I'm trying to modify a function in the Twenty Ten 1.3 theme. Below is the function (from lines 489 and following of /themes/twentyten/functions.php).
What I'm trying to do is change esc_attr( get_the_time() ) so it returns the day of week (e.g. Wednesday).
I can substitute get_the_date() for get_the_time() but how, in this context, do I apply the necessary filter to get the day of week? Everything I've tried just broke the function. Is it a matter of syntax or do I have to rework the function?
function twentyten_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
get_permalink(),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
get_the_date()
),
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ) ),
get_the_author()
)
);
}
