there was a violent preamble to this … he’s kinda manic

there is never such thing as instant death—not when time crawls when they lie bleeding. life is not snuffed—it is smothered.

sometimes he thinks this is the afterlife, or a prolonged vision before death. but he need only look at his chest right over his heart: the skin is gnarled and scarred.

most scripts need to be put in the global footer or something
pro boards style tag plugin doesn’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 i’m preeetty sure i put the script in the global footer and it fixed things

i don’t remember specifically what i did, but i don’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 you’ll want to insert your script after each instance. (it’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 just… put the script @ the bottom lol. window.onload = function script() {};
u shouldn’t need to put it after every instance of style_tag.init(). haven’t tested this out, but that just doesn’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 reception 
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 i’ve noticed is that animanga skins have become increasingly visibly complicated, rl site skins haven’t moved quite as far as animanga skins. like sure there can be pretty complicated set dresses, but it’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 that’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.)
i’d love to make a pre-made honestly, but it takes fucking forever even when i’m not adding bells and whistles just to code goddamn responsiveness into a skin 😭

also specifically for the animanga community, there’s not a ton of people who actively code skins. i’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. i’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. there’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
