Modules are meant to provide styles with flexible methods of rearranging ancillary content and providing features to styles like page summaries, link lists, tag lists, layout credits, and calendar summaries. Users can rearrange the order and showing of modules in the wizard customize area instead of editing the style.

Containing classes

Modules can be found in the following page sections:

• div.#secondary>div.inner
• div.#tertiary>div.inner

div.module-wrapper

Inside the div.inner class.

div.module-section-one or div.module-section-two

Within this there are specific classes for different modules:

• div.module-photo
• div.module-user-links
• div.module-about
• div.module-navlinks
• div.module-calendar
• div.module-syndicate
• div.module-pagesummary
• div.module-time
• div.module-powered
• div.module-userprofile
• div.module-tags_list
• div.module-pagesummary
• div.module-search

h2.module-header

Not all modules have this.

• Affects: Titles of module sections such as Tags, Page Summary, Syndicate, etc.
• Other information: h2.module-header a refers to those items that are links instead of pure text.

.module-content

This affects the content of modules such as tags list, links list, free text, about section, page summary. .module-content a refers to those items that are links instead of pure text.

Specific modules

Lists

If a module contains a list, such as .module-navlinks, .module-tags_list or .module-pagesummary, it is laid out thusly:

ul.module-list

li.module-list-item

.module-calendar

Inside its .module-content, there is a table with:

• td.empty-day -- a day that didn't have any posts and thus has nothing in it.
• td.entry-day -- a day that has posts; this means there will be a linked number inside the post.

If the calendar is displayed horizontally, there is no table but you can use similar classes:

• .empty-day
• .entry-day

.module-time

Inside its .module-content:

• span#load-time -- contains the time the page was loaded.

.module-powered

• span#site-branding -- contains "Powered by Dreamwidth Studios"

.module-tags_list

After the ul.module-list, there might be this:

• div.manage-tags-link -- contains a link to the manage tags page, if the viewer can has the appropriate permissions.

Also note that the list items here have tag visibility classes.

.module-search

Contains div.search-form, inside is the form.

.search-box is the text entry. .search-button is the submit button.

No header modules

These modules have no headers:

• .module-photo
• .module-user-links
• .module-about
• .module-navlinks
• .module-time
• .module-powered
