WordPress:Post Meta Data Section

The post meta data is the "administrative" information you provide to viewers about

each post. This information usually includes the author of the

post, when it was written (or posted), and how the author

categorized that particular post. This lesson will show you

some different ways to change your Theme design to display these important pieces of

information in the manner you desire.

文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)是提供給訪問者的每個文章的"管理的"信息。這個

信息通常包括作者、寫(或是發(fā)布)的時間和作者如何分類這篇文章。

這一課將告訴你一些改變主題設(shè)計，使用你想要的方法來顯示這些重要信息的方法。

In many cases, the post meta data is positioned immediately following the post itself,

though some Themes are designed to place this information at the top of the post, other

designs feature the post meta data in the top or bottom of the sidebar, and some designs

even place the information in the footer. Essentially, post meta data can be styled in

many different ways and with a variety of details.

在很多情況下，文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)會在文章自身形成后立即形成，一些主題設(shè)計成把這些信息放在文章

頂部，別的一些主題可能會放在頂部或者底部的邊欄中，還有一寫主題甚至設(shè)計成放在頁腳。如果需要的話文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)可以設(shè)計成不同的方式，帶有不同的多種細節(jié)內(nèi)容。

Default Usage

The default WordPress Theme places the post meta data basic

information and tags below the post in a box, before the comments. A condensed version of

the code looks like this:

<small>This entry was posted on 
<?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?> at 
<?php the_time() ?> and is filed 
under <?php the_category(', ') ?>. You 
can follow any responses to this entry 
through the <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?> 
feed.</small>

默認用法

默認的WordPress 主題把文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)這基本信息和標簽定位在文章下部分，在評論之前的一個信息框中。簡化的代碼如下：

<small>This entry was posted on 
<?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?> at 
<?php the_time() ?> and is filed 
under <?php the_category(', ') ?>. You 
can follow any responses to this entry 
through the <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?> 
feed.</small>

The output result looks like this:

This

entry was posted on Monday, February 12, 2003 at 11:32 and is filed under

[[WordPress:#Default Usage|WordPress Lessons]], [[WordPress:#Default Usage|Things to Know]].

You can follow any responses to this entry though the [[WordPress:#Default Usage|RSS 2.0]]

feed.

這輸出結(jié)果如下：

This

entry was posted on Monday, February 12, 2003 at 11:32 and is filed under

[[WordPress:#Default Usage|WordPress Lessons]], [[WordPress:#Default Usage|Things to Know]].

You can follow any responses to this entry though the [[WordPress:#Default Usage|RSS 2.0]]

feed.

There are three template tags used in the post meta data.

One, the_time(), is used twice with different

results. The other two tags get the information about the categories and the link to the

RSS feed from the database.

在文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)中有3種模板標簽可以使用，第一，

the_time()，使用兩次帶有不同的結(jié)果，另外兩種標簽是

得到關(guān)于分類的信息和從數(shù)據(jù)庫到RSS feed的連接。

The template tag for the_time() can be set up with a variety of parameters to tell

the time and date of the post from information drawn from the database. In the first usage,

the parameters l, F jS, Y pull the post's date into a format that gives the

weekday, month, date, and year. In the second usage, there are no parameters,

therefore it just returns the time when the post was saved. You will experiment with these

below in [[WordPress:#Changing the Time and Date|Changing the Time and Date]].

the_time()的模板標簽有很多顯示數(shù)據(jù)庫中的文章時間和日期的參數(shù)可以設(shè)置。第一種用法，

l, F jS, Y參數(shù)，把文章的日期設(shè)置成一個周日, 月, 日, and 年的格式，第二種用

法，沒有任何參數(shù)，這樣它只是返回文章是什么時候保存的值。你在下面的[[WordPress:#Changing the

Time and Date|更改時間和日期]]中就會體會到。

The template tag the_category() displays

the categories that the post belongs to. This template tag

can be modified to feature different text, graphics and symbols between the graphics, and

may even use a plugin to display graphics in place of the words. There are many ways to

style these. In this example, the categories are listed with

a comma to separate them.

