I'm trying to modify the content/article display detail and I'm not sure it that's done from the admin or from the xx.tpl.php file...(and if so which one)

I have something like this (in a custom theme done by someone else..I'm just continuing the work): Text By: XXX Date published : YYY

Ipsum lorem ..x.x.x.x.x.x. .x.x.x.x.x.x.xx..x.x.x.x.x

Comments

I want to move the text by and date.. below the text body..

You can move the author and date by modifying your theme's node.tpl.php file. Specifically, you'll want to move the section that prints $submitted to be below the section that prints $content.

If your theme does not contain a node.tpl.php file, you can override the default by copying the default from /modules/node/node.tpl.php. When adding a new template to your theme, you will need to clear the theme cache, in order for the new file to be recognized.

  • thanks a bunch, I didn't knew from where to find a default template for that, I thought it was the node file, but I wasn't sure. How about if I want different layouts for different content types? – PartySoft Jan 30 '11 at 20:37
  • You can create different layouts for different content types by creating specific node.tpl.php template files for the specific content types, in the format node-[type].tpl.php. See the Core templates and suggestions page for more details: http://drupal.org/node/190815 – Matt V. Jan 30 '11 at 20:49
  • When in doubt about which template file to override, use the Theme developer module: https://drupal.org/project/devel_themer – Matt V. Jan 30 '11 at 20:52
  • node.tpl.php contains only
    , and $content has the actual content, so no way to override it at least from here     – PartySoft Jan 30 '11 at 21:20
  • In that case, install the Theme Developer module mentioned above and use it to find the correct template file to override. – Matt V. Jan 30 '11 at 21:52
