Ok so here is a example of the iframe code



I tried converting it to Object code just incase OP can use object with this code



But all I got was

in the text area.

Anyone have any ideas?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1683/colspan-or-equivalent Sun, 19 Dec 2010 03:28:52 +0000 TheSouljourner 1683@/discussions
Table Title
Col1 | Col2
Col1 | Col2
Col1 | Col2
Col1 | Col2

Colspan doesn't work, I think it's getting stripped out.
I tried using Divs, but they seem to always want to anchor to the left side of the window they're in. Spans don't seem to acknowledge the width attribute in their style.
Any help would be appreciated.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2582/removing-a-wiki-page-title Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:21:29 +0000 Shane_ 2582@/discussions
If I want to hide the large page title that appears at the top of every Wiki page, is there a simple way to do this? For example, I want the words "Main Page" to not show up on my main wiki page.

Thanks!

Basically I would love to have a character who has some basic bio info for the players, and a full character sheet only visible to the GM.

Is there a way to do that? Thanks!]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2852/gm-only-characters-visible-to-party Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:53:44 +0000 BovineLord 2852@/discussions
And before someone gives me the suggestion that I simply delete the characters altogether, I'll get this out of the way right now: Forget that noise. These are characters that have a lot of story to them, and I'd rather that their stuff was up on the Portal for me to be able to access, change, and type. It just bothers me that all of my players can see the names. If they can't read the material anyway, and they are GM-only characters, why are they're names even there?

Thanks for any help that anyone can offer on this, I seriously would like to see this change.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2843/character-portrait-help Mon, 24 Dec 2012 13:30:42 +0000 mavfan21 2843@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2853/links-in-forum-posts Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:55:34 +0000 DamienMaster 2853@/discussions

On my site, I've done up Custom Character Sheet screens. I'm not using the built in OP one as I'm not using CSS too heavily (my game starts in a few weeks and not enough time to redo the entire site).
Anyhow, my players (or myself and then transferred them to their players) have entered their characters through the normal OP means, so, they are listed in the OP Box on the right (ie Andromeda Spiradakos by Elvathadrin). What I'd like to do is change it so if someone clicked on the PC Name in that box, was taken to my custom sheet, rather than the OP sheet. Anyone able to helpo?

As always, thanks. This is the best community to work with by far.

Peace and Long Life,

I'm a brand new user, I just started getting set up about ten minutes ago, and I think I may have done something wrong... On my main page it lists my campaign twice. I'm not sure why. There's no difference in the "slug tag" except that one has a "/" after it and the other doesn't. Is this normal? Did I accidentally create two of these? I'm just worried about my players starting to use these and different people ending up using different ones, and all of a sudden the entire campaign is split between two separate entries. Oi.

is there a listing of keyboard shortcuts somewhere?

For example, CTRL-B is bold, CTRL-U is underline etc.

Are there any others?

I would kill for a shortcut for a shortcut that adds [[ ]] to the selected text.

I am working on my next campaign "Rise of the Dead":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/rise-of-the-dead and am having trouble with some CSS formatting.

I am currently using this code to make the Content area black.

#content {background-color:black;border-style:none;}

The problem is, the Black background limits the Dynamic Character sheets I can use. I need some CSS code that make the Indivdual Character's have a white background. To clarify, the main Character Tab still needs to be black, but when you click on a specific character, I want that character's Background to be white. "Here":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/rise-of-the-dead/characters/test is an example of a test character.

Thank you in advance for all your help. This is a great community.

If someone could either explain how to use the thing (if you assume I'm a half-wit and thus use small words with lots of clear detail, that'd be just fine) or point me toward the forum post or helpfile explaining it all, it'd be most appreciated.

After the session I use them as a starting point for Adventure Logs.

What I would like to do is have some links/buttons in the NPC / monster stats that can roll their attacks and damage, maybe perception checks and those sort of things. The results could show up in a simple pop-up window.

It doesn't need to be interactive/editable from the page, just as long as I can change the code when I edit the wiki, manually inserting the correct number of die and modifiers for each stat block.

I tried to cannibalize the d20srd.org dice roller script, (http://www.d20srd.org/scripts/diceRoller.js), but it seems like Obsidian Portal doesn't allow javascript.

Is there some way to do it? Or do you have other interactive code examples that I could use as a starting point?

I thought it best to start a new topic for it, instead of hijacking a different one (namely the October COTM thread). So: what can we, as members of OP, do to our campaigns to make them look better for mobile browsers? What are we doing currently that is hampering this?

To start us off, Gaaran pointed out in the COTM thread that menus and other content that fall outside the fixed-width "white box" of our campaigns are clipped out, and won't display on mobile platforms. I know that floating menus to the left of the campaign are very popular on a lot of campaigns, but to those who use them, does knowing they don't display on mobile platforms make you consider removing yours? What alternative solutions can we come up with for people who want to phase theirs out?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2716/d-d-pf-magic-items-ring-of-wizardry-and-rings-generally Fri, 07 Sep 2012 15:31:01 +0000 Beaumains 2716@/discussions
For example (completely arbitrary), consider a character who has a _ring of feather falling, ring of force shield,_ and _ring of protection_. The first is activated by circumstance, the second can be activated/deactivated at will, and the third is continuously active; so what happens if the character has the shield active and falls? Could the character suppress the Ring of Protection to allow both the Ring of Feather Falling and the Ring of Force Shield to remain active? I guess there is a secondary question there about whether rings of the continuous variety can be deactivated or suppressed without removing them, and if not, whether such a ring interferes with any others if there is a 'more than 2' effect in play. That is, does the fact that a Ring of Protection is continuous, and the fact that the character has more than 2 rings mean that none of the rings work at all?

Enter the Ring of Wizardry. The question here is, what happens if a character removes, deactivates, or suppresses this ring _after_ casting spells associated with it (i.e. the extra spells prepared by wearing the ring). Is there a difference if the spell has an instantaneous duration/effect (e.g. _fireball_ ), an instantaneous effect but lasting duration (e.g. _sleep, summon monster_ ), or a lasting duration/effect (e.g. _charm person_ )? What about spells that require concentration (e.g. _flaming sphere, silent image_ )? Does the wizard lose other prepared spells of the level in question, or just the (expired/used) spell slots? In the case of a lasting duration or effect, is the spell cut short?

The ring is based on _limited wish_ which seems like it could go either way on this, but I'd like to get some other DMs' perspectives here.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2744/keeping-an-adventure-log-entry-at-the-top Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:09:01 +0000 mntineer 2744@/discussions
