How do I prevent the circled box from displaying?

Hi!

First thing: Check your first left sidebar HTML nugget. It has this content:

Code: Select all

<a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/extlink/www.alphastocks.com/');" title="Home" href="http://www.alphastocks.com/"><strong><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">AlphaStocks Home </font></strong></a></td />

This makes your left sidebar look ugly. Instead it should look like this:

Code: Select all

<a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/extlink/www.alphastocks.com/');" title="Home" href="http://www.alphastocks.com/"><strong><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">AlphaStocks Home </font></strong></a>

(Without the </td />!)

Now to your other problem. Edit the style.css file that is inside the templates/carl_contest/ directors. At the bottom, add this:

Code: Select all

.serendipity_entry .serendipity_entryFooter {
  display: none; 
}

Thank you, fixed it.

Now, another problem I have is that when I install a new sidebar plugin I can't control where it goes. I used to be able to choose left or right side bar and so on. Now any front end plugin goes automatically in the right sidebar.

Sidebars plugin always were installed to the right side, you could only after installation move them.

If your browser supports javascript, you see some pixels on the top left corner of each plugin box. You can click+drag that to the left side of the sidebar plugins, so that it gets there. If you'd rather like the old method of moving, you can go to your personal preferences and disable the option to use "fancy/enhanced javascript effects".

I've got a user who doesn't want to enable comments, which is fine, but he also does not want the comment fields to show. I've tried your CSS fix but it doesn't work on this template - Plain Vanilla. Any other ideas? I'd really appreciate your help.

Hi Francistill!

Have you looked at the s9y.org FAQ? There are some pointers on how to remove comment sections.

you're a genius, thanks! commented out parts of the entries.tpl file, as suggested in the FAQ. still can't figure out how to achieve the same effect with CSS, though - but if I do, I'll post the solution here, for future reference.
