2009-09-08T00:37:20Z

DISCLAIMER: This document is not an official LiveJournal document. It is a resource document maintained by a fellow user. The original source of information is noted, where available. LiveJournal takes no responsibility for the information found in this document.

LiveJournal's app for MySpace shows the most recently posted public entries in your journal. It also shows basic public information about your journal, including your default userpic, your username and a link to your LiveJournal profile and journal, your displayed name, the top section of your bio, and the top section of your interests. This application does not request your password, as it displays only public content, and does not verify journal ownership.

How do I update my MySpace profile when I post entries to LiveJournal?

To use the application, log into MySpace, click More from the upper nav bar, choose Apps Gallery from the drop-down and do a keyword search for LiveJournal. You may also visit the application directly.

Click the 'Add App' or 'Add this App' button. You will be given a pop-up window and prompted to add the application. The application can be displayed on your profile for your visitors to see, on your home page for you to see, or both. You can also let your friends know you have added this application. All of these options are selected by default. Make any changes and click the 'Add' button.

You will be prompted to enter your LiveJournal username, pick the number of posts to display in the widget, and pick colors. Click the 'Save' button when done. (If you use NoScript or a similar means of controlling what domains may run scripts, you must allow msappspace.com to complete this step.)

Once you have installed the LiveJournal app, you can manage it from the My Apps page. Click Profile from the upper nav bar, choose My Apps from the drop-down, and locate LiveJournal on the page. Click the Settings link to change its settings, add it back to your Home page or Profile page, and manage application permissions. Click the Remove App link if you wish to remove it completely from your account.

[generator] Additional Navigation Banner customizations

2007-10-04T17:47:04Z

This tutorial explains how customize the header in any way CSS allows to via overrides. You should use it only in the Generator layout; otherwise this code may cause undesired behavior.

If you copy and paste all the code provided below to your overrides, it will turn the font color of your entire navigation bar to red; however, you can replace the code in orange to any other CSS, which will enable you to achieve other effects . For information on CSS rules, you can refer to another tutorial.

All codes you will get as a result should be added to your GLOBAL_HEAD override.

The following code will change behavior of the title of your journal, which is by default placed right below your Control Strip, to the left of the [entries|friends|calendar] links bar:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
tr.caption td.caption{
 color: red;
}
-->
</style>

The following code will change appearance of regular text in the [entries|friends|calendar] links bar, except for links. That is, if you are viewing your Recent Entries page, if will affect square brackets ([ and ]), the "entries" text, and the pipe symbol (|).

<style type="text/css">
<!--
tr.caption td.index{
 color: red;
}
-->
</style>

The following one will change appearance of the text which symbolizes the page current viewed (if you view your own Recent Entries page, this is the "entries" text). By default it is bold, and this code will remove boldness from it. If you wish it to stay bold, you can remove the purple line from this code.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
tr.caption td.index b{
font-weight: normal;
color: red;
}
-->
</style>

And the following piece, the last one, will change appearance of links in the same bar:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
tr.caption td.index a{
 color: red;
}
-->
</style>

Only one override is permitted for each specific override block. If you are currently using a GLOBAL_HEAD override, then that override would need to be revised to reflect changes presented here or otherwise merged.

[paid] Friends Page RSS

2006-12-21T21:46:28Z

LiveJournal provides feeds of journals, but there are no feeds of friends pages. If you wish to subscribe to your friends' entries using a feed aggregator, you can add each of your friends' individual feeds. Alternatively, if you have a paid, permanent or early adopter account, you can use a specially designed custom style to subscribe to all of your friends at once.

First, you will need to mark the S1 style #670763 trusted. You can do this at the Admin Console, using the following command:
set trusted_s1 670763
Then you will be able to use the following URL (after replacing exampleusername with your own username) to subscribe to your friends page in an RSS aggregator:
http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/data/customview?styleid=670763

Note that protected entries will not appear in this feed. If your RSS reader supports cookies, you can add "&checkcookies=1" to the end of the URL to see the protected entries.

If you wish the feed to contain entries from only one certain friends group, you may need to make that group default view. Alternatively, if your RSS aggregator supports cookies, you can use a "filter" parameter with "&checkcookies=1" to filter your friends page. For information on using the filter parameter, please refer to the Guide on customview.

Creating a scrolling text box using the <textarea> HTML tag

2006-12-19T01:34:12Z

A scrolling text box is often used to put code onto a LiveJournal page for other people to copy to use elsewhere.

