Comments: Tea Time [side] has only a sidebar (and includes the sidebar on every page except the actually chapter pages) while Tea Time [top] has both sidebar and top menu (and the sidebar is only on the index page). Includes one image. There's a minor annoyance in IE with the footer section, but nothing that will interfere with site navigation or viewing.

This should be the same for all layouts. Please let me know if you find one that you can't apply this to.

1. Go to http://www.insanejournal.com/customize/.[fig 1]


2. Click on the 'Look and Feel' tab and choose your layout style and (None) as your theme and click the 'Save Changes' button at the bottom. [fig. 2]


3. Click on the 'Custom Options' tab, then the 'Custom CSS' link. [fig. 3]


4. Select 'No' for the 'Use layout's "Base Weblog" stylesheet, then paste in your stylesheet coding into the large text area marked 'Custom stylesheet' and click the 'Save Changes' button at the bottom. [fig. 4]

If you have any issues with the layout, please let me know.

First, the code you're going to have to put in your theme layer: {new stuff in red}

function Page::lay_print_sidebar () {
$this->lay_print_summary();
var string text = """<div class="columnitem">STUFF YOU WANT IN YOUR NEW BOX </div>""";
print_box("TITLE OF NEW BOX ", $text);
$this->print_linklist();
$this->lay_print_freetext();
$this->lay_print_calendar();
}

Of course, you can put these in any order you want. For example:

function Page::lay_print_sidebar () {
var string text = """<div class="columnitem">STUFF YOU WANT IN YOUR NEW BOX </div>""";
print_box("TITLE OF NEW BOX ", $text);
$this->lay_print_freetext();
$this->print_linklist();
$this->lay_print_freetext();
$this->lay_print_summary();
$this->lay_print_calendar();
}

Just a couple of overrides I find helpful for Opal:

( Removing background color from friend's usernames )

( Adding CSS )

I'll be working out how to add extra boxes and taglists soon.

Comments: I've never actually used this layout style. If there are any issues, please let me know and I'll try and work it out.

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 Nebula to choose from in your customization wizard.

First, you'll need to know how to create a theme layer. This will be the code you'd put in there:

If you have a 2 column layout, you first put this code in: ( Sidebar order for 2 column )

If you have a 3 column layout, then you'd first put this code in: ( Sidebar order for 3 column )

After you have put one of those codes in, and gotten all your modules in the order you want them [and taken out any you don't want in there], you then put in this code: ( Wherein you decide how many extra modules you want and what goes in them. )

( how to create a layout layer )

*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:

function Page::lay_print_header_links() { # Menu start """<div class="header-menu"><ul>"""; # Journal Navigation (Previous page, Next Page) var string prev_link = $this->lay_get_previous_url(); var string prev_title = $this->lay_get_previous_title(); var string next_link = $this->lay_get_next_url(); var string next_title = $this->lay_get_next_title(); print safe ($prev_link=="" ? "" : "<li><a href=\"$prev_link\">$prev_title</a></li>"); print safe ($next_link=="" ? "" : "<li><a href=\"$next_link\">$next_title</a></li>"); # Standard Journal Pages (Recent, Archive, Friends, Userinfo) foreach var string v ($.views_order) { if (lang_viewname($v)!="") { print "<li><a href=\""+$.view_url{$v}+"\">"+lang_viewname($v)+"</a></li>"; } } # Guestbook if (int($*layout_guestbook_entryid)!=0) { var string guestbook_url = "$*SITEROOT/users/$.journal.username/"+$*layout_guestbook_entryid+".html"; print safe """<li><a href="$guestbook_url">$*text_view_guestbook</a></li>"""; } """<li><a href="$*SITEROOT/tools/memories.bml?user=$.journal.username">Memories</a></li>"""; # Website from Userinfo page if ($*layout_menubar_website) { """<li><a href="$.journal.website_url">$.journal.website_name</a></li>"""; } # Menu end """</ul></div>"""; }

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>""";
