Yuwie Layouts

I have noticed when using Coolchaser layouts on Yuwie, the Network Table doesn’t carry over. Is there a way to have it in the Shout each time you use it?

1.3.08 UPDATE!!!!: This is the way to make Coolchaser layouts for Yuwie. (for now until Sachiko and Chao let us make Yuwie layouts in the editor…hint, hint)

These instructions have to be followed EXACTLY as they are written. Even the capital “T” in “contactTable” or this won’t work.

1. Copy and paste the entire coolchaser layout code into notepad or wordpad on your computer.
2. Hit “Ctrl H” keys simultaneously to bring up the Replace tool.
3. Type blacktext12 in the Find box.
4. Type topimg in the Replace With box.
5. Hit “Replace All” (this makes the network banner the top image above the blogs)
6. Type contactTable in the Find box.
7. Type optionstable in the Replace With box.
8. Hit “Replace All” (this puts the contact table on the profile)
9. Close the Replace tool.
10. Add this code at the very bottom after ALL the codes:

<style>
.topimg {width:420px !important;}
</style>

This will sort of work. It makes it so the network banner will still be a kind of network banner above the blogs just like it is on myspace. It also makes the contact table show up. The headings will just be the regular text color. So if there were any background images or specific font style for the headings—-it will not show on Yuwie this way.

If you want to resize comment images so your Yuwie profile doesn’t get all stretched out from HUGE pictures in the comment section add this code to the very very end AFTER all the other codes.

<style>
.comments2 img {width:250px !important;}
.comments2 object, .comments2 embed {width:250px !important; height:200px !important;}
</style>

Here is a working example:

Ok, checked out the Cocktail layout, rated it. Now, I got lots more to play with. Many thanks.

BTW, I have had no problem with the contact table. It shows up fine when using Coolchaser layouts, without changing the code.

I just tried it out, unsuccessfully. The background image didn’t show up, and there was no banner box, much less graphic at the top. Gonna mess around some more for a while, before giving up, though. It still turns out like this: http://ww3.yuwie.com/profile/?id=293142

Without the changes noted in the forum, background shows up fine, so does contact box.

Now the contact boxes are off center, down about 2 or 3 lines from where they should be on every Coolchaser layout.

hmmmm…I’m not sure what to say about your codes.
Which layout was it? Maybe it’s not the same for every coolchaser layout. I’ll test it out and see what is going on.

It was this one: http://www.coolchaser.com/layout/create/4786316

It was this one: http://www.coolchaser.com/layout/create/4786316 Part of the problem might be the banners in the headings section. It also doesn’t pick up the graphic for the contact table for some reason. MySpace shows everything fine, so it’s not a bandwidth problem on the contact table.

It works:

I’m going to delete it tho because it’s your layout, I don’t want to take credit for yours. I just put it on there so you can see it. Adding the headings image is a whole different thing and starts getting pretty complicated. So if you want to keep it simple and sacrifice the headings you can do it this way. I’ll try to write the directions again so it’s more clear how to get the layout for Yuwie. :)

I changed the instructions for making coolchaser layouts work on Yuwie up in my first post. :)

Hopefully that makes it easier to understand!

On this one it worked. on the next one (and I copied and pasted) it screwed up. I think I’m gonna do two things. 1st is start playing around with their layout generator, and 2nd wait for Sachiko and Chao to get Coolchaser set up where our layouts can be used on Yuwie. Thanks again for the help.

cool! :)

I just sent you a message on Yuwie too. Go read it and let me know what you think k?

ttyl

Oh wow~ looks like Yuwie is causing a buzz here! :) I’ve looked into Yuwie and they look pretty similar to MySpace’s markup so I think we can automate it someday :P the network banner trick is pretty awesome Heathaaa! That was one of the problem I had when trying to convert MySpace to other layouts, the others don’t have something similar to the network table. So is Yuwie fun so far?? :)

I’ve seen TONS of coolchaser layouts on Yuwie! It seems like they designed it to mirror MySpace on purpose. So far I think it’s a whole lot like MySpace. Now instead of all the messages about “comment my pics” or “whore 4 whore” I get messages like “read my blogs” or “do this and I’ll rate you 50 times”. haha! But, I still like it. I think it’s just as addicting as MySpace, only you do get paid for your addiction.

ok so it appears that this method for converting coolchaser layouts to yuwie doesn’t work with ALL coolchaser layouts!! So, keep trying people. and if anyone would like to request a specific coolchaser layout they want on Yuwie feel free to post. I will see if I can make it work for you. :)

But hey…why don’t we just bug Chao and Sachiko for Yuwie layouts?

Sachiko, you and Chao need to get this all figured out and running. Like Heathaaa says I’ve noticed a LOT of coolchaser layouts. Most of them are without the Network box, but the logo is definitely there. Also, you could accept me as a friend on Yuwie, Sachiko (hint, hint). LOL

Hi Lost John, thanks for the add! hee hee! Yes, we are figuring out Yuwie layouts and I have the skeleton part ready so we need to implement it and do some more tweaks…. probably will be available in a month or so :D hope I’m not being too unrealistic here. tee hee.

YESS!! You totally rock!! I was just talking to Chao about that today too!

Rock isn’t a good enough word. When I think of one, I’ll let ya know. Sachiko, btw, I sent you a message on Yuwie. You might be interested in especially the first part. Those seriously trying to make money on Yuwie (no, it’s not something you join or anything like that) would be interested. It’s an easier way to get more page views from your friends. Also, I have noticed a lot of Yuwie users moving their comments to either their shout section or blog section. Has anybody got an idea on how to do that?

First start a new blog entry titled COMMENTS GO HERE or something like that for people to leave you comments. Then, since you are using the layout I made you, I went and put the code to hide comments in your layout. But, you will need to go in there and click to add it to your profile again for it to hide your comments.

The only problem I see with making it a blog would be taken care of by a clickable link that is permanently on the main page, possibly in the shout section, because every time a new blog is done the older one is not as obvious nor as easy to find.

yep that’s true…so you can also make a link to that blog in your shout box. Make it very obvious and near the top so people don’t get confused. :)

Hey Lost John,

Here’s a small tip to help you make your blog comment section more obvious:

put the tag
<big>text you want bigger</big>
to make your text a little bigger.

If you are doing it with a link do it like this:

<a href="link to your blog"><big>COMMENT ME HERE</big></a>

Example of how much bigger without it being a link:

regular size text
bigger size text

That is a big help. Thanks.

I just want to make sure I understand everything on this. You have already set up the profile mentioned above so that it hides the profile. That I understand. Is it also set up that the link to the blog will actually bring up the comments page? Or is that done separately? I hate to sound so dumb, but when it comes to code, I AM!
