  2. HTML/CSS Timeline

    A full CSS and HTML vertical timeline? You bet! This uses pseudo-selectors to create a vertical bar with points along that bar with whatever text you need in it, creating a quite fancy historical timeline for your fantasy sites. With a few other embellishments, you can make it super neat.

    Every site needs navigation, right? What about something using icons/glyph fonts, and some funky hover effects in place of tooltips to give your site a unique look? Oh, it works on mobile, is dead simple to convert to a dropdown or toggle menu with a touch of script, and is super light on code too? Let's do it!

  6. Filterable and Sortable Memberlist for Jcink, using isotope

    A few weeks ago, the editable templates for Jcink's memberlist went live on all sites. This is a fantastic opportunity for admins to create a memberlist that can be filtered by factions, or sorted on playby, without having to update and maintain a list.

     

    I'm going to show you how you can do this using isotope and custom profile fields. This code can be used by any software (just substitute your variables and templates) but I am targeting administrators of jcink sites in particular.

  7. How to create a guidebook for jcink

    This guide is addressed to jcink users but can be used by anyone. Just substitute in the correct terminology.

     

    Essentially, this guide is the creation of a guidebook. On the left of the screen are links. On the right of the screen is a blank space. You click on a link and the appropriate contents appear on the right hand side. You click another link, those previous contents vanish to be replaced by the new appropriate contents.

  8. "Auto Thread Tracker"

    You can whack the user's subscribed threads into your wrapper, which makes it easier to see what needs replying to. Here's how.

     

    This script will also work with other forum software. However, if you're able to use PHP, I would use that.

     

    For other forums, just change the element that you're targeting:

      

    $("#thread-container").load("URL ELEMENT_TO_TARGET");