Here is the code that creates a simple scrolling text box. Changing the values in the "cols" and "rows" will make your text box bigger or smaller.

<textarea cols="20" rows="5"> your text box contents go here </textarea>

You can add a scrolling text box to your user information page by putting the HTML in the "about you" section of your Edit Profile page. You can also add them to a journal entry or a comment.

Malformed HTML tags can cause your journal, comments pages and friends pages to display incorrectly or trigger an "irreparable invalid markup in entry" error. To avoid malformed HTML you should "escape" any HTML you put in the text box in order to ensure that the code displays correctly. This means that &, < and > should be typed as &, < and > respectively.

[all] Customizing Navigation Strip Colors

2006-07-25T19:44:33Z

The settings for the Navigation Strip allow you to choose dark grey (with light text), or light grey (with dark text). However, these options don't always match the journal's style. Luckily, it's possible to use CSS to change the background and text color for the navigation strip.

There are four elements that are easily customizable: the background to the strip, which can be made transparent or, optionally, given a background color; the text color; the link color; and the border between the elements. The following override will allow you to change any or all of these colors. (Users who are familiar with CSS can also make additional customizations as desired.)

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">

</style>

<=GLOBAL_HEAD

Change #FFFFFF to the color code for the background color you want; if you want it to be transparent, so that the background color and image for the page will show through, type the word transparent instead of the color code. Change #000000 to the color code you want for the text; change #0000FF to the color code you want for links. For the border, change 1px to the desired width, solid to the desired border style (select from: none, dotted, dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset), and #888888 to the desired color code.

You can use the Color Hexadecimal Codes Chart to find the hexadecimal color code for your desired colors.

If you are already using a GLOBAL_HEAD override, you will need to merge this code with your existing code.

LiveJournal-specific URL forms

2006-06-30T08:16:50Z

There are several LiveJournal-specific URL forms that will only work on LiveJournal. These URLs can only be used in links made by using the anchor (<a>) HTML tag. In the following, the "//" can be removed. For example, both lj://user/exampleusername and lj:user/exampleusername/ will both link to exampleusername's journal.

lj://user/exampleusername/
This turns into the location of exampleusername's journal, i.e. http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/ or http://users.livejournal.com/exampleusername/.

You can also extend this URL form to make a link to other pages in the journal as long as the URL ends with a /. For example, lj://user/exampleusername/friends/ turns into the location of exampleusername's Friends page, i.e. http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/friends/ or http://users.livejournal.com/exampleusername/friends/. However, lj://user/exampleusername/123456.html (individual entry) or lj://user/exampleusername/tag/foo (entries tagged with "foo") wouldn't work, because they don't end with a /.

lj://user/exampleusername/profile
lj://userinfo/exampleusername/
Both of these forms turn into the location of exampleusername's User Info page (http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/profile or http://users.livejournal.com/exampleusername/profile).

lj://userpics/exampleusername/
This turns into the location of exampleusername's userpics page (http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=exampleusername).

lj://memories/exampleusername/
This turns into the location of exampleusername's Memories page (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=exampleusername).

lj://todo/exampleusername/
This turns into the location of exampleusername's to-do list (http://www.livejournal.com/todo/?user=exampleusername).

lj://pubkey/exampleusername/
This turns into the location of exampleusername's public key (http://www.livejournal.com/pubkey.bml?user=exampleusername).

lj://support/3777/
This turns into the location of the 3777th support request (http://www.livejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=3777). lj://support/ without a number will turn into a link to the main Support page (http://www.livejournal.com/support/).

lj://faq/75/
This turns into the location of FAQ Question #75 (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75), i.e. this FAQ. lj://faq/ without a number turns into a link to the main FAQ page (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq.bml).

lj://
This turns into the location of the LiveJournal home page (http://www.livejournal.com/).

[paidaccounts] [all] Adding a Navigation Strip

2006-04-07T02:36:51Z

Paid Accounts OnlyThe following tutorial requires creating and editing a custom style, which in turn requires a paid, permanent, or early adopter account. Please read What are the paid account benefits? and How do I buy a paid account? to learn about the paid account benefits and how to buy a paid account.

LiveJournal provides the Navigation Strip for easy access to common site features. All system styles automatically support it, however, if you have a custom style, you will need to include the system property for printing the Navigation Strip in your style in order for it to display. This property will need to be added immediately after the <body> tag of the HTML structure.

To do this, you will need to edit your custom style. The <body> tag can be found in the *_PAGE variable; you can add %%control_strip%% where you want the navigation strip to appear. The code generated by %%control_strip%% is self-contained, so you do not need to include extra HTML code to support it.

