Kubrick sidebar color carrying over to post page

First, your blog looks great, and Second, your blog looks fine other than your entries are centered instead of on to the left on the individual post pages. Thirdly, you use <br /> instead of <br> because < br /> validates.

1. Thank you.
2. Individual post pages used to not have the green sidebar. I would like to continue not having them. I like them centered.
3. I just checked. It *is* using ‘br /’. Still doesn’t work.

The call for the background image is in the header.php template file. Maybe you accidently named both images the same.

Specifically, check out the #page id. There’s some PHP if statements that control which of two #page lines is used. See the default Kubrick header.php file that comes with WordPress 1.5 for an example.

Ah, I see the diffence now. The old kubrick said this:

body { background: url(“<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg”); } <?php /* Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not */ if ((! $withcomments) && (! $single)) { ?>
#page { background: url(“<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; } <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
#page { background: url(“<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; } <?php } ?>

while the new one just says:

body { background: url(“https://cruzcontroller.com/blog/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg&#8221;); }
#page { background: url(“https://cruzcontroller.com/blog/images/kubrickbg.jpg&#8221;) repeat-y top; border: none; }

So I guess the new version of Kubrick took out that functionality and the second page command.

I’ll try to copy it over and see if that works. If not, any help would be appreciated by people know know Kubrick.

UPDATE: Nope, just copying it did not work. Suck.

Stryke11, the code you show doesn’t include the “if” statement … you may have missed it since it extends way off to the right outside visibility. It begins directly after the “body” background style.

Ha! Copied someone else’s Kubrick 1.5 page, and now it works. For some reason mine didn’t have the new “if” statement. Now it does.

Sweet.

Any ideas out there on making the link description in the sidebar go below the links instead of next to them?

Check some of the “Links Manager tags” out. Links Manager refers to the Links Panel in your site’s Administration Panels.

Sorry, that’s a ton of info, but it doesn’t help me. I think it’s a bug, but I’m not sure. If you go to the WP 1.5 backend and click links, and then link categories, there will be a line after every link category that says Before:, Between:, and After:. The default for each one is Before – ‘li’. Between ‘br /’. After ‘/li’.

Checking out the source of my page reveals there is indeed a ‘li’ before each link and a ‘/li’ after the description, but no ‘br /’ between them. My mission then, is to find away, aside from just doing my links myself in html outside of the backend, to put that ‘br /’ in there.

You’ll have to use wp_get_links instead of get_links_list. That means you’ll have to make a call to wp_get_links for each link category.

The following does just that and (I think) reproduces the output of get_links_list except it uses the before, between, and after settings. It’s a bit of a hack, but I think it works.

<?php $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) { ?>
<li id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>"><h2><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>

Thanks for coming up with that, mdawaffe!

Would this go into sidebar.php? In place of what’s already there for links or in addition to it?

Yes. In place of. Good luck! :)

It works perfectly. Thanks!!!

Wow, this worked perfect for me as well. Thanks a ton! Looks SO much better now.

Big thank-you for this. Shouldn’t this be considered a bug in 1.5? I mean, it allows you to choose formatting options, but then doesn’t use them!

Or maybe it’s a template bug? Either way, this is the default config for 1.5 and it shouldn’t be “shipped” this way. The average user isn’t going to want to hack their templates.
