When I add the opening exp tag:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}” orderby=“date” sort=“desc” limit=“5” disable=“member_data|trackbacks”}

my design breaks.  You can see the before and after pages here:

before:

after:

Please Help!!!

It looks like you put the {exp:weblog} tag around your “content” and “main” div, while it should only wrap the “post” div.

<div id="content">
        <div id="main">
            <div class="post">

You sould only warap the part you actually want to repeat, something like this should probably work:

{exp:weblog:entries ....}
<div class="post">
    <span class="month">sept</span> <span class="day">15</span>
    <h1><a href="/">{title}</h1>_    _    posted in <a href="/">Category</a>    
tags: <a href="/">Tag1</a>, <a href="/">Tag2</a>, <a href="/">Tag3</a>
    
    <div class="body">
    {summary}
    
    {body}
    
    {extended}
    </div>
    <div class="meta">
    posted in <a href="/">University Meets</a> on <strong>September 15, 2007 at 5:14 pm</strong>
    </div>
</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Thank You!!!

You’re welcome.

Great looking website 😊

Althought you might also want to take care of some of these errors…

hi all,

hoping someone will read this and chime in. i’m having somewhat the same problem. only it has to do with shoving content down in a table. because of the way i’m calling to the entries i have to wrap each <td> in it’s own {exp}. here’s the code and a url to the page that breaks and to the page w/o the {exp} code…any ideas on how to fix?

the broken page

the layout as i want it to be

and the offending code:

<div id=“content”>

<!—Home Page Headline #1—>

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="home" url_title="home_page_headline_article_1"}

<h1>{headline_title}</h1>
{site_url}images/uploads/{headline_image}
{headline_summary}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

<!—Home Page Headline #2 - 4—>
<table>
<tr>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="home" url_title="home_page_sub_headline_article_2"}
<td>{site_url}images/uploads/{headline_image}

{headline_title}

In pulvinar, lorem dictum laoreet dapibus, tellus justo porttitor enim, et ultrices elit libero sed tortor. Proin egestas lacus ut arcu. Proin sapien mauris, mollis vel, egestas et, sodales et, erat.

any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

ok. see that i can clean up the code using entry id from and entry id to, but i’m still getting the content pushed down - that’s why i did a table!! any thoughts would be great!

It might be easier to help if we saw the CSS… but you might check your h2 tags first - when I used Firebug to inspect it, it seems as if you had paragraph tags inside your h2 tags. Try removing those and see if that helps. Also, if you’re not floating anything (which I didn’t see), I don’t *think* you need the clear:left in your table data cells. I could be wrong on that though…

hi punt…thanks so much for responding. link to the css below. and i viewed the source code (forget that this is how i can see how ee is effecting the page) and see the offending tags. i just now changed the field from text input with a default formatting of xhtml to none and that removed the tags, but still the columns are pushed down…i’m going to create a <td> class with zero’d out margins and padding - see if that helps. any other ideas are much appreciated. (you’ll find the table style defined under “content cover page css” below).

here’s the full css

thanks!

btw, i think you’re right that i shouldn’t have to clear anything since there are no floats - i did a table - ok…i’m a loser! - because i didn’t want to have to hassle with ie float bugs, but perhaps i was mistaken in my assumption that the table would make it easier!!  😉

hi punt, figured it out. created a <td> style with vertical-align:top;

ah, it’s the little things! thanks for all the help!

Sorry, just got back here - but I’m glad to see you got it all figured out OK!

😊

yup! still have bunches of other stuff to figure out, but this one little piece of the puzzle has been solved!!  :cheese:
