Toolbox Buttons

The sidebar on my personal scrapbook uses a collapsible box to hold all the “Toolbox” buttons since adding more logo link shortcuts to TTR communities. I don’t need to see the buttons when there’s nothing to add and the sidebar won’t be super tall next to some pages of content that are much shorter.

It’s pretty easy to add collapsible sections via Wikidot syntax. The code looks like this with some of the parameters set...

[[collapsible show="+Toolbox" hide="-Toolbox" folded="yes"]]

button modules go here. if you want to use it for other content, don’t forget to change the show / hide text accordingly

Links in Profile Fields

There are a couple different ways of linking to pages within your Wikidot site and when you first start using it, it’s easiest to do with the built in Rich Text editor. However, the profile fields that accept basic wiki markup (the wiki text field type) require entering things like links manually. 

The examples that come with the site when you clone it should be of some help, but to break it down here...it should look something like this:

For Blog Entries

* [[[justice-is-blind | Justice is Blind]]]

The asterisk (*) displays a list bullet. The text before the pipe (|) is the name of the page being linked to, after the pipe is the display text. These links always need to be enclosed in the three brackets [[[page-link | display title]]].

For Rewards

[[[unite-phrases:quackelyn | Quackelyn's Unites]]]

These need to include the reward category in the page name, which in this case is “unite-phrases” followed by the Toon’s name after the colon. The title can be something else. 

In my personal scrapbook, I use this for blog entries that are related to specific Toons and in some of the fields under “Rewards”. The result is functional, but links can’t be auto-added due to the limitations of the wiki text field (they won’t parse module codes).

Note that Step 2 controls how it looks on the profile, Step 3 is for the form field.

Add TTID to your Scrapbook

If you would like to add a TTID field to the toon profiles, follow these steps…

1. Find and edit your toons:_template page

2. ADD

Toon ID: TTID-%%form_data{ttid}%%

AFTER 

 Account #: %%form_data{code}%%

3. ADD

 ttid:    label: TTID-    type: text    width: 9

AFTER

 fields:  code:    label: Account    type: text    width: 3

Save your changes. Now it should be good to go ahead and enter the IDs.

To save a little time, this is coded so that you don’t have to include “TTID” when entering or updating them. Just put in the last 8 characters (with the dash) upon editing the profile field and it will show the full ID.

Greetings

Toon Scrapbooks is for players of Toontown Rewritten (or another TT server of their choice) who have cloned the site on Wikidot to keep track of their toons. If you haven’t yet and need a way to keep track of multiple toons/accounts, the link is in the sidebar over there. 

Wikidot is neat and has decent documentation to get you through the learning curve with their syntax. This blog will feature tips related specifically to the Toon Scrapbook, such as how to add more profile fields to the templates and other tidbits for helping new users. If you are using the site and aren’t shy, I’d love to see what you’ve done!
