Hacking Your Posts

Some time ago, before I had my long absence, when I was running my Birthright game, I came up with a few hacks that styled the forums in fun ways. I recall having posted about that before and others had offered up some additional cool hacks - Does anyone remember that chat? I can't find it.

Anyways, here are the few I still have notes for:
(Note that I have added extra spaces in the tags displayed in the quotes below so that they display. If you quote this post you can view the actual, functional hack.)

MINIMAP
A small toolbar near the top of the page. Helpful to put combat maps or other useful tidbits that players may wish to reference often while reading.

[ +- ] Map

BACKGROUND
Post a full page background / watermark behind the conversation.
　

Edit: updated to remove the #000 on the color tags. Thanks!

The second one, the background, is now a built in feature. A new section of the Game Details page, Advanced Rules Definition, allows that to be specified by code:

{"background":{"image":"fullurltoimagegoeshere"}}

Nice!

Great stuff!

Love the minimap-hack, but it looks weird when the page is in darkmode (also a new option)
I'm curious if the minimap is available on page 2 when the code is on page 1

Only the page it is on

You can leave the #000 out of the color code to help it work better with the dark theme.
Instead of [ color="#000;position...] you can say [ color=";position...] and it will use the default color from the theme. You still need the semi-colon (;) to perform the injection.

Funny thing, the mini map still shows despite the spaces.

There is a second copy on the initial post without the spaces.

How do you do simple text alignment? If I want to align text to the right or center?

Thanks exactly what I was looking for!
