I am an HTML noob - like ZERO experience. What little I've managed to accomplish was due in no small part to the FAQ's and this fine forum. I've got most of the content I want in my wiki but now I'm trying to snazz it up a bit like add a background behind the pages similar to what's found in "this month's featured campaign":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/cthulhusupremusest. In my case it will look like parchment paper. I've been able to get a picture to display using _div_ tags but it's only displaying as one small, fixed pic. I've also managed to make it not repeat but the size is still a challenge. Can any of you experienced developer-types offer some friendly advice?

Thanks in advance for your help and feel free to check out my 80% completed campaign "Majeria":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/majeria!

Best,

Recently started fumbling around with the new textile parser.. Was wondering:

Is there a way to apply coding to the characters/forums/maps/comments subsections?

I figure there isn't since you can't edit the base pages like with the Home/Adventure Logs/Wiki's but I don't want to be caught with pie in my face if someone found a way to work around it.

Lookin' forward to any responses, have a safe Halloween folks!

My problem is that the coding works on the wiki page, but not on the main page. Those are the only two that I have done the final update too because I can't seem to make it work on both pages. I've even completely copied the entire first wiki page onto the main site page and it still doesn't work. The links in the sidebar take me to a 404 error every time. Well, not every time, they work the second I update, that first screen where you still have the "Continue Editing" button at the top. However, once I am off that page, the links don't work.

Everything works fine on the Wiki page, but not on the main site page. Anyone have any ideas?

*edit* - Figured out that the only link that worked was the adventure log, so I had the idea to make all the links actual links instead of the [[ ]] references. Seems to work that way. Still got a lot to work on, but I'd welcome feedback if anyone has any ideas. Though again, not sure if this is the correct forum to ask for such things.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1249/4e-magic-item-record-sheet Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:13:27 +0000 sandman 1249@/discussions
Here's what it looks like: "4E Magic Item Record Sheet":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/14925/wikis/magic-item-record-sheet

As you can see the problem is that I can't figure out how to position the text correctly. I did the current position of the text by trial and error (don't know if this expresion is valid in english but bare with me) and some of the words inside the boxes look fine, but for some boxes (e.g. neck or implement) I can't align the text vertically the way I want to. Any ideas??]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1566/my-new-layout Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:56:09 +0000 gaaran 1566@/discussions

My current campaign is more or less a test for us. It's a short-ish arc that will get us into a new system and a new online element in OP. The PCs all come from the same small town. I uploaded the map to this town and created a dedicated wiki page for every building of note in town so that I can place map markers on them. But I'd rather have all of these individual buildings detailed on the main entry for the town instead of giving them their own pages, which is the reason for my question.

Here's my wiki. Any advice would be great.

I figured out the pattern, and I've kind of been working around it, but I need to know if this is an Obsidian Portal thing or perhaps a local ISP throttling my bandwidth at exactly 4AM, and it just happens to always coincide with my time on Obsidian Portal.

Thanks in advance for any answers you may have!

My problem is that for sections that have just one or two words without the "&" inbetween them, everything is cool: I put in the tags for a wiki-link (the "[[" and "]]"), and everything turns out fine for stuff like "Treasures" and "Magic Items". I get a link that prompts me to make a new wiki entry. When I click on the link, I can put stuff in and save it, and the link becomes an active page.

But any of the links I try to make with an "&" won't work. They make no new wiki link in red; they just give me the raw text of "[[Races & Classes]]". I tried using the raw code for it (&), but that gave the same thing. I can make a wiki page from scratch called "Races & Classes", but I can't link the damn thing back to the Main Page; when I hit the Link button on the right, it just spits in "[[Races & Classes | Races & Classes]]" and I still have the same problem, no wiki link.

Can someone help me? I've tried different formatting, but nothing seems to work. Should I just give up making it look the way I want and try something else?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1538/character-portrait-for-my-npcs Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:27:19 +0000 Celestino 1538@/discussions
So I am new to the forums (and OP in general) and I started creating my upcoming campaign.

I made an NPC already (still a very raw version) and tried to upload a picture of him but couldn't do it, there wasn't a button for picture-uploads on the edit site.

Could someone please help me with this?

This is a great idea, but the execution is unfriendly.

Why do I have to take 5 minutes to find/remember what buried link or button I need to change the name/title of my game ... fail ... do some searching in the forums and find at least one other comment about this but no solution?

Nothing is where I expect to find it.

I clicked on "Edit This Page" on my home page and looked for the big type-in box at the very top to change a typo in my page name ... no such box.

This is not Web 2.0 in the least. There should be no hunt-and-seek for features. And no scrolling to find buttons and links I need to manage my page(s).

Where is spell checking? (For some of us it's mainly TYPO-checking.) There's spell check in the forum ... why not where it counts most]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1533/help-with-texile Thu, 16 Sep 2010 06:49:45 +0000 Hedron 1533@/discussions
I have been using OP for over a year, and all my characters are in the format found in the MM4, as I find it is the easiest way to find things when I need them.
However, since the last update, the Character Crunch section of all new characters interpret a +1 as the start tag of underlining, and will randomly underline whole sections of my text.

See the correct display method here: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/astorian/characters/dragonhide-guard
And the way things are now here: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/astorian/characters/temple-guards

What I am I doing wrong/is there a way to have textile not see a symbol as a tag?

Thanks

Some of the guys expressed an instant dislike to running it via skype.

So I thought of running it normally with the guys round mine and the one in another city via mic and speaker to the whole group.

So question is anyone got any Idea where I can get a decent Microphone that could pick up the whole room for my player who has moved?

Talking about and average bedroom size with 3 - 4 people needing to be picked up.

Any help greatly appreciated.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1526/thought-i-d-share-easy-videos-for-your-campaigns Sun, 12 Sep 2010 16:54:41 +0000 Dra8er 1526@/discussions

I was just wondering, what kind of things are okay to upload as character portraits? Obviously, no porn or anything, but I mean, like, what kind of pictures?

Our main Gamemaster likes having real people, so a lot of us will look for pictures of celebrities that sort of fit. Sometimes I shop them a little, change the eye color or hair color, small changes. Occasionally, after everyone's shown their picture, I'll draw some of them based on what I was shown, but it takes me a while to get a good drawing, so that's slow.

I guess my question here is, is it okay to upload the "actor" pictures as the character portrait rather than something drawn by me? Or is that looked down upon?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1505/population Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:38:00 +0000 Meadhands 1505@/discussions
* Nilriel is the largest continent on the planet (Aden) and consists of grasslands, forests, a northern tundra, mountains in the east and west, and a semi-tropical southern coast

* Humans _were_ the most populace race in Nilriel, but a gods-blessed army of Orcs swept over them and killed about 80% of them

* The most populace races are currently Haflings and Elves, though the continent also holds Dragonborn, Dwarves, Eladrin, Gnolls, Gnomes, Goblins, Goliaths, Half Elves, Half Orcs, Kobolds, and Tieflings

* Nilriel is the _largest_ continent, but is only the second most populace, being about half the population of the largest.

* I am estimating Nilriel at about 20-25% of the world's population.

The gist of my problem is that I can't decide what the population _is_. I'm thinking somewhere in the single or double-digit millions, but can't really decide. I was wondering if anyone had some advice for choosing or perhaps criteria you've used that maybe I should consider.
