[Poll] Oladon's Browser Extension Features Poll

[DM Papa.DRB]

What I would l like to see is a "Campaigns" tab organizer.

In my case I have 6 PbP that I DM and they all start with "DM P......" 1 I play in and it starts with "C...." and 1 I am following and it starts with "L....'.

I would like to rearrange the campaigns so that my 6 DM ones are first, and then the other two, instead of the C then my 6 DM then the L.

Awesome idea, DRB! That's actually on my list of things I want to add, but somehow didn't make it onto this poll!

I imagine a little "edit" button in the upper-right of the Current Campaigns area which would unlock edit mode and allow you to drag your campaigns around, then you could save the new layout for future visits.

[DM Papa.DRB]

Yup, that sounds very good to me.... Thanks for considering it,

I apologize if this is the wrong thread, but my Lazarus extension appears to have stopped working. I'm curious if it's just me, or have others had this problem.

And if it's not just me, Oladon, does your tool revive posts I accidentally click away from, because I really like/need that functionality.

I just checked, and found Lazarus disabled. It is not compatible with Firefox 54.0.

It does not... today. If Lazarus no longer works, maybe someone would want to work together to add that functionality to PCT, or create it as a new extension.

[motteditor]

I really hope so. I already miss Lazarus. :(

New Additions:

Old Post Indicator*
Post-in-Progress Saver***

Custom Campaigns Page Arranger:

Complexity: **

This would allow you to reorder your campaigns (by dragging them around the page) and save the order. The extension would then arrange them in that order in the future.

Old Post Indicator:

Complexity: *

Some way of indicating that a post is old (> 1 year, or possibly custom age), such as the year or date being in red.

Post-in-Progress Saver:

Complexity: ***

This would function similar to the "Lazarus" addon, automatically saving posts as you write them (much like Gmail drafts).

Hi Oladon. I suggested this in another thread but...

Make code tag usable for posting tables by replacing regular spaces with figure spaces within a code tag. For users of your extension this will result in being able to post loot charts and the like in perfectly spaced tables and even for non users will allow at least somewhat readable tables.

[Oladon]

Released the "Need to Post" Indicator last night, so if you contributed to the 30 votes for that, please re-allocate those votes!

Azih, 2.4.0 also causes code tags to maintain some whitespace. I'm holding off on the figure space idea for now, as I'm reluctant to modify the site experience for people who don't use my extension. Still under consideration, just need to think through it a bit more.

So probably this is at the wrong thread but ... well.
How about some kind of status message tool, that let's you auto-send or auto-show some kind of status to all your games.

Use-Case: Everyone knows this moment, as your life is just busy-as-hell all of a sudden because of xxxx and probably yyyy. You know that you will most likely be unable to post for zz days. Being a fair and considerate GM/Player you want to tell this RL-overflow to all your players/co-players/GMs. So you compose a post, explaining your situation and your best guess of when things will get back to normal. Then copy that post to all your PbP games one after another - which takes time all by itself... Which you probably don't have, because *reasons*.

So I would love to see some way of simply set a status message and have the tool post it to all my games in the discussion page, maybe even using the default alias per game (should be possible I guess?) and you're done. Everyone is more or less happy to know what is up (always better than NOT knowing whats up with your favorite game).
Maybe some even quicker way with some kind of default text, where you just enter the expected afp [away from paizo ;-)] time and there you go...?

What do you think? Possible? Good/bad idea? Poll-candidate?

[Redelia]

Oladon, there is a 'feature' I would like to request that is not on your lists. I would like you to choose one of the firefox forks that is maintaining old extension styles (PaleMoon may be the most common) and releasing a relatively recent version for that browser. I know you can't support every browser out there, but the newest firefox kills enough other extensions (in ways that can't be fixed, because the newer kind is much more limited what it can do) that there are probably going to be a significant number of users migrating to Firefox forks.

I have no idea if Swordwhale's suggestion is feasible or not but if it is or even might be, I'd like to add my support for having such an option one day!

A lot of good ideas on here but none would help me as much as the mobile app.

[Richard Powell 889]

I agree, mobile applications are gaining momentum

[Oladon]

I've just released version 2.6.0, which adds the custom campaigns page arranger — removing that from this list. Also removing the "need to post indicator", which had 30 votes, as that's been completed for a while; if you voted for that, feel free to reallocate those votes to something else.

For all those interested in the mobile app, do note that Firefox for Android supports the extension.

Thank you for the update and for continuing to work on and maintain this extension! <3

Leaving my original votes the same (mobile app, post composer, PbP finder) but thanks for the prod to re-read the list of features and make changes if we desire :)
