Escapist Custom Themes & You

[bluegate]

Making the community signature background happen was a lot of work back in the day and I just had to type a bunch.

Hats off to you bluegate, you deserve money for the work you're doing here.

Thanks!

I came across that background, it must have taken a very long time to type and set all those names to fit like that, hats off to you.😯

Bluegate this is pretty goddamn impressive.

Thanks!

It didn't feel that special when creating it, sticking all kinds of little pieces together, but stepping back and looking at it fully assembled, I guess it's not half bad now, is it?

v1.4.11
Facebook comments sorta just stopped being editable all together
Stuck with the settings I had set in the previous version

Also found that I couldn't edit this page
Can't edit title and date/time on this page

Although I added a "Facebook Comments" section to the editor, these styles are not yet applied in version 1.4.11, they should start being applied in version 1.4.12, which I'll release either today or tomorrow. ( Currently working on getting preview styles to apply to the facebook pages inside the iframes ).

The styles found within Articles > Facebook Comments should still apply to pages such as for example this, though.

Also found that I couldn't edit this page

Profiles > 'Posts' Page
Newly added to apply to that page.

Can't edit title and date/time on this page

Articles > Header
These styles should now also properly apply to that page.

Casually adding another theme to the pile, although it's just a simple background image;

All Paws on Deck!

Inspired by my little nephew who can't get enough of the stuff, curious as to how it looks? Just press the preview button in the top right corner of this post.

I'm fully aware that this is way below this board's average user age, but heck, I had fun pasting it together and it fills up the list of themes so here it is 😁

Was spelunking and found I couldn't edit some forum stuff on this page - hardly important but worth a mention

A feature request for EscapistPlus - though I probably wouldn't use it could we get a "Like" button for posts?
I'm sure others would get a kick out of it despite it being displayed to only other EscapistPlus users
Maybe you could even implement notifications if a post you made was liked
Maybe make it anonymous idk - these things aren't my tea of cup

Oh myyy 😙

Well, styles from Forum Styles > Category Index should now properly apply to that page.

Also there are some new nodes to color that specific cell, if one would like to;
Forum Styles > Category Index > No Topics Message ( And other related nodes )

Funny you should mention this, I made a user script which did just that as a personal proof of concept not too long ago. I made it as a result of one of those "What can we do to 'fix' The Escapist?" topics, but I never bothered putting it out there because I didn't quite get the user authentication right through the user script.

I could try and port it to the add-on, I personally quite like having a way to give "micro feedback" to users' posts as it is an inexpensive way of showing a person that you have read their post. Good suggestion. 😄👍

Also can't edit the font colors of the bottom text
"It's coming, boys..."

Wouldn't even know where to begin making a userscript like that
Made the suggestion because I saw some users quoting others stating since they cannot "like/up" their post they have been forced to quote them to share their approval. Kinda funny to see in this day and age
Hearing you had something already in the works was a surprise - looks like you got it working per the group updates so congrats!
Site is lucky to have you

Thanks for all the feedback you are constantly giving, you are truly a great help with this theme feature 😄👍

"Articles > Body" should now apply to that text as well.
Don't understand how I missed that when I first looked at the page to fix the header... 😅

The hardest, or rather annoying, part of creating the Up Vote feature is compensating for the fact that the scripts aren't natively hosted on the Escapist; having to keep track of sub-forums, threads and posts on a separate server, having to splice in my own notification numbers when the Escapist updates its own notification numbers and such. And to be honest, I didn't really feel like double checking some of the Notification related code I wrote months ago and I just implemented most of it as-is, might make for some funny surprises when I publish the update of the Add-on 😛💦

Let's hope that people take to it 😄 ( Not pressuring anyone to use it, by the way )
