[SOLVED] Filter metadata

[jana]

I'd like to move the filter meta data to the .datetime span - if that's possible, that is. So, instead of '4 December 2010 at 13:00' it should display something like '4 December 2010 at 13:00 in *some filter(s)*'.

What do I have to change in/add to my theme layer? Solution can be found here :)

This is what I have so far: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layersource?id=180318

Note that class myClass must be at the very top of your layer.

I haven't tested this very thoroughly but one issue I noticed is that it prints the metadata container after entry text when you've got a filter but not other metadata. I don't know how to fix this.

I've added the layer code and it works so far. It's not quite yet what I have in mind but I'll have a look what I can do with css here. Thanks a lot for putting time and effort into this! :)

Sorry if wasn't quite what you wanted. I must have misunderstood.

You're welcome. Also, I've updated the layer to fix the issue I mentioned in my previous comment.

[jana]

Oh, no need to apologize! It's just that I'd like the filter/access group next to date and time. As it is now, at least when I add your code to my theme layer, the filter/access group is right on top of date and time. But I can probably achieve the preferred effect by adding floats to .datetime and .myClass. I'll let you know if I'm stuck again ;)

I forgot to copy the modified version of your layer code in which you fixed the issue you mentioned in the other comment, but the link you provided doesn't work anymore. Have you already deleted the layer or can I find the layer code somewhere else?

I also figured out how to archive the wanted effect with your code; I just needed to change the order in 'function Page::print_entry(Entry e) {}'

Instead of

$e->print_subject();
$mc->lay_print_metadata_groups($e);
"""

\n""";
$e->print_metatypes();
$e->print_time();

I use

$e->print_subject();
"""

\n""";
$e->print_metatypes();
$e->print_time();
$mc->lay_print_metadata_groups($e);

Thanks again!

Oh crap I've just stupidly deleted everything. Looking at the code you posted here you're working with my very first draft where the filters were after the subject, not the date. Can you link to your layer? Or a layer with the code I wrote?

Edit: or PM me with the link if you don't want it out there...

Here's the link to my theme layer, hope the link works:

Perfect, thanks.

Here's mine: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layersource?id=180499

I'm gonna try and see if the code fits in a comment so that it doesn't get lost again.

[jana]

Thanks! :) If your code doesn't fit in a comment I can edit the entry and add your code (behind a cut).

Feel free to improve it. :)
