Conditional to remove date meta from tags page

If you want it only in posts… leave it there in post related templates and remove it from ALL the Pages related templates.
Why would you need any conditional tags for that?

In the tags.php. We have titles of posts with dates, and titles of pages without it.

How does one differentiate a post from a page entry with a conditional?

Conditional_Tags

is_page?

I don’t quite understand the question either… tag.php is not a static Page, it’s the Tag template. So is_page() will return false there anyway.

The tag is_page doesn’t seem to work in a loop when displaying a list of posts. I had hoped that was my answer.

On my tag.php page, I have summaries of many posts that relate with the tag. Some are posts, some are pages. I want dates to show on the post summaries, but not on the page summaries. I have to create a conditional that says “if this summary is from a post, show the date… if from a page, don’t show the date”.

How do you add tags to Pages? I don’t see anything like that in Write Pages subpanel?

Ahhh… I’m using a plugin called “Simple Tags”. Perhaps this is what is creating this issue.

I like having tags on my pages. But they definitely need to be displayed differently in their summaries.

How would you write the logic loop for this, short of doing an array of every individual page. <ugh>

Ok then, I solved it with a custom field. Very powerful tool!
‘ $view = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘show_date’, $single = true);
if ($view === no ) { }
else { ?>
<div class=”postdate”>
<div class=”postday”><?php the_time(‘j’) ?></div> <!– POST DAY –>
<div class=”postmonth”><?php the_time(‘M’) ?></div> <!– POST MONTH –>
</div> <!– POST DATE –>
<?php } ?>’

This will work without having to mess with the code more than once. Thanks for your assistance.

I have summaries of many posts that relate with the tag. Some are posts, some are pages.

I don’t know how you’re getting those summaries, but if it’s in a normal Loop, try looking at the contents of $post->post_type.
