Mar. 21st, 2009 @ 08:37 pm Subheader fix for Mac users

Current Mood:

happy

As a Mac user I've had problems with the subheader bar in Unearthed going a little too far off of the page for both Firefox and Safari, and recently I was able to fix this by adding this code into the Custom CSS section of my journal, so it should work for other mac users too.

/* Cleaned CSS: */
.HeaderNavSubMenu {
padding-left: 0px;
}

Current Mood:

confused

OMG this is driving me crazy! I'm basically making the code for my header up as I go along...

Over a year ago, I fumbled together some code that made my header sit on top of my title bar, like a good header should. About a week ago, without me changing anything, it randomly started sitting under my title. Any idea why? I'm totally stuck.

My code is this:-

layerinfo "type" = "theme";
layerinfo "banner" = "";

function Page::print_custom_head() {
"""
<*style type="text/css">
*body{margin-top: 240px;
*background-color: #fa0303;
*background-image: url(http://img203.echo.cx/img203/6356/wip74ln.png);
*background-repeat: no-repeat;
*background-attachment: scroll;
*background-position: 0% 0px;

*margin-bottom: 0px
}
*</style>

""";

Without the *'s obviously. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Jan. 20th, 2006 @ 11:12 pm Help with Tags

Hi, I just got a paid account for a community that currently uses the Unearthed layout. I really like this layout and don't want to have to resort to the all-wonderful Component layout, so please me help if you're able:

--Is it possible to customize Unearthed so that a list/menu of Tags shows up on the Recent Entries page?

I've tagged the community and yet there's nowhere on the front page to actually click on to see all the tags listed.

Thank you for your time!

Dec. 16th, 2005 @ 12:04 pm Colour Question

Heyas! I've done some light customization to the "Acrid Slide"colour scheme (I call it "Green Overload"), but I would like to know if there's a way to change the colours of the links away from the default blue/red/purple scheme. There doesn't seem to be any place to do that in the customization area.

Any thoughts? Thanx!

Dec. 8th, 2005 @ 01:31 pm A few questions...

Recently bought a paid account, and *really* liking the Unearthed layout.

I've got a few questions about customising the layout further.

1. Is it possible to get the currently-chosen user pic shown on the "Reply to Post" page (i.e. when posting a comment). It's currently giving a drop-down box of the images available, but doesn't actually show the image - would make it easier to know that you've selected the right one if you could *see* it (plus, it's prettier).

2. Is it possible to apply the style to other pages:
- Recent Comments
- Recent Email Posts
- Memorable Entries
- Update Journal page
- All Pics page
- maybe also User Info?

3. Is it possible to embed the LJ Scrapbook/Gallery in the style - it's frustrating to open the gallery, and lose the navigation bar, etc.

I suspect the answer to #3 is "no", but maybe some of the pages for #2 can be styled? #1 Should not be hard - the image keywords are already there, I'd hope it's just a matter of linking an image using the keyword currently selected...

Nov. 12th, 2005 @ 01:47 am Automatic graphical drop caps

Current Mood:

coaybtete-leranous

I just had to show off... here's a simple little Unearthed mod I worked up. I've got it so my journal automatically displays classy drop caps at the beginning of each entry.

Why don't you click this link and have a look at them in action before I show you how to do it. That link brings you to my friends page so you can see that the caps really are being generated automatically, not faked with <img> tags in the entry text. Neat, huh?

(OK, I lied: the drop caps are only added to entries that start with a letter. Entries that start with an html tag are skipped because it was too much of a pain to get working tonight.)

Anyway, to do this, you must have a folder posted on the web at, say, <http://www.yourdomain.com/dropcaps/>. Within this folder you have 26 jpegs: a.jpg, b.jpg ... y.jpg, z.jpg.

In your page::print_entry function, add this to the variable declarations at top:
var string entrytext = "";
var string firstletter = "";
var string alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var string dropcaps_root = "http://www.yourdomain.com/dropcaps/"; # include trailing slash

then, in the function's code, replace this:
$contents = $contents + ($this->lay_show_entry_text() ? $e.text : "");
with this:
$entrytext = $e.text;
$firstletter = $entrytext->substr(0,1);
if ($alphabet->contains($firstletter)) {
$entrytext = "<img src=\"$dropcaps_root"+ $firstletter->lower() +".jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=2>" + $entrytext->substr(1,$entrytext->length());}
$contents = $contents + ($this->lay_show_entry_text() ? $entrytext : "");

You probably want to copy & paste it right out of this post - there's lots of little escaped quotation marks you have to get right.

Viola! Instant class!

Warning: Please not link directly to my drop cap images. Please use your own server space. Please do not make me replace them with something nasty. Thanks!

