   I putting this again here because last thread was already closed, sorry

   Hi !
   Thank you Ian and Chris , I'am enjoying using Thematic, and it makes me use my brains ;-)

   So now that thematic_postmeta_entrydate() has been implemented I'am trying to style by applying a filter but with no success so far (sorry I'm not very good at coding)
   This is what I tryied so far :

   // Add a custom post meta entry date
   
   function my_postheader_date() {
   
   global $post; ?>
   
   <span class="entry-date">
   <span class="month"><?php the_time('M') ?></span>
   <span class="day"><?php the_time('d') ?></span>
   </span>
   
   <?php add_filter('thematic_postmeta_entrydate','my_postheader_date');
   
   } ?>

   but no luck :(
   Someone please could take a look and direct me to the solution ?

   Thanks a lot

   Ok, to self: remember to better read the docs ....

   This achieved what I was looking for

   function my_postmeta_entrydate() {
   
       $entrydate .= '<span class="entry-date"><abbr class="published" title="';
       $entrydate .= get_the_time(thematic_time_title()) . '">';
       $entrydate .= '<span class="month">' . get_the_time('M') . '</span>';
       $entrydate .= '<span class="day">' . get_the_time('d') . '</span>';
       $entrydate .= '<span class="year">' . get_the_time('Y') . '</span>';
       $entrydate .= '</abbr></span>';
   
       return apply_filters('thematic_post_meta_entrydate', $entrydate);
   
   } // end my_postmeta_entrydate()
   
   add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta','my_postmeta_entrydate');

   Then I could format the date the way I wanted with css to achieve something like this:

   FEB
   15
   2010

   Hope this helps somebody, and spares hours of research

   Thanks

   I was trying to do exactly the same without success: When apply the filter described above to my functions.php,only the date is displayed and both the author and the edit links disappear.

   I know about Ian's working filter for the postheader, but I am trying to understand why this approach doesn't work. Any insight will be appreciated, since I'm new to PHP.

   pictrix i understand now why this approach doesn't work as expected. thanks to helgatheviking, i worked through it here hopefully showing it more clarity/detail.

   by using the code

   add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta','my_postmeta_entrydate');

   JC is replacing the entire thematic_postheader_postmeta... which includes the opening div, authorlink, seperators, entrydate, editlink, and closing div.

   if you follow the entrydate function to its origin you can find that the filter you need to use to replace JUST the date is actually "thematic_post_meta_entrydate"

   given that, here is the code to specifically target just the date

   function my_postmeta_entrydate($entrydate) {
       $entrydate = '<span class="entry-date"><abbr class="published" title="';
       $entrydate .= get_the_time(thematic_time_title()) . '">';
       $entrydate .= '<span class="month">' . get_the_time('M') . '</span>';
       $entrydate .= '<span class="day">' . get_the_time('d') . '</span>';
       $entrydate .= '<span class="year">' . get_the_time('Y') . '</span>';
       $entrydate .= '</abbr></span>';
       return $entrydate;
   } // end my_postmeta_entrydate()
   add_filter('thematic_post_meta_entrydate','my_postmeta_entrydate');
