Tagsand currents

[aldro]

I would like to remove the text of "Tags", "Current Mood", "Current Location" etc. I tried removing the text through the customization wizard, but it still shows a colon. I'd like to remove that as well, so that only the tiny icon for the tags and currents shows. How do I edit that?

You could try this:

.currents strong, .currentmood strong, .currentmusic .currentlocation, .ljtags strong
{display:none;}

.ljtags {visibility: hidden;padding-left:0!important; margin-left: -2.8em!important;}

.ljtags a {visibility: visible!important; position: relative;}

Can't say how it works in IE, but it does work in Firefox 3.6.10.

edit...but it will hide your tag image. I checked your source and you have just one class for entry tags (.ljtags/ljtags a) and you can use it to hide the text, but doing so will also hide the image.

I started thinking how Dee ever got it to work on my layout, but it turns out it's because she's using a style with more markup, so my source code has classes like tag (which you can use to add the tag image) and tag-text (which you can use to hide the word "Tags" or "Tagged", while still displaying that image).

So short of using a style with more markup where you need it, or buying an account and making your own custom theme layer, I'm not sure what the answer is to get it exactly how you want.

Aha. Well, in that case I have another question... I've decided to change my layout, because I couldn't edit the things I wanted to with the previous one.

How do I go about adding tiny images to my currents? And is it possible with this new source code, to remove the current's text without removing the images as well?

I apologize for spamming this comm. with all my noob-like questions... *blushes*

"And is it possible with this new source code, to remove the current's text without removing the images as well?"

Nope. So there's little point to answering your first question if the answer to your second question is it can't be done.

The problem is you need to get out of Core1 and the LJ styles you're using with it that have been adapted to work on DW. A Core2 DW-specific default style like Transmogrified will give you a lot more markup and a lot more flexibility to do whatever you want with your CSS.

In the case of the style you're using right now, the markup gives you just one choice for styling tags, entryMetadata-label/entryMetadata-label a. You can certainly attach an image to that, but if you remove the text, you remove the image as well.

There is no way to hide and unhide the text and image, respectively, with the visibility or display arguments when you don't have more than one class of CSS to work with in the first place. At least, there's no way to do that that I know of.

You can do just about anything with Transmogrified with a free account, without installing a custom theme layer, so if I were you, I would look into using it or other more flexible Core2 styles for free users.
