    Hello everybody !

    I need to change display order for postheader_postmeta information (I need to have the date first) but ONLY for single post view (not home/blog etc..) so I tried with this following code without success.

    // Put date first in postheader
function childtheme_postheader_postmeta() {
if (is_single()) { // only for single post
    $mypostmeta = '<div class="entry-meta">';
    $mypostmeta .= thematic_postmeta_entrydate();
    $mypostmeta .= thematic_postmeta_authorlink();
    $mypostmeta .= '<span class="meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date"> | </span>';

    $mypostmeta .= thematic_postmeta_editlink();

    $mypostmeta .= "</div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n";

    return $mypostmeta;
    }
} // end childtheme_postheader_postmeta
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_postheader_postmeta');

    The problem is that the above code works ok when it's a single post, but when it's not the postheader_postmeta info desappears (nothing is displayed) instead of being displayed with the default order.

    Could someone be kind to help me ?
    thank you !

    2 problems that i think i see. first you are only 'returning' the $mypostmeta variable in the is_single() if statement, so nothing will get returned on any other page. Also you are not returning $postmeta at all, which is why it is blank on the other pages. try this:

    // Put date first in postheader
function childtheme_postheader_postmeta() {
if (is_single()) { // only for single post
    $postmeta = '<div class="entry-meta">';
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_entrydate();
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_authorlink();
    $postmeta .= '<span class="meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date"> | </span>';

    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_editlink();

    $postmeta .= "</div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n";
    }
    return $postmeta;

} // end childtheme_postheader_postmeta
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_postheader_postmeta');

    Thank you again Helga, I'm no good at logic, but your guessing was exact :
    This did the trick for me :

    // Put date first in postheader
function childtheme_postheader_postmeta() {
	$postmeta = '<div class="entry-meta">';
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_authorlink();
    $postmeta .= '<span class="meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date"> | </span>';
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_entrydate();

    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_editlink();

    $postmeta .= "</div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n"; 

  if (is_single()) { // only for single post
    $postmeta = '<div class="entry-meta">';
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_entrydate(); //the date first
    $postmeta .= '<span class="meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date"> | </span>';
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_authorlink();

    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_editlink();

    $postmeta .= "</div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n";
    }

    return $postmeta; 

} // end childtheme_postheader_postmeta
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_postheader_postmeta');

    Cheers !

    Hi,

    this is pretty close to perfect .. without testing:

    // Put date first in postheader
function childtheme_postheader_postmeta($postmeta) {
  if (is_single()) { // only for single post
    $postmeta = '<div class="entry-meta">';
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_entrydate(); //the date first
    $postmeta .= '<span class="meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date"> | </span>';
    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_authorlink();

    $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_editlink();

    $postmeta .= "</div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n";
    }

    return $postmeta; 

} // end childtheme_postheader_postmeta
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_postheader_postmeta');

    This will keep the original already created data (see $postmeta in the function line), if it is not a single post. Otherwise it'll create your data. This code is a bit faster. :)
