For the left hand Navigation bar...
1. Can we turn the left hand vertical bar off an move it back to the top horizontal row of menus?
2. Can we hide certain menu items (I want to remove Adventure-log and Forums)
3. Can we rename certain menu items (Change Characters to Cast)
4. And finally can we add custom links. (Like say add a link that takes you to a certain wiki page)

Thanks in advanced for any assistance.

For a couple of of years, I was an Ascendant member, and I added a third campaign. Once I was no longer Ascendant, I couldn't edit or create new pages for "the third campaign":https://space-truckin.obsidianportal.com/.

I have since deleted one of the earlier campaigns, leaving me with just two campaigns again; however, I still cannot edit the pages of the (now) second campaign.

Do non-Ascendant OP users still get two campaign wikis, and if so, is it possible to 'unlock' my second campaign so that it can be edited again?

Does anyone know how to format your items so they look like this? It's not just a copy/paste from DDI, the info has been customized.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also had Google Maps at the bottom of each of my City Boroughs to show where each location was

Now, the Grooveshark embeds come up HUGE and the Google Maps won;t place right

I've removed the google Maps temporarily

However, I'd like to restore both to functionality.

Don;t want to scream for Vanguard help yet, as these are minor issues and I have my site pretty much restored

Any help would be appreciated

When I write I like to just keep moving. Occasionally I leave a wiki unedited and forget about it. I try to go back to fill them all out, but I inevitably miss a few. Is there a way to view a list of these? Or is my only option to copy and paste them onto my own list - which creates breaks in my speed writing.

Much cleaner and more modern. Obviously there are some growing pains, but that's to be expected for any "1.0" release.
I just had a quick question about the banner container height. I am trying to shrink the height to 180 pixels (slightly taller than my image). Here is my campaign site:
"Denizens of the Nentir Vale":https://denizens.obsidianportal.com
You can see that there is too much space between the banner and the top of the 3 sections. I've tried various CSS snippets from other posts, but nothing seems to shrink the entire banner container area. Here is my current css:

bc. /* Make my banner image honor its width instead of stretching */
.campaign-banner-image{ background-size: 900px; background-repeat: no-repeat; }
/* FAILED ATTEMPT: .campaign-public-layout #banner-container .campaign-banner-image {height: 180px;} */
/* Removes "highlights" and space above banner */
.campaign-public-layout .highlight-container {display:none;}
.campaign-public-layout #campaign-summary-row .row {opacity: 0.0; height: 0px}
/* Make the banner only show up on the first page. */
#banner-container { display:none; }
.campaign-landing-show #banner-container { display:block; }

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris

So I logged in to find that the site redesign had gone live and our campaigns OP very, very broken.

It can be found here:

From the Adventure Log to the Wiki, Items and 4 Column Wide Character layout, it's all pretty messed up. I spent quite a bit of time using my meager CSS skills to get it customized so now I'm looking to you Vanguards to see if it's even salvageable.

https://tbol.obsidianportal.com/

my game is still early so there isn't too much that i need to do. i just found that all my old code didn't work.

so, first questions, if i may.

1) how do i apply the Google fonts i picked out in ways that will be universal across the campaign?

2) how do i change the background of the main boxes (ie. Front Page, Wiki, Forum, Adventure Log, etc.) from white to an image i've uploaded?

let's start with that and see how far i can get with it. :)

Mine are all white I think because I have CSS code to change link colors and changing the main color in settings/style doesn't change anything.

I have stolen some code to change the nav bar text color but can't figure out how to apply it to the rest.

Instead I decided to use the awesome game icons found at "Game-icons.net":http://game-icons.net/. The following CSS will put an icon on each teaser on the adventure log page but hide it when the log entry is viewed in full.

@/* Sets a space for the icon in the teaser */
.teaser .adv-summary {
width:80px;
float:right;
margin:0px 0px 5px 5px;
border-radius:5px;
}@

If you don't actually want to hide the icon in the full log entry, change the following to something that highlights the icon to fit the style on your page:

@/* Hides the logo in the full log */
.full .adv-summary {width:0px;}@

I uploaded each image at full 512x512 size so that I can scale it down at will. I want to use these icons in other places eventually and keeping them in CSS will allow me flexibility to change icons en masse if I find a different scheme that I like more. The icons are all associated with characters here:

@/*Defines a different icon for each character */
.gm-logo {content:url(https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/assets/259169/bookmarklet.png?1383878258);}
.victrix-logo {content:url(https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/assets/259279/missile-pod.png?1383895868);}
.kavik-logo {content:url(https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/assets/258935/winged-sword.png?1383855555);}@

When you're writing a log, put the following line at the very top to insert the character logo:

You can see this in action at my "adventure log page":https://into-that-vast-expanse.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log where I'm just starting to implement it. Please excuse the haphazard styling all around; I'm still rebuilding from the Reforge and the campaign is a bit of a mess in places.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3406/quick-n-dirty-post-reforge-css-fix Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:15:56 +0000 Basileus 3406@/discussions
This is what I have cobbled together in a couple hours (minus my own campaign customizations), so I may expand it going forward, but will try to keep it generic (no fiddling with colors, effects, or custom graphics - just sizing, placement, etc...).

