Adlina

Blurb

parapsychic is another journal of Adlina. She is not entirely sure where her DW is heading, but she wants it to bloom into something she can look back with a good laugh, or maybe just a smile - when's she's older. The original is to let Parapsychic be her artistic journal, because in fandom world, her circle is Parapsychic.

Importing Flexible Squares journal style to Dreamwidth

I am so happy that I could port Flexible Squares over from Livejournal! This calls for better layout customisation options. I haven't been trying to improve my XHTML/CSS skills for a while, so let's just say that I kind of suck in this area. The only one I can customise well is probably FS and FS alone. Shame on me, I know.

But hey, I'm not a coder. I'm an English teacher in the making.

It's easy to port Flexible Squares to DW.

Select Journal Style > Developer Area > Your Layers
Create top-level layer. Type: Layout. Core Version: 1 > Create
Your Layers > Livejournal S2 Core, v1 > Edit
Paste this source code
Save and compile
Flexible Squares should be ready to choose from journal style selection~

I've been testing out some styles made by refuted graphics over at LJ. They all work great with FS on DW.

At the moment, this DW is using the exact same layout as my LJ. I'll go and have fun with new DW layouts now!

I do have a question, however. Not sure if you'd be able to answer. But the code works wonderfully on my regular page. Reading page, however... nooooot so much. Not sure if it's an issue with the layout itself or with the code. Mind taking a look?

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love having my LJ layout here at DW!

greerwatson on November 6th, 2012 12:22 pm (UTC)

Thank you! I really didn't care for any of the DW styles I saw, even when I'd changed the colours. Then I thought to google, and found this. Worked a dream! It's so nice to have things looking "right" again.

Wow, thanks. I didn't realize how much we could do with Dreamwidth until this tutorial!

Thanks for this! I was wondering how to do it!

Amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you very much for this! It didn't even cross my mind that something like this would be possible before I came across this. Everything didn't work out without glitch for me though - for one thing, people's names didn't appear on the reading page (just the icons), and the subject lines didn't work as links to the posts (which isn't a big deal, really.) Then I found this, a bit different source code for flexible squares, and it fixed those probs. But I wouldn't have come to look for it without this post, so thanks again!

It's not working for me and you need to replace the photo links for the layout it's tinypic icons now =(

I feel like an idiot. I got it to import Flexible Squares per your instructions, but I can't import OTHER designs from Flexible Square designers.

HELP ANYONE???
