space between articles using {RELATED} and ArticleList color

Dear all,
my version is: rc4 (8-Jun-04)

1. I am using {RELATED:5:XXX} tag. I would like to have some space (seperation) between the article links. They look a bit confusing when they are all stuck together like that... Also, is it possible to have the Artilce Date in front of each article link, using the RELATED tag?

2. I 've been trying to change the color of the article title (frontend.css) in Article Listing in one of my categories. Although I am able to change the size & color of the summary fonts (using .articleList_toptext), it seems impossible to change the color of Article Title.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

check conf.template_default.inc.php.

Article color can be changed by using CSS - but remember possible link colors too.

Thanks very much Oliver!

1. The first issue (spacing between RELATED article's links) is solved!

2. My secind problem with the font colors was a quite tricky one!!! I don't know wheter it is my fault or if there is abug in the script...

I was using an external PHP file {PHP:my_external.php} as footer, with its own style class for font colors, links (grey) etc. So, the script was using that external php file's style...!
Strange huh?

Instead of using a style class in my external PHP, I used simple <font> tags to format its content. Now it's perfect!

Finally, the only issue that still remains is how to have the {DATE_ARTICLE} infront of every RELATED article.
I tried changing conf.template_default.inc.php, but without any luck...

Any suggestions???

Hello

i think that this is not possible! cos you only can use the article date in the template for articles! not together with the related tag.

I was looking also for a possibility to show the article date when I use {RELATED}. This would be very handy so I can show only recent news post, and no updates on my website.

So is there really no way to show the date when using {RELATED}?
