WordPress MU

Hi All,
First off sorry as I am a bit of a noob when it comes to coding with wordpress.

I am currently running a free theme template with wordpress and am slowely teaching myself how it all works by editing it as I need to, but I have come to a bit of a hurdle that I haven't been able to find a solution for.

The theme I am using only uses one template for both single pages and templates. Currently author and date's appear for pages also. I would like to be able to modify this so that it only displays the 'author' and 'date' fields in the template if it is a post, and not a page.

Is there some sort of function I can use to have it check if the content is a page or post and wrap a <?php if ( around the calls for date & author??

Appreciate any help.

cheers

make a copy of the template, cal it page.php. edit that with what you want for the pages-only.

Learn to love the Template Hierarchy.

wow I totally over thought this one.
Thanks for that andrea & kgraeme!