Edited 11/14:

kunzite1 has posted the Drop Cap jpgs in a downloadable zip file. More freeware drop caps available here. Also added Kunzite1's idea of using a variable $dropcaps_root.

Oct. 14th, 2005 @ 12:58 am Geourl?

Hello :-)

I have followed

crschmidt's directions at his entry in

lj_nifty here:
http://www.livejournal.com/community/lj_nifty/99688.html

However, I can not seem to get the code to show up in my header so that geourl can recognize it.

Has anyone been able to add geourl to an s2 customization and get it to work?

Thanks in advance :-)

I just joined this site. Sorry if this is a repeat question. Is there a way to get a list of all my tags on the side of my main page? If so, what is the code? Thank you very very much.

Current Music: Muse - Space Dementia

I recently changed to Unearthed and spent far too many hours trying to get my head round S2. I know a spattering of HTML and used to make my own basic S1 styles. When S2 was introduced I was overwhelmed by the new language and went with a "readymade" style. Now I think I'm starting to grasp the basics but at this point all I want to do is be able to edit an entry without having to view it first. The only links in the box are the comment links - there's no "edit entry", "edit tags" or "add to memories". Also, it'd be great if I could have pictures instead of text - eg. the little pencil (

) instead of "Edit Entry". I scrolled back a few pages in this community and thought I'd found what I was looking for but it doesn't seem to be working. Any help would be appreciated! :)

I've got a feeling I've seen this question posted in here before, so I apologise for repeating it, but I searched and really couldn't find the entry, so...

I'm using Unearthed on my journal and have successfully changed the font size in the actual entries, using:

function appended_to_stylesheet() {
println
"""
.Box {
font-size: 13px !important;
font-family: arial, verdana !important;
}
""";
}

However, I can't figure out how to change the font size in the comments so it's the same as in the entries themselves. I'm possibly just missing something incredibly obvious, but... yeah, I'm stuck. Is there a way to change it?

[Edit: Yep, I was missing something incredibly obvious - changed ".Box" to ".Box, td, tr, table" and that seems to have fixed it.]

May. 16th, 2005 @ 03:36 pm Question

Okay, I'm trying to add an invisible counter to my LiveJournal as a whole so I can see how often people are accessing my LJ. I got it into the code on the User Info page, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work with the layers of Unearthed that I use for my theme.

I have a few customizations that I set up, and that was pretty easy, but this is a javascript that I need to insert into one of the layers.

HELLLLLPPPP!!!

Oh, and I'm a S2 virgin. I know almost nothing about it. The little I do know is what I was able to pick out of the tutorial. So effectively I know nothing.

May. 15th, 2005 @ 11:00 am Changing Font Size

I'm using Unearthed as an embedded journal. I'm having problems with the font looking too small in IE and too big in Firefox. Is there a way to overide the font so i can set a specific height? if so, how? (i have a paid account).

Apr. 22nd, 2005 @ 10:06 pm title banner?

I'm thinking about using Unearthed for a community I run, and was just wondering.. is it possible to use a title image/banner instead of the text title? or would I need to use the title banner as a background behind the title, in which case is it possible to remove the title and subtitle?

Hi, this may seem dumb, but how can I get my userpic to show up? I have three uploaded and I wish to pick one for an entry, depending on what kind of entry it is, so I don't have any of the pics defaulted. Where should I go to pick the pic?

Thanks!

Hi *waves*

I'm so very glad to have found this place! Thank you so much to whomever created it.

Ok, in this journal when you press comments or permanent link, you still see the same layout as the recent entries page, right? So basically the only thing that changes is the content. Well in my free journal those links will bring you to the plain old, blah, white and blue, main journal pages. I did not choose "old comments page" as an option and I still don't have my style for comments. I did choose "friends comments page" though, b/c I want to see their style when linking from my friends page.

I would be so very grateful to whomever could point me in the right direction to fix this problem. Also on the comments pages of my friends? I've noticed that they can hide their comments replies. Their user name and the subject will show up as a link, and it saves a lot of room. Is there any way that this style journal can do that too?

Well thank you for indulging my silly questions, I really appreciate it. The most important one to me anyway, is just getting my journal style for all pages.

Thanks again :D

kunzite1 :)

Can you alter the timezone fix for my journal that you created a while back? It seems LJ has moved my journal to the Soybean cluster (which is 16 hours ahead of my timezone - the same as your's), and now when comments are posted to my journal, it now shows them +8 hours even though we have it programmed to do -08. I've attempted to change the number from 08 to 16 in the script (so it will be -16), but it doesn't fix it. I've even gone so far as to remove the script, and it is still at +16. Is this something you can fix again for me? Thanks in advance either way :)
