We also needed to comment out the \advisor, \reader, and \class commands to avoid defining them (and thus causing extra text to appear in the footer).
The footer code only adds the advisor/reader bits if they're defined. Maybe they should check to see if they're set to something other than nil ({}
). And the same for the \class
, too.
Right now, we define a bunch of things to create the header and footer that expect the poster to be either a thesis poster (in which case we put the class name and number at the head of the header, and maybe put an advisor or reader in the footer) or a Clinic poster (where we format the header and footer otherwise).
To make the poster class more generic (i.e., more suitable for summer research posters and the like), we need to add an additional option or have some fallback formatting so that the headers and footers work better.
For example, with a summer poster using the thesis DCO, we can adjust things as follows to make the header smaller as well as to not include the class line at all:
