News_latest modification

How could I change news_latest template to avoid showing the word "author" in meta-tags or at least change it to something else like "published by" or something like that:

Code:

---

<p class="info"><time datetime="<?php echo $this->datetime; ?>"><?php echo $this->date; ?></time> <?php echo $this->author;?> <?php echo $this->commentCount; ?></p>

---

I can't find from where is getting the word "author" in front end view.

The text is in the language files. You can override those by making your own extension (create directory /system/modules/ownextensionname). In there make a directory language, and in there a directory for every language. In the language/yourlanguage create a file default.php

Code:

---

<?php
$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['author'] = 'published by';

---

This way it is changed everywhere.

ps, I don't like the new xlf files Contao 3 uses; less readable, harder to change and possibly more work for the server to process. But .php files are still accepted :)

Thanks a lot! It works. :D

Regarding ps, I still use 2.11 so I am not familiar with changes in C3. :)

Hi, again.. I have one more question. I wonder if it is possible to change grid display of latest news (or any other news template, principle is the same) like it's shown on image below:

Could it be arranged by CSS?

Thanks.

PS. I found the solution:

Code:

---

display: inline-table;
