HOWTO: Adding a Flickr Badge to LiveJournal's Expressive layout

[sbisson]

I'm feeling quite pleased with myself.

I've been delving into the mysteries of S2 and have been working out how to add custom HTML to a layout sidebar. The first fruits of my endeavours are now online, and I've add one of Flagrant Disregard's Flickr badges.

cool, i got up to this part and then got confused, can you explain it

Neat. But do you know why it doesn't work when I move the customtext line in the sidebar setting to the second row? Are there any references to how set sidebar_primary/secondary work somewhere?

ha, having the same problem. hope someone responds.

I actually got it to work eventually. I don't remember what did the magic, but here's a clip from my layer.

set sidebar_primary = [
[ "userprofile", "Profile", "1", "0" ],
[ "calendar", "Latest Month" ],
[ "customtext", "Weather", "" ],
[ "tags", "Tags" ],
[ "syndicate", "Syndicate" ],
];

Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll see if I can find what made the difference.

Thank you! I wanted to stick a photo in my custom module, and this is exactly what I needed.
