WordPress V3.1.2

I was using the Calendar Icon from here when I was running ATA 3.6.4

I have upgraded to 3.6.7 and this has stopped working now that PHP is banned from within the theme options. OK I thought, but %date% is given as a post info item so I updated the bits in the kickers to the following

<div class="date">
    <div class="date-inside">
        <div class="date-month">%date('M')%</div>
        <div class="date-day">%date('j')%</div>
        <div class="date-year">%date('Y')%</div>
    </div>
</div>

But, this is only returning the %date('M')% for all the parts - see here

Looking at the source I can see this

<div class="post-kicker">
    <div class="date">
        <div class="date-inside">
            <div class="date-month">May</div>
            <div class="date-day">May</div>
            <div class="date-year">May</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Have I missed something blatantly obvious? Can I only use one %date% per section?

I think I know what is happening, the code is replacing all occurrences of '%date...%' with the value in the first '%date...%'.

I think this can be fixed but it may take a couple days since I have some paying work to do.

Thanks Juggledad - for what it's worth I think you are right.

I think I found the right bit in bfa_popstinfo.php

starts at Ln183 in V3.5.7

	// Date & Time
	if ( strpos($postinfo_string,'%date(') !== FALSE ) {
		while ( strpos($postinfo,'%date(') !== FALSE ) {
			$date_param = preg_match("/(.*)\%date\('(.*?)'\)(.*)/i",$postinfo,$date_matches);
			ob_start(); 
				the_time($date_matches[2]); 
				$date = ob_get_contents(); 
			ob_end_clean();
			$postinfo = preg_replace("/(.*)%date\((.*?)\)%(.*)/i", "\${1}" .
	        $date. "\${3}", $postinfo);
		}
	}

I think I know what needs to be done in my head, but can't put it down on paper. I think it needs to scan through the contents of the box and replace the first occurrence of %date...% and then repeat the whole process again but starting where the first replace finished...

Try this, change

<div class="date">
    <div class="date-inside">
        <div class="date-month">%date('M')%</div>
        <div class="date-day">%date('j')%</div>
        <div class="date-year">%date('Y')%</div>
    </div>
</div>

to be all one line like this

<div class="date"><div class="date-inside"><div class="date-month">%date('M')%</div><div class="date-day">%date('j')%</div><div class="date-year">%date('Y')%</div></div></div>

Looks like you have to have it all on one line, the preg-match likes it that way. I'm sure there is a way around it, but the preg functions make my head hurt (grin)

Yay! works like a charm - the preg function do seem a little confusing! I guess the <return> character in the string throws them...
