We'd like to place the Section Name ABOVE the Article Name (not the other way around as is the default setting). Is this a Core Joomla thing or template? And where in the CSS would we make that change.
Thanks

You'll note the Section Name falls beneath the Article Name. We'd like to reverse that.
Thanks

It's KIND OF a core Joomla thing, and KIND OF a template thing:

Thanks Ragdata but I wouldn't know where to begin with all that. I have no idea where the positioning of Article Title and Section Title are located? Is it in the com_content component?
Any guidance would be helpful.

- Yes, the com_content component. Those articles at Joomla.org should give you all the background you need to find the specific files you need to alter - then it's a matter of identifying the particular elements you want to change. It is something that you'll need to get your hands dirty in code with though - if you're not confident with doing that, I'd skip it for the moment.

It seems to me it would be a template issue since in every template I've seen the breadcrumb line is different, and the order or appearance of the Section >> Category >> Title is different.

Think I found the file I need to edit
/components
/com_content
/views
/articles
/tmpl
default.php
I am NO coder. Any hints as to how to reverse the Article Title and Section Title order?
Thanks

Good on you mate. OK - make sure you have a good text editor that will tell you line numbers ... I use Programmer's Notepad (
www.pnotepad.org/
).
Now this is going to get a tiny bit tricky - as there are several things going on in that area ... but we'll do our best to preserve styling and functionality. Make sure you backup default.php first so that you can revert to it if this fails dismally.
1) Cut lines 61-91 (inclusive) out of that file and paste them "in between" lines 10 & 11.
2) Now, copy what is now line 43 (the whole line - <table class="contentpaneopen... and all that PHP) and paste it "in between" lines 11 & 12.
3) Then, "in between" what are now lines 41 & 42 add a new line that is simply "</table>"
Save and upload and you have your custom output override (and have just had your first "fishing" lesson). - Ragdata's Rubber Duck