This should do the following:
* Restore pre-Reforge banner size
* Restore pre-Reforge page width/size, so that should help with much of the formatting errors from the narrower size (also aligns/resizes navbar and sidebar to allow for this, without having to use the minimized navbar icons)
* Eliminate some of that empty space and new, nonessential elements near the top.
* This will only affect the public-facing portions of your campaign (dashboard and such should not be affected)
* Adjust Characters, Items, and Maps pages to fit this layout
* Restore Pre-Reforge table appearance/functionality
* Restore pre-Reforge link behavior and colors

How to use:
* In your campaign, go to "Dashboard", then "Settings"
* Navigate to the "Style" tab
* Copy the lines below and paste into the "Custom CSS" section
* Scroll down and click "Save"

@/* RESTORES PREFORGE BANNER SIZE */
.campaign-public-layout #banner-container .campaign-banner-image {fixed; height: 300px; width: 750px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;}
/* REMOVES "HIGHLIGHTS" AND SPACE ABOVE BANNER */
.campaign-public-layout .highlight-container {display:none;}
.campaign-public-layout #campaign-summary-row .row {opacity: 0.0; height: 30px}
/* RESTORES PREFORGE TABLE FUNCTIONALITY */
#content table {background-color: transparent; border-style: none;}
#content tr:nth-child(even) {background-color: transparent;}
/* RESTORE PREFORGE LINK COLORS AND BEHAVIOR */
#content a:link {color:darkblue;text-decoration:none;}
#content a:visited {color:darkblue;text-decoration:none;}
#content a:hover {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}
#content a:active {color:darkblue;text-decoration:none;}
#content a:link.create-wiki-page-link {color:red;text-decoration:none;}
#content a:visited.create-wiki-page-link {color:red;text-decoration:none;}
#content a:hover.create-wiki-page-link {color:lightred;text-decoration:underline;}
#content a:active.create-wiki-page-link {color:red;text-decoration:underline;}@

For those who would like to restore just the aspect ratio, but the original banner will be blown up to cover the whole layout width, replace the first line with this:

@/* RESTORES PREFORGE BANNER ASPECT RATIO */
.campaign-public-layout #banner-container .campaign-banner-image {height: 440px;}@

Also moving the original code to resize page width to this separate area, since it can now be done in the campaign settings (Dashboard > Settings > Advanced > Content Max Width). This should be set to 1368 to achieve the old page width of 730 (which will preserve the current OP sidebar and navbar).

@/* RESTORES PREFORGE PAGE WIDTH AND BALANCES NAVBAR/SIDEBAR */
.campaign-public-layout #content {max-width:1100px}
.campaign-public-layout .main-content-container {width:730px; padding: 0px;}
.campaign-public-layout .campaign-landing-page-container {width:730px; padding: 0px;}
.campaign-public-layout .section {width:730px;}
.campaign-public-layout .post-main {width:730px;}
.campaign-public-layout .front-nav-container {position:relative; z-index:5; width: 185px}
.campaign-public-layout .sidebar {position:relative; z-index:5; width: 185px}
/* ADJUSTS CHARACTER, ITEM, AND MAP PAGES TO NEW LAYOUT */
.collapsable-nav-row .full-width.main-content-container {width: 900px; padding: 0px;}@

In our old system, I could click on a image in the list of images, and it would paste the url. such as:

bc. !http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/34925/Library.jpg(Library)!

It now pastes the image like this:

bc. !(media-item-align-none)//db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/assets/34925/Library.jpg?1295526539(Library.jpg)!

I was able, in the past, to then simply grab the image url, and paste it into whatever code I wanted to use, such as:

bc. background-image:url('http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/34925/Library.jpg');

How do I do the same using the new code? Does this make sense? Help please, because this is a major change and I am clueless as to how to use the new code to do what I want done.

I've got two campaigns that I'm a player in where the wiki links and character links buttons don't seem to do anything when you click on them. I asked two other players on different computers and different networks to try them out, and they aren't working for them either. Oddly, when the DM let me use his login, it worked just fine. It also works just fine for the other campaigns that I'm a player or GM in. I tried stripping out all of the CSS code, and even everything on the front-page just in case, for those campaigns in case something was interfering, but that didn't get it working either. Does anyone have suggestions of what might be going on? I'm really hoping this is a case of user error.

With that said I went to edit my Adventure Log and you have a light gray background for the text box with white text. This color scheme is extremely difficult to read. Please make one of them, the background or the text, darker so the text is easy to read and not a strain on the eyes.

Thank you.
