[solved] Tags aligned with mood

[ex_prettygoodyear337]

 I finally made the decision to move to Dreamwidth and managed to get everything set up the way I had it over at LJ which I liked. I did it with a lot of amazing help from people over here. 

There is, however, one thing I can't seem to get right, and that is the showing of tags on my entries.

On LJ it looked like this: 

Over here it looks like this: 

How can I get the tags show up like they did on LJ? The lovely people from lj_refugees pointed me to this place. I have to add that I got the mood icon + text to show the way it does by using codes for the theme layout, but I'm clueless how to make the tags appear there as well, somehow it works different here than on LJ when it concerns tags. Any help therefor it much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hrm, in order to debug this we're going to need a link to your LJ.

Your HTML is structured differently on your LJ and your current DW. Did you make a custom layer to import your LJ layout over here, or anything? Or did you just do a lot of style customizations on a DW layout? Right now, on your LJ your tags are inside the table in your .currents div, in another div called .currenttags. On your DW they're inside your .entry_text div, in another div called .ljtags. If you are using a custom layer you can edit the S2 to output the right html by moving what is generating the .ljtags div inside the table in .currents, right after .currentmood (which is still there), and renaming the class to .currenttags (assuming you are using the same CSS on both, it should apply the same way!).

If you need any help with S2 custom layer editing, maybe upload the code on pastebin and post a link here?

If my CSS on DW looked different to the LJ one, that could be because I did make some changes to try things out, none worked.

My steps were as followed when I came to DW: create a custom layer and at a custom made code for DW ==> Flexible Squares to it.

I also made a custom theme layer and added different, theme, code to it. I'm currently using the theme layout. I have no idea if I was required to create both, or not, but when I only use the custom layer a lot of alterations don't show up.

On LJ I got the mood code to work the way it did by customising the theme layer. I had to add some code to it. I also added the code on DW and it works, but not for the tags, they won't line up with the rest. On my css file the tags are set to not show, which is true for my DW account now as well, if I remove that bit of code, and add .currenttags, the tags show, but still above the mood icon.

Here are links to my theme layer and custom layer:

And this is the code I currently use on LJ:

Er, your theme layer from LJ seems to work fine. I temporarily applied it to my own DW and the tags show up on my DW as they do on your LJ. I'm guessing the problem is probably that there are a lot of settings at the top of your theme layer on LJ that you left off the version of the theme layer you are using on DW. I would say, just make an entirely new theme layer and paste in the code from your LJ theme layer. Then if there were further edits you had made to the version you were previously using on DW, apply those.

Well, it really was that simple! I have no idea why I made it more difficult than it was. Thanks a million!
