Display post meta differently on home page

[donmcleman]

Hi, on the home page and archive pages I want to display post meta after the entry footer (and not display the entry header), whereas on the post I want to display it in the entry header (and not display the entry footer).

At the moment my hack is to display both and 'display:none' one of them using css.

I know there must be some beautiful php code that says something like 'if !home then call the header meta'... but my attempts don't work 🙂

Please can someone help?

Try this http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/entry-header/

Add the is_home() conditional after the function and change hooks if needed

Thank you, Brad! This is the code I've used and it works:

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry header (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
	$post_info = '[post_date]';
if( !is_home() )
	return $post_info;
}

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry footer (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
	$post_meta = '[post_date]';
	if( is_home() )
return $post_meta;
}

I'd also like to remove the footer mark-up on the post as I've given it a border. I thought the following code would work but it doesn't – my php skills are minimal so I can't see what's wrong:

//* Remove the entry footer markup (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'crosswebideas_footer_markup');
function crosswebideas_footer_markup() {
if( !is_home() )
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_close', 15 );
}

Please do you have any suggestions for this part?

Conditional tags should come immediately after the function.

Please start a new topic for your question relating to the footer markup.

Sorry, Brad, I didn't know what this means: 'Conditional tags should come immediately after the function.' You can't mean after the closing curly bracket?

[Brad Dalton]

Here's how you should use them:

 
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if( is_home() )
$post_meta = '[post_date]';
return $post_meta;
}

Well, I would never have worked that out... I must take some sort of intro course.

Thank you!

[donmcleman]

Well, it doesn't actually work... I can see that format working for other functions but it's not working with this one.

This posts both the footer meta and the header meta:

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
if( !is_home() )
$post_info = '[post_date]';
return $post_info;
}

add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if( is_home() )
$post_meta = '[post_date]';
return $post_meta;
}

Any explanation?

[Brad Dalton]

The position of your conditional tag is correct.

Do you have the Genesis Simple Edits plugin activated?

Hi, I don't have that plugin installed, I'm trying to cut down on the number of plugins I use so I'd really prefer a code solution.
