Subtitles in Transmogrified

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to get the Transmogrified theme to display the journal subtitle? I've been looking and looking for CSS that would do this, since I figured it'd be relatively simple, but apparently not? I would appreciate any help that is offered. Thanks so much!

Oh wow, everybody is fast. The theme layer should be a bit like this:

layerinfo "type" = "theme";
layerinfo "name" = "Transmogrified Subtitled";

function Page::print()
{
    """
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>""";
        $this->print_head();
        $this->print_stylesheets();
        $this->print_head_title();    
    println "</head>";
    $this->print_wrapper_start();
    $this->print_control_strip();
    """
            <div id="container">
            <div id="header">
    """;
    """
                <a name="top">
    """;
    $this->print_global_title();
    $this->print_global_subtitle();
    """
                </a>
            </div>
    """;
    $this->print_module_section("one");
    """
            <div id="wrap">
            <div id="content">
    """;
    $this->print_body();
    """
            </div>
    """;
    $this->print_module_section("two"); 
    """
            </div><div style="clear:both;"></div>
        </div>
        <div id="footer">
    """;
    $this->print_module_section("three");
    """
        </div>
    """;
    $this->print_wrapper_end();
    """
    </html>
    """;
}

Or is it better in a user layer?

Thanks for the enormously speedy response, everyone!

To

firefoxfey: I should be the one asking you to be patient with me. ;) I have never worked with custom layers before and I'm afraid I don't really know how to go about starting. Do I just create a new layer and paste this information in?

I think

branchandroot has the instructions about creating new layers. You can use mine as a complete copy paste, and then come back when it's created and I'll see if I can't give instructions on hooking it up to your current theme.

Unfortunately, I already sort of jumped the gun, applied the layer, and then belatedly realized that would remove my custom theme. I've managed to get it back though, without too much hassle, but thanks for your offer!

If you already have a custom theme, you can just add the function in the one I gave to your current one!

You know, that's a good question. I've always used a theme layer for it; I don't know whether a user layer will let you change this stuff!

I have no clue myself--I think it might not, but I haven't tried yet. I *think* theme layer is the proper place.

I'm fairly sure theme is the right place. As I recall (though I can't find documentation at the moment), you simply can't put functions into a User layer.

You can definitely put functions in a user layer, but it's a bad idea, as it would get rewritten the next time you use the wizard to modify something.

It's always better to put it in a theme layer, because the next time you modify something using the wizard, the user layer is rewritten, losing all your modifications :)

Is there a good guide to this stuff? I really should get caught up, since I'm doing some styles work.

Nothing official, alas. The S2 documentation is pathetic right now, though I know it's one of the goals of the Dreamwidth style team. That said,

kentucka has done some great basic tutorials.
