forgot to say this, if you modify news_item.html you save the template not in the module templates folder but instead inside a new folder structure you create in your theme folder like this: your theme > modules > news > news_item.html
> then erase templates_c (except index.html) to refresh cache.
This is template overriding, part of the new templating functions XOOPS has. I don't advise the template cloning feature in the system functions. Your custom templates will always be safer in the themes folder.
