Okay. Step 1: Create the theme layer. Paste THIS into it if you want tags at the top of the entry:

layerinfo "type" = "theme"; layerinfo "name" = "Edited Entry"; function Page::print_entry(Entry e) "The meat of each new layout. Describes how each page will look. In nearly all cases, the logic and decision-making processes should come from pre-existing functions in core2, and should not get written here. If you limit the structure of the page to HTML, function calls, and attached CSS, then you will be able to pick up all of the enhancements and accessibility requirements managed by core2." { ## For most styles, this will be overridden by FriendsPage::print_entry and such. $e->print_wrapper_start(); """<div class="header">\n"""; $e->print_subject(); $e->print_metatypes(); $e->print_time(); """</div>\n"""; """<div>\n"""; """<div class="contents">\n"""; """<div class="inner">\n"""; $e->print_tags(); $e->print_poster(); $e->print_userpic(); if ($*entry_metadata_position == "top") { $e->print_metadata(); } $e->print_text(); if ($*entry_metadata_position == "bottom") { $e->print_metadata(); } """</div>\n"""; """</div>\n"""; """</div>\n"""; """<div class="footer">\n"""; """<div class="inner">\n"""; $this->print_entry_footer($e); "</div>\n</div>\n"; $e->print_wrapper_end(); }

Compiled with no errors.

(Though I'd really like to have tags and mood together, and I even submitted a request for it to DW; that's why I even started trying to do it in a theme layer. But I'm going to follow you first.)

(JUST mood, or all the metadata?)

[aidadesigns]

If possible, just the mood. But I don't think I'd mind if it was all metadata. Well, maybe except crossposts. But it's just that I want as much control over placement of elements.

:|a Separating out the mood from the rest of the metadata is the tricky part. I have a partially-completed edit of Tabula Rasa that would let you choose where to put all the things and which put tags in with the other metadata to be styled the same way. But getting just the tags and the mood alone is a little wonky. I'll get back to you if I come up with anything!
