Guided Tables/Lists

[hishutup]

First, I am not 100% sure this is the correct location.

Take a look at this first:

 

     Roads of Cyrodiil

• Author: Arthmoor - Ukrr - mariedanj
• Version: 1.0
• Installation: Download: Roads of Cyrodiil Patches

Choose the most appropriate patches for you Load Order.

     UL (Unique Landscapes)

          Check00 ROC +UL Imperial Isle

          Check00 ROC +UL Skingrad Outskirts

 

     Let the People Drink

          Check00 ROC +Let the People Drink

 

     UL + Let the people drink

          Uncheck00 ROC +UL Imperial Isle and 00 ROC +Let the People Drink

        Check00 ROC +UL Imperial Isle +Let the People Drink

• Notes: (if needed)

<short description>

 

Okay, as you see for the patches even for two different mods telling/showing the user the correct patch is going to be tricky for when there is more patches.
Is there a way to have a guided list. For example, when a user is at that location hey/she will see selectable boxes. So that when the user select both UL + Let the people drink that only that only:
Check00 ROC +UL Imperial Isle +Let the People Drink
shows up. This isn't a big deal with two but when there are many more it'll become cluttered.

Is there a way to apply logic to text to hide/unhide when needed?
Is it a feature that could be added or be too difficult?

Is there a way to add logic elements to text?

 

I'll mock up something to visually explain it later.

 

The best guided list I can think of is Newegg.com

Where you can pick categories and then individual sub categories. Then give a list of all the things that match.

 

 

If this is completely impossible or isn't worth the hassle then i'll look into a new format.

*sigh*

I'm almost sure that SMW wasn't included but rather only phaser stuff.

 

Well, I guess I have to delete some pages... If I had perms...

I guess I'll message EssArrBee another day

 

 

sooo, would javascript be an option or no.

If so then how would it be added and what would it take to extend it to the wiki

I know the risks but what if I was the only member that could edit the page and whatever that would be required to make it function.

 

Or is this topic going to die...  :confused:

I can delete your pages.

I think this is all...

You can keep the topic alive, but I don't want you getting frustrated attempting to do something that can't currently be done.

 

Truth is, some of what you want to do would be beneficial to the masses, but i don't currently have time to work on the solution. But, if someone wanted to develop something in their own test environment and submit it for review, it could be implemented. JavaScript would be able to handle your idea regarding selecting mid manager and then only showing specific content, and the settings could be saved in a cookie. That would be better than a user setting page because then guests could utilize the functionality too.

I don't know anything about js but I don't think the sytax is too difficult, from what I have seen.

I don't know of a program/environment that can simulate it.

I don't know what the back end of the wiki is like.

So, I guess... I'll look another day/week...

 

But I guess I learned how to create a template which may prove useful.

 

I thought wikis cant create a cookie.

[stoppingby4now]

You can't have a cookie created by wiki syntax, but the core code uses them to associate your session.

 

With JavaScript, a separate cookie could be used for storing other useful information such ads settings.
