Blogger Templates by Falcon Hive

I’m sorry, I know nothing about HTML work… but I’ve downloaded this template and everything is ok except the fact that… I can’t switch pages on my website :x I have 5 messages per page and I created at least two pages. I haven’t got any button at the bottom of my first page so I really can’t go to page 2. Please help me :)

Thank you for having updated your post. I tried to change my HTML code and add the little part in yellow, and I saved my template. But nothing appears. I just wanted a little button at the bottom of the page, which would be named “Next page/Previous page”. Can it be possible ?
Thanks

Dear Cyza:

I have updated the article and please try again with the new method.

Hope this helps, thank you ;)

I just tried out this template and I’m diggin it. Great work. The only problem I’ve had is that I can’t get the quick edit icon to show up when I’m logged in. I may be missing something cause I’m no html expert.

alvaris,

thank you for this template, i really enjoy it! i have two questions though: even though i have changed the settings, the date does not show up on my posts. and also, i would like to change the color and font of my heading but cannot do so in the layout section. can you help me with this? thank you!!

Hi Wynsters the tigress:

Thanks for your words and praise!

About the date, you have to change ‘Timestamp Format’ to get it displayed.

To change the header’s font and color, find the codes below under ‘Edit HTML’ tab:

#blogtitle a, #blogtitle a:hover {font-family: Arial,Verdana; color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none;}

You can change the font by replacing the ‘Arial, Verdana’.

Also, you can change the color by replacing the ‘#ffffff’ value.

If you need colors’ code, you can download Color Picker from http://www.box.net/shared/tbh5zen0b1

Hope this helps and enjoy! ;)

Hi Alvaris!!!

I thank you for your support!
My e-mail is blog@andersonbrito.net
Sorry for my horrible english…
I’d just like to hide the header/comment…

A hug,

Anderson

I have this situation:

I have changed my blog layout to the green light you provide but know I cannot log in or log out, have access to the dashboard or alter anything…I can’t even post!

What can I do?

Hey, downloaded this and it looks great, but I noticed there aren’t places to plug all the pictures into in the xml…can’t find use for “admin,” “spacer” and “arrow”. Am I missing something or aren’t they all used?

Thanks, Alvaris! I got it installed last night and replaced move of my widgets and it looks great. I love it. Finally I have a blog I don’t mind looking at (and I’ve been at this since ‘05).

I do have another question now that it’s all installed. I notice I don’t have the links at the top of the screen that allowed me to make a new post, etc., and that the “Edit” link does nothing. Is there a way to fix this? Making a new post is suddenly a lot less convenient.

Alvaris, thanks again for your quick response. I didn’t want to mess with it myself. I’m emailing you my address right now.

Thank you, Alvaris! I’ve recommended Falcon Hive to everyone who visits my blog. Hopefully, you’ll have a few more visitors!

Thanks so much for this template! It’s rather beautiful, and I’d love to use it, but I can’t figure out where to add my links in the sidebar. I’d like there to be a list above the archive, but I’m css-challenged and so have no idea where things go. Help?

Is it possible to get rid of the “Author:” part that goes on each post… my blog is self titled – so it’s pretty obvious. I just cant figure out how to get it off!

Greetings,

I’m using the new blog template, and my limited skills in HTML / XML is proving quite helpful in playing around with it.

Thank you for the blog template.

Hi Erika Jean!

Oops, sorry that I forgot to tell you one more step.

Please access into ‘Layout’ and under the ‘Edit HTML’ tab, check the ‘Expand Widget Templates’, then you can find the code mentioned before!

Hope this helps and enjoy blogging ya! ;)

Hi Alvaris, your template is great, last week i downloaded the template from http://btemplates.com, but i did notice that has some problems, and today i download the template from your link, but i can´t configure the images, so i copy part of the new template code and i replace it on the old template, and it works well, i hope that this don´t upset you, if you want i can send you the new green-light.xml.

sorry for my bad inglish but im mexican

thanks for the excellent template!!

great Work
plz can u help me to modify the code that make me nagvigate between pages ..

thanks

Hi, first big-big thanks for this template, I love it!

But I have a problem – how can I add Date to the posts? I can’t figure out how to change Timestamp format (as you suggested in one comment). I’ve searched through html layout, tried changing some lines but nothing, no date for posts. I know a little about html etc but I can’t figure out what line I’m missing to make the date appear.

If possible, please help!

Me again :)
A little notice for those who want Date to be shown not with every post but only once for entire day. I don't know if code can be posted in comment but I'll give it a try.

You have to edit html for it:

First add this (you can change font and color if you want) right under .date part in the first part of the html:
h2.date-header {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 7px 0px;
text-align: left;
color: #c5bDb3;
font: normal normal 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

Then add this right under "< b:includable id='post' var='post'>" line:

< b:if cond='data:post.dateHeader'>
< h2 class='date-header'>< data:post.dateHeader />< /h2>
< /b:if>

(And delete spaces after every < , I had to add them so the comment could be posted)
Hope this helps :) The example can be seen in my blog: mutimoti.blogspot.com.

The bad thing is that I just discovered that I have managed to download version 1.03 of this template. And since I've made so many changes to it I just won't do it all again. Now I have to do some manual copy-paste :S

OM Gosh, I did something, or did not do something. Everything downloaded fine, I thought. I put the things into Photo bucket and did the links in the areas specified. I previewed it right before I put the spacer link up and it looked good, but with the info in the second column. So I saved it and then added the spacer. I received a message that it could not preview because of something not being closed. Separately, my internet explorer locked up and shut down. Now I am locked out of my dashboard so I can not fix anything… HELP

Hello Falcon,

I’ve been using this greenlight template of yours for such quite a long time already and I’m satisfied with it. Yeah, I do like it!

But sometimes there’s this problem which keep bugging me; the background (the white background) won’t appear and everything is grey. Well, it’s very disappointing because even after I refresh the page, it appeared the same. It would be a very great pleasure if you could just tell me what’s wrong with it so i could fix it on my own the next time it happen again.

My guess is that, someone hack it and did something with the template. Or could it be some virus? I don’t know, I’m not good with html and stuff. Because other people’s blog are okay. So, if you could just take a look, I would appreciate it very much. Please, I miss my old blog, huhu…

Thank you very much, falcon!!

I really like this blog template and I am looking forward to getting it working for my real blog, but first I need some help with some issues.

Issue #1:
Could you hook me up with that tutorial you mentioned earlier in the comment thread on how to add links at the top for new blogger post, sign in , sign out, etc?

Issue #2:
I tried to follow Mutt’s code for making the post date appear only once every day, but the second bit of code caused errors in Blogger’s parsing, I made sure to close the spaces after the < signs, so I’m not sure why it didn’t like it. Any help or clarification on this issue would be appreciated.

Issue #3:
While I really like the template, I notice that when the browser window is larger than the blog area, there is a dark gray vertical strip on both sides. Is there some way to achieve something green there instead, to be more consistent with the green blog theme? If this is not possible, is it possible to make the template layout stretch or shrink according to the size of the browser window?

I was able to take care of other issues simply by following directions on the comment thread. I hope you can help me with these additional issues.
