Only show date on certain categories

We use Newsmag to run a magazine but only need post dates to be shown in the news category. Is there a simpel way to filter this? Custom CSS?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Alin,
I am not using custom css. I just turn date on/off under Post Settings -> Show date. I would like to turn date on only on posts in the news category. Is that possible? Here is link to page http://naturguide.dk/
Thanks,

Thanks a lot! It works when turning off date from Post Settings -> Show date!
Great support 🙂

Hi Alin,
Since the latest update the above code does not work any more. Can you assist me how to change the td_module.php to only show date on posts in a certain category? In my case the news category.
Thanks,

Hi

The function’s code has been changed a bit, that’s why the previous changes don’t work now. Please make a backup of your current td_module.php file and then replace date function – http://screencast.com/t/ziIvhEnJfZK0 with this code: http://pastebin.com/S6FtcDhK – http://screencast.com/t/mHLH9r8Md

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi Andrei,
Thank you for your quick reply. I have now made the changes and uploaded the modified td_module.php. It seems not to do the trick. Could you please have a look again?
Thanks,

Hi

Sorry about that, I provided a solution for a different approach.
I assume that the News category from your site have this name: http://screencast.com/t/HOC5l6BB If does try this code http://pastebin.com/rkT4N3Vd in td_module.php otherwise follow this link to adjust the changes: http://screencast.com/t/yxtMWtKfG6Y This code should display the date only for post from News category.

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Thanks Andrei,
It works fine! Thanks a lot 🙂

Hi TagDiv guys,
Since the latest update (3.1) the above code does not work any more. Can you assist me how to change the td_module.php to only show date on posts in a certain category? In my case the news category.
Thanks,

Hi

Try this code, it should work properly: http://pastebin.com/7WiJ8wmu
Let me know ho it goes.
Thanks!

Hi Andrei,
It does not seems to help! Instead comments count are now visible – even though disabled in Theme Panel???

Hi Andrei,
I managed to turn of comments count (Meta info on Modules). However I still have not figured out how I can show post dates in the news category only.

HI

The code is tested and works fine, please check those screens where I’ve made a test for tech category: http://screencast.com/t/CYw2bpFi – http://screencast.com/t/6wVmiuJBcL2h Make sure you add the proper slug for yopur category or you can also add category id as parameter from in_category() function: http://screencast.com/t/Poej5Glv

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi Andrei,
The code does not work on single posts – only on modules/thumbnails. How do I, in single posts, only show dates in the news (nyheder) category?
Thanks,

HI

To work on single posts you need to edit td_module_single_base.php and add the same condition here: http://screencast.com/t/k1s2AplZNEAR

Thanks!

That was the trick! Thank you.

Hi TagDiv guys,
I used to edit the td_module_single_base.php to only show dates on posts in a certain category? In my case the news category. It does not seems to work in the latest version.
Can you please advice me how to fix this?
Thanks,
