Nope, the file is still in effect.That really depends on the skin you are using.Feel free to copy the file from parent ./skins/ folder into your skin folder to make necessary changes

Thanks for your help but that doesn't work at all. I use a modified evocamp. Posts don't get displayed, instead I have a "parse error".
Maybe I need a container/widget for the code.

It 'should' work. Can you post the error here and a link maybe ?

rename your modified evocamp folder evocamp_modified (not to lose your changes), copy the default evocamp skin from 4.1.6 zip, and again copy _item_content.inc.php from parent folder into fresh evocamp folder, that way, you can make sure if it's your modified skin causing the problem, or something else

It didn't work with the code I copied into _item_content.inc.php. So I inserted a container and added the original code to a widget. Think that's a much cleaner and cooler thing to do.
