Hiding default navigation links

kaielyandcoffee — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 14:00:06 GMT

Hi all,

Would appreciate if you could help me in hiding the default navigation links (Recent Entries, Archive, User info).

Thanks!

Two things

shadow_of_mars — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:03:00 GMT

I've come to love this style, but I've got two customisation problems that I can't figure out.

First, my Friends page refuses to display more than 10 entries no matter what number I enter in the box. I want to be able to see around a hundred... Do the scripts react to my large numbers with a small default?

Second, is it possible to have my Links List above my Page Summary? The links are invisible way down there.

Thanks for your time, everyone.

Adding a free text area (blurb, etc) to my sidebar?

s3lfexpr3ssion — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:01:29 GMT

Maybe this has been answered before, but I didn't see anything for it..

Is there any way I could add a free text area to my sidebar? I've managed to muddle my way through several tutorials to arrive at

But I'm at a loss to finish the oooone tiny thing I'd like to have.. Any ideas?

footers

slavezombie — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 19:46:46 GMT

Is there a way to customize the wording of the footer? I'm trying to play around with the wording at my slavezombie blog but I don't see any options to customize text for it.

How can I hide the "current mood, music, location" part of my entries?

sidebox title menu

slavezombie — Fri, 23 May 2008 18:42:39 GMT

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to list the entry titles on the sidebar so that they contain the total number of replies instead of just a pound sign (#). If you look at magnoliafires, you'll get an idea of what I'm after.

Two questions

rikes — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:44:43 GMT

1. Is it possible to make the default icon in the sidebar to function as a link to my userpics page?

2. How could I get some space between the body of an entry and its tags?

Thanks for your help! :)

A few questions...

blackcatbone — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:00:15 GMT

Is there a way to get rid of some of the links at the bottom of each entry on the recent entries page? 'Edit Tags | Add to Memories | Tell a Friend | Track This' aren't really necessary and just make the entries look cluttered.

How do I add a header image to a basic account?

And is there any way to remove the sidebar/menu altogether and put links in the main column with the entries, just below the header?

Free account question...

damalur — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 07:25:07 GMT

I love the tranquility II layout, but I'd like to have a tags list in the menu (like I do now in my flexible squares layout). Is there a way to do this with a free account (or even a plus account)?

Adding cloud tags to Tranq. II

syd_ultralight — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 21:32:41 GMT

Can anyone help me here?

I have the tags on my entries and I have a paid account. How can I get my tags to appear on my sidebar and is there any way to get the cloud effect (where the tag used more often is larger)?

A few of the codes I've found for other layout styles screw up the layout theme already in place. I'd like to do this without having to go re through and fix my layout.

Any help would be great. If you can help with just getting the tag list on the side only that would be great too.

Thank you!

voice posts & embedded videos

magnoliafires — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 05:14:54 GMT

I have a couple of quick questions for you lovely folks.

The first is this, my friends page, at about the fifth post down. As you can see, the voice post is messing up almost the entire page; none of the fifteen or so entries before it are displaying, and their comment links are all smushed together. Is there any way to fix this?

Secondly, this style seems not to be able to display embedded videos. This is a screencap of an entry with customized comment pages disabled, and this is with customized comment pages enabled. As you can see, in the first screencap, with customized comment pages disabled, you CAN see the embedded video. In the second, not so much. I have the same problem when browsing my flist - if they don't put videos behind a cut, I can't see that they're there. Is there anything that can be done so that embedded videos actually show up?

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

bi-level tags

alexandramuses — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 20:49:25 GMT

Has anyone ever adapted the Bi-Level Tags in Sidebar Flexible Squares tutorial for tranqII? I'd really, really like to use it, as I have many, many tags. I've tried tweaking the code myself, but I quickly hit a barrier because tranqii doesn't have a sidebar box function like Flexible Squares.

Novice question

mi_nion — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 14:41:47 GMT

Can someone point me in the direction of a coding for dummies or beginner coding comm? I have the Tranquility II layout on my LJ, but it's a bit plain. I'd like to organize the sidebar into boxes for a cleaner appearance & maybe add a banner header but I don't know anything about coding. I would however like to learn. I'm at work so I may not be able to respond to everyone's replies, but I'd really appreaciate some help.
ETA: Managed to get the header up.

