Q: Is Fantasy in spec for this site?

Should fantasy be included in this? I know many people mix them up, and there are definitely cases which can be very hard to distinguish. So, the question remains, should we include Fantasy, or not include it? Or where do we draw the line? What I propose is we have people present their proposed ...

discussion status-completed scope fantasy

according to policy everything is on topic

(you need to look at the top answer)

TheLethalCarrot

So as long as you can justify something being fantasy it's fine, sounds daft

I can just go well that wouldn't happen in real life so it's fantasy

It doesn't even say fantasy

So long as the community likes it it's on topic

> Anything the community wants to ask about here is fine. Let's see what the community itself finds interesting.

TheLethalCarrot

I might ask a question about the perfect time to cook pasta and link to the policy :P

Ahaha, but policy says!

I've started my compilation with icloud notes. That's how I can keep it all together between work and home

TheLethalCarrot

Decent compromise I suppose

8:39 AM

On iOS there's colour coding though which would be helpful for things like "scope policies" "policies about titles" "tag policies" etc

But I can do that at home at some point

TheLethalCarrot

Oooh you can have a lovely contents page and lots of topics with sub topics :P

I mean there's only 2500 meta posts, of which maybe 50% or less are policies so not too bad

@TheLethalCarrot Make it like a school girls notebook where every other line changes colour.

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah and pretty swirling patterns

When I started uni in my first couple of weeks I'd rush notes in lecture then go back to my room and write them up neatly with colour coding

After that I rushed my notes and that was it haha

Crackpot theory, get your tinfoil reddit.com/r/pureasoiaf/comments/78tik6/…

@TheLethalCarrot I stopped writing notes after about a week, probably why I bottled my course

I did nothing until like a couple of days before an exam and just did everything from past papers. Did NOT work well.

I was made very arrogant by my teachers at school telling me uni would be really easy for me and that I wouldn't have to work very hard

Gods was I naive then

reddit.com/r/pureasoiaf/comments/78o6l2/… Drugs were smoked

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Gods you was

@Edlothiad Thats a bad one

8:51 AM

> Dragons on the hand...

Not being able to edit reddit posts annoys me

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah tis daft

@Edlothiad Good job I put the hat on for that one

reddit.com/r/funny/comments/78q3q8/…

AND

user image

Lol, got is leaking

TheLethalCarrot

I'm seeing freefolk everywhere at the moment on reddit

It's irritating imo, other subs have their own memes, keep your shit to your own

TheLethalCarrot

Especially seeing as it's essentially only "GODS I WAS RELEVANT THEN" or "FETCH THE RELEVANCY STRETCHER"

or "A RELEVANT HORDE ON AN OPEN RELEVANCY"

9:06 AM

Your mother was a reelvant with big relevance!

TheLethalCarrot

Forgot that one, nice catch :P

reddit.com/r/pureasoiaf/comments/788ltu/…

Explain this. Any issue with Got can be put to bed with "because the characters were so well written"

TheLethalCarrot

You know those subreddits are die hard GRRM fans

I know but I don't understand how it's relevant in this case

"The characters make a bunch of stupid decisions, it's frustrating"

"You're getting frustrated because the characters are so well written" wait wut?

TheLethalCarrot

I didn't read the context around it only the comment you linked but from that it looks like he's saying you get attached to the characters cos they're so well written that you invest more into what they do

11:32 AM

Hmm my OCR doesn't seem to work for specific things

TheLethalCarrot

Like?

Like say there's a region that shows numbers

when its any 2+ digit number

it reads it

when it's a single digit, it fails

TheLethalCarrot

As in all together or wrong result?

Got any validation rules on it like [A-Za-z]|[0-9]{2,}

It just reads blank

No no regex rules

it just can't read an individual digit =.=

TheLethalCarrot

11:48 AM

Odd

What engine is it? All the ones we've ever used or tried have never had any problems with single digits/letters

Tessarect

I think is the answer to your question

TheLethalCarrot

Ah never used it but I've heard mixed things about it

well it's what the software uses so no choices here

TheLethalCarrot

Ahhh shame

Meh it was a known bug 3 years ago that has yet to be fixed

TheLethalCarrot

12:00 PM

Doesn't surprise me

I've bumped the thread to see if I can get an answer

In the meantime I could figure out a work around or do stuff on the site.

Easy decision imo

TheLethalCarrot

Easy indeed

How's your HTML/JavaScript?

I'm trying to add this to a html doc but I can't seem to get the JavaScript to work

codepen.io/96naveen/pen/PwVMJq

Js is turd, HTML is p good

What's not working?

