Dilectio Template

Hi! Thanks for this awesome template. I’ve been messing with it a bit and I so far only have two problems. I looked at a few of the comments and I’m sorry if this has been answered already. First, I would like to change where it says “recent articles” to say “recent posts” and even if I change it on the layout page it won’t change on the site. I looked in the html and I can’t find where that is defined. I also didn’t find an image that was defined as that. The second thing is, I don’t want it to have that “Subscribe” part at the bottom. If you know how to get rid of that that would be great. Thanks again for a great template!

i have read all the comments for this template.
as many here i am too having the same problem of words getting wrapped around images..
the words r neither going down or up..
they r just going here and there……
i mean simply getting wrapped up with the images…
hence most of my posts now have distorted and all words and images have messed up..

David could u plz help with this..
i see that u answered everything except this problem…
plz see to this..
this takes away the perfectness from the template…..

PLZ HELPPPPPPPP…..

In response to Yogesh Goel’s question. I was having the same problem. If you have a picture smaller than the width of the post area, it’s going to wrap funny. Make sure that your pictures are big enough to fill the space. In fact, make them bigger and the template automatically puts them at the right size. I use this tag for putting pictures in my posts rather than using blogger:

If you use that, when your guests click on the picture they will be sent to the full size copy. I had a picture yesterday that was portrait sized and as long as the first word that is wrapping is longer than the extra space it won’t wrap. I had to put “—” with the word to keep it from wrapping. It’s not a terrible way to deal with it, much better than trying to change the HTML. I hope that helps!

Ok, that is weird, it didn’t show up…I will try again but if it doesn’t show up this time I’m sorry!

Great theme, and you did a great job converting it to Blogger platform.

I just want to ask how you add AdSense before Blog Entry? Did you add the code manually?

Thanks,

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any issues regarding the date showing up on their blog posts. So far, I have just the blue ticker without the date showing in the box. Can someone please help me?

Here’s my blog so you can take a look at the issue on the most recent post.

tennismobster.blogspot.com

thx for any help you can give me. Btw, love this template. I wish that the Wordpress theme “The Morning After” was also available for Blogger. Has anyone seen this theme out there for Blogger?

Hola all,

Dilectio is a very beautiful template and is use by many of my friends, but there’s a little bit of problem when images were to be used. Problem like Miriam (read above comments #22) and the rest were facing.

To fix that little problem please refer to this post, Solving ‘Dilectio’ BloggerTemplate.

Hopefully it will solve that text-wrap around images problem for those who are using Dilectio.

See you around. Happy New Year. I wish you peace, prosperity and much joy in 2009 and beyond.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

Hola David,

Thanks for the head-up David. Really appreciate it very much. And I’m glad you’ve it fixed too.

See you around David.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

I want to ask “how can I fill up the top tabs element with my post”??

This very good, templates

Great blogspot themes…

Hi,

I choose “Comment Form Placement” type as “Embedded below post”, but it doesn’t work. I don’t see any form below my post???

When I click on “post comment”, it adds “#comments” to the URL, just that!

I appreciate if you can find a solution.

Tnx!

I have used your gorgeous template for my Telugu Babes blog.But ‘Recent Articles Recent Comments’ widget is not working. pls help me.
Telugu Babes!

Iaxmi,

Go to the layout, open the widget and add the feed URLs of your posts and comments:

http://telugubabes.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
http://telugubabes.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default

Regards!

Post a comment not working on this template? i cant post comment. Can anyone help on this please.

Have a great day!!

Hola iclfan,

That’s much better. Next time whenever you wanna ask a question (maybe somewhere else) please be specific. Give as much info as possible. I’m sure your question will be answered the way you want it.

I think you’re asking about inline comment? It’s very easy to do if you’re using Blogger default templates. All you’ve to do is to go to the Blogger in Draft. After signing in with your username and password, you will be taken to your Dashboard. From there go to Settings –> Comments –> Comment Form Placement. Then select Embedded below post. Save and that is it.

For others who are using customized template (like the one you’re using now – Dilectio), first you do like the above. After saving it, go to your blog and see whether the inline comment is in place or not?

If not, this is what I do on my template. Whatever you do, please backup your template.

From your Dashboard, go to Layout –> Edit HTML –> Expand Widget Templates. Search for this string of codes,

<p class='comment-footer'> <a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'>Post a Comment</a> </p>

Change it to;

<p class='comment-footer'><b:if cond='data:post.embedCommentForm'> <b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/> <b:else/><a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'>Post a Comment</a></b:if> </p>

That’s it. And save your template.

But please remember, your template may be tweaked differently. Basically, that was the line of code I have to add to make the inline comment form to appear.

If you’re still not clear about it, I shall make a post specially for you.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

I have the same problem as iclfan.

