1. I'm trying to write a function that will do a find-and-replace on the entry text. It would search the entry for foo and replace every instance of foo with bar. Is this even possible ( Read more... )

I recently started playing around in S2 (after about a year of having my brain melt every time I tried to look at it...), and I have a programming question. If I knew a bit about Perl or Java, this might be self evident, but previously, I've only worked in PHP. My question concerns whether you should always include a print command and what ( Read more... )

Is there any way to tell, programmatically, what Date or DateTime "today" or "now" are from within an S2 layer's code? I would dearly love to style today's entries slightly differently, but there doesn't seem to be anything in Core that returns a current timestamp.
How does one go about submitting feature requests for S2 Core, anyway?

I have this code below:

var int cdepth = 445+(15*($c.depth-1));

I want to convert $cdepth into a string because I need it as a string variable. How is that possible?

There's no info about it in the Core and I used LJSeek to search this community with no result either. Thanks.

Edit: Actually, the actual codes in Core had this and I suggest ( Read more... )

Hi all. I'm trying to display my friends list in RSS format using S2. I actually found a script that someone else had written which is helpful:

http://hacks.atrus.org/rdf_atom_s2/rdf_atom_s2.s2but, as is noted in the comments in that script, set_content_type doesn't seem to work (yet?). In other words, I can produce a beautiful RSS feed, but it ( Read more... )

Hi All :) I am looking for a tutorial / how-to for creating my own top-level layer (not a layout-specific or style layer).

I'm new to the idea of customizing my liveJournal and I want all in. I have the HTML and CSS for the layout I want. I've browsed the S2 Manual and I've learned the most from looking at the public layers but I am still somewhat ( Read more... )

pthalogreen made a cool journal style ages ago, which lists posts by just the music field. I wanted to see if I could do this in S2 and also wanted to include the new location field. And look, I did it! That's probably the most original thing I've managed to do with S2 so far, as opposed to just cribbing other people's code ( Read more... )

So I've been evangelizing S2 around lots of layout communities, and been doing quite a bit of helping people to convert their S1 styles to S2. I've turned up a couple of quirks that might be of interest, and I'm also curious to know why these things work the way they do, if anyone can tell me.

the LJ auto-formatter turns newlines into
, and so "paragraphs" normally get delimited by newlines. it seems like there should be a way to change that into proper
tags using S2, but i can't think of it. has anyone done this/has a clue how to do it? (sorry if this is documented already, but i couldn't see it in s2howto's memories).
