Is this a style problem or an LJ problem?
I almost never use the "current mood" or the "current music" fields in my posts, but in a recent post I did. I put my current mood as "hungry." You can see where it's entered on the edit post page: screenshot 1. However in my journal, it shows up as "Current Music: hungry" (with a broken image--I need to actually put some mood icons up--ignore that for now). Here is a screenshot of the post how it looks in my journal, and here is the actual post. Is this a problem with my style? I had an old S1 style that looked like this, but couldn't figure out S2, so I paid someone make me an S2 style based off of my old style. So I don't fully know how S2 style stuff works, and I don't want to bug the person who made the style if it is a problem with LJ and not with the style. If it is a problem with the style, can someone tell me where to look to fix it? Thanks. | | Thursday, November 10th, 2011 | 8:56 am

embedding fonts on livejournal
I've spent a lot of time knowing the ins and outs of my lj theme 'tranquility ii'. One of the things I have never been able to figure out is how to embed a font from my own personal font library so that that anybody viewing my blog will see my entries with my selected font, regardless whether they have a copy of it on their computer.
The font in question here is called Chandler, a vintage typewriter style font. From what I understand, embedding requires that a true type font be used. Is there a quick and easy way to convert a bitmap font to the required format? If so, would I be pursuing this objective in vain seeing as I don't know where to begin to embed a font for my livejournal entries? | | Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 | 7:54 pm

I'm guessing the only way to do what I'm wondering about is by modifying things at the layout level so hopefully this is the right place, but feel free to let me know if there's an easier way to do it... (BTW, I'm most comfortable with Flexible Squares, so I'd prefer to use that as my base, but tweak little things in it.) 1) You know how to leave a comment, you have to click on something that says "Leave a comment" unless it's been modified? (Mine is "Post a comment" currently.) I want it to read "Leave a comment to X" where X is the username of the poster. On my journal in the Recent pages, it'd be "Leave a comment to squaringkarma." But on the Friends pages, it'd be whoever that posted. And if it's a community post, it should be "Leave a comment to X in Y" where Y is the community name. When this is implemented, the username should not be below the userpic and in the case of users that do not have a userpic to go along with their post, the userpicfriends class should not be displayed. 1b) An alternative that I could be satisfied with (I think this would be easier?) is that instead of having the username underneath the userpic in Friends pages (and I think Reply pages, too) is have a line at the end of the post that says "Posted by X | # comments | Leave a comment" (or "Posted by X in Y | # comments | Leave a comment") and the first section isn't linked. This could be particularly helpful in having the userpicfriends class not appear when the post is a syndicated account or a user doesn't specify a userpic. (This part is the same as what I'm trying to say in the first part...) 2) I like to think my current layout (done purely through CSS) looks pretty cool on Firefox (and Safari thanks to a friend checking that for me), but it looks awful on IE. Is it possible to keep the general qualities of it, but make it look better on IE (I know the rounded corners won't work on IE, but I'd like everything else) *without* modifying the layout layer? Or do I have to do some adjusting of where classes are placed? I believe the userpic and userpicfriends classes are declared before the date and subject classes and I think this might be part of my issue. Please offer any tips if I'm going in the right or wrong direction. Thank you. Well, I think that's it for now. I hope you all can help! | | Sunday, January 25th, 2009 | 4:39 am

Aggregate RSS within S2
Is there a way to aggregate RSS directly within S2? In other words, I want to read an atribute from the last few entries in an RSS feed and display them right on my journal. I'd like to do this within S2 rather than embedding a third party tool to do it for me. Thanks. | | Thursday, January 22nd, 2009 | 3:09 pm

Customised recent entries page?
Unusual request but is it possible to specify which entires are displayed on the recent entries page? And (perhaps at a stretch) is it possible to put specific entries in the sidebar? (Basically I wanted to put twitter posts in the sidebar and everything else in the main recent entries page.) Edit: Just to clarify: - I want to filter my twitter posts (so certain entries) out of the recent entries page - It would be nice if these could be displayed in the sidebar but not necessary! Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to point me in the right direction. x Current Mood:  nervous | | Monday, December 15th, 2008 | 2:23 pm

Large images break my style -- help?
I really like the Standard Classic theme as it's the least complicated theme I've been able to find, and I tend to view my journal on devices like my phone, my PSP and my Eee. The only thing I don't like about this theme is what happens when my friend's list has an entry that is wider than the display -- which happens nearly every day with the webcomics I follow. What happens is that the entire page becomes as wide as the widest entry, which means I need to scroll left and right for every entry on that page. What I'd like is to do one of two things: keep the text from filling past the edge of the screen or have the overly-wide entries have their own scrollbars. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks!

cropping images
Sometimes I'll find that my f-list page contains images that exceed the boundary of the main entry borders. Is there a way to automatically crop < img src> entries so that over sized image files do not protrude from the content area of individual entries? | | Monday, August 25th, 2008 | 10:15 am

