Edit link in a single post

[kingdomgeek]

Have you modified that file at all, sparrowhawk? The reason I ask is that the ABBR HTML tag that wraps the date is missing from your code.

If you paste the entire contents of the file here in [php] tags or at our paste bin, I'll make sure you get the correct code to edit to add in an edit link.

Rick just absolutely ROCKS!!!

Now that I've sucked up just a tad (though my statement is quite true), what would it take to put a similar function into the comments? I rarely edit a comment, but the occasional spam does slip through and it's easier to nuke it via an "edit" link in the comment as opposed to going in through the dashboard.

I'm assuming something goes somewhere in the comment_functions.php file.

I'd even hazard a guess it goes somewhere in here:

<p class="to_comments"><span class="bracket">{</span> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#comments" rel="nofollow"><?php comments_number(__('<span>0</span> comments', 'thesis'), __('<span>1</span> comment', 'thesis'), __('<span>%</span> comments', 'thesis')); ?></a> <span class="bracket">}</span></p>

But trying to figure out WHAT and exactly where in there it goes sounds like an invitation to blow up the blog....

This doesn't include any styling, but since only logged in users with the right to edit comments will see it, styling doesn't seem too important.

Anyway, in comments.php, find this:

<strong><?php comment_author_link(); ?> </strong><span class="comment_time"><?php comment_date('m.d.y'); ?> at <?php comment_time(); ?></span>

Afterwards, on the same line, add this:

<?php edit_comment_link('Edit', '<span class="edit_comment"> | ', '</span>'); ?>

The " | Edit" bit that is added to comments can be styled by referencing this in custom.css:

.custom .edit_comment { }

And thank you for the kind words, Jay.

Hi kingdomgeek,

PHP Code:

post_name) return ' ' . $post->post_name; } function thesis_byline_and_date() { if (thesis_show_byline()) { if (is_page()) { $author = thesis_get_option('show_author_on_pages'); $date = thesis_get_option('show_date_on_pages'); } else { $author = thesis_get_option('show_author'); $date = thesis_get_option('show_date'); } } if ($author || $date) { ?>

' . __('by', 'thesis') . ' ' . get_the_author() . ''; if ($author && $date) echo ' ' . __('on', 'thesis') . ' '; if ($date) echo '' . get_the_time('F j, Y') . ''; ?>
max_num_pages; $current_page = get_query_var('paged'); if ($total_pages > 1) { echo '
' . "\n"; if ($current_page <= 1) { echo '

'; if (is_search()) next_posts_link('← ' . __('Older Results', 'thesis')); else next_posts_link('← ' . __('Older Entries', 'thesis')); echo "
\n"; } elseif ($current_page < $total_pages) { echo '

'; if (is_search()) next_posts_link('← ' . __('Older Results', 'thesis')); else next_posts_link('← ' . __('Older Entries', 'thesis')); echo "
\n"; echo '

'; if (is_search()) previous_posts_link(__('Newer Results', 'thesis') . ' →'); else previous_posts_link(__('Newer Entries', 'thesis') . ' →'); echo "
\n"; } elseif ($current_page >= $total_pages) { echo '

'; if (is_search()) previous_posts_link(__('Newer Results', 'thesis') . ' →'); else previous_posts_link(__('Newer Entries', 'thesis') . ' →'); echo "
\n"; } echo "
\n\n"; } } 


I agree with phoenixreguy, you rock.

Okay, replace this bit of code:

get_the_time('F j, Y') . ''; ?>

with this one:

get_the_time('F j, Y') . ''; edit_post_link('Edit', ' | '); ?>

That should work for ya.

Oops I did the edit and received:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /homepages/13/d176864820/htdocs/blog/wp-content/themes/thesis/lib/functions/content_functions.php on line 48



I put the original back and now I will sit on my hands.

[kingdomgeek]

Maybe I should sit on my hands! I fixed the code in the above post for you; I left out "?>" in the line that you needed to copy in. Should work fine now.

In lib/functions/content_functions.php, find this bit of code:

'</span>'; if ($author && $date) echo ' <em>' . __('on', 'thesis') . '</em> '; if ($date) echo '<abbr class="published" title="' . get_the_time('Y-m-d') . '">' . get_the_time('F j, Y') . '</abbr>'; ?></p>

Swap it out for this:

<p class="author_and_date"><?php if ($author) echo '<em>' . __('by', 'thesis') . '</em> <span class="author">' . get_the_author() . '</span>'; if ($author && $date) echo ' <em>' . __('on', 'thesis') . '</em> '; if ($date) echo '<abbr class="published" title="' . get_the_time('Y-m-d') . '">' . get_the_time('F j, Y') . '</abbr>'; edit_post_link('Edit', ' | '); ?></p>

Works nice enough, I think I'll leave the change on my blog.

Rick,

Thank you, it works fine on my blog!

Works perfectly, thanks for all the help you give!

Prior to updating today to Thesis 1.1, I used the code below from kingdomgeek and it worked perfectly.

'</abbr>'; edit_post_link('Edit', ' | '); ?></p>

Then I updated to 1.1 and put the same code in lib/functions/content_functions.php. That's when I got a bunch of errors beginning with "Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ..." So I put in a clean copy of the content_functions.php file and it works fine now (no errors) but without the ability to edit posts.

I'm wondering if there is a new code that I have to use to get the edit posts functionality back. Thanks!
