You have to override the theme function in your template.php file. I think you can not target it directly in node-blog.tpl.php Copy the original function to your theme and rename it: themename_node_submitted() and make the changes you want. If you install dev module you can see on your page which theme_functions are responsible for the theming of the particular items such as $links etc. _____ Van: themes-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:themes-bounces@drupal.org] Namens brendan, fresh-off.com Verzonden: vrijdag 10 april 2009 9:53 Aan: 'A list for theme developers' Onderwerp: [themes] targeting variables in my node-blog.tpl.php file Hello, I can't seem to figure out how to effectively target two different values in my node-blog.tpl.php file: $submitted $links For the $submitted value, I'd like to insert some xhtml tags in there so that I can target them with CSS. Currently it writes the data to the page like this: --- Submitted by super_user on April 9, 2009 - 2:49pm --- But I'd like to get some xhtml tags around the User and the Month. It would also be nice if I could delete the hour - but that's not as important. For the $links value, I'd like to figure out how to remove the Author. Currently, the $links value writes:"Author's Blog", "Read More...", and "Add comments" to the teaser. How do I remove just the "Authors blog" info from the $links value? Unfortunately, I know enough PHP to get myself confused a lot, and I've been googling and searching Drupal.org all day with no luck. Hopefully the nice folks on this list can help!! brendan, fresh-off.com Creative Direction & Consultation: Web | Print | Brand http://fresh-off.com hello@fresh-off.com 206.328.1067 seattle.usa
