Care to share your rules? I tried a blank (well, one space character) label on the left by cloning the markup that inputLabel() produces but got this:
Note the label intrudes into the right-hand column. No idea why.

Sure, this is what I use now (edit files panel):
.file-detail .posted-now { padding-left: calc(45% + 1em); }I will need to update that – generalise that – a little for future use. For Hive I think padding-left:50% might do, going by memory.

I’ve often wondered if the image file’s datestamp might be more useful as a default value rather than ‘now’. Same for Files, perhaps?
For images, it certainly will be better for most cases. For files, dunno really.
edit: spelling, auto-correct really.

Cool, thank you. This works in Hive:
@media screen {
...
.posted-now {
padding-left: 50%;
}
...
}
@media (max-width:47em) {
...
.posted-now {
padding-left: 0;
}
...
}If Phil’s okay with this, then he can stick it in the CSS. If he’d prefer an HTML solution, then I’m sure we can code it that way instead.

Re: Date Object associate to content to links
That is fine, except for the Write panel, which also has a .posted-now {} field in the side bar (*).
But anyway, something like that is fine, as far as I am concerned.
(*) with an every so slightly different markup…

Re: Date Object associate to content to links
Hmm, this selector would be better: .txp-edit .posted-now {}
That would only affect those Edit panels.

Re: Date Object associate to content to links
Yeah, I’ll leave selectors to those that know better. Your versions are better; mine were just for illustration.

Yes.
Or alternatively as a separate indent helper class in the css which is then added to the class list of the items that should push over into the second “column”.
AFAIR I think I added something similar for the field hint instructions in glz_custom_fields.

Cool. I’m easy with whichever method works and Phil is willing to support!

Yes. That would be ideal. Lacking that, I went with the above selector.

Indeed you did, and that is one case where the helper class would be very useful, as it would leave the actual values to the theme in use.

Is this something we could offer in core easily?

Core could have a helper class that can be used in those cases. For example, in the case discussed in this thread, you could add that helper class to the div class="posted-now", and Hive theme can then use that class to use the values given above. I suppose for Core it is just changing div class="posted-now" to div class="txp-form-field-foo posted-now" with txp-form-field-foo being the name of the helper class. Phil can then use that class in Hive .txp-form-field-foo { padding-left:50%;}. I leave the name up to Phil ~:)
And then Jacob could use the same class for his help text fields that are equally offset in the glz_custom_fields plugin, and not worry about the actual values.

@phiw13. Sounds like a winner to me. Thoughts, Phil?
