Configure a
Kicker, a
Byline and a
Footer for posts and pages by arranging these
Post Info Items.
Some of these post info items have one or several
parameters:
- You can leave parameters empty but do not remove their single quotes, even if the parameter is empty.
- Replace the parameter
delimiter with what you want to put between the list items of the tag or category list, i.e. a comma.
- Replace the parameters
before and after with what you want to display before or after that info item. If an item has these "before/after" parameters, use them instead of
hard coding text before and after that item: Example: Use
%tags-linked('Tags: ', ', ', ' - ')%
instead of
Tags: %tags-linked('', ', ', '')% -
- Replace the parameter
linktext with the link text for that item.
HTML and
icons can be used, inside of parameters, too, just not inside the date item:
<image(someimage.gif)> to include an image. Note: The image item doesn't have quotes- To use your own images, upload them to /[theme-folder]/images/icons/
Icons
Currently available images (Once you uploaded yours they will be listed here):
$file) {
echo '
 . '/images/icons/' . )
<image(' . "$file" . ')>';
}
?>

Post Info Items
List of available post info items:
%author%
Prints the name of the author of the post.
%author-linked%
Prints the name of the author of the post, and links it to a page listing all posts by that author.
%date('F jS, Y')%
Prints the date and/or time the post was published at. Many configuration options at
PHP Date.
Because most letters of the alphabet represent a certain date/time output function, you will have to
escape each letter that you want to display LITERALLY, for instance, to
include words like
at,
on, or
the somewhere
inside the date output. To
escape a letter put a hash sign
# right before that letter. (Please note that this is different from the original "PHP way" of escaping with backslashes
\. The theme needs the hash sign
#).
That will tell the theme that you mean the actual letter and not the corresponding PHP date function.
How to escape literal strings
- on ->
#o#n
- of ->
#of (Note how the the lowercase f didn't get a #. That's because f is one of the letters of the alphabet that does not represent a PHP date function)
- at ->
#a#t
- the ->
#t#h#e
- The arrows just illustrate how to change a word to display it literally inside a date function, don't use them
Examples:
%date('F j, Y, #a#t g:i a')% displays: December 10, 2008, at 5:16 pm
Note how the letters a and t of the word at are escaped with #
to display them literally instead of interpreting them as PHP date functions.
%date('F j, Y, g:i a')% displays: December 10, 2008, 5:16 pm
%date('m.d.y')% displays: 10.12.08

%comments('No comments', '1 comment', '% comments', 'Comments closed')%
Prints a link to the comment section of the post. The link text depends on the comment count & status (open/closed).

- Replace
'No Comments' with your link text for posts that have no comments yet
- Replace
'1 comment' with your text for posts with 1 comment

'% comments' with your text for posts with 2 or more comments. The % (percent) character

'Comments closed' with your text for posts where comments are closed.
