[personal profile] london_fan posting in [community profile] style_system
Hello lovely and helpful people here,

ever since I started using a genuine Dreamwidth layout I've been using this tutorial from [community profile] style_system to display the metadata with the mood theme picture on the left side of the metadata, including the tags. The code is working perfectly in general!

However, I recently noticed that there is an issue if no mood theme picture is chosen. I posted two (temporarily public) test entries on my journal [personal profile] london_fan to show you the problem:
  1. If the entry poster doesn't use a mood theme picture, the whole metadata block will display twice.
  2. The tags will only be displayed once in the first block, though.
  3. Setting a custom mood without a picture still results in this messed up display, so the problem must be related to the lack of a mood theme picture.
  4. As soon as there's a mood theme picture chosen, there are no issues at all!


Since the original tutorial is more than ten years old, I suspect that there might have been some changes to the source code in the meantime? Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to fix it? Any help would be highly appreciated!

ADDENDUM (20th November 2022):
Since I got no comments here so far, I tried something else and implemented some old LJ tutorial and matching CSS I have used there for many years. It works perfectly on Dreamwidth, but eliminates Dreamwidth's unique tags navigation feature. Since this workaround is okay for my needs, I will consider the problem solved. However, if anyone still wants to tackle and fix this issue here with the DW tutorial, I'd still appreciate it. Thank you!
