YALD - Themes and Mods

3-Column Template and index.php mod (no replies)

tucsonsam — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:02:46 -0500

As Mr. Mac requested I am uploading the following files:

3coltemplates/classic/directory.html
3coltemplates/classic/header.html
3coltemplates/classic/footer.html

and

index.php

I did nothing to change either suggest.html or search.html

To see the results, take a look at Virtual Postcard Exchange

Glad you like what I did.

Dark-Blue Theme (7 replies)

Hi,

I'm in the process of creating a new theme which has a nice simple clean layout, with a blue colour scheme.

Coming soon... let me know if there's any interest in this. I've attached a screen shot.

Note that his theme will have a slight mod that it will not show the link to the admin panel, or the suggest- a link page unless the visitor is logged in as an admin. If you don't want this, it will be trivial to undo it.

Shorten display URLs (no replies)

I expect to eventually incorporate this into the YALD codebase, but here is the modification for now. This will cause your directory to only display a link preview instead of the entire link.

I.E, instead of example.com/this_page/waljrhejrh2lhr2hrk/elwrjhwekjrw, it would be more like example.com/this_page...elwrjhwekjrw. If you want to have more control over the width of your page, you should probably make this modification.

First, add the following to inc/functions.php on a new line at the bottom before ?>:

function url_preview($ret){
	$maxlength = 50;
	$thelength=strlen($ret);
	if($thelength > $maxlength){
		$delchars=$thelength-$maxlength;
		$firsthalf = round($thelength/2-$delchars/2);
		$sechalf = round($thelength/2+$delchars/2);
		$ret = substr($ret,0,$firsthalf) . "..." . substr($ret,$sechalf,$thelength);
	}
	return $ret;
}

The next modification is also in functions.php.

On line 503 (yald version 2.4), replace

$links[] = array('id'=>$row['id'],'linkurl'=>$url,'url'=>$row['url'],'name'=>$row['name'],'description'=>$row['description']);

with

$links[] = array('id'=>$row['id'],'linkurl'=>$url,'url'=>url_preview($row['url']),'name'=>$row['name'],'description'=>$row['description']);

modified submission form- count characters remaining (7 replies)

I made a small addition and change to the suggest a link page that will show how many characters are remaining for the description field.

Added the following as /inc/charcount.js:

-----START HERE-----
//shamelessly stolen from: [www.reconn.us] - Count Words Left script

// function parameters are: field - the string field, count - the field for remaining characters number and max - the maximum number of characters
function CountLeft(field, count, max) {
// if the length of the string in the input field is greater than the max value, trim it
if (field.value.length > max)
field.value = field.value.substring(0, max);
else
// calculate the remaining characters
count.value = max - field.value.length;
}
-----END HERE-----

then modified /templates/[templatename]/header by adding:

just before the tag.

finally, modified /templates/templatename/suggest.html:

Description:
chars

And that's it! Hope someone else finds this useful, and maybe it will be included in the next release...?!

PS: dadblameit...where the smiley face is should be a closeparen!
