When you added the customization, did you create the layer yourself or did you add code in the 'Customize Journal Style' section of the Journal Customization pages or link to an external style sheet?

Typically, new code should not be added to a 'user layer', but to a 'theme layer' if it is meant to alter the style of the journal and you've created the layer yourself.

If you added the custom CSS via the Journal Customization pages, you should edit the CSS there or in the style sheet.

If you created the layer yourself, you may need to recreate it as a 'theme layer' and delete the 'user layer' in order to be able to make future updates.

It is a theme layer (as you can see from the layerbrowse URL above), which I created myself using the layer editor, by writing S2 code for the print_entry function that you can see listed at the layerbrowse URL.

Unfortunately we are not authorized to view this layer.

I don't see an option to make the layer public, or anything in the FAQ about that. Perhaps it can be done with some code in the layer itself, but pressing Save when the editor is blank doesn't sound like a good idea to me. :-) At this point I'd just like to retrieve the S2 source if at all possible. Here's hoping someone for whom layer permissions don't matter can look at this.

Below is the information that will make the layer public:

By default, your S2 layers are privately owned and viewable only by you. If you want to make the source code of a layer available to others, you will need to add the following line near the top of the layer code:

        layerinfo source_viewable = 1;

Public layers can be incorporated into any Paid account's custom S2 style, providing the user knows the layer ID number. To make a layer public, add the following line near the top of the layer code:

        layerinfo is_public = 1;



Alternatively, can you take a screenshot of the layer code box the way it looks to you so Support can attempt to troubleshoot?

Screenshots at http://chris.boyle.name/images/20090215-layeredit.png and http://chris.boyle.name/images/20090215-layerbrowse.png - note that layerbrowse shows a print_entry function, which is missing along with everything else in layeredit.

As for adding layerinfo lines, as I said, I'm reluctant to press Save while the editor is blank (or blank apart from layerinfo lines), unless you can specifically reassure me that this will somehow not lose what is left of my layer (I don't see how it could be safe).

Hmm, I wonder how long this has been broken; here's a seemingly identical ticket from 19 Sep 2008: http://www.insanejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=2808

Are you able to view the raw source code using the link on the layerbrowse page? That would give you the source code to enter in the edit screen.

If the data is not there, please reply to this message for additional help.

As I said in my initial message, the raw source and syntax highlighted source are both blank as well.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Is this still happening after the servers have been moved?

Yes, the source for that layer is still completely missing/blank. I checked by all of the methods mentioned in my original request. layerbrowse.bml still shows the presence of a print_entry function and the layer is still rendering fine on my journal.
