Description
LAST UPDATED: 22-Feb-2014The long awaited super secret customization tutorial is here today!
Lot of deviants have asked me for this tutorial and so here you go. I have kept it a secret for a long time now and finally releasing it to public. Not to deny that some of them did figure this out on their own and successfully customized their own profile widgets. Kudos to those who did!
Critiques are welcome

This tutorial has to be updated. The method mentioned in it doesn't work anymore.
I'll update the tutorial asap.

if you dont mind me asking, whats the update? i really want to do this it would perfect my page ;v;
the journals arent popping up for me//

CypherVisor In reply to Poichanchan [2014-02-05 12:58:00 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, exactly. The journals are now been blocked by DA. Only the people who have it installed in their pages before the blocking happened have the journals displayed.
Currently, there is another workaround to that.
Follow these steps:
1) Upload a literature deviation
2) Goto edit it
3) Then using sta.sh writer apply a journal skin
4) Now you can get the lit deviation displayed in your featured deviation and the journal skin applied will work normally

Hello again,
I read that journals cannot go in the featured deviation widget anymore. OnlyΒ literature.
So instead make a journal, now you should put a journal skin in a literature through Stash.
Hope this helps who is trying this.

I am sorry. Are you talking about the tut on the custom background of featured deviation widget?
π: 0 β©: 1
HunterX-v2 In reply to CypherVisor [2013-12-23 15:07:22 +0000 UTC]
Oh no, I'm talking about that no longer journal is allowed in featured widget. Β
Someone opened a ticket and DA confirmed that.Β
(But who already have it there, is ok -apparently)
I was able to put it in my profile 'cause I submited a literature with a journal skin. It appeared immediately in the widget.Β
Here:Β hunterx-v2.deviantart.com/art/β¦
The one that I send to journal (one month ago), until today doesn't show even with the search.Β
That could be why many people has problem to do this.
I was just trying to help, sorry

CypherVisor In reply to HunterX-v2 [2013-12-27 18:23:36 +0000 UTC]
Apparently, I believe that DA has restricted journals to be put in the featured deviation widget.
I just tried to install a new one and get a journal in it but no journals are showing up in the window (even with the search)
I have to decease this tut if it is confirmed then.

That's sad to hear. This way was so much easier to do. =/
I hope they change it back in the future
Thanks so much for you time, and sorry for any trouble
Happy New Year!

Sid
finaly the damn thing appeared in my featured deviation widget
but one small problem
when i code the custom box background in the widget, the journal itself dissapears and only the background appears.
see this below for clarity:
help?

CypherVisor In reply to aadisart [2013-12-18 10:10:02 +0000 UTC]
You need to use the z-index property to keep the journal body stack top of the custom bg. I have mentioned about this in the tutorial I believe.

Hi,
your tutorials are great!
I learned so much :3
Thank you! Β

What coud went wrong? Β

Sometimes it just takes little time to show up. Also, try searching your journal in the search box.

Try it out now and you should get it!
If not then try using the search function.
Let me know if you still face any issues.

Um... I'm trying this wonderful idea, but I don't see my journal in gallery. Will the yournal appear in "choose deviation" gallery soon? Or I made a mistake somewhere?Β
