Chameleon theme problem with post information

@johninnit - Hi! Can you confirm this is unfixed in 5.0-rc1?

I'm having this problem on 5.0 final. Does anyone know if it's likely to be fixed anytime soon? (I have no idea how to get around it, so I have to decide whether to move to another theme.)

I upgraded to Drupal 5.1 and and the "submitted by" information is still missing for Chameleon. However, it is present for all of the other core themes.

Here is the place in the chameleon.theme file where I imagine the problem is (unfortunately I don't see the problem ... yet :-)

$submitted['node_submitted'] = theme_get_setting("toggle_node_info_$node->type") ? array('#title' => t("By !author at @date", array('!author' => theme('username', $node), '@date' => format_date($node->created, 'small')))) : array();

Note that all of the taxonomy information and the "read more" link are present.

I'm having this problem as well. I'm hoping that someone can find a fix as this is a lovely theme.

me too. same symptoms. Also works in all other themes. It's a little over my head but I'll look into the pages and see what i can do.

I've narrowed down the problem a little (with Drupal 5.1). This code:

$submitted['node_submitted'] = theme_get_setting("toggle_node_info_$node->type") ? array('#title' => t("By !author at @date", array('!author' => theme('username', $node), '@date' => format_date($node->created, 'small')))) : array();

... is the problem - change the "#title" to 'title' (a slight API inconsistency, I guess?). Like this:

$submitted['node_submitted'] = theme_get_setting("toggle_node_info_$node->type") ? array('title' => t("By !author at @date", array('!author' => theme('username', $node), '@date' => format_date($node->created, 'small')))) : array();

The problem is, this will display:

Posted by <a href="/user/1" title="View user profile.">coofercat</a> at 2007-03-06 12:19 | Add new comment | 7 reads

...which isn't ideal. However, the major emergency for me is over, as my visitors don't get to view user profiles (so the link doesn't appear). It's annoying me though, so I'll keep looking at it.

The problem is, that chameleon theme is not using the new theme_links function, that changed a lot. After looking the code, I found an easy solution:

In function chameleon_node:

  $submitted['node_submitted'] = theme_get_setting("toggle_node_info_$node->type") ? array('#title' => t("By !author at @date", array('!author' => theme('username', $node), '@date' => format_date($node->created, 'small')))) : array();

Change it to this:

  $submitted['node_submitted'] = theme_get_setting("toggle_node_info_$node->type") ? array(
    'title' => t("By !author at @date", array('!author' => theme('username', $node), '@date' => format_date($node->created, 'small'))),
    'html' => TRUE) : array();

function chameleon_comment:

$submitted['comment_submitted'] = array('#title' => t('By !author at @date', array('!author' => theme('username', $comment), '@date' => format_date($comment->timestamp, 'small'))));

Change it to this:

  $submitted['comment_submitted'] = array(
    'title' => t('By !author at @date', array('!author' => theme('username', $comment), '@date' => format_date($comment->timestamp, 'small'))),
    'html' => TRUE);

Thus theme_links will know, that Author's name and date are in HTML already.

I've just tried this out, and indeed it works perfectly.

Easy when you know how ;-)

I just tried it as well! It does work perfectly. Thank you so much!

Just to try to close this off - Patch (against HEAD) attached.

Great work! tested out perfectly.

I committed a slightly modified version with correct code style to 5.

I committed this to CVS HEAD. Thanks!
