#theme19ask

[raiidens]

Hello! I've been looking around everywhere for an answer but haven't found any yet. I'm using theme #19 (love it btw) and want to do two things: #1, make the "content" tab lead to the homepage of the blog only; #2, add another tab that, like the "content" tab, opens in the blog itself rather than opening in a new window (I want to use this to add an "art" tab so people can browse my art in the same window). Are these things possible? Especially interested in #2. Thank you!

Hi!

For the first thing, I'm guessing you want the content link to do what the home link does? I suppose you can just rename them. Look for these two lines:

<a href="/"><div class="link" id="home-link">home</div></a>

<div class="link link-selected" id="content-link" data-id="content">content</div>

The first line is the home link and the second line is the content link. You can rename them by changing the word before the </div> (and right after the >) on both lines. You can also just remove the whole second line if you don't like how that content link works.

And for the second thing, that'd be a pretty difficult thing to code unfortunately, no easy fix for that. You can use these to add a link to the navigation:

and then put /tagged/ARTTAGHERE in the URL, but there's not an easy way to have it come up like the content link does it unfortunately.

hi! i am using theme 19 and wondering about how to change the avatar shape into, like, transparent (i.e. it's in a heart shape, and i don't want a circle shape around it)? thank you

Hi, this should be pretty simple actually. If you go under .dp { and get rid of the border-radius line. It should let the heart shape work out nicely.

Hi raiidens, thank you for making these themes! I'm currently using #19. I've edited most of it on my own (although I have a HUGE mental block about CSS) but the only thing I can't figure out is the "Content" link that is in the navigation window. What does it do and/or can I remove it?

Hi, you’re very welcome! The content button just shows your posts, so when you click on something like message and you wanna go back to the posts, you just click on the content button and you’re there. I don’t recommend getting rid of it cause that means you’d have to refresh the page to go back to the posts.

Hey, im using theme 19 and i cant get the messages to work? ive put my blog name where it states but when i test it all i get is an error page? do you have any fixes for this, please?

Hi anon, to have asks to work you have to put in your blog username where it says to in the code and make sure you have your asks switched on. If those are both done then it should be working fine. If not then send me a link to your blog and I can check it out for you.

currently using and loving theme 19, searched under the notes, description, any relevant tag, and google, but for some reason i can't figure out what a tab is supposed to do. i know it's not the same as a link, but what is it and how do i use it?

If you look at the theme preview, there’s a couple links at the top named “Tab 2″ and “Tab 3″, clicking on those will have your posts disappear and have a new little block enter in its place. I just happened to call those things tabs, there’s probably a better name I could’ve given them, but I couldn’t think of anything. It’s just an option to have if you like the effect.

hi can you please share the coding you used for the logo on your theme (19)?

Hi, I don’t think I’ll be able to do that cause it is a bit of a complicated fix to explain, but since this has been previously asked about a few times, I can patch it in as an option. I’ll try to have an update this week or so.

hey!! i'm using your theme #19, and for some reason, i couldn't find the

function in the html. i'm not completely familiar with html, but is there an alternative to the in theme #19? thank you!!

Hi there, that’s just cause I have extra things in the body tag but it is there! Try looking for instead, without the last bracket, and then you should be able to find it then!

hey! i love your theme 19! however, the sidebar shows up the same place that is inconvenient, as it's right in the middle of my blog title. i've tried moving in the customizing place, in the actual blog, and refreshing, but it always goes back to that same place. how can i move it where i want to, or have it fixed in one place despite the scrolling like your blog? thank you so much!! <3

Hi, anon. If your theme isn’t working correctly and looking like the theme preview as soon as you install it, it’s most likely a problem with the installation. I suggest switching to the default Tumblr theme, and then copying and pasting the code in. If that doesn’t work, send me a link and I can check it out for you.