模板標簽the_category()顯示文章所屬的

分類。這個模板標簽可以更改來適應(yīng)不同的文本、圖片、圖片之間的

符號，還可以使用插件來代替文字顯示圖片。有很多種設(shè)計方法。在這個例子中列出的

分類使用逗號分開它們。

The last tag is the comments_rss_link()

which uses the parameter RSS 2.0 to identify the type of

feed being used. You can also [[WordPress:Customizing

Feeds|customize the feed tag]], changing the way it displays the link information about the

feed and type, or even have it feature feed icons instead of text.

最后一個標簽是comments_rss_link()，使

用參數(shù)RSS 2.0來識別使用的feed類型。你也可以

自定義feed標簽，更改它的顯示有關(guān)feed和模型的連接信息的方式，

或者使用feed圖標來代替文本。

Changing the Text

Let's start to rearrange your post meta data with small steps. The first step is to

change the text but not the tags. After all, this is your website and you want it to say

things your way, right? This example makes the post meta data a little more

conversational:

<small>I slaved away at the computer on <?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?> 
at the ridiculous time of <?php the_time() ?> when I could have 
been doing something much more productive.  I slapped this 
thing into the <?php the_category(' and ') ?> categories, just 
to make you think I have some organizational skills.  If you 
can really be bothered, you can keep track of what people 
have to say about my silly writings through the 
<?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?> feed, but I 
wouldn't bother.  No one else who reads this babble has 
anything worthwhile to say.</small>

更改文本

讓我們開始重新排版你的文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)。第一步是更改文本而不是標簽。畢竟，這是你的網(wǎng)站，你

希望它使用你的方式來排列，對吧？這個例子讓文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)更加會話式：

<small>I slaved away at the computer on <?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?> 
at the ridiculous time of <?php the_time() ?> when I could have 
been doing something much more productive.  I slapped this 
thing into the <?php the_category(' and ') ?> categories, just 
to make you think I have some organizational skills.  If you 
can really be bothered, you can keep track of what people 
have to say about my silly writings through the 
<?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?> feed, but I 
wouldn't bother.  No one else who reads this babble has 
anything worthwhile to say.</small>

This would result in:

I slaved away at the

computer on Monday, February 12, 2003 at the ridiculous time of 11:32. when I could have

been doing something much more productive. I slapped this thing into the

[[WordPress:#Changing the Text|WordPress Lessons]] and [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|Things

to Know]]. categories, just to make you think I have some organizational skills. If you can

really be bothered, you can keep track of what people have to say about my silly writings

through the [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|RSS 2.0]] feed, but I wouldn't bother. No one

else who reads this babble has anything worthwhile to say.

顯示結(jié)果如下：

I slaved away at the

computer on Monday, February 12, 2003 at the ridiculous time of 11:32. when I could have

been doing something much more productive. I slapped this thing into the

[[WordPress:#Changing the Text|WordPress Lessons]] and [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|Things

to Know]]. categories, just to make you think I have some organizational skills. If you can

really be bothered, you can keep track of what people have to say about my silly writings

through the [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|RSS 2.0]] feed, but I wouldn't bother. No one

else who reads this babble has anything worthwhile to say.

Okay, there is a small change. Did you catch it?

The usage of the_category() template tag, the parameter that sets the

separator between the list of categories where the post

belongs, was changed from a comma (,) to the word "and". It makes more sense in

this situation.

好了，有一點小的變化，你發(fā)現(xiàn)了嗎？

the_category()模板標簽的使用，設(shè)置分類列表分離器的參數(shù)，文章所在的地方，從一個逗號 (,)更改為單詞"and"，這樣它更加有意義了。

Now, you can also cut the chatter and make your post meta data short and sweet:

POSTED: <?php the_time('m/j/y g:i A') ?><br />
FILED AS: <?php the_category(', ') ?><br />
COMMENTS FEED: <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?>

現(xiàn)在可以中斷一下，讓你的文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)更短，更有味道：

POSTED: <?php the_time('m/j/y g:i A') ?><br />
FILED AS: <?php the_category(', ') ?><br />
COMMENTS FEED: <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?>

Here is a very short list of your post meta data:

POSTED:

05/12/04 9:35 AM FILED AS: [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|News]], [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|Answers]]

COMMENTS FEED: [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|RSS 2.0]]

這是你的文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)中很短的一個列表：

POSTED:

