  Hello all,
  I want to modify the look of my articles which I do with the News module. But I cant figure out which template does what. As I'm no programmer I'm stuck with all that smarty/pnrender codes that are too cryptic for me.
  
  My site is www.rhein-sieg-freizeit.de (scroll down to see the news), I just started to add pictures (using HTML) in News.
  Now I need help in doing the following.
  
  Remove the "Date" when an article was postet and the "_POSTEDBY RSF-Admin" - but I dont find the corresponding lines in pntemplates myself.
  Also, where is the "Read more" link in the template as I want to put that under the text so that text and picture are aligned better.

  Hi,
  
  there are several templates used in News, you have the list view in News and the display view when you open a specific article. There are seperate templates for this.
  
  news_user_view.htm takes care of the display in the news list mode. For every item in the news list the template news_user_index.htm is used for its layout. So when used as the homepage module or during listing of news items. In news_user_index.htm you will see the display of the title and hometext, etc.
  You can remove the date and postedby by removing this part:
  

  Code

  <p class="news_meta"><!--[pnml name=_NEWS_POSTEDBYANDON username=$info.informant date=$info.briefdatetime]--></p>

  
  Or disable it by means of Smarty code in the template to be used again later on with
  

  Code

  <!--[* <p class="news_meta"><!--[pnml name=_NEWS_POSTEDBYANDON username=$info.informant date=$info.briefdatetime]--></p> *]-->

  
  
  news_user_article.htm and news_user_articlecontent.htm takes care of the display of articles with use of the display function, so when clicking on a newsitem. news_user_article.htm includes articlecontent (check out the files in /modules/News/pntemplates/*)
  You will see the maintext and a lot of other parameters being displayed.

  Thanks for the hint. After I changed the templates in modules/news with no effect I finally realized that there are extra templates in my theme GoFlexible for the News module....
  That was the solution.
