Goal: modify a child-theme of Thematic to make posts display the meta like the following: <ul> <li>Remove reference to the author (single author blog)</li> <li>Modify the date to display the Day of the week, Month, Day and Year</li> <li>Display the post date floated to the left of the Post Title and Content and styled</li> <li>Leave the Category, Tag, Comments and Edit listings/links under the post, as normal</li> </ul> Here's what I came up with: Researching the web, these forums, and especially this post - <a href="http://a.parsons.edu/~zeravivm/f09/osd/12/15/how-to-display-thematic-postmeta-information-in-a-different-location/" rel="nofollow">http://a.parsons.edu/~zeravivm/f09/osd/12/15/how-to-display-thematic-postmeta-information-in-a-different-location/</a> I stuck this into my functions file to filter the thematic_postheader: <code> // Pull the entry_meta into a calendar format function childtheme_postheader() { global $id, $post, $authordata; // Information in Post Header if (is_front_page() || is_single() || is_page() || is_category() || is_tag() || is_author() || is_date() || is_archive() || is_preview()) { $postmeta = '<div class="entry-meta">'; $postmeta .= '<abbr class="published" title="'; $postmeta .= get_the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:sO') . '">'; $postmeta .= '' . get_the_time('D') . ''; $postmeta .= '' . get_the_time('M') . ''; $postmeta .= '' . get_the_time('j') . ''; $postmeta .= '' . get_the_time('Y') . ''; $postmeta .= '</abbr>'; $postmeta .= "</div>\n"; $posttitle = '<div class="entry-title_box"><h1 class="entry-title">' . get_the_title() . "</h1></div>\n"; } elseif (is_404()) { $posttitle = '<h1 class="entry-title">' . __('Not Found', 'thematic') . "</h1>\n"; } else { $posttitle = '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="'; $posttitle .= get_permalink(); $posttitle .= '" title="'; $posttitle .= __('Permalink to ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0'); $posttitle .= '" rel="bookmark">'; $posttitle .= get_the_title(); $posttitle .= "</h2>\n"; } if ($post->post_type == 'page' || is_404()) { $postheader = $posttitle; } else { $postheader = $postmeta . $posttitle; } echo $postheader; } add_filter( 'thematic_postheader', 'childtheme_postheader' ); </code> Then styled it all as such: <code> body { font-family: Frutiger, "Frutiger Linotype", Univers, Calibri, "Gill Sans", "Gill Sans MT", "Myriad Pro", Myriad, "DejaVu Sans Condensed", "Liberation Sans", "Nimbus Sans L", Tahoma, Geneva, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #444; } #blog-title, .entry-title { font-family: Frutiger, "Frutiger Linotype", Univers, Calibri, "Gill Sans", "Gill Sans MT", "Myriad Pro", Myriad, "DejaVu Sans Condensed", "Liberation Sans", "Nimbus Sans L", Tahoma, Geneva, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; } /* Post entry_meta date and title in calendar format */ .entry-meta { float:left; display:inline; width: 60px; text-align:right; line-height:.95; border:1px solid #eee; margin:0 15px 20px 0; } .entry-meta span{ display:block; } .post_date_day_of_week { font-size:150%; color:#ccc; padding:3px; } .post_date_day_of_week { font-size:110%; color:#aaa; } .post_date_month { font-size:175%; padding:0 3px; } .post_date_day { font-size:450%; font-weight:700; padding:0 3px; } .post_date_year { font-size:150%; background:#999; color:#eee; margin:2px 0 0 0; padding:3px; } .entry-title_box, .entry-content, .entry-utility { float:right; display:inline; width: 450px; } </code> And it looks great: Screenshot (while logged in, thus the Edit link at the bottom): <a href="http://artbycas.com/images/post_date.png" rel="nofollow">http://artbycas.com/images/post_date.png</a> As far as I can tell, I got it to work the way I want to; I'm just not sure if the code I cobbled together from many different sources is written in the most efficient way possible - I could be totally butchering it. Any insights as to if there's a better way to do this are appreciated.
