Comments/Ratings for a Single Item

Now, that is something I didn't know about. Short term, I'll look up those tags to get the thought process in my brain.

If nothing else, I'll try to remember about it, and take a good look before editing, the next time I have an update to this. (That's liable to be a good while, unless I come across something really unexpected once I can start building variants again.)

Minor edit to this page: The Flying Stag at the bottom is now wstag-welementair (instead of wstag-wwings).

No rush to change this on the actual page, Fergus, but please do when you have a minute.

Argh. I just found that I'd neglected to include the Malkia on the page. The icon's there; it just didn't have a space on the list.

That's fixed here; make the transfer when you can, Fergus.

@Fergus: And now I did the same thing with the Angel.

I won't be sending a new upload until I get some open slots, so please transfer the HTML when you have a couple of minutes.

@Fergus: Once more, and probably the penultimate for a good while.

A new ZIP file, and updated content.

If I don't get any new discoveries, requests, etc. (such as someone pointing out icons to represent colors), I'll have one more update to the HTML with the ZIP file of everything.

(I don't know whether it'd be better to put the encompassing ZIP file with this page, or have you transfer it to the official page.)

@Fergus: I spoke too soon; I figured out how to do color Modifiers. So, I'll upload those and make a new edit later today; you can then unzip both files at once, and only have to change the HTML one time.

@ Fergus: Okay, I uploaded the Color Modifiers, and created a new section for them in the HTML. Please unzip that ZIP and this one, and transfer the HTML for what I hope is the second-to-last time for a good while.

Okay, I have unzipped your files and copied your page. I made one change, turning a second <P> tag into a closing </P> tag.

Thank you, for both the copying and the correction. (A special thank-you for being that much on the ball!)

@Fergus: I've set this page to Private, but as I did so it made all the icon windows appear in my browser in a single column. I'm not sure whether that's just an idiosyncrasy, or I did something to screw things up.

I'm coming across a few icons that I failed to catalogue the last time around, but I'll add them as I go and they can be added after I upload the master ZIP.

Addendum: Also, the link to this page is no longer showing up anywhere on my profile or Unpublished sections, so I don't have a way (short of bookmarking in my browser) of marking where it is.

I temporarily switched it back to Members-Only, and it made no difference. Looking at your HTML, I see that you radically changed it, and the code that enabled the images to neatly line up in rows is no longer there. I would recommend going back to the last revision using FIGURE tags. If you didn't intentionally change your HTML, you might have used WYSIWYG mode. Do not use this mode on carefully written HTML, as it can mess it up.

There is a new menu item in the menu for seeing your works-in-progress.

@ Fergus

In clicking on the works-in-progress menu item, I saw a paragraph that was followed by '(not working yet)'. Assuming that still holds, if fresh submissions are submitted during the transition process (I cannot guess if it will be short), do they currently still go onto the 'Your Unpublished Submissions' page list?

OK, I reinstated the previous version. I actually hadn't done anything in the way of editing at all, other than changing that one thing, so I'm not sure what happened.

Yes, there is now. Thanks for adding that. (It wasn't there when I wrote the remark about not seeing a link; I did look for it exactly where it is now.)

I deleted that, because it is working now.

No, it just meant that until it was working, someone who went to the page's URL could still see its contents.

I did an experiment where I went into WYSIWYG mode and back to HTML mode without editing anything, and the result was what you got. Instead of FIGURE tags connecting images and captions, each image and each caption was in its own P tag, and the FIGURE tags were just gone. So, I should put up a confirm box with a warning when someone tries to switch to WYSIWYG mode when there is content that might be damaged by it.

That'll do, at least until the sections with such content can automatically activate the Source button (and manually deactivating it generates that warning).

Reminder: This happens to Interactive Diagrams as well.

WYSIWYG mode pretty much destroys all HTML tags, except for a very small subset that it could have generated itself through the editor buttons. And even then it will destroy almost any property of such tags (such as id, style or class).

I have removed the Source button from CkEditor, which makes the Format button the only way to switch it between HTML and WYSIWYG mode, and I have put a confirm box on the Format button to warn anyone who uses it to select WYSIWYG mode. Besides that, I have edited the text about each format to make it clear that WYSIWYG is not recommended, as it can alter your HTML.

I am not sure this is a good idea; I often need the Source button in texts I composed entirely in WYSIWYG mode, to fix a typo in a URL of an embedded image or link.

I agree. There are times when I want to edit the ID in one section and the text of another in one go, switching back and forth, such as when I'm changing a few pieces' icons and/or XBetza.

In fact, if the Source button can be made "sticky," so that leaving with it on means that it's on when I come back, that would be ideal.

You do not need the Source button for that. The Format SELECT item will let you do that without using the Source button.

Just change the format with the Format drop down box. Nothing is stopping you from switching modes in CkEditor. You just can't do it with the Source button, because that makes it too easy to mess up your code without warning.

The Format drop down box is sticky. When you load a page to edit it, it will be on the format used for your page when it was last saved.

The problem with this is that when I have an ID in one section and text to edit in the other, switching to WYSIWYG for the whole thing screws up the ID, and I have to start over. There's no ability to go back and forth.

I've never messed up my code using the Source button. When it's happened, it's always been with the Format drop-down. When the Source button's been involved, it's because I had the page in WYSIWYG with the Source button on in the section in question, and of course the Source button isn't sticky so it switched directly to WYSIWYG. It's for this reason that I'm careful to never edit a page with an ID without opening the source code first.

The lesson here is don't use WYSIWYG at all. While its destruction may be greater for an Interactive Diagram, it can mess up other HTML too.

Whether or not you have is not as important as whether you could. As a test, I briefly restored the Source button, opened your page to edit it, clicked on the Source button twice for the pieces section, and it destroyed all your <FIGURE> tags, placing each image and caption in its own <P> tags.
