20250212-2300. Since yesterday, I was determined to make my audio bible project perfect. Unfortunately, I was trying to customized 66 individual templates, in which the audio block file and navigation menu override the normal header. But I saw that the system was VERY angry at me and refused to load my templates fast enough!
I knew right then and there that the customized templates are supposed to be few or none at all; since the theme’s default template should have sufficed. The current theme Blank Canvas really only has three templates: Index, Pages and Single Posts. I had to Add New Templates (All Archives, Page 404 and Search Results) to pick up where I believe the default Index doesn’t work. Then today I had NO choice again but to create a “Front Page” where we are now.
It’s 2309 PST and I got a Like from John Jr from my previous post about being happy with my weblog! Thanks! Actually, the bottom section of my “front page” was because I was thinking about how his Archives are located on the bottom of his front page, too. So I figured that I should borrow/copy/incorporate the layout in his honor. (Oh boy, Imma full of crap! But that’s just me. Haha!)
So, back to my audio bible project. All but three audio bible files are uploaded into their respective “book” pages. Then my coconut head wanted the Sticky position for at least the audio and the navigation menu with its drop-down menu selection for each individual verses! That’s crazy. But I wanted it so, thinking it would be convenient and faster to “jump” to the ID instead of hunting (scrolling up and down) for a particular verse, especially when I’m in a hurry while following along any “preacher”.
Yeah, so I ended up deleting all my customized bible templates and stuck the elements into a two-column layout instead of what was supposed to be a Sticky position dedicated into the Header above. It simply was too much work and I had to start over. I already have about 1/6th of the rework completed.
What I had to do was edit the Text version because Visual version did NOT have the hard-codes that I needed to Replace All the old text with the new text containing the ID’s for the Header and individual verses.
Yeah, sure, I could plug everything into a spreadsheet and convert it to a csv file and then upload it enmass via a plugin and into weblog site and over-riding the same old pages.
But after that is done, I would still have to manually pull-in the audio block file one-by-one and Imma NOT gonna do that again!
So that’s all for now as I continue to create MORE internal jump-links within the same page (at least) or the entire weblog site. I do NOT know for sure because I fail to read and absorb information from countless online documentations!
I made sure to copy OLD works and NEW ones, too. Because when I work fast/quickly, I tend to make errors. And that’s annoying but good practice to safeguard against missing data!
