The default news module displays news like "category : Article title"

How do I change it to just displays the article title?

In the article.php find a line that starts with
le="color: #000000"><?php $xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_pagetitle'
. The rest of the line should contain variables for your category and article title. Just remove those your don't need.

No, you should not remove things in, or alter, PHP code for changing the view of your site!
The templates are made for that!

So ,alter /modules/news/templates/news_topics_directory.html(?) for removing the title.
If it is enclosed in eg. a div or span tag with some name or id, then you can also use CSS with a display:none or visibility:hidden for removing it from display.

I tried looking for it, and I thought I removed it, but keeps displaying the topic title in the titlebar. The code for this I thought was in templates/news_item.html in the header section,
le="color: #000000"><?php <td class="itemHead">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="itemTitle"><{$story.news_title}></span><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/index.php?storytopic=<{$story.topicid}>"> </a></td></tr>


Thats the line I thought was responsible, and I removed references to topic, but it isn't going away. Any one know where else I might check?

Did you do update for the News module in admin - module admin or set temporary the update template preference setting in admin - preferences - system -general to yes??

What title do you mean? Title of the page as you see in your browser or title close to your article?

I am talking about the title of each individual article, not the title bar of the browser, I'd also like to remove title of the most recent news article from displaying as well.

Basicaly, if I have a topic named "Topic" and an article under that topic named "Article" it displays it as "topic article"

I'd like just to display the article title.


Ghia- I tried both of your suggestions, but it still hasn't changed.

And I'm still unsure about editing the actual PHP of my site, in case it breaks other things.