I choose â��Comment Form Placementâ�� type as â��Embedded below postâ��, but it doesnâ��t work. I donâ��t see any “leave a comment form” below my post???
When I click on �post comment�, it adds �#comments� at the end of the URL.
Now, I have chosen pop-up option.

Any idea?

http://abdullahozcelik.com

Hola iclfan,

I did leave a comment for you, but I guess Akismet thought it was a spam and block it.

For now you’ve to wait for the BlogMaster to unblock the comments as a reply to your question.

Anyway, I’m doing a post about Inline Comment on Web Directory.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

Hi ArahMan7,
Thank you for your solution! Now, I can see my comment window embedded below posts.
I have another rather insignificant visual related question.

0 comments:
——————————–

Post a Comment
—————————–

How can I remove the 2nd line under the “Post a comment” sentence?
Thanks!

Does someone know Blogger has an additional feature to add a Star Rating Widget in each of the post-footer? And also “delicious, stumbleupon buttons widget” would be great.

ArahMan7,

Your suggested change removed both lines, not only 2nd line.

I didn’t understand what you mean by “Did you know that ‘Add a Gadget’ has been incorporated with iGoogle?”. I just see 19 Basic gadgets when I click on “add gadget” button on page elements view.

I try to add “Star Rating” feature to my posts: I edit my posts section, click on “Show Star Ratings” but it doesn’t work???

Thanks!

I have applied this template on my blog. Just one problem, the mid section where my blog contents is, is flushed to the left of the webpage. Can someone tell me how to centralise it.

My blog address is http://www.punggolplus.blogspot.com

Thanks.

Hola Jessica,

You mean the empty space on the right?

I guess you must be using a Laptop with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. If you’re, then it’s normal. On my LapTop with the same resolution, there’s an empty space on the right.

On my desktop with 1024 x 768 pixel, your blog looked real good. No empty space.

Right now both my desktop and laptop are on. Your blog look ok on my desktop, but on my laptop there’s an empty space.

There’s nothing to worry Jessica. That’s normal.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

Hi Arahman.

Thanks for your advice about the nuffnang ad. I have adjusted that.

Here’s another screenshot of the bottom of my blog – http://www.flickr.com/photos/10544943@N07/3253697470/

The end credits are outside the perimeter of the main body of the blog. Is that normal? I am thinking that it should be in the center of the screen, together with the main body of the blog.

Jessica

Hola Jessica,

On my Laptop, it is situated at the topmost on the right (at the empty space). See image, Jessica’s Blog.

But on my desktop it is situated correctly, at the bottom on the left. See image, on ArahMan7 GooglePages.

I can’t say for sure whether it’s normal or not coz I can’t explain it in technical term why it happened that way.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

Hi Arahman

Thanks for the time and effort. I appreciate it.

:]

Thanks buddy. I will.

Goodnight.

Sleep tight to you too.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

Hi there,

I absolutely love this template. I have been using it for a few weeks now, it’s been working great.

There is however one thing I would like addressed if possible? It’s regarding the blog archives.

If I choose the Hierarchy format and choose to display the post titles, it is not displaying the titles beneath the dates. Instead it just lists all the posts in entirety in the body area on the left. This makes it extremely difficult for readers to skim through the topics to the post that interests them.

If you could let me know how this can be corrected to display the post titles beneath the date. I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks for the great work!!

Lucia in Canada

ArahMan7,

Regarding the inline comments fix, I had the same problem, used your correction code, and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much!

Lucia

When I edit my template,insert xml code of Dilectio Template and make “save template” appears the next information:

“We were unable to save your template
Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
The new widget id “Recent-Posts-Widget1″ is invalid for type: Feed”

and

“Widgets are about to be deleted
Please confirm that the following widgets should be deleted. All the widgets’ configuration data will be lost.

* Feed1
* BloggerButton1″

What I’m doing wrong? Sorry if you already aswered this question but I couldn’t found it.
Thank you!

Hello, I tried to fix the html code as you indicated before with the comments issue, I still can’t post any comments, neither my friends… I would like to know what to do??? this is the comments code that I have…

I really hope you can help me, I love this theme!

@Venus as a boy: it seems like Blogger has been making some changes recently that don’t sit well with customized templates.

A solution I found for your problem would be to simply change any troublesome widget ID’s to “[type][#]“.

For example, “Recent-Posts-Widget1″ is a Feed, so rename it as “Feed1″.

Go ahead and confirm deletion of widgets; that’s fine. It makes sense – you made new widgets and left out old ones.

(Also, if you end up with a weird bX-something error after doing that fix, a solution is to just increase the numbers of certain widget IDs from 1 to 2, particularly Blog/BlogArchive. Don’t ask; I’m equally confused.)

