The Blanket/Sprung theme is missing a preview image. I see it's been made (http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1824) but has it been uploaded to customize/previews?

[mark]

Ah-hah, thank you! Fixed now.

Umm. Something pretty drastic happened to my heavily-modified Negatives layout. It formerly looked a lot like my lj, vanessagalore. It seems like the text module (in the sidebar) has moved to the left, underneath my entries--it's a long vertical image; and the entries width is smaller than it was, and offset to the right. It's probably my fault, I don't really understand padding, etc., and fussed with the spacing by trial and error until I got it to look right, and I probably broke some CSS rule I shouldn't have.

I'm sort of busy right now and hoping I don't have to spend hours futzing with this. But like I said, it's probably an issue with my custom CSS, so I'll deal with it if it is my error.

[cesy]

I have a suspicion this is related to the new one-column option for Negatives (Bug 1798), but I can't currently see the custom text module to check. Can you check if you have one-column or two-column selected on the select style page, please?

[vanessagalore]

Looks like it's two-columns. Wasn't that the only option when this layout first started? I've had basically this layout unchanged for maybe 4 months?? started working on it in May....just a couple tweaks as I noticed small changes due to code pushes.

There's also something wonky with my navigation at the top of the page.

**sobs**

[afuna]

Hmm, okay, what happened was, that we had to add more specific rules for the #primary and #secondary column positioning, and that is causing the default Negatives CSS to now override yours.

To fix it, in your CSS, replace:
#primary with .two-columns-right #primary
#secondary with .two-columns-right #secondary

The sidebar overlaps the entry area somehow, but it is at least properly to the side now.

What is up with the navigation at the top of the page? What should it look like?

*cheers* the autocrosspost function works!

(Only I discover in the process of celebrating that the "edit last entry" function of Logjam *doesn't* work; something about the code DW is spitting back it doesn't like, probably that very same crossposting info? I can do more research and file a formal bug if you like... might take a few days...)

[denise]

Unfortunately, a lot of the clients developed for LJ won't necessarily work for DW -- we're changing the protocol in a bunch of different ways, like things with crossposting and 'friends'. We're hoping to get clients written for us soon, but it's so not our specialty!

[justhuman]

I know this is the wrong place for it, but I just tested crossposting via e-mail and I am overwhelmed by the *awesome* and just wanted to let you know.

Question: Are there DW specific tags for post by e-mail? I always found the LJ codes a little non-intuitive.

And b) Is there an easy way to grab a list of my icon names? One of the things that happens when I post by e-mail is that I want to use a specific icon and I can't quite get the spelling right.

[cesy]

New ones are post-userpic, post-tags, post-mood, post-music, post-comments, etc. That needs documenting, actually - I'll add it to the list.

I'm not sure about icon names - obviously you can get them from your userpics page, but that gives you all the icons, not just the list of keywords.

(For my reference, and any other devs, they were changed in Bug 721, cross-posting via email settings are Bug 1851 and the handy summary tool is Bug 1689.)

[vanessagalore]

That column positioning redefinition was easy enough to fix. Thank you very much.

The navigation links are fine; I accidentally had the page magnified last night when I was looking at it and it screwed with the padding, forcing the last link to the next when I was hovering.

Thanks very much for the help! It's so refreshing to get such speedy and useful assistance.

[afuna]

Oh awesome. Glad to hear it's all worked out!

[lauramcewan]

Would this have anything to do with why my Semagic is posting once to DW but twice to LJ every time I post?

[afuna]

Yup, sounds like it. We finally have posting from clients respect your default crosspost setting, so it's probably getting posted once from Semagic, and once from DW to LJ.

[lauramcewan]

ohhhh!!! That makes so much sense. Thank you so much!

[hahnsrockstar]

Not sure if this is related to the push but I only get a page and a half of entries from my reading page and then nothing. I know there are a ton more in existence. Where have they gone?

[cesy]

Note that your reading page only displays entries from the last two weeks, as explained in this FAQ. If there are still entries within the last two weeks that aren't displaying, please open a Support request and we'll look into it.

[hahnsrockstar]

Doh! Thanks. That was the issue.

loss of sidebar

[ambrya]

I have the same problem, my module containing tags, page summary etc. has moved. In my original setting, the page got 'wider', forcing me to use the sliding left/right bar at the bottom (sorry, no native english...). So I changed my negative into another pre-made style (negative again) and the problem was fixed. But each time I open a cut in my journal, the module moves to the bottom of the post. That does not look nice. And I have absolutely no idea about coding or whatever, I use the wizard. So I cannot use your solution to mentioned later in this post. Can anyone help?

Re: loss of sidebar

[vanessagalore]

I looked at your journal and I'm not seeing a problem right now, but if you still need help, you should probably post your question at stylesystem or gettingstarted, or perhaps pm afuna directly, who seems to be very knowledgeable about the Negatives layout (see above reply). I am just a user like you, with only limited experience, and you need to get your question to the people who can help you.

Re: loss of sidebar

[ambrya]

Thank you for pointing me into the right direction, I'll follow your advise. And you do not see the problem because I changed the layer / style after I could not fix it.

Re: loss of sidebar

[cesy]

I should add that the community names are actually style_system and getting_started.

[charamei]

Stickying seems to have an issue with backdated posts: my fic directory used to be dated Jan 1 2030, but when I dated it back to 2008 the stickied version stopped displaying its text*.

*The majority is under a cut; opening up the full post showed that the text was still there, but invisible on the 'Recent Posts' page. I've tested it with an uncut post and it's definitely the backdating, not the cut.

It doesn't seem to matter whether the post is backdated or stickied first: happens either way.

[afuna]

Thanks for the report!

Right now, only the last 200 entries on your journal work with sticky entries (that is, only those entries that naturally appear on your recent entries page), which is why changing the backdate/date changes the behavior. We'll have that fixed by code push -- tentatively this week or next week -- at which point all entries will be stickied with no problems.
