Moving tags to before entry text

[aidadesigns]

Hello all, I have a question about metadata and tags in Tabula Rasa brought on by trying out a brand new layout called Motion.

I see that someone's already asked about moving tags and mood to the top of the entries in Tabula Rasa, but there were no answers then (this was 2009). I am hoping someone will know the answer now.

I managed to move mood to the top by using the option in the Presentation section of Customize style (Place of metadata in entries = Before entry text), but I can't find how to do the same with tags. Can someone advise me how?

The layout I'm using also had .page-read .poster located below userpic, but it would break the entry text and its background would stretch all the way to the right side of the entry. It is possible to move it up by removing float:left, width:100% properties, but that doesn't align it with the left side of entries, and it overlaps it with mood. Is it possible to flush it all the way to the left, so that it sits above the userpic?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

As far as moving metadata (mood, music, etc. and not including tags as far as I know). There's an option in Tabula Rasa that's built in on http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options under Additional Options. It reads:

Place of metadata in entries:

With the options of: Before Entry Text or After Entry Text

Moving the tags to the top is /possible/ to do with css, but it would be really kludgy. If you're willing to mess around with S2 layers, it would be a lot surer to actually put the line of code that says "generate tags here" in a different place within the entry-generating function. Not sure if you want to try that?

For .poster, it might actually be easiest to absolutely position it. If you give that container "position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0;" that should slot it in fairly neatly above the userpic. Give .contents "position:relative;" to make sure .poster is contained properly. You might then have to give .metadata a left margin, but I can't say for sure yet how that will stack up once .poster is taken out of the float equation. Currently you have two floated elements plus one unfloated one all stacking up on top of each other.
