Hi Guys,
I'm trying to customise my post footer and I can't quite get it right. I'm hoping that someone can suggest a chunk a code for my child theme that will solve the problem, here's how I want it to look:
This entry was posted in *category*
Bookmark the permalink | Leave a trackback: Trackback URL
I want to omit all of the 'post a comment' and 'tagged' stuff.
All help will be gladly received!
Thanks alot
Ollie
hi ollie,
using the latest svn version here
you can use childtheme overide functions more info here
i've tested the following and it works for me
function childtheme_override_postfooter() {
global $id, $post;
if ($post->post_type == 'page' && current_user_can('edit_posts')) { /* For logged-in "page" search results */
$postfooter = '<div class="entry-utility">' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
$postfooter .= "</div><!-- .entry-utility -->\n";
} elseif ($post->post_type == 'page') { /* For logged-out "page" search results */
$postfooter = '';
} else {
if (is_single()) {
$postfooter = '<div class="entry-utility">' . thematic_postfooter_postcategory() . thematic_postfooter_postconnect();
} else {
$postfooter = '<div class="entry-utility">' . thematic_postfooter_postcategory();
}
$postfooter .= "</div><!-- .entry-utility -->\n";
}
// Put it on the screen
echo apply_filters( 'thematic_postfooter', $postfooter ); // Filter to override default post footer
} // end postfooter
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() {
$postconnect = __('. Bookmark the ', 'thematic') . '<a href="' . apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink()) . '" title="' . __('Permalink to ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '">';
$postconnect .= __('permalink', 'thematic') . '</a>.';
// Display edit link on single posts
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
$postconnect .= ' ' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
}
return apply_filters('thematic_postfooter_postconnect',$postconnect);
} // end postfooter_postconnectlet me know how you get on
also, if you'd like to change the text "This entry was posted in"
paste function below and adjust the three fields for single and category pages
in the example, i've changed it to display "filed in"
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postcategory() {
$postcategory = '<span class="cat-links">';
if (is_single()) {
$postcategory .= __('Filed in ', 'thematic') . get_the_category_list(', ');
$postcategory .= '</span>';
} elseif ( is_category() && $cats_meow = thematic_cats_meow(', ') ) { /* Returns categories other than the one queried */
$postcategory .= __('Also filed in ', 'thematic') . $cats_meow;
$postcategory .= '</span> <span class="meta-sep meta-sep-tag-links">|</span>';
} else {
$postcategory .= __('Filed in ', 'thematic') . get_the_category_list(', ');
$postcategory .= '</span> <span class="meta-sep meta-sep-tag-links">|</span>';
}
return apply_filters('thematic_postfooter_postcategory',$postcategory);
} // end postfooter_postcategoryHi Jonny,
Thanks alot for your reply. I've added the code to my child theme but the post footer is showing the same as before.
I'm running WordPress 3.0.1 and Thematic 0.9.6.2. I think I may need to grab a newer version from the thematic4you site, is this correct? Don't wanna get it wrong as I'm no expert!
Thanks again
Ollie
yes, it doesn't work because the 'childtheme_override' function doesn't exsist in that release.
grab latest copy from the link i provided above. it will work.
Hi Jonny,
Right, new version is installed and working. It's almost there, I can't see the trackback link showing, is it working for you?
With regards layout, I'd like to have the 'posted in' text on one line and then the 'permalink' and 'trackback' text on the line below, is it possible to do this? Also, I'd like to have the '|' character instead of the '.' character as a separator.
Really appreciate your assistance with this one!
Cheers
Ollie
ok, misread you wanted to keep trackback link
this is the code for your functions.php
function childtheme_override_postfooter() {
global $id, $post;
if ($post->post_type == 'page' && current_user_can('edit_posts')) { /* For logged-in "page" search results */
$postfooter = '<div class="entry-utility">' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
$postfooter .= "</div><!-- .entry-utility -->\n";
} elseif ($post->post_type == 'page') { /* For logged-out "page" search results */
$postfooter = '';
} else {
if (is_single()) {
$postfooter = '<div class="entry-utility">' . thematic_postfooter_postcategory() . thematic_postfooter_postconnect();