Link to Login page when not logged in
I was reading through the core layer and found a variable for determining if a viewer was logged in or not, and the comments suggested we make a link to the login page if they aren't. I took it a step further and made a simple login form, but ran into an interesting security issue. ( The Code, with Friends Page Breaking pre Tags )When I view the page with a login form on it (which is every page printed with Page::print();, which is every page in my layout), the word 'password' is removed from the type="password" portion of the input tag, leaving it as type="". One can still enter their username and password and login, but the password is not covered by dots or stars by the client browser because the browser isn't being told it's a password field. The default type for unspecified fields is "text", which shows up in plain text, not masked. For now, I have commented out the entire form in my S2 layout so the only thing that's rendered is a link to the login page. open_module() and close_module() do nothing more than setup div containers with defined classes and titles, but if anyone feels the code in them is absolutely necessary, let me know and I'll post it as well. I have two ideas to solve this problem. Simple: Stop stripping "password" out as an input type. Slightly Less Simple: Provide a builtin function in the core layer for providing a login form, probably via something akin to $p->login_form();. | | Saturday, April 26th, 2008 | 8:09 pm

A long time ago I heard about some LJ feature where you could download your entire journal archive with comments to your computer. Does anyone know if this option still exists, and if so, how to do it? I found the section about downloading, just not about with comments. | | Saturday, March 15th, 2008 | 8:02 pm

Expressive help
I hope this is an okay question to ask here... A friend of mine is designing some graphics for my journal, and I'm unsure how to plug them into the Expressive layout. He's doing a header and then a small graphic to put next to my entry titles. I also want to change the color scheme for things like links and the background. I'm unsure how to plug all this in with everything else. Can someone either talk me through how to alter these things or point me to a FAQ or step-by-step guide that explains them pretty clearly? I know basic HTML and CSS, but the S2 language is totally different, and I'm lost!! Thanks in advance! -Christina Current Mood:  confused | | Friday, February 29th, 2008 | 1:07 pm

I have no use for viewing lj-cuts
It seems in S2 there was something you could do so that all the lj-cuts would disappear and you could view everyones entries on your friends list view without clicking each time someone used an lj-cut. Can anyone help me with this? Current Mood: hopeful | | Sunday, February 3rd, 2008 | 3:19 pm

Hopefully it's okay to ask this here. Back to LJ after a bit of a break, and it's changed a lot. I don't want to reteach myself how to completely do a layout from scratch, but was just going to go ahead and change a few things about one already made. Does anyone know of a layout that allows headers, but also includes tags in the sidbar? I know Quite Lickable allows you to change the banner. But it doesn't include tags in the sidebar. Was wondering if there was one that allows both tags and an image for the header. Sorry if this doesn't belong in this community. I saw the note about not asking about overrides. But thought this was a bit more related to styles in general then just overides. ^^; I'll delete it if it's out of place. | | Monday, January 14th, 2008 | 1:22 am

Picture in sidebar
Hi all, I have no idea if this is possible, but I would love to have a small picture in my sidebar, preferably in my links list. Not a picture that links to something, but just a picture in between or at the end of the list of links. I'm using Disjointed and have a Plus account. Also, because this stylesheet has no header in which I can put the name of my journal, I would love to be able to put that name above my userspic in the sidebar. Help would be greatly appreciated! | | Friday, January 11th, 2008 | 3:22 pm

Sorry if I've accidentally wandered into the wrong community -- I'm trying to find a place where I can learn a little bit about modifying themes, and I know almost no CSS. Is there a better place for a total noob to go, or will my silly questions be tolerated here? (PS. Please don't judge me by the ugly appearance of my journal right now! ...I'm a mostly non-digital art type and have been tinkering to see what modifications I can figure out how to implement myself.)

un-tiling a header photo in "Quite Lickable"
Hey guys, I've recently switched over my journal from S1 to S2, and I'm trying to put a header picture in it. I'm using the template "Quite Lickable" and it has a section under additional options where I've tried pasting the URL of my header. However, every time I do that, it resizes the photo smaller and tiles it both vertically and horizontally. Is there something I can do to make the header photo just appear once? I've tried changing the size of the header box and the size of the content area, but that hasn't really helped. I'm using a free account. Thanks! ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) parmandiriel | | Friday, December 14th, 2007 | 8:30 am

Expressive question
I want to add an extra section on my sidebars on the Expressive style. I joined a webring and want to be able to put the html text with the Next, Back, and List links in the webring on the side bar. Here's basically what I want, under the cut. ( Expressive sidebar addition )Any help would be much appreciated! | | Friday, September 21st, 2007 | 12:34 pm

i'm about to do what my icons doing... somebody willing to try...
I don't understand why it's so hard to take a particular theme you like... as in one of the one's already created in S2 and alter it a bit. I keep finding nice layouts of things I would prefer, but I just want to add a picture behind it. I know how to do this in S1 with the GLOBAL_HEAD and that works, but none of the particular ways it looks with the other theme options given suit me. Basically if I use Tranquility II and the default color theme, how can I just add a picture behind it and have it as the main layout's stylesheet on each page of LJ?If gone into Custom CSS within S2 there and tried putting the GLOBAL_HEAD background-image information there, but it doesn't work. Any help would be great! Current Mood:  aggravated | | Sunday, August 19th, 2007 | 7:36 pm

td align...?
Ello all...I have a question about a table. If you go to the very top entry of my journal ("test"), I have bold text with a time next to it. This is the html I'm using for the second and third titles/dates: /table width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td>/b>picnic was terrible.</b></td>< td align=right>[/b>05:54pm</b>]</td></tr></table> On the most recent entry page, the time TD (in bold) doesn't align right. However, on the actual entry page, it does. So, what I'd like to know is how I can make the TD align right on the recent entry page? I have no idea how to go about this...it seems like it's something funny thing about LJ, like how I have to fill out the website portion of my profile in order for my userinfo and memories links to show up. Thanks for any ideas or input. |
