Annual problem with tag display

[sally_maria]

I'm sorry to bother you guys with this again, but I'm trying to have comma separated list of tags in my sidebar.

Last year changes in the code introduced an annoying extra space before the comma and marahmarie very kindly wrote me some CSS to fix the problem - see the entry here.

.module-tags_cloud .module-list-item { font-size: 12pt !important; }
.module-tags_cloud .module-list-item:after{content: ","!important; margin-left:-.2em!important;}
.module-tags_cloud .module-list-item:last-child:after { content: ""!important;}


I've recently switched layout to one of the new Strata themes and the code no longer works - there are no commas showing at all.

I tried reverting to the old version of the CSS

.module-tags_cloud .module-list-item { font-size: 12pt !important; }
.module-tags_cloud .module-list-item:after{content: ", "; }
.module-tags_cloud .module-list-item:last-child:after{content: " "; }

and the commas reappear, but still with the annoying extra space.

Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong and any suggestions about how to fix it? I tried changing the "margin-left" figure to .4 and it didn't seem to have any effect, but I don't really understand how that bit of the code is working, so it's hard to know how to change it.

Your new version is almost okay--I think it just has a couple wee syntax things that end up making it not work. Try this format for it:

.module-tags_cloud .module-list-item { font-size: 12pt !important; } .module-tags_cloud .module-list-item:after{content: "," !important; margin-left: -.1em! important; } .module-tags_cloud .module-list-item:last-child:after { content: "" !important; }</textare> (It works on my journal at least, except for some awkward annoying issues where wrapping is involved)

Thank you, that works. :-) As you say, there are a few annoying commas stranded on the next line, because of the wrapping, but it still looks a lot better than it did before.

If you do not mind messing around with S2 layers, I think it would not be too hard to add in actual commas, if you like.

That does sound like a lovely idea, and I'm quite happy to try it. Thank you.

I do have one other problem to sort out - the code I'm using to put icons on feed entries doesn't work quite right with this new layout - but it's less annoying than the absent commas.
