That's what you get for lying homie. You're supposed to say "get fucked" and "fif".

Hey d3rr, is there documentation for changing css of a sub here?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

Not really. It's the same as reddit except our main header banner is on a different element. Myself and some others are around to help people who get stuck.

For what it's worth, this was posted recently about banners:

https://saidit.net/s/SaiditCSSthemes/comments/3kx8/basic_theme_to_fix_header_image_displaying/

Of note, it's in the https://saidit.net/s/SaiditCSSthemes/ feed that you might want to delve into, ask questions, etc.

Also noteworthy, I just used that code earlier this week to change the banner on https://saidit.net/s/CorbettCommenters/ - but now it's broken for some reason.

Maybe /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr have changed something?

If you guys are changing CSS impacted stuff, please let us know when you've finished. And thanks for improving SaidIt as you do. I emailed d3rr about some ideas I had and wait for a response (no rush, it's not a top priority for me), as I intend to finish my first seemingly but never abandoned CSS and start two more - one for /s/WikiSpooks and one for my /s/GlossedAndProfound projects.

Also, kokolokoNightcrawler, my first CSS now has issues, but I notated all of the functionality. I also started an instruction manual at the top/opening of the code but IGNORE that incomplete confusing incorrect mess. That CSS is on most of my subs, including this one with the shortest 3-letter title: https://saidit.net/s/Sex/about/stylesheet/ Maybe it can help. NOTE: In the fall SaidIt updates impacted all CSS's, thus the issues with mine yet to be fixed, including the banners.

Hey dude, thanks for help. I know CSS but I've never changed css this way and so duh stupid me, I just had to do the id #header and change its background-image value.... I guess this "stylesheet" automatically replaces same code in local.css just try this::

//#header { background-image: url(%%name%%); }

without the slashes!

Also, you should be able to link to an outside link to a banner of your choice...but then instead of %%link%%, you would put in "url" of the jpg or png inside the parentheses ....

Thanks for your help too.

After going through my subs, I feel like the problem is related to 2 things. One may be the size of the banner. Many of my banners are of different sizes. I didn't keep track of which worked, which didn't, and what the banner image size was. But I could. The other thing that I suspect has more to do with it is the positioning of the banner. For many of my banners I just commented out the banner-position and while the image doesn't line up, at least you catch a corner of it.

I would be willing to pin it down more definitively if I heard back from /u/magnora7 and/or /u/d3rr and got a little help on it.

I'm not in a hurry, obviously, but it's about time I got my act together on this front, regardless of the reasons, and made them all presentable.

well it does make sense that you can't fit an elephant inside a shoe box lol... If you put some like this background-size:100% 100%; then you gonna get some distortion in height or width depended on the pic. maybe try setting width to 100% and height to auto...

It worked great before. I intentionally created extra large banners.

1) On my browsers I shrink the text to 80% or usually 90% to see more on my screen. This leaves a graphic gap that looks terrible.

2) Instead of making day mode and night mode banners I made banners with a light and dark end, often with the main shared interest in the middle. Then I'd position each accordingly in the code.

If large banners are the problem I can correct. If positioning is a problem I can correct. I just don't understand what the issue(s) is/are.

easy stuff it seems...css of every individual sub is open via "stylesheet" as far as I can tell.
