Subtitles for blog posts

Tupamaros

Hi!

My blog is bilingual, but I can only (or just want to) write a headline in one language.
Is there a chance to add subtitles to a blog article like on pages?

(see attached file)

Thanks!

Hello

Yes it is possible:
1. go to advance/meta.php line ~27 change:

            array(
                'name' => '',
                'type' => 'fieldset',
            ),

to

            array(
                'name' => '',
                'type' => 'fieldset',
            ),
            array(
                'name' => __be( 'Subtitle' ),
                'desc' => '',
                'id' => 'subtitle',
                'default' => '',
                'type' => 'input'
            ),

2. Go to content.php line~11 change:

a13_top_image_video( true, $media_width );

to(updated part)

$s = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_subtitle', true);
if(strlen($s)) echo'<h3 class="subtitle">'.$s.'</h3>';

a13_top_image_video( true, $media_width );

Done:-)

With regards.

Awesome! Thank you!

Is it also possible to display the subtitles…

a) …in another color (it’s more obvious when it’s grey e.g. like on the pages)?
b) …also when the post is opened?

(see attached file)

Thanks!

You have to know we don't do such modifications here. I just gave you this one cause it was harder part but fast to do. You will have to work it out by yourself or hire someone.

With regards.

Tupamaros

Okay. Thanks.

Air

Okay, I will give you code:-)
I have changed previous code (added class to subtitle) so update your also.

Add such custom CSS to change styling of subtitle

h3.subtitle {
    color: #B2B2B2;
    font-weight: normal;
}

Next lets edit single post. Go to advance/utilities.php line ~980 and change:

        if(is_single()){
            a13_post_nav();
        }

to

        if(is_single()){
            a13_post_nav();
            $s = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_subtitle', true);
            if(strlen($s)) echo'<h3 class="subtitle">'.$s.'</h3>';
        }

This should do it:-)

With regards.

Tupamaros

You rock!
Displaying the subs in single posts works perferctly!
The code for the custom CSS unfortunately has no effect. I also tried the code without any further code I added. We talk about the custom CSS box in "Appearance", right?

I just sent you a coffee.

Air

Thanks for Coffee ;-)

Yes, you should insert it there. I have been on your site now and I don't see any changes - have you done it already ? Maybe some cache plugin?

with regards.

Tupamaros

…I just answered the other thread (background color of blog). I forgot to send it.

Back to this topic:

This code doesn’t seem to have any affect:

h3.subtitle {
color: #B2B2B2;
font-weight: normal;
}


The single post subtitles work, but I didn’t have the time yet to add them everywhere.

Cache is empty.

Air

I checked and it works on single post http://blog.tupamaros-film.de/gewinnt-freikarten-fuers-lost-cabaret/
I also see that you changed css to match h2 so no wonder it doesn't work on blog, cause there you use h3. Also you didn't add class subtitle to blog subtitles like I said before. Check http://support.apollo13.eu/vanilla/post/editcomment/8632

Track your changes and you will be fine :-)

Read whole topic carefully again and you will get your results :-)

With regards.

Tupamaros

Oh, yes. I read over the "updated" part of your previous post.
Rock and roll: Now it works!
Awesome!
Thank you!

Hi!
These settings always get lost when I update the theme and have to be redone manually.

Are thoses files (content.php, meta.php and utilities.php) affected by updates anway? Or can I just keep edited copies and overwrite after every update?

Or is there a chance to comfortably keep these settings despite updating the theme?
Thanks!

It depends what we are fixing/changing/adding.
