Two Things I Need Help With
Bradley

Click here to view a news article at my website; you will need this to answer my question.
Here it goes:
1.) In the What's Related block, how do I make the bullets like the rest of the bullets on the site, such as on the Leafs news block.
2.) How do I change the "contributed by-line" to saying the users full name rather than their username!
Thank you very much!

The What's Related block doesn't use the COM_makeList() function - that's an ommission, obviously.
To fix that, you would have to change admin/story.php so that it adds all the related links to an array and then calls COM_makeList() with that (instead of using hard-coded <li> tags). You'll find examples of how to do that in lib-common.php.
The "contributed by" is set in function COM_article() in lib-common.php and in article.php. If you search for "contributed" you'll find them easily. You will see a database query for the username there - changed that to query the full name.
Be aware though that the full name is optional, i.e. not all your users will have set it. You'd better add a check for whether it's empty ...
bye, Dirk
