SOLVED:'TEMPLATE ERROR: Invalid data reference post.canonicalurl: No dictionary named: 'post' in: ['blog', 'skin', 'view'] '

This error appeared on every individual post after adding facebook comments.

What was causing this was the facebook comments appearing twice in my xml.

<fb:comments colorscheme='light' expr:href='data:post.canonicalUrl' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id' width='600'/>

As well as...

And this was causing a conflict.

So I removed the fb:comments and -problem solved.

SOLVED: links not clickable when inside position:absolute of position:fixed div

I used to have this problem a lot.Links could not be clicked.I've done a lot of reading around the net-many saying it is a z-index problem and I should change its' value to z-index:1 or z-index:-111,etc.None of this worked.

Finally I found a very simple solution that works.It was a 'left' problem set to 100% in my css.What I did was change the 'left' setting changing that to a percentage and added a margin-left in pixels.Width or right should also be set to a percentage.

This is what my code looked like.

#yourcss{
left:555px;}

I changed that to a percentage- 50% and then set a margin-left.

#yourcss{
left:50%
margin-left:505px;
}

And that was hit the spot!!

code box in html

dddd

clickable map

Take a look at the image below.It is clickable!Play around a little bit.

You need this piece of code to create an image like the one above.

First copy this code and add it into you head section.

<script src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/e72eyj3cqi1yf1i/wz_jsgraphics.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/m5f0lfhltt2jgr9/mapper.js' type='text/javascript'/>

Then the html part.

Orange is the Url of your main image.Yellow are the coordinates and green is target url.

Where to get the coordinates.
The coordinates are of this form coords='x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3...'

Now where can one get the coordinates of a shape.

You can do that either manually with Paint by placing the cursor where you want and marking the coordinates.Repeat process until you get all of them.That way requires painstaking work.

The second way is by using a programm such as Photoshop or doing it online is websites like this.

big facebook share button

This piece of code creates huge share buttons on facebook like the one below.

1st part
First put this code in the head section of your template.

2nd part
Then this piece in your body section.I have noticed that if I put the css (the code between the style tags) in the skin section this causes problem with the comments box.I have no idea why.

<div id='fb-root'/>
<style>
.fb-share-button
{
transform: scale(3.5);
-ms-transform: scale(3.5);
-webkit-transform: scale(3.5);
-o-transform: scale(3.5);
-moz-transform: scale(3.5);
transform-origin: top left;
-ms-transform-origin: top left;
-webkit-transform-origin: top left;
-moz-transform-origin: top left;
-webkit-transform-origin: top left;
}
</style>

3rd part
The third part goes to where ever you want your button to appear.You can put the second and third at the same place.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div class='fb-share-button' data-type='button' expr:href='data:post.canonicalUrl' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id'>
</div>
</b:if>

Tweaking
Change the numbers in pink for size.
The code in yellow changes the language of your button.

Known issues.
If you already got a facebook comments box in your blog this conlifcts with your big share/like button it may not show at all.A solution that works for me is to leave out the <script> part and the<div id='fb-root'>.This code already exists in the comments code so you don't need to paste it twice.

Simplest way to add soundtrack to video file (ffmpeg)

Avidemux is a great program to process video but when it comes to sound it just sucks big time.I recently wanted to add a soundtrack to a video file.I struggled for hours,read extensively in various sites,tried every possible settings combination, but to no avail.Nothing worked.So I decided to give it a try with ffmpeg.

I am not a big fan of ffmpeg because it has tons of settings and commands you can need to learn and I wouldn't know what to do with most of them.So,I tried to find a command as simple as possible to join a soundtrack with a video file.And this what I came up with:

sudo ffmpeg -i videofile.avi vcodec copy acodec copy soundfile.mp3 output.avi

And that worked like a charm!

explanation of commands.
-i stands for input
vcodec is the video codec
acodec is the audio codec

Maybe it's time to switch to ffmpeg or so it seems.

custom fonts with css (@face-fonts command)

Want to embed your own fonts in your site to give it style or auto-load custom fonts for some exotic language?You can do that using css with the @font-face command.

In your <b:skin><b:/skin> section add the following code.

<style>
@font-face
{font-family: segoe script;
src:url('http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8sao0jcc1o6fjso/ufonts.com_segoe_script.ttf');}

p.segoe {
font-family:segoe script;
}
</style>

Replace segoe script with the name of your font and the url in purple with your url with the custom font.Dropbox is a very good place to upload your custom font.Other hosts may give you hard time with the custom font not displaying correctly.

Next add this code whereever you want the text to appear in your custom font.

Now ,whenever you open a <p class='segoe'></p> tag in your posts your custom font will load automatically within your tag.

Here is what my custom font looks like:

Segoe script custom fonts!

Taking it further
The same goes for all other tags like h1,h2,b and so on.Instead of p.segoe you can define a b.segoe or a h1.segoe and call it with class='segoe'>

You can even create your tags.For example in this page of mine,I wanted to preload fonts for the coptic language so that the visitor does not have to install them on his/her computer.

So I came up with the <cpt> </cpt>.You can use any name you like for tag ,just make sure it does not exist already in html or the language you are coding in.

Then the code will look like this

Now whenever I want to auto-load coptic text in my post I just put it between my new made cpt tags

For example you got a counter for your site that appears always on the left of the page looking completely out of place.You have no idea what to do to correct this and you do not to hire someone for such a simple task.Html is the answer.It will

Another important reason to learn Html is that it is rather easy to learn this clanguage in comparison with others.

How to make a table using html

Tables can be very useful in your site.For example you want to put to ads one next to each other.That can be easily done with the
tag.

The <td> s are lines and the<td>s are positioned within the same line. So if you want to put two ads next to each other just put the code of the first ad between <td>1</td> replacing the 1 with your code.For the second ad do the same replacing 2 with your code.

You can increase the number of the lines by adding <td></td> and the number of cells in each line using more <td></td> tags.
