| I have nothing to do at work today except for answer phones once in a while and help you guys, so I decided to drop in again. Yes, there is. I actually created a style like that a while ago, which is available to the public. It's aptly called Fixed-Size Entries. Of course, I created this long before I understood the difference between ID= and CLASS=, so I used ID="shrinkie" when I should have used CLASS="shrinkie"... anyway, in case you don't like Generator, the basic concept behind the style is this simple style definition: .shrinkie { width: ???px; height: ???px; overflow: auto; } You can change the width and height values to whatever you want. To import this style to your journal, create a style, select "Friends View" and enter Style ID #116147 into the correct box. You can only do this if you have a paid account.

| Hi, new mod here: Dan's decided to step off LJ for a bit, and has passed on the moderator hat. I'm your new mod here. It shouldn't change the way anything's been going on, though if you have suggestions, I'm open to them. (Note to experts: I did go in and clean up the help thread, deleting questions that had already been answered, so it should be easier to find folks that still need help now.) Thanks, everyone! I now return you to your regularly scheduled style help. Current Mood: informative Link to this entry: http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=stylehelp&itemid=9440 | |

| Problem summary: | Useful LASTN ![]() |
| Answered by: | |
| Here's the LASTN I use myself. I find it extremely useful because it links directly to basically everything I use LJ for. Nobody will probably just use this style as-is, but I'm sure most of you will find at least one element of it that you wish to adopt into your own styles (most of the elements I used were thought up by other people).

There isn't really an elegant way to do this, but you can do it. Sort of. Actually, it's easier to do it on your friends' page than on your own (at least, and make it a public style). In the FRIENDS_EVENT section where you want your date, use the code [Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<blockquote [...] font-size:10px">') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]
<lj user="aurorawizard"> asks: "I'd like to add a link to the day view from the date of entries...I'd like to be able to create this effect so that I could maybe eventually make this a public style. I'd also like to do the same thing on my friend page." There isn't really an elegant way to do this, but you <b>can</b> do it. Sort of. Actually, it's easier to do it on your friends' page than on your own (at least, and make it a public style). In the FRIENDS_EVENT section where you want your date, use the code<blockquote style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, system"; font-size:10px"><a href="%%cons:siteroot%%/users/%%user%%/day/%%datetime%%">%%datetime%%</a></blockquote>Voila! The drawback is that your FRIENDS_DATE_FORMAT will have to be %%yyyy%%/%%mm%%/%%dd%% (e.g., 2003/03/14 for today), so all your dates will show up that way. I see that in your current LASTN style, you've worked around the date-format problem by putting the link in your DATE_FORMAT section; the problem with that is, as you've discovered, the username variables aren't valid there. On your LASTN page, unfortunately, there are currently no sections where both %%username%% and %%datetime%% can be used. You're pretty much stuck with the way you're already doing it, and if you choose to make the style public, individuals would just have to type in their own usernames as applicable. (As a workaround, you could redirect your LASTN page to a filtered friends page containing only your entries, or you could make your journal a community and post from another account, then use the ALTPOSTER variable, but neither of these is really conducive to making an easy public style!)

| Okay, so I did a bad job last time. Now it works. Here's what you do, based on the Generator style: In FRIENDS_TALK_READLINK: <b>%%messagecount%% comment%%mc-plural-s%%</b></a>| In FRIENDS_TALK_LINKS: %%readlink%% In FRIENDS_EVENT, where you normally just put %%talklinks%%: <tr> <td align="right" colspan="2" width="100%" class="comments" style="background: %%bgcolor%%"> <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/talkre </td> </tr> To see this style in action, check out this link.

You can't do it through FRIENDS_TALK_LINKS because %%fgcolor%% and %%bgcolor%% doesn't work through there. So basically you have to copy all that stuff (talk and readlinks) into FRIENDS_EVENT (and the private and friends-only versions). Using Generator, your HTML for FRIENDS_EVENT might look something like this: ( code ) To see this style in action, check out this link. This is Stylehelp Style #190152 (feel free to copy and use).

| The question: Is it possible to use scrollbars for overflow in entry boxes with a free account? IE: on my FRIENDS page...if the entry is extremely long...it would automatically make it smaller with a scrollbar to view all of the entry. - The answer: this shouldn't be a problem. It won't look as good because you'd have to redefine a class that is already in place. So in Generator, for example you have to look at FRIENDS_EVENT: ( FRIENDS_EVENT ) You'd have to redefine entrybox as: .entrybox { height: 150px; overflow: auto; } That should work fine.
