[SOLVED] Updating old LJ-sourced custom styles with the crosspost link

[rosefox]

I have a custom style I ported over from LJ. I'd like to update it to show crosspost links. Is there a crosspost link equivalent to $.metadata{"mood"} in the below code? Or is there somewhere else I should be looking for it?


if ($.metadata{"mood"}!="") { """<li><span class="entryMetadata-label">$*text_meta_mood:</span><span class="entryMetadata-content">"""; print $.metadata{"mood"}+$.mood_icon; """</span></li><br />"""; }


Many thanks for any assistance!

EDIT: Found it: "xpost". Now hacking away at my style.

i'm also interestd in this - are you saying i just replace "mood" in that string with "xpost" and plug it into the custom layer code?

I'm pretty sure that's what I did, yes.

looking at your DW it looks like you were able to rename the link to the tags page in the menu bar - how did you figure out the correct property name? i've tried a few different things, and they all throw a compile error.

I have it in a couple of places:

set text_view_tags = "classifications";
set text_sidebox_tags_title = "classifications";

But for the top menu, I just hardcoded it:

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 = $this->lay_get_next_title();
print ($prev_link==""?"":"<li><a href=\"$prev_link\">$prev_title</a></li>");
print ($next_link==""?"":"<li><a href=\"$next_link\">$next_title</a></li>");

# Standard Journal Pages (Recent, Archive, Friends, Userinfo)
"""<li><a href="http://rosefox.dreamwidth.org/">fresh cuttings</a></li><li><a href="http://rosefox.dreamwidth.org/calendar">growing cycle</a></li><li><a href="http://rosefox.dreamwidth.org/read">other gardeners</a></li><li><a href="http://rosefox.dreamwidth.org/tag">classifications</a></li><li><a href="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/memories.bml?user=rosefox">pressed flowers</a></li><li><a href="http://rosefox.dreamwidth.org/profile">genus</a></li><li><a href="http://rosejasperfox.com">RoseJasperFox.com</a></li>""";

Sorry for like a zillion comments. Apparently once one turns "don't autoformat" on one cannot turn it off again. *files a bug report*

[faith_girl222]

when i plug "set text_view_tags = "[name]";" in it gives a compile error.

i've gone in and hardcoded the menu, but the auto-generated "tags" link keeps showing up anyway.

thanks! and i am happy to receieve a zillion eroneous comments if it helps me fix this :)
