Metadata and tags to the side of mood theme image.

[ex_awakened208]

Edit: Fixed the theme layer code and the CSS code now!

Not sure how many people have noticed, but a while back I discovered that this code to make metadata and tags float around mood theme images wasn't working correctly. I didn't know where to begin to fix it at the time but I attempted to tinker with today and apparently fixed it!

This goes into the theme layer:

##=============================== ##Moodtheme image on left by mmmag (http://style-system.dreamwidth.org/15122.html?thread=88594) + add tags to the metadata, thanks to Afuna's awesome (#dreamwidth) ##=============================== function Entry::print_metadata() { # ---------------------------------------------------- CUSTOMIZATION ---------------------------------------------------- # var bool show_loc_link = false; # set to true to display the Google Map link var bool show_groups_link = true; # set to true to display the custom friends group link var bool show_music_link = true; # set to false to hide the last.fm link to the artist/song pages var bool print_table = true; # set to false to display the mood icon inline with the mood text (default FS style) var string alignment = "left"; # set the side of the mood icon (left or right of the currents) - only if printed in table # set the order in which you want mood, music, location, tags, security and custom friends group to appear # any metadata you want to hide journalwide, delete from this list var string[] metaorder = ["mood", "music", "groups", "location" ]; # optional: # put in the URLs to the pics you want to use instead of the currents' text labels # if you leave it blank, the text label will be used instead var string{} metapics = { "mood" => "IMAGE URL", "music" => "IMAGE URL", "location" => "IMAGE URL", "groups" => "IMAGE URL" }; # ---------------------------------------------------- CUSTOMIZATION END ---------------------------------------------------- # var string currents = """<div class="metadata">\n""";# here all metadata will be added to print currents container # display mood and moodicon? var bool display_mood = false; foreach var string moodtest ($metaorder) { if ($moodtest == "mood") { $display_mood = true; } } # table and mood icon if (defined $.mood_icon and $display_mood and $print_table) { $currents = ($alignment == "left") ? $currents + """<table border="0"><tr><td width="$.mood_icon.width"><img src="$.mood_icon.url" width="$.mood_icon.width" height="$.mood_icon.height" alt="$.metadata{"mood"}" title="$.metadata{"mood"}" /></td><td>""" : $currents + """<table border="0"><tr><td>"""; } # step through metadata in the order the user wants foreach var string k ($metaorder) { var string text; # the actual value of the metadata var string label; # the label of the metadata as set in the wizard or set-statements # handling all other metadata if ($k != "" and $.metadata{$k} != "") { # metadata value $text = $.metadata{$k}; # label as image or text $label = clean_url($metapics{$k}) != "" ?

The code above has places to change the metadata label text to your own custom images. If you would also like to change the tag label text to a custom image, put this in your Custom CSS box:

.tag-text { display: none; } .tag ul:before { content: url('IMAGE URL'); }

If anyone has any problems with the above codes, I'll try to do what I can to help. Fair warning: while I do know some CSS, I'm not that good with layer editing.
