Re: excerpt position

You can probably fix the javascript by changing code like this:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.1.3.1.min.js"></script>

to be like this:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-1.1.3.1.min.js"></script>

Or, best of all, like this:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="<txp:site_url />js/jquery-1.1.3.1.min.js"></script>

Do this in every page (Presentation -> Pages) where you find such tags.

Re: excerpt position

Both solution worked jsoo!
Yeah, it would be great to have “Pagina” instead of “Page”.
I will work again to the blog tomorrow, i have another question about the excerpt (maybe a bit complicate so i have to write better english to succesfully explain myself)

Thank you a lot!

Re: excerpt position

In the “main” form, change this:

<txp:soo_page_count />

to this:

<txp:soo_page_count format="{prev} Pagina {current} di {total} {next}" />

and if that sounds right in Italian, I’ll see about adding it as a translation to soo_page_numbers (the plugin responsible for that tag, which happens to be one of mine).

Re: excerpt position

Ok, here’s the question:

In the home page each excerpt has a background

#left .post .postheader {background: url(images/postheader.jpg) no-repeat; height:10px;}
#left .post .postcontent {background:url(images/postbg.jpg) repeat-y; padding:10px 25px 10px 25px;}
#left .post .postbottom {background: url(images/postbottom.jpg) no-repeat; height:59px;}

Do you think is possible to have different images depending on the Section in which i wrote the article?

If article is in “Video” the excerpt would have green frame, if article is in “geek” would have blue frame and so on….

Is that possible?

Re: excerpt position

Yes. A simple way would be to add a class for the section. Like so, in the “frontpage” form:

<div class="postheader <txp:section />">

Re: excerpt position

I tried with
<div class=“postheader <txp:section />”>

in frontpage but nothing happened.

Don’t I have to modify the style sheet?
I tried to create a new one for “geek” section with green frame around the excerpt but i didn’t understand how to visualize in home page “geek” articles with green frame instead of red…

Maybe (for sure) i did something wrong or didn’t explain myself very well….. sorryyy!

Sorry, I was too terse. Yes, you then have to add the new classes (one for each section) to the stylesheet, and then declare style rules for them. Make sure you put the new style declarations after the ones for .postheader etc.

Re: excerpt position

I added after this:

#left .post .postheader {background: url(images/postheader.jpg) no-repeat; height:10px;}

#left .post .postcontent {background:url(images/postbg.jpg) repeat-y; padding:10px 25px 10px 25px;}

#left .post .postbottom {background: url(images/postbottom.jpg) no-repeat; height:59px;}

THIS LINE:

#left .post .geek {background: url(images/geekpostheader.jpg) no-repeat; height:10px;}

Result is: success as postheader is concerned… but what about postbg and postbottom ?
How can I make them change too?

In frontpage form do i have to add this:
<div class=“postcontent <txp:section />”>
and this:
<div class=“postbottom <txp:section />”>

??

Yes, exactly. Note that if you want different background images for the different parts, with the classes this way you’ll have to use multiple-class selectors such as:

.postheader.video { /* background rule here */ }
.postcontent.video { /* background rule here */ }
.postbottom.video { /* background rule here */ }

Re: excerpt position

yeah, I worked on it for some days and i’m very satisfied!
Your help was extremely helpfull, i owe you a pizza! (italian one)

I got one last question concerning the lavalamp…
the black “thing” is by default on “sommario” … if you jump to “musica” section (or another one) that black “thing” is always on “sommario”.
Is this possible to have that on the current section instead of “sommario” (the default one)?

Re: excerpt position

Something of a guess, but try this: in the form named “navigation”, change this:

active_class="current"

to this:

active_class="selectedLava"

Re: excerpt position

Well, see this.

Automatic Default Location
LavaLamp carefully compares the link in the client location bar to the a href within the li elements of the container jQuery LavaLamp was assigned and default the starting location of the hover element to the matching li element. This can be overridden in several ways: with the startItem option, by assigning a selectedLava class to a list item, or by using the Home element feature.

Forgot to check, do you have the latest version of lavalamp?
