ARG, I can't get the "only communities" override to work :(

Isn't this right :( ?????
(I took out the code elements that wouldn't allow this to display)

here is the link that has the exact code you need:
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=howto&keyword=Adding+Navigation+Links&filter=all

what is your journal style? make sure you are using the right one.
You also have to remember to have a personal page already specified in your personal info section. If you don't have a personal page you can use one of the links (either communities or friends) as your personal page.

the other thing you have to make sure to do is do an override for each section of your journal. the "LASTN_WEBSITE" tag will make the links show up on your last entry page, but then you have to put the same code in the override section with these tags too: CALENDAR_WEBSITE, DAY_WEBSITE and FRIENDS_WEBSITE.

i don't know how to make it so my code doesn't start coding itself, if you know what i mean, or i would post what i have. i have a feeling you might be using code for the wrong journal style though, because that looks just like my code and we have different journals.

It's funny, because I swear it was working this morning! As you can see if you click on it, the just communities link goes to a page, but it doesn't have any posts on it.

I doublechecked the style, and that was right, maybe I'll try a different one, just in case there is a glich.

oh oh oh, i know what it is!! i think. you have to have your communities on your friend's list, so they show up. I did that too, i was a member of some communities but i didn't have them on my friends page because they overwhelmed it. so i went back and rejoined them all and made sure the "add ___community to my friends list" was checked. this is why you need to have a just friends, and a just communities link. Your normal friends list will have EVERYONE. does that make sense?

You know, I thought that might be it - but I saw that you didn't have them on your friends list so I then I thought they didn't have to be! I'm going to try that now.

You are so awesome for helping me like this!!!!

ah, you may have looked before i added them to the friends list. they are all there now. hope that does the trick.

also i found it helpful to clear out all my cookies, because it kept reloading old pages when i went to test. so i decided to start from fresh and clear the cache.

okay, here is my code for my journal (which is the puquin style or whatever). I replaced the < and > with ( and ).
