That will keep me busy for a few days . After that work will be done , i will consider adding 2 MOAR miniguides i've been working at , and then i will probably stop playing this game for a while . i'm starting to get bored and i need to play something else to clear my mind .


at least one part of those above came true in almost 2 weeks (the Slark and Britney Spear miniguides ) ... (real life is still keeping me very busy) . i hope i'll get some time to finish the rest of what i said i'll do by the end of this month

Chuck I've added a pair of bbcodes that can be helpful to us guide writers in allowing our readers to navigate long threads.

Code: Select all

[navlink={text}]blablabla[/navlink]

The navlink code is the place where the user will click. The name of the link is inside the tags. The {text} parameter is the ID of your link, which tells the browser where to go.

Code: Select all

[navtarget]{text}[/navtarget]

This is the place where the user will jump to on the same page once he clicks the above link. You must use the same {text} parameter (letters and numbers) that you used above.

Of course every such bbcode pair must have a unique {text} parameter.

Take a look at your guide number 40 - britney spear. I have edited your contents post and the actual guide post to provide you with an example of this in action, in case you want to implement it. Cheers.

that's a very nice feature :D i was thinking a while ago about how nice would such a feature be to avoid running trough a wall of text and go straight to what you want to see .

now i am thinking about letting all of the miniguides visible instead of using the [spoil] function to make the compilation more compact . that would also help some users when using the search function to find things inside the compilation (it doesn't find anything inside [spoiled] content - or maby something can be done to fix that (-: )

thank you very much for sharing this with me . i will make sure to use that feature in the next days when i will have some spare time to take care of the compilation . :thumb:

Image this is for you :D

i've added the quick links in the table of contents at every miniguide for faster navigation . you just have to click on the links and you will jump straight at the miniguide you want to see instead of scrolling trough the wall of text :)
