Following up on https://forum.backdropcms.org/forum/how-programmatically-change-type-sav..., I wanted to make sure that the date (created) would show up in the Full content display mode and look OK.

I went into the content type and checked the box to Display author and date information under the Display settings tab, but the actual post display doesn't show this info correctly. Then I tried the same thing with the Post content type, because it's much simpler. That form looks like this:

It shows up on the display as 

<My Name>    <post date>

rather than

Posted by <My Name> on <post date>, which is what the config says. I looked at the HTML as a sanity check, and "Posted by" doesn't appear in it.

1. How to make it follow the config?

2. I would like to move the info to the end of the post rather than have it right under the post title. Is there a way to do that?

ETA:
Even more bizarrely, Views Preview does show the Authoring info as configured for the content type. OK, so that probably means problem #1 is in the contrib theme (Bootstrap Lite) ... because when I edit Views config, I'm using the Seven theme.

Accepted answer

Yes, Bootstrap Lite ignores the settings and prints what's hardcoded in themes/bootstrap_lite/templates/node.tpl.php

You'll need to either modify that template in that folder (to get ideas, take a look at core/modules/node/templates/node.tpl/php) or create a subtheme of Bootstrap Lite and make the modifications there.

@argiepiano - thanks. I'll look into that. Is that the same file to edit to move the info to the end of the post rather than have it right under the post title?

ETA: Nvm. I see it is. Thanks. :)
