Problems with Tranquility II layout?

[annathepiper]

Are any users of this layout besides me noticing an issue that on every link on your journal, the "Leave a comment" link is linking back to the journal itself rather than to the Reply mode for the entry? I'm seeing this happen on my own journal as well as the two communities I maintain, and on the Friends view for these communities as well. I've checked two other people on my Friends list who're using the layout as well, and it seems to happen for me on their journals too.

(If you click on the "Link" link that does take you to the entry, and you can leave a comment from there. However the value for the "Leave a comment" link got lost, it only seems to be affecting the Recent Entries and Friends views that I've noticed, and not the Entry view.)

I'd check a community like s2_tranquility for answers like that.

Cool, thanks for the tip. :)

I haven't had that problem, but noticed that some of my comment pages have had "recursing" errors on them yesterday... rather irritated me...

[annathepiper]

Yes, I saw your post. And I've seen that error before--on other journals that use that specific journal layout. It's probably an error in the code that controls that layout. I don't know what causes it, though. Your best bet is to ask the Livejournal support team for help, preferably by pointing them at a page that does this so that they can have something to try to debug.

By the way, that dancing animated GIR? I love the graphic, but it makes an even worse background for a web page than that other one you were using before. Animated graphics in general really are NOT good ideas for web page backgrounds of any kind, because far more often than not they're going to make your visitors' eyes hurt.

oh, that was fixed... I had the dancing Gir before, so when I tried going back to the old style that I used to see if it corrected the problem, Gir was still there... i just redid my comment page to get rid of the problem, since the "recursing" error still showed up no matter what style i used... grrr btw, would you like the dancing gir?

[annathepiper]

Nah, I have no particular need for the graphic myself, but thank you for offering. :)

If that page is still showing the error, you should definitely post an LJ support request. They can't fix it if they don't know it's broken.

gotcha... :)

I intend to keep this for a while--I want to whip up a new custom layout myself, but I don't know what I want to do yet, and I expect it will take me some time to think of something. :)

So I'll see if I can figure this out. The intellectual challenge interests me, anyway. If I can get a handle on it, I think I'll file a support request.

The only time I've seen it, it was when the comment threads were getting long. In specific there was one chain of commentary which seemed to trip the problem.

So far as I can tell the owner wasn't aware of it until I pointed it out.

Were they using this particular style on their journal?

(I've gone digging in the Tranquility II style code. As near as I can tell, the problem lies with a builtin function in the core layer, print_reply_link. I can't find the code for that to see exactly what it does. But if I do a View Source on my journal, I see that the href values for any of the Leave a Comment links aren't getting set to anything.)

I am not certain. I know they are using an S2 style.

look at syreene and you'll know.

[annathepiper]

Ah! Yeah, that style is Flexible Squares. Different one than the one I'm using.

I've filed a support request, anyway, so we'll see how fast the Support folks stick a fix in for this.
