Interactive Dating Sim

Hi all! For Valentine's day I thought I'd do something a little bit topical and make a Dreamwidth-"friendly" mini dating sim UI. There's a working demonstration of it, as well as copious notes and a generator spreadsheet if you don't want to bother sorting through the code.

Please make sure to read all the notes carefully. Feel free to also use only a single screen if you don't want it to be interactive.

Tested on: Chrome (108, 108 for iOS), Firefox(84), Safari (14.1, 16 for iOS)

NOTES:
  • Please do not remove the credit footer unless you have code credits somewhere else on your journal!
  • If you are not planning on using the spreadsheet, please disable auto-formatting or you might end up with whitespace where it doesn't belong.
  • This code is long, please note that the 6 sample screens is something like 9k characters and that dreamwidth entries have a maximum of 65k latin (~33k cyrillic or cn/jp/kr characters) so you will not be able to create a very long story. For that, I suggest an RPG or dating sim engine instead!

Review Chart

I thought it would be fun to write up a chart that looks like it could be used for product reviews. It could be used as a testimonial page for you or your character, or for a character business. You could also just use it as a cr chart or muselist.

I've also made it so that you can leave a single review as a comment. I've left a separate code section for that purpose, and a demo below if you scroll all the way to the comments. Please note that the review content can't be trapped in a scrollable box the way that it is on the entry code. It's also slightly wider on desktop.

Tested on: Chrome (108, 108 for iOS), Firefox(84), Safari (14.1, 16 for iOS)

NOTES:
  • Please do not remove the credit footer unless you have code credits somewhere else on your journal!

Midnights Splash Page

Hi again!

Since my previous midnights-style covers were a hit, I thought it would also make a good navigation overlay and decided to spin the code into a splash page. It will only work on the main page of your journal, not on singular entries. If you want the navigation to be bound to an entry instead of as an overlay, I would highly recommend using the previous cover code instead!

Also, I tried it on a couple default Dreamwidth layouts and it seemed to work just fine, but I didn't test it on every single DW layout so it may or may not behave a little bit buggy on ones I didn't test. It will not work as-written with layouts imported from livejournal or insanejournal, as far as I know. But onto the installation!

Installation

  1. Post a new entry to your journal and copy this code:
    Replace COLOR1 (3 instances), COLOR2 (3 instances), NAME (1 instance), BACKGROUNDURL (1 instance), all the links, and ENTRYNUM (1 instance - instructions below on how to find the ENTRYNUM). If you choose to delete the link credit, please link back to this journal elsewhere so other people can find this code!
  2. This should make the album cover show up as a regular entry. Go to the entry and find the numeric id of the entry in the url (http://journalname.dreamwidth.org/ENTRYNUM.html). Remember to edit the entry to replace this id.
  3. Make sure to either forward-date this entry or sticky it so that it always shows up when you go to your journal.
  4. Now go to organize-->customize style and under custom-css, copy the following and replace all instances of ENTRYNUM with the id from a previous step:
If you'd like to see a live example, please check it out here. I did test this on a chrome 108, firefox 84, safari 14.1 and ios 16.1. This will not work with IE.

I tried it on themes Caravan, Tectonic, Patsy, Leftovers, Mobility, and Abstractia. The spacing between lines on the navigation changes a little bit, but other than that it should work fine on all those layouts.

Please enjoy and happy holidays!

Midnights-Style Covers

Introduction:

I've been seeing a lot of Midnights edits lately and I thought it would make a nice HTML code for people to use for muselists, CR charts, or just for fun. Some notes:

  • I tested this on chrome, firefox, safari and chrome for iOS. It will work for mobile use but it does display a bit tightly in order to help preserve the aspect ratio, so I don't recommend it if you're a heavy mobile user.
  • The code expects you to have Helvetica installed. It will display in Verdana and then default sans serif if you don't have Verdana, but it is meant to display best with Helvetica.
  • Links will work and be in the same gradient by default.

BLM Fundraising Commissions | CLOSED

Closing thank you!!