Still the big gap

ex_dinerjun — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 14:03:18 GMT

Does anyone else still have that enormous gap between the first two entries? I was told someone was working on fixing that but I haven't noticed any change yet.

Any word?

Tags?

slagkick — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 09:24:53 GMT

Hey, this is the first time I've played with Tranquility II using the "new" S2 editor, and I apologize if the solution to this is really easy or obvious...but I am, as all of you probably are, really picky about my style. And I don't like how there's no line break before the tags are listed. Is there a way to adjust this via CSS? Or hide tags on the layout, even. I like having my entries tagged; I just wish I had more control over how they're displayed. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Big gap b/w first and second entries on a page

abunchofrandom — Sun, 06 Aug 2006 05:30:21 GMT

In the last week or two, a large gap has appeared between the first and second posts on my Friends' and Recent Entries pages. I'm running Windows XP, and it happens in both Firefox 1.5 and IE 6. Anyone else notice this? Any ideas what I can do to fix it?

EDIT: I see it on the s2_tranquility page too! The second post on the page seems to start where the sidebar ends in both cases.

Userpics in Recent

bandaged_doll — Sat, 01 Jul 2006 07:52:55 GMT

I was wondering if anyone could give me the CSS code for putting userpictures in the recent entries. I tried with the whole, long code and I kept getting errors.

Also, is there a way to put pictures in the sidebar or get rid of 'page summary'? Can pictures be placed there instead?

Thanks for any help.

How to get rid of the "Comment {1}"

sdlucly — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 01:08:46 GMT

Hello there, I was wondering, does anyone know how to get the font of the comment number a little bit smaller, or get rid of it all together?

And, also of the title of the entry:

I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the settings, in the whole:

set f_entry = "Verdana";
set f_entry = "11px";

part, but I'm not sure which one is it, or if I have to add it or something. Thanks a lot for your help! *g*

Oh, also, I found this in one post, somewhere, not quite sure where:

set text_page_prev = "Before";
set text_page_next = "After";

But when I put it in my layer, it says that it doesn't recognize the function. What's wrong? Thanks.

Problem with centering

sdlucly — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 23:14:42 GMT

Hello there. I was changing the layout of a community and after adding the header, both the metadata and the main page moved to the left side of the screen. I'm not sure why this happened. The moment I remove the header, it returns back to normal. So, I wonder, what's the problem?

Figured, I might as well just add the code.

layerinfo "type" = "user";
layerinfo "name" = "coded by sdlucly";
layerinfo "source_viewable" = 1;
function Page::print_custom_head() { """

Now, as you can see in this link, the only thing centered (in a way) is the banner, the whole layout is leaning to the left side. What happened? When I delete

set css_style_overrides = "#banner {background-image: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/sdlucly/Layout-TranquilityII/theocslashheader.jpg); height: 390px; width: 970px; margin: 0 auto;} #banner h1 {display: none;}";

the layout is back in the center, but without the header, of course. Help? Please?

edit: After a lot of changing, I've realized that it's because of the size of the image header, 970px. If I shorten it to 950, the layout doesn't move much from the center. However, I assume there must be a way to have a long header and yet the layout stays in the center. Still wondering about that.

Comment box text help needed

boofadil — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 19:07:39 GMT

Is there anyway to change the font size for the text in the actual box where someone is typing out a comment? And if so, is there a way to do it without muckin' about with layers? I'm willing to learn layers, but thus far I've managed to avoid them so I'd like to keep it that way cause they're mad intimidating.

Anyway, what makes it even more strange is that the font is different sizes depending on which view you click the link from. If you click "leave a comment" on the Recent Entries view, it's small but not ridiculously so. But if you first click the number to read other's comments and then click "leave a comment" from that view, it's ridiculously itty bitty. However if you reply to someone else's comment it's back to the small but not unreadably so.

Any help would be appreciated.

lab_brat — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 10:16:41 GMT

Hi

I've been using t2 layout for a comm I manage for quite a while now, and today I went to customise the layout a little, intending to add the tags to the sidebar.

But LJ seems to have released their new customisation panel and I cant figure out how now!

The comm is a free account, but I am pretty sure I could change what is in the sidebar as I turned a few things -off- before. The page summary for example. But now there doesnt seem to be a sidebar option in the customisation panel. I clicked the custom options tab and there is Presentation, Colors, Fonts, Text, and Custom CSS. Nowhere on these is a sidebar section whre I can choose what displays on it.

help?
