Problems with layouts
Please , comment here the problem you're having and i'm going to try to solve it as quicly as possible.


Follow the rules below.

1. Posts here can't be anonymous or I won't answer.
2. All the post need to have the the name of the layout and the problem you've encountered.


FAQ:



Q. My images don't Show. What happened ?
A: 1. copy the images to your computer
2. upload them on imagehack or imagebucket and copy the code to an empty notepad or already on the custom css part of lj customize.
3.Ctrl+F to localize the word IMAGE_HEADER, and change it with the adress that you uploaded your images.
Ex.:

from this :
.header-title {
font-size: 0px;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(IMAGE_HEADER);

to this :
.header-title {
font-size: 0px;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd171/waru_girl/header.jpg);





Q. How I wrap the entry text unde user info ?
A. go to :
journal > customize journal > display > additional options >Wrap Entry text under userinfo

Realize that 'Wrap Entry text under userinfo ' differs from 'Wrap Comment text under userinfo'
once put on yes AND saved it should work on every page of your journal.



Q. I got the layout, installed, but it is different from your live preview. What i do ?
A. Two option for that. First. You didn't changed the key workds (IMAGE_HEADER, NAV_BG, BODY_BG, etc).
or second : You didn't put 'no' on the 'Use layout's stylesheet(s)' and 'Use layout's stylesheet(s) when including custom external stylesheet' at the custom css options.
You need to put both option to 'no' or else thing will get screwed XD

calm down, it's easy.
just click on journal, customize journal.

You'll find the s2 system, on the searc tool, just write smooth sailing, and them click in any smooth sailing theme that apear to you.

Hm.. So I'm here about the Reita (pulse wriggling to black) layout..

I followed your directions, and everything looks great.. except for the fact that I can't get the text to "wrap" for friends page. I clicked "yes" for the "wrap text.." option, and it does that for my "recent entries" page, but not for my friends :O. Any suggestions? Thanks!

lets go.
the instructions about it should be :
go to :
journal > customize journal > display > additional options >Wrap Entry text under userinfo

Realize that 'Wrap Entry text under userinfo ' differs from 'Wrap Comment text under userinfo'
once put on yes AND saved it should work on every page of your journal.

as long as I know the only way of doing it is using or a paid acociunt or a basic one. On the basic one you can have only 6 avatars and your comments page is shown as this one, ignoring you main layout.

Ah, I'm already having problems. xD'

The header doesn't line up with the body, and to the right of the sidebar, it's just white. D: (I'm not good at explaining, check my page to see what I mean.)

I need to get off the computer now, so I'll be back later. ;A;'

wtf ?
did you changed you style to smooth sailing ?
the code posted on the preview is okay, i've double checked it.
Try to change to smooth sailing, and on the custom css options mark 'no' in all drop and down.

2008-03-05 08:46 pm UTC (link)
Hello!

I installed the codes and followed your instructions on the custom CSS. I wrapped the text and the comments both under the header in the settings, however it does not wrap correcly, I suppose because I can't get the ad to go between my entries.

I screencapped how my journal looks now:
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff146/ZomBiatch/Misc/lj_screencap.jpg

I have a Plus account and I can't find the option to put the ads between my entries. Could you please help me with that?

Thank you in advance!

let's see, did you put all the option on the custom css screnn to no ? because teh settings for the body aren't right. you shouldn't have no top margin either ;)

if you did that, i would suggest for you to post the css again, because i could see a /* on the beggining of your code that shouldn't be there ;)

Hey there, I'm trying to use your Elegance Beyond Simplicity layout but my text is being offset to the far left and it's sitting over the navigation bar. :(

I have a plus account. I have it set to Flexible Squares and the ads are set to go between entries. I'm not sure what else to do. Layout's still up at my journal if you want to take a peek at it: http://shadowsyra.livejournal.com/

Okay, so I'm using the Simple Elegance - Miyavi layout. As you can see from my journal, all the entries are stretching and one of the links ran through the lines. How can I fix this?

Hi there! I'm using your TMR layout. Everything looks great except it's not centered. Can you take a look and offer a suggestion? I'm new to S2, but I have a Smooth Sailing format, I did the wrap text thing, No on the drop down boxes about style sheets... I'm not sure what to do. Please advise :)

I put the images down where they belonged, but they still aren't displaying (and I made sure to do it the way you showed it in the above entry). I have no idea why.
