I have a tumblr account that has submission enabled, and I have a short description with a form in the "description" area that appears on the sidebar. However, this description also appears on myblog.tumblr.com/submit. I'd like to remove it.
I looked at the documentation on http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_themes#navigation, but haven't been able to figure out how to prevent the sidebar description from showing at the top of the submit page.
Can anyone help?
I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly. But if I did, a work around would be using jQuery to check if the current url contains the string /submit and simply disable the sidebar, or the element that contains the description.
I don't know jQuery but I know it's possible. I'd suggest you to look into this post:
How to check if the URL contains a given string?
and combine it with this line (replace the "alert part")
$("#sidebardescription).hide();
Another solution would be if Tumblr provided you with a way to only render for specific pages. They usually do that. I'd look into this part {block:SubmissionsEnabled} {/block:SubmissionsEnabled} before I go with the workaround.

I'm trying to use markup tags to link to info pages within the "description" attribute of a product. However, it's not giving me a clean URL path when the description is printed to the page.
Trying:
Contact Us
does not give the expected url. I've confirmed i'm doing this outside of WYSIWYG mode too.
When the text is rendered is returned to the browser as this html:
Contact Us
A resulting click on the link then ends up as:
http://example.com/prod-category/my-product/%7B%7Bstore%20url=
From what I can tell the markup tags aren't designed to be used in this way. Is it possible to extend it so it could work? Otherwise I guess I need to include the actual URL in the description?
Thanks for suggestions.
You can´t use the double-curly syntax because the attributes value is not being processed by magento´s template filter, which does the magic. You can use them e.g. in CMS or email Templates out of the box.
I am validating against html5 and I know that the validator is not 100% but it even shows it should allow this in it's suggestion...
Ouptut:
Line 75, Column 92: Bad value home for attribute rel on element a:
Keyword home is not registered.
…bomb/" rel="home" title="beefbomb.com"><img src="http://localhost/local_folder…
It then tells me to take a look at the microformats wiki... http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values#HTML5_link_type_extensions
Which defines:
Keyword: home
Effect on a, area: Hyperlink
Brief description: …indicates that the [referenced document] is
the homepage of the site in which the current page appears. can be
combined with 'alternate' to indicate for example a feed for the site
of the current page.
Link to specification: rel-home
Why could this be?
Microformats aren't part of the official spec. A future ua could come along that decides to treat links with rel="home" on them as links to go to the homescreen of the device for instance, without going against the spec.
The warning is to ask you, "Have you done this for a reason, or by mistake?". If you know what you are doing and why, it's fine. If you decided to make up a new rel attribute for your own reasons, you get told that it's not in spec, but that a system already exists that uses it.
So I have a website that has just two pages. On the home page, there are some things going on, but are not important. There are some links, however, that will need to link to a specific piece of content on the second page.
On the second page, I have content on there and it's all encased in the jcycle plugin.
What I need to do is if someone is on the homepage and they click on a link, it needs to load up the second page and show the correct "slide" that corresponds to what the homepage link is.
If you need any more clarification, please let me know.
In the cycle options reference, I see that there is a startingSlide option. You could set that dynamically. You could either do it with server-side code, e.g. /foo?slide=3 or you could check which anchor reference was used on the incoming link, e.g. /foo#slide3. Or, you could use DHTML to build the slideshow on the homepage when they click the given link.
Also note that there is a slideExpr option that you could use to filter the slides to a smaller set, depending on what they selected.
I'll explain:
I have a picture gallery, the first page is display.php.
Users can flip through pictures using arrows, when you click an arrow it sends an Ajax request to retrieve the next picture from the db. Now I want the URL to change according to the picture displayed.
So if the first picture is:
www.mydomain.com/display.php?picture=Paris at night
I'll flip to the next one and the URL would be
www.mydomain.com/display.php?picture=The Big Ben
How do I do this?
The trick here are uri's with an anchor fragment.
The part before '#' points to a resource on the internet, and after normally designates to a anchor on the page.
The browser does not refresh if the resource is the same but moves to the anchors position when present.
This way you can keep the convenience of browser history from a usability point of view while replacing certain parts on the page with ajax for a fast and responsive user interface.
Using a plugin like jQuery history (as suggested by others) is really easy: you decorate certain elements with a rel attribute by which the plugin takes care of the rest.
Also kinda related to this topic is something called 'hijax', and it's something I really like.
This means generating html just like you would in the old days before ajax. Then you hijack certain behavior like links and request the content with ajax, only replacing the necessary parts. This in combination with the above technique allows really SEO friendly and accessible webpages.
You can use the jQuery history plugin for example.
changing the search of the url will load the changed url.

Do you really want to use AJAX here?
A traditional web request would work like this...
User navigates to display.php
User clicks "next" and location is updated to "display.php?picture=Big-Ben"
Big Ben is shown to user, along with a link to "display.php?picture=Parliment"
User clicks "next" and location is updated to "display.php?picture=Parliment"
And so on.
With AJAX, you essentially replace the GET with a "behind the scenes" GET, that just replaces a portion of your page. You would do this to make things faster... for example...
User navigates to display.php
User clicks "next" and the next image location is obtained using an AJAX request
The image (and image description) is changed to the next image
What you are suggesting is that you retrieve the "next url" using AJAX and then also perform a GET on the whole page. You would be much better off sending the "next" image when you send each page and not using AJAX at all.
this best describes everything i think: http://ajaxpatterns.org/Unique_URLs
I have a page that shows the main product for that page, next to it though are "related products" which when you click on them you go to their page, and they have their own related products as well. The problem is that the related products are getting indexed by Google so when you search for product-A you may get the product-B page where product-A is a related item, instead of just getting the product-A page. I am trying to prevent this. Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can add rel="nofollow" in any links you don't want a bot to crawl. In this case, you can apply that tag to all your links and google won't follow them off your main page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow
EDIT for clarification:
Page "A" is for widgets. You want this page to be returned for searches regarding widgets; on this page is a "related searches" section which links to Other Widgets. On all the anchor tags on page "A" which link to pages "B" and "C" (the related searches for Other Widgets), you'll put a rel="nofollow" tag. This will prevent Google from hitting page A and then following your "related searches" links off to pages "B" and "C".
This will NOT prevent pages "B" and "C" from being indexed on their own, it just prevents them from getting pulled in from page "A".
EDIT#2:
rel="nofollow" tells bots you don't want them to follow the link to the second page. Regardless of the anchor text on a link from A->B, if you've nofollowed it the bot won't "flow" pagerank to the linked-to page and should not follow the link to page "B" to index it due to that tag on the anchor. Note that this is not foolproof: Yahoo and other SE's may not treat nofollow like Google....so your best bet is to make sure that each page is strongly on-page-SEO'd such that it gets included in the index for the term you want it to be included for. Hope this helps...but like much of the SEO world there are few hard-and-fast rules which apply universally.
yes... put them at the bottom of the page for content,
if you want that to appear visually at the top of the page, use a css layout to re-arrange the page elements
also, as darksquid already said, add rel="nofollow" to links you don't want considered
another tip (pertaining to your comment on darksquid's post):
You could load the content via ajax, which would keep most search engine spiders from seeing it at all (since they don't generally execute javascript)
Use Google Applicance - googleoff / googleon Tags:
