Parents are chaos in general. lol

Um.. this isn't really related, but I've been forgetting to ask you something.

Your layout is similar to the S2 layout I've been using, flexible squares. Did you code your own layout, or just like... tweak the S2 settings or something, out of curiousity?

Becca

I basically copied a code from my friends layout (yes, flexible squares) and I just added other code to it. If there's anything specific you want, tell me and I'll copy & paste the code here for you.

[rjchasez]

Well, I have a header/banner thing I wanted uptop... but I think it's a little too long... it might not be, I don't know. And there were a few things I wanted to add to my sidebar.

Becca

[secretlyevileen]

well the header can really be as big as you can fit on your screen. In the code you just have to specify what the height is. For the sidebar... you want like the extra boxes like I have to put just random stuff in?

[rjchasez]

Yes. I usually like to have one for stuff about me, then one with the songs I'm into at the moment. Then a place for my links, and a place for the song lyrics to the current song I'm using as a theme.

The header is 994 x 203... my screen is 1024 x 768. Too big?

Becca

[secretlyevileen]

Not too big for your screen. I use 1024x768 also... so you can use that header and i think it will fit the width of your browser and then for other ppl it won't. lol but personally I don't care how it looks in other ppl's browsers.

Here's the code for the sidebar. You can add as many boxes as you want.
You can put this at the top of your theme layer. If you have any <*style*> code then put it after the closed style tag <*/style*>

function print_sidebar

Okay I'm getting that much... but how do I code the rest of it? I'm sorry... html and the likes confuses me. :(

Becca

[secretlyevileen]

First, you understand where to put it right?

The html you won't really need unless you want to put images in the boxes like I have my icons. For that I can give you the code all set up :)

[rjchasez]

Well... my layout is S2... which doesn't let me put in codes. S1 is the format that lets you do that. I don't know the code for flexible squares.

I apologize. I'm coming off really stupid lol

Becca

[secretlyevileen]

aaaah. No no you can. :D I have it on S2. And since you have a paid account...

You go to Advanced Customization
then go to Layers. Look under Flexible Squares. You should probably see a link with numbers and in the next column you should probable see Theme and click Edit.

I put together the codes you need. And you just copy & paste it in and replace certain things with what you want.

Where you see margin-top: 514px !important; is where you put the height of your header.
layerinfo "type" = "theme

[secretlyevileen]

I included my scrollbar css code in there... which if you dont want you can just take it out and if you keep it just change the colors to match your layout.

[rjchasez]

I'm going to give that a shot. I hope I don't screw it up lol

Becca

[secretlyevileen]

lol copying & pasting is my friend.

[rjchasez]

ugh I'm getting the exact thing you said I probably wouldn't get: a compile error lol

Becca

[secretlyevileen]

aah lol

Hmm... well look at This. That's every bit of code I have in mine.

On your main layers page. Click on the Layer #
then click on View as HTML and copy the link and give it to me. Then I can take a look at it and see what's wrong. I'm sure it's probably something really simple.

[rjchasez]

It keeps saying that there is no such thing as print_userpic. What would that mean?
