(no subject)

Okay, this isn't really any "getting started" stuff, but I thought I could still ask about this here (or is there some other community that'd be better suited for this?)

I was very happy to find out you actually can import flexible squares journal style to dreamwidth, as my journal on LJ was built on that, and I wanted to make my DW similar. I did it, seemingly without trouble, but there are a few things that didn't quite work out:

1) people's names don't show on the reading page. They should, of course, appear under the icons, but there's nothing. It's a bit too much work to memorize everyone's icons to know who they are (well, of course I see who they are when I hover the mouse over the icon, but still. Not very handy.)

2) the subjects don't work as links to the posts

3) there's too much stuff in the header box - and, as this is DW and not LJ, I'd rather it said circle and not friends, but I simply can't figure out where to change that...

Can anyone help? I'm kinda clueless with these things... Number 1 is the only real problem here, the others don't matter that much.

I'm not great with layouts - I can only do simple changes but had a quick look at the codes, it looks like the code linked in the comments will do subject lines - the relevant area seems to be under

# Date, time, subject

but you might be better just swapping the entire source code.

Ahhh! I see why the usernames don't show up on your friends page

In the linked in comments source code, the views it appears on are:



# Poster

if ($p.view == "read" or $p.view == "network" or $p.view == "entry" or $p.view == "reply")


But in the source code you linked, it's set to:
if ($p.view == "friends" or $p.view == "entry")

That's declaring what pages, it will allow the usernames to appear (so your index doesn't display your own username).
But DW has reading pages not friends.
