Moving my user icon

May. 2nd, 2007 at 12:16 AM

Okay, this is most probably just me being really stupid but bear with me :)

My user icon in my entries is aligned to the right but it appears UNDER where the title/date finish. I'd prefer the icon to appear on the right dead opposite the entry title/date and then have the actual entry text appear underneath them.

I took a screen shot to help - I know what I'm like with explaining:

Oh and is it possible to centre the entry footer links (comment, add to memories etc)? They are really annoying when they are left aligned :/

Any ideas?

Well, yes, both are possible, but for both you'd have to alter the print_entry() function to 1) re-structure the <DIV>s that print the user icon, and 2) put the linkbar into its own <DIV>s element so it can be styled separately.
If you don't mind waiting a day or two, I was planning a comprehensive "How To" post on several nifty ways of modifying that function.

It's this post, the second tutorial, but it can't be done properly with just CSS. And if you want the icon on the left, where would you put the entry titles?

yes i was looking at that but since i do not have a layer of my own, i couldnt do it. so i guess there is no simple css code for that? :/

i want my entry header to look like this:

If there is a CSS method, I haven't found it yet.

That's a Flexible Squares style, which prints the user icon in with the title by default. To do that with Expressive means re-writing the layer code to change how HTML is printed.
