Smooth Sailing Layout Source *updated 8/10/07*

Contents: Smooth Sailing Source Code
Exclusive: No
Subject: Layout Source
Status: Copy/Paste As Is
Credit: Not needed, though feel free to point people back here!
Comments: OMG, totally went to LJ and snagged this. I might be addicted to the layout.

First, you must go to your layers. Under Create Layer, choose create top-level layer > type: Layout, then click on create.

You'll see your new layout layer under where it say 'Child of layer 1: LiveJournal S2 Core, v1'. Click edit and past in the coding I've provided.

Layout Layer

After you've pasted in the code, it the 'save and compile' button at the top, and that should be all. You'll now have Smooth Sailing to choose from in your customization wizard.

*I've added a link to Memories in the menu. If you wish to either delete, or change the link name for this, here's what you need to put in your theme layer:



It's this section that needs to be changed {or removed}:
"""<li><a href="$*SITEROOT/tools/memories.bml?user=$.journal.username">Memories</a></li>""";

Note, that you can also add in menu links if you want. Just make sure they follow this guidline:

"""<li><a href="LINK URL">LINK TEXT</a></li>""";

Thank you for posting this. I was just weeping that Smooth Sailing was available as a standard here.

I've imported your code, and have customized it to suit me. Thank you again!
No problem! I saw that there wasn't smooth sailing and was hurt. A lot of my favorite layouts I've made are in smooth sailing.

I plan on posting them here, as well as working with the styles they have here so that everyone can play along.
I don't suppose you could be enticed into bringing Flexible Squares over here (or telling me how the heck to find the source code myself)?
I can actually do both.

If you go here: LJ Public Layers

Then click on Flexible Squares. At the top, you should find two links that say Raw Source Code and Syntax Highlighted. Click on either of those.

Of course, there will be some errors. There are things that this site doesn't have, or has different. So, you'll have to fiddle with the code some.

I'll be working on bringing Flexible Squares this weekend.

However, like the tagging here says, you need to be paid or permanent to be able to use these, because you have to be able to create layers.
Thank you! ::is edumacated::

I'm willing to go paid if it means I can bring my old layouts over. Because I am just that pathetic. ::facepalm::
As long as the source is public, you should be able to bring it over. I forget if that source is public though, right off hand.
Thank you. :)
You're more than welcome.
Thank you so much! I'm so in love with this layout! :)
As am I! Enjoy.
Thank you so, so much for this!
You're very welcome!
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so, so much!
You're welcome!
Sweet! Thank you! ^_^
You're welcome.
Question for you - hope you don't mind. ^_^

I've got smooth sailing set up and customized, but when I uploaded my custom mood icons (they're 102 x 67), they seem to be stretched. Any idea how I can fix this? (without having to resize the icons...)
First, go to http://www.insanejournal.com/manage/moodthemes.bml and click edit for the mood theme you're using. Make sure they're set to 102x67. Let me know if they are and I'll try to figure out if it's something in the layout.
They are indeed set to 102x67, and the display correctly on that edit page, so I think it is the layout. *scratches head*

(and thanks ^_^ )
When I look at your page, they're displaying at 102x67. Are they still displaying wrong for you?
...They look okay today, actually. Maybe it was just a glitch when I first set it up. ^_^; Thanks for checking.
omg thank you sooooo much! this was exactly what i needed to be able to import my custom LJ layout!

*loves*
I know I couldn't live without Smooth Sailing some days! Enjoy.
Awesome! :D As soon as I upgrade, I'm definitely taking advantage of this! :D
So glad that people want to use this!
Thanks!! You are, as ever, resplendent!
Thank you so much for this!
You rock my socks for this, you really really do! Taken and used most gratefully!
Oh thank you SO very much! I was just in a dither about not having Smooth Sailing over here. And I'm complete pants at CSS- so you have really, utterly made my day!
Thank youu for posting this here, this was my favourite layout over on LJ.
I'm usually not bad with codes but I can't bring up the Mixit or the Expressive code...

Do you think you could put them on a to-do list?

Pretty please?
Sam
When I get a chance, I can try and work on that.
I just can't seem to get this one added to my styles! Whenever I hit 'compile' it just keeps giving me all these errors. I did exactly what you instructed, just copy/pasting it into the input window, but it just keeps giving me these errors and I don't know what I need to do to fix it :/

A little help would be dandy!

*is a dolt*

Ooh, nevermind. I was doing something wrong. Got it now XD

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at here: http://angeldove.insanejournal.com. I've been wanting to ask someone about this "Smooth Sailing" theme here on InsaneJournal but NOBODY could help me until I've found YOU!!!!!!!!!!! That layout I've found from layouts_by_me on Livejournal. And I love love love that layout but couldn't embed here on InsaneJournal because it NEEDS "Smooth Sailing" theme. Anyway, I'm excited about this. I'm going to tell all my friends about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One question though, notice on the LEFT corner, my default icon appears? How can I DELETE that?

Anyway, I really need to go. Karate class...you know...running out of time. But I am worshipping the ground you're walking now because THIS is just awesome. I can now embed all of my favorite layouts from that layouts_by_me community. Anyhoo, gotta go!!!!!!! Happy New Year to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can remove the icon using css.

On your css file, where it says this:

.header-icon {position: absolute;z-index: 1;}

Change it to this:

.header-icon {position: absolute;z-index: 1; display: none;}

Re: GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you...thank you...thank you....IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I took one of your "button" and put it on my User Info.
I'm PROMOTING your community!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad it worked, and thanks for the promotion!!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I love Smooth Sailing and was severely missing it here!
I keep getting errors, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!

This is the error message I'm getting ...

Thank you for snagging the layout layer! ♥
I think I'm addicted to it, too O.o
InsaneJournal soooooo needs to make Smooth Sailing available as a standard!
Thank you! I love Smooth Sailing and was trying to get something that is remotely similar here at IJ. This is so much better!!!
Hi, I've been trying to find someone to help me and I stumbled across you, and I think I've come to the right place.
I have smooth sailing on my IJ but when I try to put a header image on it, it won't work. I know how to do it with LJ, they have that handy CSS box. Could you please explain in *Blonde* directions on how to do this. I would be so very grateful.
Thank you,
Dixiebell
Thank you for this! ♥
Added - thanks so much for the instructions!
