Goal - to put a (# of comments link underneath post title in the postmeta area. I have been trying thru trial and error to get this right based on Chris's articles on the blog - but I cannot get it right!!
[php]//add comment link beneath title
function childtheme_postmeta($postmeta) {
return $postmeta;
$postmeta .= comments_number('no responses','one response','% responses');
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_postmeta');[/php]
Help!??

Cathy - off the bat - the php tags are incorrect.
they should be open like this <?php
and close like this ?>
look at this post for an example of how to write functions
Thank you amygail,
I had used [php] 'tags' like a wiki instead of backtick tags like a bb! Oops :)
I have looked at every piece of code in the wiki/ and the how to customize blogs too... For some reason (that reason being that I don't know php) I can't figure this one out! Something to do with the "return" of the existing data, and then somehow adding to the items. Any thoughts?
Don't throw the code into your blender :)
First: Filter $postmeta.
Second: Return $postmeta.
Will be back in a minute .. need to check one thing on my other machine.

.. and I would add a bit markup:
//add comment link beneath title
function childtheme_postmeta($postmeta) {
// add the separator
$postmeta .= ' <span class="meta-sep meta-sep-edit">|</span> ';
// add the additional markup
$postmeta .= '<span class="meta-comments-number">';
// add the comments_number
$postmeta .= comments_number('no responses','one response','% responses');
// close the markup
$postmeta .= '</span>';
// finally return $postmeta
return $postmeta;
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_postmeta');Haven't tested this code ..

This replaced the entire page (under the header) with "Comments (nn)" for each post...
And by the way, that wasn't a blender, that was my brain. One & the same perhaps?
