I am using the authblk
package on a modified LaTeX report class and I require to show the author as a footnote on every page, without affiliations (still showing the affiliations on the title page). the problem is that when I use the \@author
command on my modified class, it shows the author with the affiliation indexes. Is there any way to remove it?
Class Code:
\ProvidesClass{ThesisClass}
\LoadClass[twoside,11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[noblocks]{authblk}
% redefine \author command
\def\@author{}
\renewcommand\@author{\ifx\AB@affillist\AB@empty\AB@author\else
\ifnum\value{affil}>\value{Maxaffil}\def\rlap##1{##1}%
\AB@authlist\\
\else \AB@authors\fi\fi}
% Define \institutes command
\def\@institutes{}
\renewcommand\@institutes{\AB@affillist}
% HEADERS AND FOOTERS
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[R]{\@author}
One of the reasons I defined a \institutes
command is to be able to setup a \supervisors
command that can share the affiliations with the authors.
