iPhone date icons

[luis-rabello 0]

Hi, I just migrated from iBlog2 to iBlogPro but now I'm missing the iPhone like date icons. Does anyone know how to get the iphone like date icons back instead of that header that says "On 05/12/2009, by Luis Rabello"? Thanks, Luis

The file we will be editing is `_posts.php`... do you still care about having thumbnails?

yes i'd like to keep'em if possible.

Ok. So the first thing you'll need to do is get the image from the iBlog2 theme. Then you'll have to add the 'date' code from iBlog2 to '_posts.php' here it is: `

<?php the_time('M') ?> <?php the_time('d') ?>

` Finally, add the CSS (to style.css or custom css option) for the date from iBLog2: ` .hentry .date { height: 50px; width: 45px; background: url(images/calendar.gif) no-repeat; font: normal 22px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #666666; text-align: center; padding: 0px 2px 0 0; line-height: 100%; float: left; } .hentry .date span { height: 16px; display: block; font: normal 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; text-align: center; padding-top: 7px; } ` after this; its all trial and error until you get what you want.

Any chance of a future update to iBlogPro4 adding this functionality back to the theme, via a theme options setting? Seems like it would be so much cleaner simply ticking a checkbox rather than doing the edits above and then tweaking further. Additionally, any updates applied after the edits would essentially break it again... I, too, am missing the date badges:) Mark

Mark, the date icon just doesn't work with the pro version because of the thumbnail and meta data functionality, which we feel is much better.
