Hi,

I'm still toying with the idea of using xmspotlight on my homepage but there's a couple of things I need to iron out before I can make a decision.....

1. Where is the date format for the categories set, i.e. the two columns below the spotlighted item?

2. I would want to use category images and these show up great. Trouble is that the text (i.e. the news item title) overlaps the image. I need to tweak the template but can't figure out how to do that - I can see the "tr" tags and the two "td" tags setting the column widths as 50% but nothing obvious in the category area below.

Many thanks

The date format is whatever is set in the news module.

in the block its the file:xmspotlight/blocks/xmspotlight_block_news.php

xmspotlightnewslister is the function used in the categories and $xmspotdateformat is the variable that holds the dateformat.

but gonna have it a module option later in februrary.
