Hello, I'd like to separate the author name and the created date info in the in article details list view

meaning that I'd like to be able to display them in different divs, with different styles

currently both the blog and the simple-list template seems to call these variables using $author for both of them, so it's not possible to separate them

maybe I should investigate the "table" template instead?

thank you

You can find place where it sets $author. FOr example

$author[] = JText::sprintf('WRITTEB BY', CCommunotyHelper::getName($item->user_id))

Then you can use this code directly in nay place of your template.

Correct but you have to replace $author[] = to echo.
