As it says in the topic title; I'd like to yank the author vcard for one category of postings. Can someone give me the appropriate php test condition to evaluate a category name before executing
function remove_postheader_postmeta()
in functions.php? tyvm
OK, I dug into the wp documentation on conditionals, and I crafted this function:
// ---------- Remove author info on Testimonial posts
function childtheme_remove_author() {
if (in_category('Testimonials')) {
/* bye vcard, b/c no output specified - blank return */
}
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_remove_author');
// ---------- End Remove author info on Testimonial posts
...which still isn't working -- it's removing the vcard from ALL posts, not just 'Testimonial' category posts. Any thoughts anyone?
you could either filter this function or the thematic_postmeta_authorlink function. both would probably get you to the same place. and you're spot on w/ your conditionals (as long as it matches the one in your wordpress)
the problem is that you are not returning the value of $postmeta for anything that ISN'T in your conditional, hence overwriting it all w/ a blank, instead of maintaining the defaults.
this is how to properly set up a filter that preserves some of the original values
function childtheme_remove_author($postmeta) {
if (in_category('Testimonials')) {
$postmeta = ''; /* bye vcard, b/c no output specified - blank return */
}
return $postmeta;
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'childtheme_remove_author');Thanks Helga - you're the knees! :Benjamin
