Question thread #124

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

[misbegotten]

I don't actually know what a dev-related question is, but I will ask in the hope that this is:

Is it possible to fix it so we can do back-dated entries in community journals?

Add text to tag page of community

[sunlit_skycat]

Is it possible to change the way that the tag page of a community is generated, whether through layers or another method?

The goal is to take this tag page and change it so it is like this:

--

Page title

[Insert new text here that tells people how to click on the tags to find things and other navigation tips]

All the regular tags as normal, but the multilayer tags are changed so that all the indented, second layer of tags are under a details dropdown section, which opens up to show all the second layer of tags on click.

--

This is the text I am hoping to place in HTML form
Navigation Tips
Dreamwidth has some hidden navigation features. To search for the types of content listed below, edit the information inside the brackets [ ], and then copy and paste the address into your URL. Replace any spaces with the + symbol. For example, the tag [character: alexander belanger] should become character:+alexander+belanger

Entries by a specific poster
https://blueheronteanook.dreamwidth.org/?poster=[user name]

Entries with both tag A and tag B
https://blueheronteanook.dreamwidth.org/tag/[tagA],[tagB]?mode=and

Entries with tag A or tag B
https://blueheronteanook.dreamwidth.org/tag/[tagA],[tagB]?mode=or

To find the full table of contents for a multichapter work, click the tag labeled [series: title].

To find the next chapter of a multichapter work when you have already clicked on an entry, go to the tag section of an entry. Next to the "tag" label, click the green button with a + sign. Click the tag labeled [series: title]. Use the blue arrows to navigate. Desktop only.


The theme used is Radiant Aqua of Venture with some recolors and custom CSS edits. I am on a paid account now, but will soon be on a free account. My current level of programming skill is about the level where I can open up inspect and fiddle around with CSS, and copy and paste code that other people have written. I have taken a quick look at the DW Dev Wiki, but am still not sure whether this is a) something that can be done and b) something that can reasonably be done at the skill level I have.