} else {
$postfooter = '<div class="entry-utility">' . thematic_postfooter_postcategory();
}
$postfooter .= "</div><!-- .entry-utility -->\n";
}
// Put it on the screen
echo apply_filters( 'thematic_postfooter', $postfooter ); // Filter to override default post footer
} // end postfooter
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() {
$postconnect = __('Bookmark the ', 'thematic') . '<a href="' . apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink()) . '" title="' . __('Permalink to ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '">';
$postconnect .= __('permalink', 'thematic') . '</a><span class="meta-sep meta-sep-tag-links"> | </span>';
if ((comments_open()) && (pings_open())) { /* Comments are open */
$postconnect .= __('Leave a trackback: ', 'thematic');
$postconnect .= '<a class="trackback-link" href="' . get_trackback_url() . '" title ="' . __('Trackback URL for your post', 'thematic') . '" rel="trackback">' . __('Trackback URL', 'thematic') . '</a>';
} elseif (!(comments_open()) && (pings_open())) { /* Only trackbacks are open */
$postconnect .= __('Leave a trackback: ', 'thematic');
$postconnect .= '<a class="trackback-link" href="' . get_trackback_url() . '" title ="' . __('Trackback URL for your post', 'thematic') . '" rel="trackback">' . __('Trackback URL', 'thematic') . '</a>';
}
// Display edit link on single posts
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
$postconnect .= ' ' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
}
return apply_filters('thematic_postfooter_postconnect',$postconnect);
} // end postfooter_postconnect
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postcategory() {
$postcategory = '<span class="cat-links">';
if (is_single()) {
$postcategory .= __('Posted in ', 'thematic') . get_the_category_list(', ');
$postcategory .= '</span>';
} elseif ( is_category() && $cats_meow = thematic_cats_meow(', ') ) { /* Returns categories other than the one queried */
$postcategory .= __('Also posted in ', 'thematic') . $cats_meow;
$postcategory .= '</span>';
} else {
$postcategory .= __('Posted in ', 'thematic') . get_the_category_list(', ');
$postcategory .= '</span>';
}
return apply_filters('thematic_postfooter_postcategory',$postcategory);
} // end postfooter_postcategoryalso, in your css file you need to add
.cat-links {
display:block;
}this will seperate category links and bookmark to seperate lines
tested here
http://www.dev.virtualpudding.com/
for future ref... check out
http://thematic.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/library/extensions/content-extensions.php
it includes the functions that thematic uses to display content
by using childtheme_override's you can manipulate this to how you want it to look.
it can take some time to get your head around but when it clicks, you'll be moulding your themes quicker than ever
hope this works for you
oh, by the way, if this does solve it, please remember to mark this post as resolved
Hi Jonny,
Thanks for that, it's working nicely. A couple of oddities have occurred since upgrading to the latest SVN:
1. I had some code in my functions.php to add a 'Home' link to the main menu, this now breaks the menu.
2. My links no longer shown in the sidebar. I have tried to put them in with the widget but without success.
Any ideas on these?

You should now use this code to add "HOME" to menu:
function childtheme_menu_args($args) {
$args = array(
'show_home' => 'Home',
'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
'menu_class' => 'menu',
'echo' => false
);
return $args;
}
add_filter('wp_page_menu_args','childtheme_menu_args');As found here: Breaking things to fix others

Thanks 11thinking, home page problem is resolved.
How can I get r715? I've downloaded the latest development release version from thematic4you but this one isn't working.
Cheers

Hi Ollie, here's the tutorial on how to get the latest SVN copy. I just checked that the latest revision is r718.
Please note that a SVN copy is not fully tested, therefore I'd rather use the more stable development version. This sticky post explains the difference.
Hi 11thinking, many thanks for the info.
I've managed to grab the updated file (r715) from the Google code site and replaced the existing file in my Thematic install folder which has sorted the problem. This probably isn't quite the right way but it's done the trick so I'll leave things as they are until the next stable release comes out.
Thanks again to you and to Jonny Janeiro, all your help is hugely appreciated.
