Keenspace site help

Post by ZOMBIE USER 12394 »

Is there a tag so that you can put what you want to say for each individual comic page, such as for one comic i want to say a few things, and on another i want to say something else. If there isn't a tag, is there a way to do this other than to edit each page manually? thanks

yup.
simply create a text file (.txt) or a html file (.html) and name it comicdaterant.txt, etc. and upload it with your comic to /workspace/comics/ Today's one would read 20021214rant.txt. Keenspace will copy your entire file character for character into the page it creates, so if you're using html do not include tags like <head> or <body>. Technically the name doesn't have to end with rant (although this makes it clear) the name just has to have a higher numerical value than the comic for that day, or it will appear above the comic (other examples you could use are a20021214.txt and 20021214boogabo.txt)

Thanks. Can you position where you want the rant dailytemplate.html page?

Yup. By default it'll be in the same place as the one on your indextemplate, but you can move things around using CSS.

Slap your entire rant in between a set of DIV tags, and give it an ID attribute

Code: Select all

<div id=rant>
 Rant goes here.
</div>
Then stick this in your page's head

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
 #rant{position:relative;top:-500;left:20;}
</style>
This example would move it up 500 pixels, and left 20.
