Missing links?

[jadehunter]

Hi,

I've recently imported the Flexible Squares style from LJ with some help from some truly amazing tutorials, but I've found myself with an issue that I can't seem to find an answer for on my own.

Basically, this is how a typical post looks to me on LJ. There are three links on the left bottom corner of the post, one to edit the post, one to edit tags, and one to add to memories.

And this is the same post on DW. There are no links here at the bottom left corner.

Can anyone tell me how I can get the 'edit post', 'edit tags', and 'add to memories' links to show up on my DW posts like they do on LJ posts?

Thank you.

ETA: SOLVED

Can you link to the tutorials you used? I might be able to help if I saw what you were using.

This is the one I used.

Are you using a custom theme layer on LJ to get those links?

I am using a custom theme layer on LJ, so it might be written there, but I'm completely clueless about these kinds of things. It was 7 years ago when I made that custom theme layer, and that was only following the instructions of a tutorial that is now lost to the sands of time.

Uh...let's see, when I access my custom theme layer, this is what it says regarding the comment section:

< div class="entry">
$e.text """;

# Currents

var string currents ="";
$e->print_metadata();

# Comments

"""
< div class="clear"> < /div>
< div class="comments">""";
var Link edit;
var Link mem; var Link tags;
if ($p.view != "entry" or $p.view != "reply")
{
$edit = $e->get_link("edit_entry");
$mem = $e->get_link("mem_add");
$tags = $e->get_link("edit_tags");
"""< div class="leftlinks">""";
if (defined $edit )
{
print """< a href="$edit.url">$*text_edit< /a> | """;
}
print """< a href="$tags.url">edit tags< /a> | """;

print """< a href="$mem.url">$*text_memories< /a>""";
"< /div>";
if ($p.view != "entry" or $p.view != "reply")
{
$e.comments->print();
}
elseif ($e.comments.enabled)
{
$e.comments->print_postlink();
}
else
{
" ";
}
"""
< /div>
< /div>
< /div>

I couldn't get this code to work, but I did find a tutorial on how to add extra links to the comment bar, which does include an option to align some of them to the left like how they are on your livejournal layout.

Thanks for the link to the tutorial! The code there didn't work, but the details they gave on what to replace gave me the idea to go to my LJ theme layer and look in that section. I copied and pasted from that, and it worked!

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi... and sorry for that really late comment. Well, I've just recently moved here from LJ, too, and I'm struggling with the same problem here. I've been using the tutorial mentioned in the comment above yours on LJ just fine, but I've spent ages trying to tweak it for my imported layout here and can't get it to work. Would you mind sharing the code you worked out?

I'd be really grateful for any help here.

Edit: Nevermind, I custom coded a table that works just fine. It's not the most elegant solution, but it looks exactly like I wanted it to. Sorry for bothering you!