TheLethalCarrot

The JavaScript doesn't seem to be running, never tried in-lining it before though so I'm probably doing something wrong

I added the JavaScript to the head in a script and the HTML is in the body

In a couple of other divs

12:15 PM

The link you gave me is working fine

Oh this works but not when you add it in

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah on the link but I'm trying to add it to my own html file

Is that your link?

Cuz if it is you've just given away your real name lol

TheLethalCarrot

No someone else made it

Ah ok

TheLethalCarrot

Ah got it working

12:22 PM

What was the fix

Sorry was arguing with someone about getting a rugby top

I'm going to get it but might as well show you: lovell-rugby.co.uk/Rugby-Shirts/World-Beach-Rugby/…

TheLethalCarrot

I put the HTML in a $(document).ready(function() {...}); and imported JQuery. I might be able to do it another way but that's what I've gone with so far

@Edlothiad Haha that's quite a cool one

Nice hack

30 quid as well, that's a cheap rugby top

TheLethalCarrot

I'm don't know too mcuh about JavaScript so hopefully that'll be fine

It is

The guy I'm arguing with buy $7 shirts and is calling me a sucker. For a rugby shirt like that, I'm a sucker for not getting it at 40% off

TheLethalCarrot

Haha it does look cool at least

12:29 PM

@TheLethalCarrot More than me

Doesn't amflare know about JS, he wrote theuserscripts for us

TheLethalCarrot

Probably

I know basic JavaScript but I get a bit stumped when adding it into HTML

> Pre-order - stock due 24/11/2017

nooooooooooo

Still worth

TheLethalCarrot

It'll come in time at least won't it?

Oh ya, but I wanted it ASAP to wear to rugby trainings hahaha

It'll have to be saved for some cracking 2018 banter

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha

12:37 PM

Oh you genius TLC I'll get it sent to my brother and he can bring it to me!

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah I totally came up with that idea

Well my current housing situation (I hope) is not permanent, so risky sending it to where I am now

TheLethalCarrot

Makes sense

I can get this one now though! lovell-rugby.co.uk/Rugby-Shirts/VX_3/…

TheLethalCarrot

First one is better

12:42 PM

I'll be paying 7 quid in shipping though

@TheLethalCarrot Oh I was going to get both :D

TheLethalCarrot

Ahh fair enough haha

1:26 PM

@Aegon thoughts? scifi.stackexchange.com/a/172708/57310

@Skooba Do @TheLethalCarrot and I not have enough "expertise" to weigh in our thoughs?

@Edlothiad I am offering juxtaposition to one of his answers, so his thoughts are most relevant. Feel free to weigh-in though.

TheLethalCarrot

Awww that JavaScript I've got doesn't quite work :/

@TheLethalCarrot ahh poo

I'd help if I could, but I can't

TheLethalCarrot

I'm going to try and re-write it now anyway

It works fine with one main option only

More than one and it messes up

1:40 PM

@TheLethalCarrot still trying to do something js?

TheLethalCarrot

@amflare Yeah I'm giving this a go myself though

Mkay. Feel free to ping me if you'd like some help.

TheLethalCarrot

Thanks :)

He just hides there, can't say anything bad about him

scifi.stackexchange.com/review/close/115248

lol what a troll...

wait

crumbs

1:50 PM

@Edlothiad Just ran into this in the queue. wtf?

Ransara is top class troll

oh wait again

nvm

@Edlothiad what in the actual F?

If you thought SS was good, Ransara is number 1

who did it, what are they smoking, why aren't they sharing.

If my maths is correct, he just got off a ban

ugh the OCR changes have been bumped back to version 2...

1:56 PM

75% sale on Paradox

TheLethalCarrot

Damn it just used my wallet funds

I used this codepen earlier for nested checkboxes: codepen.io/96naveen/pen/PwVMJq

I'm trying to get it to work with multiple ones but it seems I've mucked it up, anyone know why?

codepen.io/anon/pen/LOPPMe

@amflare Any idea on this one?

My JavaScript isn't the best as you can see haha

lemme take a look

@skoob s nice answer

@TheLethalCarrot - Your .checkbox-main-option is in the <label> tag and not wrapping around the <ul> or any of the .checkbox-sub-options. So when you try to mainOptionCheckboxes[i].getElementsByClassName("checkbox-sub-option"); is doesn't work because the sub boxes are not within the scope of the main box element.

TheLethalCarrot

2:12 PM

@amflare Ah thanks I'll have a look at fixing that

Sure thing

TheLethalCarrot

My web stuff is really rusty and I didn't know that much to begin with haha

Can a input have children?

