Post date missing after 4.2 upgrade

[zfirst]

After upgrading my organization's blog, http://thedx.druckerinstitute.com/, to Suffusion 4.2, the dates for all of our posts are no longer displaying. Anyone have any ideas about what I might do to correct this rather strange error?

In Skinning -> Date Box, I have selected "Show" "Custom," set the Date Box to Transparent, Top left, and set the Month, Date and Year Font to color 454545 at 50% size with all styles set at Normal.

I've found a temporary fix to this issue that suggests there may be a bug somewhere in the Suffusion 4.2 code. In pullout.php, I changed:

Code: Select all

if ($show_date && $show_date != 'hide') {
   echo "<li><span class='pullout-date'><span class='icon'>&nbsp;</span>" . get_the_time(get_option('date_format')) . "</span></li>\n";
}

to

Code: Select all

echo "<li><span class='pullout-date'><span class='icon'>&nbsp;</span>" . get_the_time(get_option('date_format')) . "</span></li>\n";

by deleting the "if" statement. This caused the dates to reappear for all of my posts. Note that, prior to making this edit, no matter what display setting I selected in Skinning -> Date Box, the date would not appear.

A potentially related bug is that the <li> for the post's tags in the same pullout area has an erroneous bottom margin. The dotted line that appears underneath each pullout <li> is not spaced correctly. I have implemented a kludgey temporary fix by inserting a <br /> between </span> and </li> in the pullout.php code. This only fixes the display error for lists of tags that are one-line long. Multi-line listings of tags show the final line of tags superimposed on the dotted hairline that should be below.

This should work:

Code: Select all

if ($show_date && $show_date !== 'hide') {
   echo "<li><span class='pullout-date'><span class='icon'>&nbsp;</span>" . get_the_time(get_option('date_format')) . "</span></li>\n";
}
