Character wiki items links

weasel0

PreReforging (:p) we were able to do things like:

bq. a.character:visited,
a.character:link
{color:darkRed;}

bq. a.item:visited,
a.item:link
{color:green;}

and separate in a post the various things by color. I've tried a number of different ways to do it:

bq. .main-content a.wiki-content-link:visited,
.main-content a.wiki-content-link:link
{color:blue;}

and "a.wiki-page-link", ".wiki-page-link" and other variations but can't get color changes to function. ".main-content a" ".a" and variations do work but I'm trying to get the old separations not generic site wide changes. Any ideas? I've looked at others campaigns and didn't see anyone else doing it but I may not have just happened upon the right campaign. I did a search and came up with nothing for this. Am I the first to notice? Could I just not find the existing help? Should I open a ticket under suggestions?


a.wiki-content-link seems to be for characters and for items
a.wiki-page-link is wiki pages
a.create-wiki-page-link DOES have a different color

I have very limited understanding of CSS but for colour changes by paragraph I use this method (take out spaces to get the actual code)

e.g. % { color:red } RED %

No Spaces: %{color:red}RED% (In your wiki, the word RED should be coloured red if you do this)

yea, I've used textile formatting in the campaign forums while trying to use it as a PbP area. Helped to differentiate between IC, %{color:green}OOC%, and various actions that were on going.

I'm definitely looking at a CSS solution here instead of having to hard code each link a particular color. Especially with hyperlinks normal ability to color change for unused link, visited, hover, and other things one ought to be able to control.

If I understand what you're trying for here, you want to give a different color (or whatever) to links depending on if they point to an item, a wiki page, or a character? That used to be dead simple, because links got tagged with a class depending on what kind of page they pointed to, but that changed in the reforge. It's still simple though, if a little less intuitive:

bc. /* Colors all links to an address with /characters/ in the address red */
a[href*=\/characters\/]{
color:red;
}

You can swap out the word "characters" for "items" as desired, of course.

Note that you can get false positives if you have links to outside sites that happen to have that in their address somewhere, but that's kind of an obscure edge case.

*Blasphemy, in this very thread! Let them be anathema!*

ChainsawXIV to the rescue again. You're awesome.

Basileus....don't you have some 502s to go stare at? :-P

UselessTriviaMan

Holy CRAP that's handy. Thank you!!

Basileus

LOL, sadly I don't use the site itself much anymore. Mostly I just dwell in the forums these days... festering in the shadows...

This is what I use, and it works fine.
a.character:link {color:darkRed;}
a.item:link {color:green;}
a.place:link {color:blue;}

Then each link we just add class="character" or place or item
It is located in our "CSS":https://a-god-rebuilt.obsidianportal.com/wikis/css

heh heh. I'm pretty sure where I "found" my code Killervp.

I've not used classes before so I'll have a look/see at your on page coding but ChainsawXIV's fix fits more of what the wiki used to do Pre-reforging.

Well B, you should get Outremer up and running again so you _can_ use the site more!
...And so I can use it more as well. I'm really in need of a game again.

P.S. - I'm still waiting on the results of that Mechanics roll!

Basileus

Mae, I'm drawing out the dramatic tension. Anything could happen!

You know though, a month or two ago I wouldn't have been in a position to do it, but my health has been improving by leaps and bounds (the right medication will do that!), and work is relatively quiet (as work goes). Maybe now is a good time. I need to make a checklist of whats needed to get things rolling again.

Maesenko

Well, I remember I was rolling to cut the power...I didn't realize my roll of 7 was successful enough to cut power to the game itself!

Tumbrel will be willing to pilot the company out of there, as long as we didnt smash our original transportation.

He thinks its fine, not so much the bad guys we broadslided over.

I would love to see a revival of Outremer as an outsider- enjoyed some of those logs...
