★ ERIC Atkins ★

Working continues away on this blog as I’m learning more PHP and more theming for Drupal (which will definitely get use on other websites I develop). I’m experimenting with grouping all of the posts on the front of ericatkins.com under the day in which they were published. So, All posts that are made today will appear like:

DayofWeek Month Date, Year
Title
Author, date, # of comments
content

I just put this code in my node.tpl.php files. I’ve got full control of the data and how I present it via .css. The code I used:

global $current_date;
if (format_date($node->created, 'custom', 'Ymd') != $current_date) {
print "

\n";
$current_date = format_date($node->created, 'custom', 'Ymd');
}
?>

You can edit the PHP date variable to format the date anyway you like.

I’m on my way to writing a new tumblelog system (which is how I think people ought to blog). More later.
