It should be noted before starting that this appears to be a Youtube issue, not an OP or Reforge issue.

---

QUICK FIX:

1) Pull up the video you wish to embed in Youtube, and click on the "Share" button near the description.
2) Do NOT use the abbreviated URL under "Share this video". Do NOT use the first URL or any of the code provided under "Embed" (with "/embed/" in URL).
3) DO use the URL provided in the code after you select the check box for "Use old embed code". This should have a "/v/" in the URL.
4) In the page editing screen on Obsidian Portal, click "Media Embed" on the right hand side of the editing field. You will be prompted to enter the URL - use the one from step 3.
5) In the URL, change "version=3" to "version=2&autoplay=1".
6) Save and the video should autoplay when the page is loaded.

I am putting a table into one of my wiki pages (in all likelihood it will be the only table in the campaign web site, but i expect it to get a fair amount of traffic as the campaign develops) - and was hoping for a few suggestions on how to go about it.

here is what i have so far, and i dont much like it!

please, when offering your suggestion, keep in mind that I am very lazy, and want to get away with as little work as possible! :)

I hope to generate a GMs resource that has been created by the people here on the OP forums. Not only as a play aid, but to attract a greater number of posters here who perhaps are not well served by the forum content as it stands at the time of writing (Mostly seeking new players/games and website formatting/coding discussion).

It would be excellent if new forum posts on the campaign boards would default to posting in the category or subcategory that the user has currently navigated to. So if I've navigated to the "Journals" section of my game's RP board, then the new posts would generate in that area. If I've navigated to "Off-Topic", then the posts would generate there. Naturally, the drop-down menu would still exist to allow users to change their desired posting location.

What would it look like?

I believe it would be simplest to implement this feature by simply defaulting the selection on the dropdown menu for the location of the new post to the forum or subform that the user has currently navigated to.

Why?

I see many of my users posting their posts in the main board section rather than the section they intended to. This seems like a few lines of code attached to the "Create New Topic" button that would remedy this (admittedly minor) inconvenience. Moreover, it would make the forum function more as a traditional forum and increase its ease of use.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3747/why-don-t-i-see-the-new-cotm Fri, 25 Jul 2014 05:53:59 +0000 Muddman 3747@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3746/numenera-on-the-penninsula Wed, 23 Jul 2014 16:18:19 +0000 VivianCircle 3746@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3737/more-help-with-picture-link-using-new-codes Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:17:39 +0000 twiggyleaf 3737@/discussions
Previously I would do this by using pic e.g.
!(media-item-align-center){height:150px}http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/219009/MysteriaButton.png(Go to Main Wiki)!
And then encapsulating it within PIC to create IMAGE LINK

However, now IMAGE coding has changed to:
[[File:341286 | class=media-item-align-center | 250px | remember.png]] and this code does not work when encapsulated into the PIC method. I have tried various tweaks but cannot get it right.

Basically, I want to use image: [[File:341286 | class=media-item-align-center | 250px | remember.png]] as a link to WIKI PAGE URL: https://mysteria.obsidianportal.com/wikis/halls-of-the-honoured-dead

If someone can give me the code that works for the new style, I would be very appreciative.

I haven't yet found a way to do this. Is this yet another feature that is reserved for Ascendant members, or is it not even possible then?

Even if there is not a way to set this globally but only page by page, that would be better than nothing; please let me know if there is a way.

Looks like the Pathfinder SRD site that I prefer to use (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/) is down. Let’s hope it’s only temporary. For anyone else in the same boat, there is always the official site (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/). The official site is not updated as well as the fan run site and the basic layout and navigation is poorer in my opinion, so I hope this is not some legal smashing! If anyone has any inside info, please let me know on here.

Thanx,

With the restriction to only be seen by campaign members, no one else is able to follow the adventures of my group in real time. They have to wait until I compile them into an adventure log.

And I can't read other people's forums either, which makes me sad.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3653/placing-content-in-right-side-bar Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:03:29 +0000 SqueezeBox 3653@/discussions
I'm trying to set up a sub navigation on the right side of the site. For anyone that goes to the wiki, you'll see some work I've done by using absolute positioning. My desire is to have the right side contain the sub nav bar above the Last Update section and stay there with out problems resizing the screen and scrolling down. I'd also like it to have content that I can store separately from the individual wiki pages.