In this example, it's done directly following the <BODY> tag of the standard Generator style while editing inside the LASTN_PAGE section:

<body bgcolor="%%color:strong_back%%" text="%%color:page_text%%" link="%%color:page_link%%" vlink="%%color:page_vlink%%" alink="%%color:page_alink%%">
%%control_strip%%
.
.
.

You will also need to enable the navigation strip in your Edit Personal Information page before it will appear on your journal.

[magazine] content table transparency

2006-04-01T05:50:39Z

The content table within the Magazine style declares a specific background color. Therefore, if you want to add a background image or perform other similar customizations, those modifications will be hidden by the content of the table where the entries appear. In order to see your customizations, you will need to make the content tables transparent. The following overrides provide instructions on how to do this.

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD

Remember that you will need to merge these overrides with your existing overrides.

Rendering XML readable

2005-11-19T22:44:03Z

Currently, there are two formats in which you can download your journal: CSV (comma-separated values) and XML (extensible markup language).

Both of these formats have advantages and disadvantages. CSV has the advantage that it can be imported into spreadsheet applications (for example, users have reported success with newer versions of Microsoft Excel), from which it can generally be ported into text-editing or word-processing applications. XML has the advantage that, given a little bit of help, it can be viewed directly from your browser.

This tutorial aims to explain how to put your downloaded XML file into a browser-readable format. Please note that, short of converting XML into HTML (either by hand or using an automated script), there is no perfect way to do this; and older browsers are generally incapable of rendering XML. LiveJournal plans, in future, to make it possible to download your journal in other formats, such as HTML, which may be more convenient; for the moment, however, this appears to be the best way.

Step 1 is to obtain the XML file. FAQ #8 explains how to do this. Be sure to select XML as your output format (as opposed to CSV). Once you have obtained this file, save it to your hard drive. (Note: to do this, use your browser's "Save As..." feature, or alternatively use its "View Source" feature and use the resultant text file; if you are unsure how to do this, or encounter difficulties, consult your browser's documentation. Do not copy the code out of your browser window and paste it into a text editor, as that will not work properly.) Be sure to save it as an XML file (i.e., with the extension ".xml").

Step 2 is to edit the XML file slightly. To do this, open it in a regular text editor and add the line, <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="export.css"?> right after the first line of the file (so that it will be the second line of the file).

Step 3 is only if you intend to view your downloaded journal using Microsoft Internet Explorer; if you intend to view it using any other browser, skip this step and proceed to step 4. (This step addresses a bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer; however, the XML file it produces will not work quite properly in other browsers.) In the XML file from Steps 1 and 2, replace every occurence of "&" with "&amp;", of "<" with "&lt;", of ">" with "&gt;", and of """ with "&quot;". Many text editors come with a "Find and Replace" utility, often with the ability to change all occurences of certain text at once. If you are not sure if your text editor has this feature, or if you are not sure how to use it, consult its documentation.

Step 4 is to create a CSS stylesheet. You create it in the same way as you would a normal text file (using a text editor or word processor), except that when you save it, you save it as a CSS file instead of as a TXT file (i.e., save it with the extension ".css" instead of with the extension ".txt."). Name your stylesheet "export.css", saving it in the same directory as your XML file from Steps 1-3, and give it the following text:

livejournal

If you are familiar with CSS, you should feel free to edit this file to your liking.

Known issues:
1. Because of the way LiveJournal exports your entries, any markup in your entries will be displayed rather than applied; so, for example, if a given entry has a hyperlink in it, then you will see something like <a href="http://www.example.com/">example text</a> in your entry when viewing it this way. (Note: In the case of Microsoft Internet Explorer, there is a bug which means that if you do not follow Step 3 above, then the markup will simply be neither displayed nor applied. If you follow Step 3 above, then the Internet Explorer will display the markup rather than apply it.)
2. LiveJournal does not export autoformatting, so linebreaks will appear only as spaces. You can change this slightly by adding a CSS declaration such as entry{white-space:pre}; however, if you have any long paragraphs, this will result in horizontal scrolling. Ultimately, short of editing the XML file manually to insert line breaks in long paragraphs, there is no way to address both of these issues at once.
3. There is a bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer that affects the aesthetics of your exported journal; it creates a white background around a smaller blue background. There is no way to alter the white background; however, if you like, you can lessen the effects by setting the blue background to be white. To do this, change the fourth line of your CSS file (export.css) from background-color: #9999FF; to background-color: #FFFFFF;.
4. There is a bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer that causes the different parts of the entry (current mood, time posted according to LJ, etc.) not to be labeled explicitly. There is no simple way to address this; however, you can edit the CSS stylesheet such that the different parts appear different (or not at all, using the property display: none; on any entry part).

