Seen the amazing work Dimitris has delivered recently? The last two weeks were filled with various features and enhancements, along with new content! After collecting votes from several Discord community polls, Dimitris has heard and deployed the peoples’ choices. Here is the development update rollup for the last half of August!

Presentation Mode: Organization Trees

Go crazy with relational trees and show off all sorts of info with this, from family clans to technological evolutions. The possibilities are endless! Also, this feature is available to all guild members! 

If you’d like to customize the style of your organization tree, use the CSS code template below!
.orgtree li::before{ 
     border-top: 1px solid #888; 
} 
.orgtree li::after{ 
     border-top: 1px solid #888; 
} 
.orgtree li::after{ 
     border-left: 1px solid #888; 
} 
.orgtree li:last-child::before{ 
     border-right: 1px solid #888; 
} 
.orgtree ul ul::before{ 
     border-left: 1px solid #888; 
} 
.orgtree li a{ 
     border: 2px solid #888; color: #666; background: #f7f7f7; 
} 
.orgtree li a:hover{ 
     background: #2f404e; color: #fff; border: 2px solid #94a0b4;
} 
.orgtree li a:hover+ul li a{ 
     background: #2f404e; color: #fff; border: 2px solid #94a0b4;
}

Quick Article Deletion

This feature was implemented after an overwhelming “YES” vote from the community. Delete articles with a two-click confirmation without changing page from the articles list! Article cleanup feels less daunting now. 😀

Anchor.fm Embedding

Ever wanted to embed an anchor.fm podcast? Well, now you can! Use the following BBCode below to embed wherever you want in your articles!

[anchorfm:EMBEDURL]

Custom call to action

For Inner Sanctum+ Guild Members who have access to passcode protect articles, you are able to also customize your call to action!

Mouseover Snippet Enhancement

If you read our last development rollup post, you’d have learned about the new Article Tooltip/Moseover Snippet feature that was already deployed for our guild members! Dimitris even expanded on this feature in this blog post! To make this feature’s experience better, you can now control and customize what appears on the mouseover of your articles. Use the “Mouseover Snippet” section to define what the reader will see. If you add anything in this field, the new content will override the regular cover, title, and vignette.

Quality-of-Life Enhancements

  • When selecting Parent Location for Landmarks, Settlements or Geographic locations in Explorer, you can now choose any of the 3 as the parent. That means you could have Buildings under Cities under Regions!
  • The Characters menu item on the lefthand side is renamed to Character Profiles 
  • Introducing a new theme: Stranger Worlds by Oneriwien!
  • You can now disable the Userway accessibility widget here if you so wish.
  • The sidebar menu is now aware of active worlds/characters. If you log in and are in the dashboard, it will automatically open up to give you quick access to your world/character‘s pages.

Finally…FYI!

For guild members only, you are no longer able to preview your draft articles in both the presentation and the explorer (even those of your co-authors) without the ?preview=true.

Phew! That’s all we have for the development update rollup for now. Check back again under Development News at mid-month for another rollup of updates for September! Until then, let us know in the comments what feature you’re excited about!
