Can't declare usage of non-existent property?

[darlas_mom]

New person here, trying to edit a theme layer. Anybody have any clue what to do about this?

Compile error: line 14, column 5: Can't declare usage of non-existent property
S2::NodeProperty, S2/NodeProperty.pm, 90
S2::NodePropGroup, S2/NodePropGroup.pm, 77
S2::Checker, S2/Checker.pm, 374
S2::Compiler, S2/Compiler.pm, 34

Full disclosure: I don't know how to fix this or if it even can be fixed, I'm very new at this and mostly just following a tutorial on how to create theme layers.

That's a good hint--where is the tutorial you're working from?

I think it might work if you change that line 14 from:

property use view_entry_disabled;

to:

property use use_journalstyle_entry_page;

That worked! ...only now it's freaking out at me about line 15. ::facepalms:: Is it possible that every line of code is going to error out?

The tutorial I'm using is here: http://layouttree.dreamwidth.org/736.html

But the code I'm using comes from here: http://www.livejournal.com/customize/advanced/layersource.bml?id=4472558

Ah, that's your problem. I bet you're trying to use a core1 style with core2 base. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLY COMPLICATED DO NOT WORRY.

Go here:

http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layers

*Create top-level layer

* Layout, using core version 1 and then click create

The rest is pretty much the same I think.

...nope, the error is back. ::sigh:: Thanks, anyway. :-/

With the changes I suggested or without? You should use the plain version you originally had with those instructions, sorry if I was unclear!

I tried the original way first, and the error returned. Then I tried the change you had earlier, and the error came back for the next line. :-/
