Thanks! I'm duly hunbled by the recognition!

Not knowing what the limitations are that restrict you to e.g. 10 numbers, I really can't... My thinking will be on whether I will be using the OP maps functionality or to fully prepare them in photoshop.

@thaen thanks for the update. Colour coding would work, but is quite unfriendly to the colour blind out there. Anyway, I'll give some more thought to my strategy here.

@kallak - I looked at copying html from the maps page over to a wiki page. However since the map page relies on the use of iframe and javascript I take it that is never going to work. I am still intrigued by your comment regarding using the image fi…

I'd say up to 30 would suit most of my purposes.

.... I'm afraid I'm not sure I entirely follow. But I'm starting to suspect that if I want the wiki format that I will have to prepare the maps off-line. Time to dig into css to figure if zooming and scrolling can be done in pure css.

Thank you Frank, glad you liked it! Regarding the button images, I agree. I want to parse down the amount of stuff on the main wiki pages to primarily large buttons. There is still too much text. Also the buttons right now have the text added in the…

Thanks for the feedback! I do have a few questions to make the most of it. Font: Are you talking about the landing page (which is more of a stylistic choice, I do realize that is not the best for legibility), or the other pages? If the latter, wh…

Thanks Thaen, I understand your thoughts/considerations. And yes, that helps.

in The "Review my Campaign" thread October 2020

I'm preparing to reboot my Pendragon campaign, https://knights-of-the-realm-1.obsidianportal.com/ Since I'll be doing some updates to include features that were preciously unavailable (e.g. accordions) and possibly be including some PBP aspects as w…

Thanks for the quick response! I'll try and larify where my original question probably wasn't clear enough. Generating lists etc from the database In the Campaign Settings, Advanced tab, there is a checkbox that says "Separate player and non-player…

in Absolute Killer Feature: Backlinks (What links here?) October 2020

I want to add that I would love a 'what links here' section at the bottom of a page. Even better if there were css tags to split e.g. characters and wiki pages so that I can style them in different ways? Since it is somewhat related, I'm copying wha…

in How are things these days? October 2020

You're welcome! For comparison/shits and giggles, this is one of the mediawiki campaign sites I set up. It is a tonne more work than customizing an OP site, so now that OP is looking much more stable again I would not go down that road anew. One th…

in There is a MASSIVE elephant in the room! October 2020

I have been playing primarily online for at least 5 years now - ever since one of our players moved to a different country and about 2,000km away. We have mostly been using Roll20 + discord (discord for voice, roll20 for visuals, character sheets an…

in How are things these days? October 2020

Well, I've never been truly gone-gone... But the past few years I've been running my campaigns using a mediawiki that I heavily customized. Now that I'm looking at breathing new life into my Pendragon campaign (https://knights-of-the-realm-1.obsidia…

No problem. I'd be able to help more if you'd consider using textile.

Well, again it's easy to do in css. use the border property.

But doesn't hitting 'edit ' as a player immediately shows the hidden div?

Congratulations UTM and well done to all the runners up!

in Rendering tags on icons July 2017

DOH! I never thought about that. Here I was thinking perhaps the portal was blocking them somehow. Thanks for clarifying! Overall looks like the current method is the most practical, and it gets me the result I wanted (nice icon titles without havin…

in Rendering tags on icons July 2017 edited July 2017

Progress! I realized that the 'title' attribute does not have the limitations that ID does, and it makes much more sense to use title anyway (since it IS a title). I would like to use the image title, but for some reason img:before refuses to work (…

in Getting a number of 502 Bad Gateway Errors July 2017

Where I only saw intermittent cases before, I now cannot clear it with a reload. And no response to my ticket other than the robot response.

in 10 maps, Is 10 maps for all your campaigns total ? July 2017

Agreed, I prefer that to the rather clunky maps implementation.

in Stop unused navigation items from taking up space June 2017

Thanks, that got me where I needed to get! I included the below in my css and it works for the dashboard and the other pages now. #dashboard-main-nav li.section.forum, #campaign-nav li.forum{display: none;} #dashboard-main-nav li.section.calendar…

I did not see this error before today - but multiple times today.

in Trouble with tables June 2017

Guess so! Just made a small test page, and indeed the colspan gets stripped out if I enter raw HTML. Annoying and just plain silly, but there it is.

in Trouble with tables June 2017

I'm not sure how you're editing (are you using textile or the newfangled editor?) but when I look at the source code of your page, the rowspan did not make it into the actual website code. I'm GUESSING it's something to do with the newfangled editor…

cgregory I've been making extended use of the rowspan and colspan in textile? E.g. the tables in https://knights-of-the-realm-1.obsidianportal.com/wikis/battle-system-amended In textile, the first table looks like this: |_/2. |_\4=. Player Roll | |…

It'd help if you'd copy the actual code or (even better) link to an example page on your campaign?
