Have I been clear enough? Should I describe a little bit further what I want to accomplish? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/decomposing-author_title-template-tag#post-12476 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 19:53:54 +0000 rosebud 12476@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am trying to get the User Role on the posts page (that links to the profile) next to the poster name to display, on hover, a span containing this text: "View profile of *user*". I want to make it clear that clicking on the user title (role) will send the visitor to the user's profile.</p> <p>To accomplish this in a very simple way I need to add a span inside the a tag, like this:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;a&gt;User Title&lt;span&gt;View profile of &lt;?php post_author(); ?&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</code></pre> <p>And then apply simple css rules:<br /> <pre><code>a span {display: none;} a:hover span {display: block;}</code></pre> <p>Thus, I need to decompose the template tag "post_author_title" given that this tag already outputs the whole link, so I can't add the span inside it.</p> <p>What I have to do is find a template tag that outputs the User Title in just plain text, and I then recreate the link. I found "get_post_author_title" but I don't know what it does. When I put it instead of "post_author_title" nothing renders (no text, nor link, nor error).</p> <p>I also tried doing this just by css with this markup:<br /> <code>&lt;a&gt;User Title&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</code></p> <p>And playing with the selectors + and &gt;:<br /> <pre><code>a + span {display: none;} ---&gt; This actually works a:hover + span {display: block;} ----&gt; This does not...</code></pre> <p>I hope I have been clear with what I want to do. Probably this is a trivial matter and someone could just set me on the right direction.</p> <p>Thanks very much for your continuous support. </p>