[C&S, def., mag., notepad, punq., ref. paper] Extended Comment Links Customization for "No Comments"

2005-10-27T18:00:11Z

The following overrides allow you to have a custom phrase show up when there are no comments on an entry. These overrides are intended to be used with the Default LiveJournal, Punquin Elegant w/Sidebar, Notepad, Refried Paper, Clean and Simple, and Magazine system styles. If you use these overrides with any other style, they may cause your journal to display incorrectly, such as changing the location of your comment links.

You will have to use the following GLOBAL_HEAD override in order to allow for a customize phrase to show up when there are no comments and also to create custom comment link pluralizations. This GLOBAL_HEAD override sets up 5 classes that will be used to 'hide' certain text depending on the number of comments that are on an entry. Remember that you have to merge this override with any existing GLOBAL_HEAD overrides that you might have.

GLOBAL_HEAD<=

<style type="text/css">

<!--

.nc, .ncs, .v, .scs, .pc {

display: none;

}

-->

</style>


<=GLOBAL_HEAD

Each style has three sets of overrides, one for each of the three journal views. LASTN overrides affect the Recent Entries page, FRIENDS overrides affect the Friends page, and DAY overrides affect the Day page, which is accessible through the Calendar view. If you are not using the same style on all three of these views, then you may need to combine overrides from multiple tutorials in order to use the correct override for each combination of styles and views.

LASTN View:

<=DAY_TALK_LINKS

Leave a Comment : word or phrase you want to use as a link to post a new comment
no one has spoken : word or phrase that will be displayed when there are no comments
has spoken : word or phrase that will be displayed when there is one comments
have spoken : word or phrase that will be displayed when there are more then one comments
| : what will be displayed between the comment links

You might look at the *_TALK_READLINK overrides and think that it's not possible for that to allow for a link to view the comments to be present. Well you are partly correct in thinking this way. The *_TALK_READLINK override itself does not produce any text that could be used to make a link. If you look at the *_TALK_LINKS overrides, you will notice that I have placed %%readlink%% into the class argument of the span tags. The %%readlink%% will be replaced by whatever is "produced" by the *_TALK_READLINK override. The *_TALK_READLINK overrides will "produce" either nothing, a 'c' or a 'cs' depending on the number of comments that are on the entry.

What is produced	Reason it was produced
nothing	No comments on the entry
'c'	One comment on the entry
'cs'	More then one comment on the entry

Using what was produced by the *_TALK_READLINK, 12 different class can be produced.

Class	Needed for...
n	This class is needed to view: no one has spoken when there are no comments.
nc, ncs	These classes are needed to hide: no one has spoken when there are comments
v	This class is needed to hide the link to read the comments when there are no comments to read
vc, vcs	These classes are needed to view the link to read the comments when there are comments to read
s,scs	These classes are needed to hide: has spoken when there is either no comments or more then one comment
sc	This classes is needed to view: has spoken when there is exactly one comment
p,pc	These classes are needed to hide: have spoken when there is either no comments or only one comment
pcs	This class is need to view: have spoken when there is more then one comment

This is where the 5 classes that were given the display: none; property in the GLOBAL_HEAD become important. In the table above you will notice that these 5 classes reference to when a class is needed to 'hide' certain text. You might notice that there is actual 7 classes that reference to when a class is needed to 'hide' text, the other 2 classes are the s and p class. we don't have to worry about hiding the s and p classes because the v class will "surround" these class and the result will be that this text will be hidden as well.

Change share your thoughts to the word or phrase you want to use as a link to post a new comment and change thought to the word or phrase you want displayed when there is one comment on an entry.

The S1 style system supports four forms of pluralization for comment links. If the word can be pluralized by adding "s" to the end, you do not need to change %%mc-plural-s%% at all. For other pluralizations, you should make the following changes:

Add "es":: Change %%mc-plural-s%% to %%mc-plural-es%%.
Change "y" to "ies":: Remove the "y" from the word and change %%mc-plural-s%% to %%mc-plural-ies%%.
Singular and plural are the same:: Remove %%mc-plural-s%%.

If you want to use a pluralization method that is not listed here, it may be possible through the advanced overrides described in the Extended Comments Links Pluralization tutorial.
