Fanon and its broken chat emotes
So you may or may have noticed that recently, a lot of emoticons have become broken. Among these are a fair bit of user emotes. And if you're on chat all day (like I tend to be), then it probably drives you insane, especially if you have your public chat list collapsed.
Fortunately, I've already figured out that Wikia updated their emoticon support, and they dropped any emotes that are not hosted by Wikia themselves. This means that any emoticons that are hosted on deviantart, imgur, tumblr, etc, are all no longer supported.
According to my testing, the only images that are supported are those that are physically uploaded to the page (aka, if there's an image preview) (UPDATE: See below) , or that link to a Wikia-based url (aka ones that star…
let's play "guess who broke everything"
hint: it's me
i was fiddling with things and i found this:
Zod's Super Fab Chat Skin Making Guide
Okay so first warning: This is more or less a draft. So I would really like it if you commented if there's anything I need to add, change, etc. I want this to be as helpful as possible since coding has become more popular and such.
But without further ado, here is Mr. Zod's "Fabulous" Chat Skin Coding Guide
HAi guys
hello everyone, im just learning how to code and im hoping to know EVERYTHING about the universe :CD (btw thats a dude with a big nose) and get to everyone here!
new idea yay
so this hazy idea i came up with earlier today
Pyrrhia is getting a bit crowded, hmm?
what is we discovered a sECOND CONTINENT o0o
im not 100% on the geography right now, but somewhere theres this cliff/overhang thing over a canyon or something so we can have an upsidedown city .3.
also its a bit smaller that Pyrrhia
and there could be this super long underwater tunnel with a magic animus touched giant air bubble underwater city in the middle :3
yeah, as i said very vague idea, i just started thinking of cool places xD

I learned how to make a custom Table of Contents and here's how you can do it too
Okay so if you're a fan of coded pages, you're probably aware that the table of contents box looks unbelievably ugly on top of coding. If you have a coded OC, you probably have the
I reworked my first ever chat skin this weekend...
I don't know who all was there, but last year, on June 12th, 2014, I edited the fanon's Wikia.css page (which essentially actived the code on every user's chat window), which was extremely annoying to many people. Of course, back then I was unbelievably nooby with coding (black borders e v e r y w h e r e), and I had no idea that user-specific css pages existed. So of course, I was editing it right there while chat was active.
Needless to say, it was dropped pretty quickly.
However, I was brought back to this skin yesterday, after we were talking about how we started with code on chat. I ended up deciding that I was going to recode said skin, now that I've had a fair bit of learning with CSS.
Today, I finished the reworking of said skin.
First…
If there's a competition for most useless code then I just won
yes i know i posted this prematurely i know let me take a moment to redeem myself
Good? Good.
Alright, so I was messing around with code, and I just found out that everything in the main chat window has an absolute position, meaning that they can all be resized and moved around.
This is the same thing that allows me to make Project Flow work on mobile.
However, I just did something great. Let's see if you can notice.
Yeah. The Rail is on the left side.
So I'm going to go ahead and give you the code for this, in case you decide that you want it for some reason.
.Rail {
left: 0;
border-right: 1px solid #B8C3A8;
}
.Chat {
left: 151px;
right: 0;
border-right: none;
}
.Write {
left: 150px;
right: 0px;
}
.ChatWindow .UserStatsMenu {
right:…
Camping whoop whoop
So I put a blog up on the fanon wiki, but I'm putting one up here to get everyone updated. I'm going to my second church camp and won't be back til Saturday. I think we can love til then.
Also I uploaded the page for my wippest fanfic and I worked on some cover art. Hope u enjoy dat!!
Anyways, bai!! ^ω^
Flow 2.0, I need your help
So I'm in the process of coding together Flow 2.0. If you remember project flow from this blog, then you'll know what I'm talking about.
After a fair amount of research, I have figured out how to put together one piece of code that will work across multiple devices.
