Okay it's easy enough to specify your preferred format for the post date:
function my_time_display($time_display) {
return 'm. F Y';
}
add_filter('thematic_time_display','my_time_display');BUT
What if I need each element of the time in it's own <span> element? How is it done?
ie.
<span>16.</span><span>February</span><span>2010</span>Reason being I'd like to stack each span and style them individually.
Hi,
just escape the right characters :)
function my_time_display($time_display) {
return '<\sp\a\n>m.</\sp\a\n><\sp\a\n>F</\sp\a\n><\sp\a\n>Y</\sp\a\n>';
}
add_filter('thematic_time_display','my_time_display');Chris
.. do me a favor and drop a link for the result :)

Great!
Now adding id or class attributes would be very handy. Through trial and error I can see that this works:
<\sp\a\n \i\d="f\o\o">m.</\sp\a\n>What's your method for properly escaping for the date function?
Is it just referring back to http://au2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php ?

For anybody wanting to customise their post dates so that the day, month and year are within their own spans, see the code below. I broke the date string down into its tokens using the strtok() function (using a hyphen as the separator). Note that the time display function has hyphens in it. This goes in your functions.php file.
function my_time_display($time_display) {
return 'M-d-Y';
}
add_filter('thematic_time_display','my_time_display');
function my_postmeta_entrydate() {
$entrydate = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-entry-date">' . __('Published: ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
$entrydate .= '<span class="entry-date"><abbr class="published" title="';
$entrydate .= get_the_time(thematic_time_title()) . '">';
$date = get_the_time(thematic_time_display());
$day = '<span id="month">' . strtok($date, '-') . ' </span>';
$month = '<span id="day">' . strtok('-') . ' </span>';
$year = '<span id="year">' . strtok('-') . ' </span>';
$entrydate .= $day . $month . $year;
$entrydate .= '</abbr></span>';
return $entrydate;
}
add_filter('thematic_post_meta_entrydate', 'my_postmeta_entrydate');Trying to add a blank space between thematic_time_display proved quite tricky.
I had to escape this in the end and style the "." to my background colour.
return 'j<\sp\a\n/\i\d="b\l\a\n\k">.</\sp\a\n>F<\sp\a\n>,</\sp\a\n><\sp\a\n/\i\d="b\l\a\n\k">.</\sp\a\n>';
Not ideal. There must be an easier way to add a blank space into the string.
This is exactly what I needed thank you for posting it.