05/12/04 9:35 AM FILED AS: [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|News]], [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|Answers]]

COMMENTS FEED: [[WordPress:#Changing the Text|RSS 2.0]]

Changing the Time and Date

There are many ways to change the time and date within your post meta data to reflect a

more appropriate use for your website or your cultural timekeeping methods. For example, in

much of the world, the date is not month day, year but day month year. In the

post meta data, you would change the template tag [[WordPress:Template

Tags/the_time|the_time()]] so the paramters would show "Monday, 21 February 2005":

<?php the_time('1, jS F Y') ?>

更改日期和時間

文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)中有很多種方法更改時間和日期，來反映出對你的網(wǎng)站或者是你時間文化更合適的用

法，舉個例子，世界上很多地方不是月日, 年而是日月, 年。在文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)中，你可

以改變the_time()模板標簽，這樣參數(shù)就會顯

示"Monday, 21 February 2005"了：

<?php the_time('1, jS F Y') ?>

To add more interesting information to your post meta data there are several

plugins available which generate the date the post was last

modified. Two such plugins are [http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/22/post-updated/ Kaf

Oseo's Post Updated] and [http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/last-modified/trunk/ Nick

Momrik's Last Modified]. In the following example, using various ways of

manipulating time with PHP tags, we'll add Nick

Momrik's plugin to the mix, mdv_last_modified():

<div class="postmetadata">This post was written on what I 
think was a <?php the_time('l'); ?>, but I know it was 
the <?php the_time('jS'); ?> day in the month 
of <?php the_time('F'); ?> in the year of 
<?php the_time('Y'); ?>, though I messed around 
with this on the <?php mdv_last_modified('dS'); ?> day 
of <?php mdv_last_modified('F'); ?> in 
<?php mdv_last_modified('Y'); ?>, a not-so-busy 
<?php mdv_last_modified('l'); ?> when I had nothing 
better to do.</p></div>

想加入更多有趣的信息到文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)中，有幾種插件可以使用，它們可以得到文章最后更改的時

間。兩種這樣的插件是[http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/22/post-updated/ Kaf Oseo's Post

Updated] 和[http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/last-modified/trunk/ Nick Momrik's Last

Modified]，在下邊的例子中，使用manipulating time帶有

PHP標簽的不同方法，我們會把Nick Momrik的插件加入混合，mdv_last_modified()：

<div class="postmetadata">This post was written on what I 
think was a <?php the_time('l'); ?>, but I know it was 
the <?php the_time('jS'); ?> day in the month 
of <?php the_time('F'); ?> in the year of 
<?php the_time('Y'); ?>, though I messed around 
with this on the <?php mdv_last_modified('dS'); ?> day 
of <?php mdv_last_modified('F'); ?> in 
<?php mdv_last_modified('Y'); ?>, a not-so-busy 
<?php mdv_last_modified('l'); ?> when I had nothing 
better to do.</p></div>

Which would result in:

This post was written on

what I think was a Tuesday, but I know it was the 15th day in the month of February in the

year of 2004, though I messed around with this on the 10th day of August in 2004, a not-so-

busy Thursday when I had nothing better to do.

顯示結(jié)果如下：

busy Thursday when I had nothing better to do.

Adding Template Tags

So far, you've covered only three of the many template tags you can add to your post meta

data. You can add the the_title() to get

the title of the post. If you want the author's name, you can add [[WordPress:Template

Tags/the_author|the_author()]] and even the author's email with

the_author_email(). Want a link to all the

posts written by a specific author? That can be arranged with the [[WordPress:Template

Tags/the_author_posts_link|the_author_posts_link()]].