Nope

Wrap each checkbox group in a div. Give the div a class. Then call teh checkboxes main and sub.

You'll know who belong to who because of the wrapper.

TheLethalCarrot

That makes sense

TheLethalCarrot

2:34 PM

For some reason I've got it working, partially, from my local HTML file but it doesn't work on codepen at all :/

What happens if you copy and paste the html file into the html section of codepen?

TheLethalCarrot

That gives them the same behaviour

Guessing it's the jQuery

It looks like the onclick isn't binding to the sub options

you can include jquery in codepen by clicking the settings button in the upper right corner of the page

TheLethalCarrot

Ah rightho

So the onclick isn't binding to the sub checkboxes and the checkboxSubOptions is being overwritten on each loop

Might post to SO main

2:53 PM

the checkboxSubOptions var is an array, not an element, you'll need to loop through and use checkboxSubOptions[i] for the onclick

Or rather, checkboxSubOptions[k] I guess

TheLethalCarrot

I didn't do that cos the initial code didn't suppose I'll have to now haha

I got it working in your code pen, but not the version you put on SO :/

Are they different?

TheLethalCarrot

They shouldn't be, I just updated the SO one to add the loop in though

So the main problem is checkboxSubOptions being overwritten on each loop

At least that's what I believe is happening

Huh... On SO the checkboxes are all acting independently of each other. No matter.

What do you mean by "overwrtiten"?

TheLethalCarrot

Well probably not overwritten I assumed the array was being updated with the next nests values each turn and that's why only the last one was working

On SO Main2 works fine and Main1 doesn't work at all

3:04 PM

so clicking on a sub checkbox undoes other subs?

Huh... so it does

TheLethalCarrot

By the way ignore the formatting on SO, Notepad++ has apparently added tabs in in some places but spaces in others so it displays odd on SO

3:26 PM

hoooo boy

that was fun

xD

I learned something new today

lemme know if you have any questions about my answer @TheLethalCarrot

TheLethalCarrot

So have you essentially just added the function(i) in the loop? Odd that it does that though

(function(i){})(i) technically

TheLethalCarrot

Well yeah

Still doesn't seem to work on SO though

my code snippet works

(at least it does for me :/)

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah it does, there's 2 snippets in your answer, at least for me though

3:31 PM

wait what?

oops

fixed

TheLethalCarrot

Haha Imma accept yours so I don't have to use jQuery at all at the moment

I'm okay with this xD

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

That's daft that you have to create the scope though

Well especially to me coming from C#

are scopes a big deal in C#?

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah but the value wouldn't be overwritten like that

3:35 PM

Gotcha

yeah, JS likes to make everything global unless told otherwise

TheLethalCarrot

Ahhh okay I get ya

Convenient for scripting, but not the best for web.

TheLethalCarrot

I can imagine

My job for tomorrow is to make the outer checkboxes collapsible so the inner ones are hidden, we shall see how that turns out

I've seen collapsible divs out there so I'll copy from them

Thats easy, you can do it with CSS and using JS to toggle classes

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah having a quick look that's my plan

3:40 PM

.open {height: 100pk}

.close {height: 0}

or even just have the natrual state be height 0 and add the open class to open

element.onclick if has class open remove class else add class open

TheLethalCarrot

Is there any easy way to do it to show all content in the div so like .open {display: inline} and .close {display: none}?

yes

TheLethalCarrot

Might give it a quick go now then haha

I think <ul> is display:block though

you can use the wrapper .expandable-checkboxes ul {//css code}

and .expandable-checkboxes.closed ul {//css code}

if you don't want to have to add new classes to things

TheLethalCarrot

Ahh okay I'll have a look into it anyway

3:45 PM

though you might find it easier to add new classes to things

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah I'll have a look

but yeah, height or display works.

good luck

TheLethalCarrot

Thanks haha

TheLethalCarrot

4:18 PM

Wasn't too hard you were right

Had some troubles with classList so I'm using className at the moment

Now I just need to make it look pretty

Then do a script to load the checkboxes dynamically

Then do all the backend haha

nice

what do you need dynamic, collapsible, indeterminate, checkboxes for anyway?

TheLethalCarrot

I'm looking into gameofsearches.com

:P

So essentially the main checkbox is the season and the inner ones are the episodes

The dynamic part is easy, I'll do a PHP script for that

Essentially it'll be a copy of asearchoficeandfire but for the show transcripts

Hopefully it works out quite well

Ooooh. Nice.

@TheLethalCarrot oh now thats a slick website

like, I'm probably never going to use it, but I can appreciate how it was made and looks.

damn son
