I have been asked to make some changes to the author/date display view. I have been looking at the files in the com_content and cannot seem to find the file that controls the look of the Details region.

This is the way it currently looks on the site:

I want it look like this:

Thursday, March 29 2012

So I need to flip the author and date information. Plus I need to remove "Published on".

I have looked at many details.php and views files but cannot find it. Hopefully someone knows.

Thank you,

(a) To switch the lines displayed, you have to edit the file default.php that is located in the directory \components\com_content\views\article\tmpl.

Being a core Joomla! files, suggest using the output override technique as documented at http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_output_from_the_Joomla!_core.


(b) To remove the words "Published on ", you have to edit the following language string available in the file en-GB.com_content.ini located in the directory language\en-GB. Edit the text within double quotes.
Code:
COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE_ON="Published on %s"


Be informed that in the latest version of Joomla!, in the Template Manager, you could create language overrides.
