still submit their contact details but in article its hidden due to privacy.

you want to diplay in form but not in front-end ?

yup exactly. because the information is only for record. not for display

just remove field in display position in his template (flexicontent template)

Hello

is the frontend display
- Joomla article view or
- FLEXIcontent item view

for Joomla article view the custom fields are just "prepended" to the description
- go to backend "Types" manager and for "article" row in the "Allow joomla article view" click to redirect
