   Hello!
   Tried to "split" the meta to be above and below the posttitle, but when using this code I only get the author below and not the entrydate above the posttitle, do I remove the authorlink I get the entrydate above the posttitle... what is wrong?

   function meta_split_title($thepostheader) {
global $post;
if(is_page() || is_404()){
$thepostheader = thematic_postheader_posttitle();
} else {
$thepostheader = thematic_postmeta_entrydate() . thematic_postheader_posttitle();
$thepostheader = thematic_postheader_posttitle() . thematic_postmeta_authorlink();
}
return $thepostheader;
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader', 'meta_split_title');

   Hi Soren,

   try this code:

   function meta_split_title($thepostheader) {
   global $post;
   if(is_page() || is_404()){
   $thepostheader = thematic_postheader_posttitle();
   } else {
   $thepostheader = thematic_postmeta_entrydate();
   $thepostheader .= thematic_postheader_posttitle() . thematic_postmeta_authorlink();
   }
   return $thepostheader;
   }
   add_filter('thematic_postheader', 'meta_split_title');

   @Soren: Good job on sorting out the code side of things. I have put a link to this thread from your other thread. Probably easier for people to refer to in the future.

   Chris and flink,

   Thanks, but there are some problems with the code. I get a questionmark when moving the mouse pointer over the entrydate and the authorlink I have a hard time to change color on. It is darker then the entry-date and I spent half day trying to change it but I had to give up for the moment. I read many post on the forum and trying to use part of codes here and there copy and paste and see what's happen. When you are a beginner for PHP code, I find it very hard to make it work. Some things work but then other things get messed up...

   @soren: I think it's probably easiest to find the CSS tag for e.g. the authorlink (using the Firefox extensions Webdeveloper or Firebug) and then amend/override accordingly in style.css?

   I'm still learning about Thematic/frameworks etc. as well, so I find looking through the forums very helpful. Great thing is if something messes up, one can always delete it out of the child theme functions.php :p

   I have finally got this code that seems to work for what I want. One thing I wonder about is when you put your mousepointer over the entrydate a questionamark "?" shows up. What is wrong there? Next I would like to put "meta-sep-tag" on both sides of the "[" postcoments "]", how would I do this with the code below?

   Thanks

   
function meta_split_title($thepostheader) {
global $post;
if(is_page() || is_404()){
$thepostheader = thematic_postheader_posttitle();
} else {
$thepostheader = thematic_postmeta_entrydate() .thematic_postfooter_postcomments();
$thepostheader .= thematic_postheader_posttitle() . thematic_postmeta_authorlink();
}
return $thepostheader;
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader', 'meta_split_title');

   @soren: for future reference - the questionmark appears because of the <abbr>, abbreviation HTML tag, in the code for thematic_post_meta_entrydate.
   I guess there is some semantic reasoning behind this but it is possible to remove this.
   Just put this in your child themes functions.php:
   

   // Create custom entry date for post meta
   function child_postmeta_entrydate() {
       $entrydate = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-entry-date">' . __('Published: ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
       $entrydate .= '<span class="entry-date">';
       $entrydate .= get_the_time(thematic_time_title());
       $entrydate .= get_the_time(thematic_time_display());
       $entrydate .= '</span>';
   
       return $entrydate;
   
   } // end child_postmeta_entrydate()
   add_filter('thematic_post_meta_entrydate', 'child_postmeta_entrydate');

   For even more reference:
   Just saw this in the CSS:
   

   abbr, acronym {
   border-bottom:1px dotted #333333;
   cursor:help;
   }

   If you remove or change the cursor:help; then you will change the cursor back to default or you could set it to something else...

   Most of the time there will always be a simpler answer. ;)
