Had a pretty good day today - didn't do much of anything and then went out for tea with my family to a place with tasty food and raspberry mojito aperitifs. Presents were a bit slim pickings because I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted, but that was sort of as expected. (My dad of course took this as a cue to fill in the gap between a couple of books, a Vogue as something to unwrap and my brother's mostly-a-joke tenner with a phenomenally inappropriate and most definitely unsolicited ring - o hai, I don't even like jewellery, do you even know me at all? - which can hopefully either be returned or given over to my mum's custody. Mum and I are going on holiday for a few days next week, which is basically my present, but I'll probably be able to call in a few bits and bobs as they turn up...) Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

However! I also have actual content! I finally got round to making a DW crosspost footer (ta daa, she says, hoping it appears) and I'm struck by the rather fanatical belief that it should be possible to produce one that appears on DW as well about LJ - or at least provides a link to the LJ version of the post. There's clearly a connection made somewhere between the posts on the two platforms, because otherwise how would DW route edits after posts have been posted? But I have no idea where that information would be stored, how to access it and how to print it. I assume you could do something in the S2 customisation to the print_entry function, but it's been years since I messed around with S2 and I don't even have a paid account anywhere, so it may well have to be a pipe dream. Just thought I'd mention it because it was in my head, and in case anyone with a far higher proficiency in all things DW knows a dead simple way of doing it.

From: [personal profile] foxfirefey
Hi! I found this on the latest page and I just wanted to let you know that the thing you describe is a bug that's on the way--that is, somebody's actually coded up a proposed implementation for it, and it's awaiting review so it can be added into the code base. The current implementation is described as:
So by default this is turned off. You can go into your external account
configuration and select 'Display Cross Post Links'. Once you've selected
that, then all crossposts to that account will get added to the xpostdetail
info. Links that are in the xpostdetail will show up as properties in the S2
display of the post.

The link saving is sticky at the time of crosspost. So if you enable this for
an account, then the links for that account will only show up for newly
crossposted (or newly edited) entries. So if you want to get the xpost links
to show up for an old post, you'll need to go back and edit those entries.
Similarly, if you want to remove the link display for an entry, you'll need to
uncheck the 'Displa Cross Post Links' option and then go back and edit the
post. That should clear out the url.

The links themselves are just shown in a section labelled 'Crossposts'.
They're active links, but the text is just the actual urls themselves. There
could probably be some improvement in this area.


It may change a little after review, but this should give you an idea of what to expect in the future!

Well, nobody needs to be a full-on DW evangelist. Just having your own niche over here that you enjoy is enough! I'm really glad that you've found things over here that you like. I don't know if the crossposting will be in the next release, since the BIG MAIN PRIORITY is getting payments back up and there might not be a complete review/commit of all waiting bugs before then, but maybe in the release after that!

I wrote an entire guide on being a filthy, seditious Dreamwidth supporter, and disabling comments is not on that list! Nor is telling people to come here, even! I myself do not disable comments--I have people on LJ that I enjoy and like that wouldn't do well commenting on Dreamwidth--but I do have a crosspost footer so that people can easily see what other comments I'm getting on the DW version of a post.

Oh oh oh--and I should mention since your post talks about it, free accounts here can edit one of each layer. Not that you probably want to dig into S2, but YOU COULD IF YOU WANTED TO GIVE YOURSELF THAT HEADACHE.

If it'll help any, the main style comms are:

* [site community profile] dw_styles -- official-minded styles business, but open for posting
* [site community profile] dreamscapes -- place to submit styles for official consideration
* [community profile] style_system -- for people needing help and whatnot
* [community profile] stylemakers -- resources for people making layouts
* [community profile] dreamwidthlayouts -- a place for people to share layouts

So, if you have questions about the ZOMG REVAMPED CORE2, [community profile] style_system could probably help. The source to it is here:

http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layersource?id=550&fmt=html

The new S2 core2 at Dreamwidth has modules built in, for instance.

There are some notes on the default CSS classes for S2's main base, Tabula Rasa, here:

http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/S2_CSS

And most of them are applicable to the other styles, too (which is what lets my expand/collapse/hide Greasemonkey work).

Happy birthday!

And what's the code just to get the "X comments on Dreamwidth" to show up on LJ?

Go to the "Other Sites" tab under Organize/Manage Account. Down near the bottom, they've got a bunch of options to play with. :)

Here's the code I use (you can see what it looks like at [livejournal.com profile] stultiloquentia):
