most scripts need to be put in the global footer or something
pro boards style tag plugin doesnโ€™t allow js iirc u.u
Oh, yeah, not on a post-by-post basis. You can stick scripts in pretty much any HTML template, though, so long as it's one that applies to the page you want that script to load on, and it'll almost always work - just with some weird interactions with any Proboards-built-in pagination content. :'c

The specific script I was trying to work with, though, wanted to interact with classes inside posting templates, so like member-posted content. The Style Tag Plugin must convert the psuedo-HTML you write into a post's content into real HTML at some point, since you can inspect it on browser and it'll show up like any HTML - so I was wondering, if the script ran after that conversion, if it could still work as intended. Buuuuuut apparently not. Unfortunately, I'm absolute TRASH with javascript, so I dunno if it's just because the order of operations was all out of whack (which is to say, if the Jcink script I was using was trying to identify HTML in a post that was still being read in psuedo-HTML), or if I'd messed up something when converting it for Proboards use, or if it was. Just. Something else entirely. *stares at hands*

All that to say: coding hard.


yeah i remember running into this problem and iโ€™m preeetty sure i put the script in the global footer and it fixed things

i donโ€™t remember specifically what i did, but i donโ€™t think i added any kind of listener. i mean i somehow got it to work for hoenn


OH WAIT I FOUND HOW I DID IT. go into plugins > build > style tag > components
and u can edit the javascript~

look for style_tag.init() and youโ€™ll want to insert your script after each instance. (itโ€™s a good idea to have your script in its own function so you can do this easily)


note tho i had both 2.2 and 2.1 of the style plugin but i seemed to have specifically gone w 2.1? idk why but yeahks kfls the picture here is style plugin 2.1. i'm wondering if it was just what the site had tho so it might also work for other version

another edit* in all likelihood u can probably justโ€ฆ put the script @ the bottom lol. window.onload = function script() {};
u shouldnโ€™t need to put it after every instance of style_tag.init(). havenโ€™t tested this out, but that just doesnโ€™t logic out lmao i was just new to js at the time zzzz

Script made specifically with Jcink in mind. Try to port it over to Proboards anyway, thinking maybe it'll play nice with the Style Tags plugin. To the surprise of literally no one, it doesn't - but I gotta heckin' try. ToT

i'll believe it when sites already doing that get a good receptionย 
until then we both writers and coders will suffer together <3
(more so the coders who've already put in effort but still get roasted by people who can only talk)
i've been chewing on this comment since last night and i think it's a good example of how the community has changed, not necessarily for the better. no one shares anymore. no one wants to make premades skins bc of just how time consuming they are, even without all the extra stuff that comes with custom/purchased skins these days. so i think a significant part of this is for people to stop...expecting all the bells and whistles all the time. like not every skin needs a custom fancy board mod, or a million extra templates made for the site. but it's all expected now.


so, what iโ€™ve noticed is that animanga skins have become increasingly visibly complicated, rl site skins havenโ€™t moved quite as far as animanga skins. like sure there can be pretty complicated set dresses, but itโ€™s not on the level of extra of say, multiple board designs that animanga tends towards. however, both rl and animanga have all started working towards more responsive designs, and i think thatโ€™s the culprit here. love me responsive design, but it can be a real slog to code. (i have to use brain cells and i dislike using brain cells.)
iโ€™d love to make a pre-made honestly, but it takes fucking forever even when iโ€™m not adding bells and whistles just to code goddamn responsiveness into a skin ๐Ÿ˜ญ

also specifically for the animanga community, thereโ€™s not a ton of people who actively code skins. iโ€™ve noticed a lot of design trends largely taken from leap who has always incorporated a flair of complex designs. iirc rlly fancy alternate board designs were at least popularised by leap, if not first done by them. leap tends towards these very pretty but complex skins which a lot of coders have taken insp from and has kinda become a staple of the animanga style so to speak

my internal screaming because i just want to ask an "hey is [xyz thing] even possible to do in a skin" high-end jcink coding question but both of the main jcink resources force their coding help boards to use forms + don't have a place to otherwise ask coding questions :skull:


jcink resource discords are generally better for asking questions. iโ€™d direct you to the Coding Camp or the JCINK skinathon/community discords. i can give you invites for both, but i suspect looking up the names + tumblr + jcink should find you links. thereโ€™s a lot of active ppl around and the coding camp has the forum feature so you can make a thread asking for help w/o risking it getting buried in chat history

Anyone else take the same base code from the older codes you've made and just change the dimensions to what you wish so you can skip like half the work

Also wish I was confident to learn enough on how to skin.


i believe in u ^-^
the hardest part of skinning is honestly having to go back and change ur html to work w jcink lol i think itโ€™s more tedious than difficult tho

i really wish that sites would stop using webpages, google sheets/docs, and/or javascript codes for site lore and claims. i get that they look pretty and are low-maintenance, but they're so not mobile-friendly, to the point of bordering on an accessibility issue


this is very much not the problem w the concept itself but the execution of most skins being typically not mobile friendly. your mileage may vary for google sheets/docs lol but the others can be made mobile-friendly.

actually the thing iโ€™m currently a little frustrated about is the recent trend of memberlist isotope filter. as much as i love them, adore the modularity of search, etc etc, when you have a ton of them on one page loading it just does not work on mobile b/c of how long it takes to load.

i do think i can say that many popular scripts o used are not designed with performance in mind however โ€” or the amount of input going into them โ€” and this is very much a coding issue.

cece: val is such a mess
also cece:

โ€œval,โ€ she says, though it sounds more like a growl. she glares at the offending hand.

pray tell, who gave him the right to treat her like an unruly dog? somewhere fun.

โ€œdonโ€™t fuck around.โ€

she pulls her hand away.

(whatโ€™s on her knuckles, god knows. she fights in her sleep. can hardly remember them anymore.)

they would ask him what is it that you want, and he had entertained for a time that maybe he would become a jeweller. if he could be anything, he would be bright.

but now heโ€™s a soldier, the egress of innocence, and he keeps a dagger on him at all times as all good soldiers ought. all the practices of a good soldier and none of them have made him an assassin. he is still a child playing pretend with pointy swords, and he dreams like one. graceless and constantly fumbling, the stars he hangs are blinding. he still wants to be that of a little star thing. he lives his life in the dark, stretching greedy hands out to snatch starlight from the sky. breaching the night for what of a taste, even transgressing what should be hisโ€”whatever alights.