@ModaWayfarer: it looks like Photobucket, which hosts Dilectio’s image files, has trouble from time to time. I’ve had this happen to me as well. You can just host the images yourself, and change the links within the template accordingly.

Hi Lucia, I tried all he said here, but nothing worked.. I would like to say that I’m using this template with blogger… I tried to change the code and nothing happened, the settings and nothing… So I would like to know what the heck I have to do next, hahaha, this is driving me nuts. =(

I made it and now the answer is:

The new widget with id “SearchBox” has an invalid type: html

Ok I went back to the Draft Blogger and did everything you indicated again, and now every time that I go to my blog and I try to post a comment, ok it directs me to the post comment page, and all the sudden i see the comment box but it disappears…

Hola Marysabel,

I’ve just ran a test on my test-blog and it turned out A-OK.

On your Page Source, I see that there are two lines of Post a Comment and my guess you’ve changed the codes in the wrong place.

On Edit HTML mode there are TWO string of Post Footer. Read carefully and choose the correct syntax.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

p/s this is my third comments. two got blocked.

ArahMan7,

I appreciate all the help you are giving all of us. I’m having the same problem that Marysabel had, and I’ve been doing just as you suggested for her. I’m in the draft blogger, I have two feed errors that come up where I change the name to either feed1 or feed2, and then I have two HTML errors that I change to HTML1 or HTML2. After the second change, I get the blogger error: bX-v7bdaz.

I’m trying everything that you have suggested in these helpful posts. I changed to a classic blogger template, I removed any extra widget that I had installed…I still can’t get this to work.

I’m sure it has to be something simple, but this is day 2 of trying… I love the template, and really want to make it work.

Thank you for any suggestion you can offer!

How can I modify my blog post section so that the links open in new window?
It takes too much time to add target=”_blank” for every link in HTML mode while creating a new post!
Tnx!

Hola Lucia,

Thanks for your kind words. Gee, you made me blushed and I can’t stopped grinning from ear to ear. I guess my brothers and sisters must be wondering what’s going on?

Anyway, thank you for starting my day with a smile and I’m sure today gonna be a great day than yesterday.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

I have the same problem as chat.noir with the date format. I Tried every one of them and nothing works.

Please help me!

BTW i’m using the french version of Blogger.

Sorry i’ve got the answer after looking to older comments.

thanks

Hi Lutteuse Sumo. Wich old comment help you with this problem? I tried the fix suggested friendly by ArahMan7 but intead don’y work for me.
Thanks for your attention.

Lastima que todavia no se soluciona el problema de “El código ID del nuevo widget “Recent-Posts-Widget1″ no es válido para este tipo: Feed”

ya que yo ya quisiera usar mi tema de dilectio completo como este no como el que tengo en mi actual blog guatezona.blogspot.com ;s

I’m facing problems with the comments. I can’t post any comments if the comment form placement is set as embedded below post. The full page and popup window works fine. How can i fix this?

is i dont wrong in dis tutorial yo could fix that http://web-directory.blogspot.com/2008/12/solving-dilectio-bloggertemplate.html

Hey! Thanks a ton for the great template! I’m using it on my blog page(as linked to my name). I love the colors..and the design goes with the title of my page.

I just have one question. I’m not able to configure the recent posts and recent comments tabs! I am getting a blank window when I click on the Edit buttons for those two features! So, where do I enter the posts and the comments feed when I do not even get the “Edit” dialog box?!

Please reply.

hi arahman

I’m having the same problem with the recent posts & comments as kadambari on my blog http://www.punggolplus.com.

I get the same blank edit box. I remembered that there should be a field to key in the rss feed in but it’s not happening.

Pls help.

Hey Arahman..
Thanks for your ever prompt reply.
Like Jessica has mentioned..our problem is this..

When we click on the “edit” option on the recent posts/ recent comments widget box, a configure feed dialog box opens. (like shown above in description and tutorials). But, the box is blank and there is no place to enter the comments and post feed. Here’s a snapshot of what the box looks like..

http://picasaweb.google.com/kadambari699/Spirals#5315493166119730770

Please let us know..what’s wrong.
Thanks again!

I continued unavalible tu put that template on mi blog :s

no, i mean to install the template.. y have the famous feed1 id error

Thanks Arahman. Again for your magic solution to every problem.

I tweaked my template around based on all the suggestions you have given above and it works great!

I am using a different “import feed” widget for my recent comments and posts because the default template feed dialog box is empty. Anyway, I’ll try to get other third party widgets for this purpose.

Thanks again.

I just wanted to say that I love this template. Thank you so much for developing and offering such a fabulous looking blog!

I love this template! I’m currently using it on a dummy site, but will get it up soon. Was wondering if it is legal/ok to change the color of the orange box, or if you have other color options somewhere?
Also, how would I do a footer like the one at the bottom of this page with many columns?

