How do I disable number count on photos posted with star aurora theme?

[kate]

Hi - I've got photos up on my site (which has star aurora theme) and they have numbers on the photos.

 

At first it was only when you hovered the cursor over a pic but now it seems to be that the photos just have a number on them permanently. Zero at the moment but I think its programmed to act as a counter for how many people view the pic?

 

Anyway, I want to disable and have no idea how! Any tips gratefully received! Kate

Can you give the link for your blog or for the theme?

[kate]

sure - my blog site is linked to www.kateadair.com

theme is here - http://www.tumblr.com/theme/32615

 

any ideas you have would be amazing

The number refers to the number of notes a post has. On Tumblr, a note refers to a social action, or as I'll try to explain it, "something someone has done with your post". Each time someone replies to your post, reblogs (shares on their own blog) your post, or likes your post or someone's reblog of your post, a note is added, and the note count goes up by 1.

The note count also appears on the dashboard (the page you see at www.tumblr.com), at the top-right corner. You can click the note count to see the actual notes (who has reblogged/liked/etc.).

Incidentally, you can also see the four buttons that Tumblr users can click to produce notes — reply (with text), reblog, reply with photo, and like. Note that not all social actions are available for all posts.

 

So, the reason your posts show a zero is simply because no one has reblogged, replied to, or liked your posts — yet.

I took a look at your theme. For this theme, you can hide the note count by putting the following in your Custom CSS. (Custom CSS is in Tumblr » your blog » Customize » Advanced.)

.photo_info {display: none}

thanks so much Sean, that's all so helpful!

Can you post a link to a page with the Install Theme button? It's easy to hide via CSS.

Hi both, thanks, this is what I was looking for too! Now, is there any way to take off the large 'Install theme' block as well? No problem to give the creator a link but this is quite heavy.

A basic caption block looks like this:

{block:Photo}

…

{block:Caption}<div class="caption">{Caption}</div>{/block:Caption}

…

{/block:Photo}

You can try looking for {Caption} in your theme code. If it's not there, then the theme's author didn't put any code to display the captions. You can add it yourself by inserting the basic caption block I wrote above in any appropriate place within {block:Photo}…{/block:Photo}.

Also, and this might be complicated, but any caption/text information attached to a photo post doesn't appear anywhere. Even when you link through, on the solitary post page, it's always just the image. I am moving over from an other theme, and each of my photos has a caption... I would prefer not to totally lose this. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello! I also use the star aurora theme and I have a question as well, for you Kate. How did you go about setting up your pages? The names of my pages are so close together at the moment and I like how yours are spaced evenly apart. 

[Sean Zhu]

Hm, her blog looks like it doesn't have pages at all to me. Where are you seeing the names of pages?

Or perhaps she removed them recently?

[Sean Zhu]

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong blog.

You can tweak the spacing of page links via CSS. The page links have class menu_item, so the CSS selector .menu_item will match each page link.  It looks like her blog is using:

.menu_item {margin: 0 15px;}

You can put that in your custom CSS box (Tumblr » your blog » Customize » Advanced) and play around with the value until you get something you like.

In CSS, margin: 0 15px is equivalent to:

margin-top: 0; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:15px

Also keep in mind that it might take a few minutes for Tumblr to update your blog's theme.

[Sean Zhu]

It's a good start! In fact, you can actually see the caption on the permalink page now!

The problem is that your theme never links to permalink pages: when I click an image, I get to /image/145783202 instead of /post/145783202.

I've added newlines and tabs to the part of your theme code in question:

{block:Photo}

<div class="photo">

<div class="photo_info">

<h2><a href="{Permalink}">{NoteCount}</a></h2>

</div>

{LinkOpenTag}

<img src="

{block:IndexPage}{PhotoURL-250}{/block:IndexPage}

{block:PermalinkPage}{PhotoURL-500}{/block:PermalinkPage}

" alt="{PhotoAlt}" class="main_photo" />

{LinkCloseTag}

</div>

{block:PermalinkPage}

{block:Caption}<div class="caption">{Caption}</div>{/block:Caption}

{/block:PermalinkPage}

{/block:Photo}

On your blog, for the first post, this renders as:

<div class="photo">

<div class="photo_info">

<h2><a href="http://onahidingtonothing.tumblr.com/post/145783202/piramide-del-sol-teotihuacan-mexico-june-2009">0</a></h2>

</div>

<a href="http://onahidingtonothing.tumblr.com/image/145783202">

<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/BxhsUtOsIq5lsbvfRHJfTUKco1_250.jpg" alt="PIRAMIDE DEL SOL, TEOTIHUACAN, MEXICO, JUNE 2009." class="main_photo">

</a>

</div>

I've highlighted the part in interest. It looks like {LinkOpenTag} is generating the /image/145783202 link, but {Permalink}, however, produces the link you want. (I marked some of the code in red because that's the note count stuff you've hidden via the custom CSS stuff described earlier in this thread. If you were to unhide it, you would notice that if you click the big 0, you'd get to the permalink page, which does have the caption.)

How to fix: If you want clicking an image to always take the user to the permalink page (which has captions), replace {LinkOpenTag} with <a href="{Permalink}"> and {LinkCloseTag} with </a>.

Hope that made sense and works!

But that didn't make the captions appear. The captions are all already added into the tumblr post (see attached), so don't know if this makes a difference?

Here's the link to the page: http://onahidingtonothing.tumblr.com/

And the theme is called 'Star Aurora'.

Thank you!!