Can someone help me get to where I want to be?

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I've created a hexcrawl adventure that I'm giving away free at "my blog":http://arsphantasia.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/the-isles-of-mist-a-free-hexcrawl-adventure/. If you aren't familiar with a hexcrawl, its similar to a dungeoncrawl, only above ground in the wilderness. The adventure comes with an introduction on how to run a hexcrawl adventure for the uninitiated. I originally created this for my own campaign, which is set in my "Age of Legends":https://age-of-legends.obsidianportal.com/ campaign setting (I haven't been around much since the reforge and my site is still all messed up), but thought since the work had already been done, that I'd make the adventure available to anyone interested in using it.

* The editor of a page probably does not need to be emailed about changes to that page by default.
* Emails are still a mess. _Please_ just remove the content of the edited page from page update emails. The link is sufficient.
* "h2" header text is an invisible white in Preview mode.
* Block-quoted text is a nearly-invisible grey color on the live page.
* How do I get to the Obsidian Portal Home page? The "Home" link at the bottom of every page takes me to my Dashboard.
* I think "Help" and possibly "Home" should be added back to the top bar of the campaign.
* I still like the idea of a Blogger-style "Next Campaign" button in the header bar, so it's easy to find neat new campaigns.
* I expect the "All Campaigns" item in the "Campaigns" menu to take me to a list of all of _my_ campaigns.
* I don't see any kind of "Textile Help" link in editing view any more. For that matter, the link for this Forum seems to be broken.

Unfortunately I dropped out of gaming for several months right when the Reforging was in full swing, so I got to give a lot less input than I had hoped, and am not entirely clear as to the current goings-on.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3024/reference-list-of-goals-for-the-reforging Fri, 17 May 2013 11:48:26 +0000 MarkGiguere 3024@/discussions
* Initial goal: (August 2013)
** We want to revitalize the existing Obsidian Portal by increasing its functionality, adding new features, and cleaning up the design.
** We’ll revamp the most frequently used parts of the site and rework them so that they’re easier to use. We will be examining every page for ways to make them flow better, provide the information you need, and allow you to navigate and manage your campaign faster and easier.
** The redesign will add more features to enhance your gaming.
** We’ll take our current site and give it a consistent look and feel that will make it more intuitive to use—not a button here and a link there, but a cohesive design strategy.
* Stretch goal #1: Reworking the maps: (August 2013)
** Deeper zoom levels for Ascendant maps - 5 instead of the current 3
** Higher resolution images - 4096x4096 pixels instead of the current 1024x1024
** A library of map markers - Different colors and shapes. Imagine dropping crossed swords to mark a battle, a tower to mark a wizard's abode, and a cave for...a cave. That's the idea.
** Better connection with the rest of your campaign - Add markers for specific characters and/or wiki pages, instead of only the general purpose markers we have now.
* Stretch goal #2: Name Generator (August 2013)
** A variety of different naming "genres". You'll be able to quickly switch between Elven-ish, Dwarven, guttural Ork (think lots of Ks and Xs), and so forth.
** Fast! - It will be right there when you need it, ready to give you the name you need and keep your players in the game.
** Integrated - Instead of just spitting a name at you, you'll be able to create a new barebones character on the fly with the name pre-generated. So, when your players ask about that random new NPC 3 months later, they will be tracked normally in Obsidian Portal, just like all your other characters.
* Stretch Goal #3: File Storage Locker (September 2013)
** add a spot in every campaign to store and manage all your shared files
** increase the storage size limits for both free and Ascendant campaigns. The free limit will climb to 250MB and the Ascendant limit will rise to 10GB.
* Stretch Goal #4: Custom Campaign URLs (October 2013)
** Every campaign will get its own subdomain (ie. “mycampaign.obsidianportal.com”) and Ascendant campaigns can set up their own raw domain (ie. “mycampaign.com”).
* Stretch Goal #5: Natural Editing (December 2013)
** Modify the editor to show exactly what the page will look like when saved—in other words, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3593/content-width Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:19:25 +0000 smiler127 3593@/discussions