There were a lot of issues with the first one, largest of which being that it didn't work on computers or iPads. This new version that's in progress is revised and won't have the same issues, no matter what device is used. So far it has been tested on both my laptop, and my phone (An iphone 5s, both in portrait and landscape). It works smoothly across both devices (And based on the code behind it, I think it should work with 4th generation iPhones / iPods as well).
However, before…
Project Flow: Utilizing CSS to give Chat to Mobile Users
If you've been on the fanon chat at all today, you might have seen me going in and out of chat, occasionally mubmling about things working or not working (I may have also accidentally posted a couple of my notes to myself but that's besides the point).
Anyways, I've been working at chat this morning to work on a different type of chat skin. I'm gonna start off with a couple of snapshots first:
So you can probably easily see that this is on a mobile device (It's on an iPhone 5s running IOS 8). But if you look in the first picture, you can probably see that the Rail is off to the side, while, on the second picture, the Rail takes up most of the screen. That's using a :hover selector to bring it out (You tap on it / off of it to open / close i…
I'd like to save you guys some time on chat skins...
These first two paragraphs are a bit long and not the main point. Feel free to skip them if you want the code I'm demonstrating here. As you probably know, Chat Skins have become more popular among the Wings of Fire users over the past several months. Personally, I do my best to challenge myself and make sure that my chat skins are unique and interesting. However, that sometimes comes as a bit of a pain in terms of coding it. My most recent finished chat skin is my iMessage chat skin (the last one listed on this page), which has your messages on the right side of the screen, as opposed to the left, in order to look like the app itself.
With the iMessage skin, the coding was pretty simple to do this. I set the ".Chat .you .avatar"'s display p…
How to code your pages like a pro (work in progress)
A lot of you have been looking at all the newly coded pages showing up on the wiki and wishing that you could do that too. Well, you can, and I'll try to show you how.
- 1 Before You Start
- 2 Starting
- 3 The First Step
Before you start your page coding project, you must know a few things first.
1) You MUST use Classic Editor!
Since June 30th, 2014 (an estimated date), Visual Editor is the default editor for new users. In order to edit a page's coding, you must go to Source mode on Classic Editor.
Go to Your Preferences and switch your preferred editor to "Wikia's classic rich-text editor (where available)"
2) Inspect Element (Developer Tools) In order to view the coding on any webpage, you will need to get into the developer tools. Most browsers support …
Wiki Homepage Improvement Project!
Hey Testing Wiki friends!
I had an idea the other day and I ran it by Helio, who asked me to make a thread or something here on this wiki. My idea? The fanon homepage is looking a little... shall we say... ordinary? But we sure are capable of making some pretty stunningly coded OC pages. So... why don't we spread the love and make the Fanon Homepage a little eye-catching?
Why do this? Well, the main reason is that the homepage is the first thing people see when they come to the wiki, and a homepage with impeccable coding and lovely art can go a long ways towards impressing them and convincing them to join.
My proposals?
1) Make some changes to the content of the homepage, because so far I think that the "Featured OC" and "Featured Fic" things …
Could someone help me with coding
All the pages on here look great, and I was wondering if someone could help me code a page? Most of the time I just use other people's coding with permission, but I'd like to know how to make something original.
I'll probably be doing Sera's page, it currently just has a mix of Awe's coding, and the Indigo coding from the free formats. But I want to make something myself, should I post it on this wiki? idk how this stuff works xP
Art?
Haha a blog post is completely unnecessary, but this will be the first blog, sooo...
Anyways, there's only like five people on this wiki, but...art trades? Everyone on this wiki is a great artist (I mean, let's be honest, we have the best pages on the fanon wiki ^u^), and I'll be willing to do art trades with any of you c: (I'll also be putting this on the fanon, but I figured I'd start here).
I'll draw any character for you, cause I trust you all to have a decent description or a picture.
Also, if anyone wants to do this (haha it's fine if you don't, I understand being busy and stuff e.e), before you ask who you should draw for me, it will always be Luster's Awe. She's been feeling kinda depressed lately and she hasn't been able to get on he…
