OK, the Expressive for Scrapbook layer is now in a state where is is useable, I believe. Under the cut is instructions on how to use it. Any and all comments, requests for features, bug reports or, well, anything related to the style, comment here. If LJ wants to nick this for the site, feel free :) You can find the layer code at http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/advanced/layerbrowse?id=66432. S2 people, do you think this would be suitable for general S2 communities as there don't seem to be any Scrapbook specific ones?
Using this method, you should get any updates I make to the layer automatically, which'll be nice :)
- Go to http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/advanced/ and, in the Create Style text box, enter a name and click Create
- On the resulting page, ignore the box for Language. In the box for Layout, select [other]. In the text box which should now appear, enter 66432. Click save changes.
- Now go to http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/. You should see your newly created style. Click on the Edit link
- On this page, DO NOT touch anything in the style settings bit, even though you'll see the wrong layer name here. It's a bug. As long as you don't save style settings you'll be fine. Instead, click the Customize (or Edit if you already have customizations) button in the Customize section
- You're now in the customization wizard. Customize to your hearts content, including choosing your theme (much easier for me to do that this way rather than in theme layers).
- To actually use the thing on your Scrapbook, go to http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/ and click the radio button next to the name of the style you created
Using this method, you should get any updates I make to the layer automatically, which'll be nice :)

Date: September 21st, 2006 10:03 am (UTC)From:Any other quibbles are really livejournal's fault, I think -- it would be great if there was a handy "upload" (or manage?) link on the home page of your galleries -- and it would be great if your pictures were atomatically in the main navigation on your journal page ( instead of "Recent Entries - Archive - Friends - User - Info - Memories" , "Recent Entries - Archive - Friends - User - Info - Memories* - Pictures" ) -- and it'd be great if the navigation strip was there on scrapbook pages, but I wasn't getting any of that from scrapbook anyway ...
P.S. I love my blurb boxes! Any chance you could step me through how to put them on my main blog page?
P.P.S. I want to pimp this on my journal, may I?

Date: September 25th, 2006 02:09 pm (UTC)From:It's kind of hard to test it when I only have limited sets of data and it's hard to upload new pics and galleries just to test out my theory, but it seems like the only problem (that I've seen) is with galleries that have no pictures and 4+ subgalleries. When I click on those in my pictures, it tries to load for a long time before finally just rendering a blank white page and stopping. I tried switching back to the previous style and the gallery loaded up immediately with no problem, so I guess it's related to the style somehow?
Overall, though, great job. This is really neat.

Question - what about doing this for a community's scrapbook? any ideas?

Date: September 27th, 2006 12:13 am (UTC)From:The thing I don't know how to fix is the sidebars. I use two sidebars on either side of the content, but for whatever reason, no matter to how I order the boxes, I end up with three items on the left. I want two and two, so I put the one sidebar's items as first and second, and put the stuff for the other sidebar as fourth and fifth, putting none as the third item, and still items 1, 2, and 4 end up on the left, and 5 on the right. Is there any way to get better control on what ends up where in the two column layouts, and even better, the ability to move the powered by sidebar item?
The other thing that bothered me, but I fixed with the links in the sidebar, is there isn't any upward navigation from within the first level galleries, I don't see anything that'll bring me back to the top, so I just added that to the sidebar links list in addition to a listing of all my galleries (will be annoying for people who can't see some of the galleries due to protection, but oh well). Is there any way to get something like that into the style so that it can only show the galleries that a person is authorized to view, and even better, maybe list sub-galleries when viewing a particular gallery?
PS, your journal style looks cool, only one thing, you didn't set a page background color. Given the graphics, it looks like it's intended to be white, but leaving it to browser default makes it light purple for me. Should be a quick fix if you care to make it. :)

In the Expressive there are separators (at least in the Weston Blue theme). Apparently the separators are added with CSS (possibly? I didn't check), and the links have different classes: the first link has a class .first and .item, the rest just .item. In your layouts all of the links have .first and .item, not just the first.
Er, do I make sense?

Loading for some and not for others