Together, we've raised $120 for BLM organizations and I will personally be price matching $100 (which I plan to send through a price matching for a total of $200, so overall $320!!!) I couldn't have done it without your generous help. <3
Hi everyone. With all that's been going on lately in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, I thought I'd open up some commissions for the indeterminate future to try and help contribute. All prices listed are Base Prices, meaning you have to give at least that much to receive the item, but you are free to donate as much as you wish.

Additionally, I'll personally price match up to $100 of all donations received for these commissions and donate it to BLM, sent through my day job because they'll price match my contribution. Why am I doing it this way? Last time I submitted gift-matching with my company, it took over a month to process. I'd like to be able to give a contribution both now and later, hence commissions!

For this reason, I am not taking IOUs or placeholders! ALL PRICES IN USD, so if you send in your local currency, please just make sure it's equivalent to the price listed in USD.

simple image "borders"

Hi guys! My last post had a bunch of ott image overlays but I thought I'd pare it down a little bit. These ones I think would be particularly useful to standardize the look on images used to break up long blocks of texts or visualosity-like galleries. I tried to put each of the examples in a mock-up of how they'd look in use. This is really more like a resource cheat-sheet so you don't need to credit this journal!

250x250 "image" overlays

Hey all! I've made a handful of "image overlays" that are actually background overlays for pictures or gifs that are 250x250px. You don't need to have a 250x250 picture, your picture will resize to cover or fit the container in its existing scale. All you have to do to use them is copy them and then replace IMGURL (or for the ship one, IMGURL1 and IMGURL2 with your image urls! Just in case you thought your images were a little boring and needed a little spice!

fake tinder profile

Hey guys, so it's come to my attention lately that there's still demand for this tinder profile I made ages ago, but am no longer supporting and is honestly a convoluted mess. I thought I might make some edits and publish a 2.0 version for anyone still tempted to use it! Please find the example and the code below. Please note that due to custom dreamwidth layouts, this may not look as good above a cut. It has been tested in the latest version of chrome/ff/safari. Also, please do not edit or redistribute this code without permission.

>I want to make a single tinder profile.
>I want to post this as a meme/as a log.

layout | assemble!

Layout: Assemble! by Xy @ [personal profile] shipping


To celebrate Endgame, I've decided to make Avengers-themed layouts! Phase 2 recolors are coming, but I thought 6 colors was a good start. This layout features a sidebar you can fill with images that shows information when you hover over the panels. The cutout shapes are unique to each recolor. The layout will resize for different resolutions. Should work on mobile, though the hover behavior will be wonky.


instructions

  1. Go to customize journal and select Flexible Squares. If you don't have flexible squares, you need to install it first.
  2. Then go to sidebar and select "show". The sidebar will be on the left no matter which orientation you choose.
  3. Go to custom css and uncheck everything, replacing the block of "custom stylesheet" with whatever you like below!
  4. You must supply your own pictures for the sidebar! They're under /*SIDEBAR BACKGROUNDS*/. Just replace all the IMAGEURLs.
  5. Custom comment pages are not recommended or supported with this layout. Additionally, some features are missing in Safari and older versions of Firefox.
  6. If you remove credit from the code comments, make sure to credit [personal profile] shipping somewhere on your journal.

fauxstagram code

Decided to give Erik an instagram at [community profile] duplicitynet with a sticky header and images that resize with the window. When I was done making it I thought why not share with everyone! ♥ Originally I also tried making a gradient border for recently posted stories but that was a trainwreck and a half.

HEADER

Make sure to replace anything demarcated with square brackets. There are: [FAUXSTAGRAM] (for whatever you want to call the "app"), [AVATARURL], [USERNAME], [NAME] & [DESCRIPTION] as well as 3 [#] for posts, followers and following. You should not have any brackets left when you are done replacing.


ADD IMAGES

Add one of these per image to the bottom of the code after <!--POST IMAGES AFTER THIS LINE--> You will need at least 3 to start with but you can have as many as you want, and it will automatically make 3 columns*. Replace [IMAGEURL] with your image. It will automatically resize to square but originally square images will work best.

*if your viewport is extremely small, it will shrink to a 2-column layout.

OPTIONAL: FOOTER

If you want to include things underneath your Instagram post on the same entry, make sure to add this underneath all your images. Otherwise, the sticky Instagram header will automatically stop once you reach the comment section of your post.