Thanks for creating this for blogger, and for your quick feedback! That’s the sign of a good template.

I’m having an issue with the Recent Posts/Comments widget. It seems that an extra table of sorts has been created that I can’t seem to get rid of. When I click the alternate tab, it bounces up, and when I click back to the original tab, it goes beneath the list again.

I’ve tried just about everything. I don’t know what to do to get it to function normally.

Hi..i love the template but im having difficulties with the date..it didnt show up and ive read thru the comments and didnt find any solution for this problem. What changes do i have to make for the timestamp to show on my posts? Ty

ty for the reply. I tried it but it didnt work..it still didnt show on my posts..do i need to do same adjustment on the page elements under blog posts edit?

I imagine that changing the one setting would automatically change the other. In the event that it does not then yes, you should change the setting in your Page Elements in the Blog Posts section as well.

oo i tried using Settings > Formatting > Timestamp and adjust it to Monday, April 06, 2009 and it worked!..tyvm hehehe

this is really a nice template and planning to use it. the problem is for recent post and comment section. im really fed up with this problem because there are other template that have these problems too.

but every problems must have solutions. for me, i just learn to hack blogger from a few websites that teach us on how to set up recent post and recent comments. just add to ur blog and problem solved.

salam mr ArahMan7, can u teach me on how to increase the width of the main post and add read more options?

i really appreciate ur help.

@ Kristopher – Still working on your extra table on your Recent Posts/Comments widget. Will email you after I figure it out.

@ wan18 – Good for you. I’ve a lot to learn too. By the way, which template you wanna increase the width? For now, try finding “Outer Wrapper” and “Main Wrapper” and increase the width that suited your need.

Read more – I did published two posts about it long long time ago. You can read it here, Summarry/Expandable Post and Another Summary/Expandable Post.

Hope it will answer your questions.

Greetings and lots of love from Kuale Kangsor, Malaysia.

Recent articles and post are working at my blogspot civitasprzedborz. Blog in PL lang – sorry .
Info about sources of dilectio temlate – see footer.
Attention! All dilectio changes are not professional. Use it at your own risk! But it works on mine Check before you change your source…

Thanks a lot. “Step by step” instruction how to make it working on my blog in “Blogger templates” article category. Best wishes 4all.

i had use this template without any problems, thanks to the guidance from ArahMan7. u had help me a lot and i really appreciate it. please come to my blog if u have free time..

Wan – I can’t see your recent comments/post module under (as it can be seen in the original wordpress dilectio theme). Did you “turn off” the widget?

ArahMan7 – It works (recent comments/articles) on my blog correcty (Firefox). Tommorow I’ll send a link to some screenshots. As you can see there is a .js script inside the “new” Recent Comments/Articles used in my blog (see Blogger templates Dic\lectio thread in it). This code is published as a hot link on the free server. Maybe it’s the reason why some troubleshoots could be seen. I don’t know it yet. But I’ll make some test on my next testing blog soon using wow-dilectio-blogger templates as it was created (all files with the images and java scripts should be published as a hotlinks…). Greetings from Poland. Bunon.

P.S. Please contact with me in this topic via email – it makes me easier to contact a little “fast”

Brunon ~ i had same problem as Kadambari and Jessica. the recent comments and recent posts module only give a blank box when i click on it in the page elements section. i cannot use these at all. so i learn to setup recent comments widget through this website:

http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2007/08/recent-comments-widget-update-this.html

this widget is placed at the sidebar of my blog, not at the default position. i didn’t use recent posts widget. i hope this explanation would solve ur curiosity.

Arahman7, I need you to work your magic, I need your help again!!!

If you check out my site, you will see that the ‘recent comments’ does not display the most recent posts. You will see from the bottom left of the main blog, where I have implemented another Feedburner feed of my blog, that it works fine there.

So I went to the ‘troubleshooting’ section of feedburner and ran one of its tests. It came back with the following change suggestions. Problem is, I don’t know really how to make these changes! Help!

Anyone please, help! My comments section still not working!

Hola Ron, Cupid,

I was wondering why all of a sudden you’re having these comment problems? What did you do last prior to these problems?

I guess I’ve to create a new blog using Dilectio to help me understand more about this template.

Only one way that I can think of right now. Please upload Dilectio again after saving all your gadgets.

I know it can be a bit frustrating if questions went unanswered. I’m going to create the new blog now and see if there’s any problem, especially with her comment’s section.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

@ArahMan7

I used the template yesterday, after uploading it, I immediately tested out its functionality, and there I found the comment problem.

Hola Ron,

It’s ready. I’ve not tested it yet, but try leaving a comment or two on Improving Dilectio. Read the post as well. Hopefully it will open other avenue to solve your problem.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

Thanks for the replies but still, nothing works.

I get this url when I tried to click on the post a comment link.
