I don't know if this would appeal to anyone, but I wanted to over use the "news by this author" links, and I didn't like the format of the "Posted by" links on the news module, if you change line 504 in /modules/news/class/class.newsstory.php to


Everywhere you used to have a link that would send your visitors to the authors user info, now sends them to the "News by this author" link. - again, it was handy for me, might not be for you.

This works well for me on 1.3, I don't see why it wouldn't work on all, the line number just might be off though, on different versions.

My example, and shameless plug, would be http://www.knewstalk.com where I wanted the authors names to be links to the news by this author page.

Try to edit the templates on the template directory . To find the coresponding template check for the line xoopsconfig['usetemplate']="sdsd.html" on th ephp file.

Edit the posted by on the template file to what ever u like
After editing please update the module to reflect the change.

The templates ar elocated in the modules/templates directory

the template will be descriptive