添加模板標簽

到目前為止，你涉及了可以加入文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)的僅僅三種標簽。你可以添加

the_title()來得到文章的標題。如果你想要作者的名字

，你可以添加the_author()，還可以添加

the_author_email()以得到作者的電子郵件。想

要某個作者的所有文章的連接？可以使用[[WordPress:Template

ags/the_author_posts_link|the_author_posts_link()]]來安排妥當。

What if you want to include more basic information like the title of the website using

bloginfo(), or

navigation help like the [[WordPress:Template

Tags/previous_post|previous_post()]] and [[WordPress:Template

Tags/next_post|next_post()]]? We're using the next and previous post template tags to

list posts within the same category, available to users of WordPress 1.5.1.3+. These are

just a few examples of the many possible uses of template tags in your post meta data

如果你想包括更基本的信息比如網(wǎng)站使用的標題，使用[[WordPress:Template

Tags/bloginfo|bloginfo()]]或者導(dǎo)航幫助如

previous_post()和[[WordPress:Template

Tags/next_post|next_post()]]？我們使用WordPress 1.5.1.3+的使用者可用的，上一個和下一個

文章模板標簽來列出同一列表中的文章。這些只是文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)中很多可能的模板標簽用法的幾個

例子。

In the most simplest of usages, the post meta data could be listed as:

POST TITLE: <?php the_title(); ?><br />
AUTHOR: <?php the_author(); ?><br />
POSTED: <?php the_time('jS F Y') ?><br />
FILED AS: <?php the_category(', ') ?><br />
COMMENT FEED: <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?><br />
PREVIOUS: <?php previous_post('%', '', 'yes', 'yes'); ?><br />
NEXT: <?php next_post('%', '', 'yes', 'yes'); ?>

在最簡單的用法中，文章 meta數(shù)據(jù)可以如下列出

POST TITLE: <?php the_title(); ?><br />
AUTHOR: <?php the_author(); ?><br />
POSTED: <?php the_time('jS F Y') ?><br />
FILED AS: <?php the_category(', ') ?><br />
COMMENT FEED: <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?><br />
PREVIOUS: <?php previous_post('%', '', 'yes', 'yes'); ?><br />
NEXT: <?php next_post('%', '', 'yes', 'yes'); ?>

And would look like this:

POST TITLE:

[[WordPress:#Adding Template Tags|WordPress Makes Me Smile]]

If you want this in your sidebar, and you want a more conversational style, then in your

template file, sidebar.php, find a good spot to put the

following:

<div class="postmetadata"><p>You are reading the article, 
<?php the_title(); ?>, on our website, <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>.  
This article was written on <?php the_time('jS F Y') ?>, in 
Seattle, Washington, and you can find similar articles in 
the <?php the_category(' and ') ?> categories, or more articles 
by <?php |the_author_posts_link() ?>, if you enjoyed this article.  
If you have any comments about this article, you can contact 
<?php the_author() ?> by <a href="mailto:<?php the_author_email(); ?>">
email</a>, or leave a comment below.  You can also follow comments 
made on this article via our <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?> 
feed.</p>
<p>If you would like to continue reading more, 
<?php previous_post('the previous article on our site is called %', ' ', 'yes', 'yes'); ?>
<?php next_post(' and the next article is called %', ' ', 'yes', 'yes'); ?>.
  Thank you for visiting our site.</p></div>

如果你想讓這些內(nèi)容顯示在邊欄中，而且你想要一個會話式的樣式，那么在你的模板文件中，sidebar.php，找一個地方輸入以下內(nèi)容：

<div class="postmetadata"><p>You are reading the article, 
<?php the_title(); ?>, on our website, <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>.  
This article was written on <?php the_time('jS F Y') ?>, in 
Seattle, Washington, and you can find similar articles in 
the <?php the_category(' and ') ?> categories, or more articles 
by <?php |the_author_posts_link() ?>, if you enjoyed this article.  
If you have any comments about this article, you can contact 
<?php the_author() ?> by <a href="mailto:<?php the_author_email(); ?>">
email</a>, or leave a comment below.  You can also follow comments 
made on this article via our <?php comments_rss_link('RSS 2.0'); ?> 
feed.</p>
<p>If you would like to continue reading more, 
<?php previous_post('the previous article on our site is called %', ' ', 'yes', 'yes'); ?>
<?php next_post(' and the next article is called %', ' ', 'yes', 'yes'); ?>.
  Thank you for visiting our site.</p></div>

This example, if styled in a narrow column found on most sidebars, would look like this:

You are reading the article, [[WordPress:#Adding Template Tags|WordPress Makes Me

Smile]], on our website, [[WordPress:#Adding Template Tags|Talking Blog]]. This article was

written on May 15, 2004, in Seattle, Washington, and you can find similar articles in the
