Hey, tell me when that comes and/or when people can use Snapblocks without having to deal with going to Github, because I can't wait (that's not a mean statement, that's a statement of excitement)!
Never?
Wow, didn't know you were pessimistic about that.
In order to use snap blocks you either need to get the code from GitHub, or go to the GitHub page ego-lay made
That still sounds pessimistic. It makes no sense that the people who can't access Github can't use Snapblocks.
Unfortunately, they are right. Currently the only thing that uses snapvlock is the wiki, which hasn't updated to the latest snapblocks version yet. The only other way to use the latest version of snapblocks is to go onto the github site, or create your own basic website from the library yourself (which you can get from npm, not just github).
Well, currently. I was talking about in the future that wouldn't be the case.
Sorry, I didn't read the full conversation.
When they said
That is not true. You can currently use snapblocks on the wki (although it's an older version), and I am (very slowly) working on a discourse plugin, so it can be added to the forum.
Yeah, that's OK. Sometimes I don't read the full conversation either.
Ok, though I would like some clarification please.
What clarification?
...Basically the only information there is that you're working on a discourse plugin and that it will be added to the forum, but no other information.
I have a repository setup for it GitHub - snap-blocks/snapblocks-discourse: snapblocks discourse plugin, but it's currently just the plugin template, the code I've been working on is still on my computer. I've got discourse running on my computer, and I have been able to get a basic javascript functipn working, but I'm still trying to figure out how to load snapblocks.
It's also gonna take a while, because I'm also dealing with some real world stuff right now, so I don't have as much time as I used to.
Ok, can't wait for when it's finished so I can be able to use snapblocks!
I hope you're okay!
If you start a block with -, the glitch happens:
That's not a glitch, that's just a debug thing from scratchblocks. It's the same with +. If you want to put a - or + at the start of a block, just stick a backslash before it, like this
\- block
\+ block
Oh, I see. What's that used for then?
Honestly, I have no idea, since I didn't add it. My guess is just to see the actual width of a block.
Alright, for an update, I have been able to replace text inside
[snapblocks]
...
[/snapblocks]
without the discourse formatting (mostly)
Of course this is taking a very long time, because there is virtually no documentation for discourse plugins, only old discourse meta posts, which don't usually contain all the information, or are outdated. Another reason it's taking a while is because I have to restart discourse every single time I want to test it, which is slow, and it's running inside wsl. It's also taking up most of my ram (seriously, discourse is using much more ram than it says it should online).
Currently I'm trying to get it to replace the bbcode with an html element that also has attributes (the sanitizer removes attributes).
Exciting stuff!
(If you could use it, Gitpod offers a full linux container for you to use, and it works with Github, Gitbucket, and Gitlab. It's what I use for running things on my school computer, whenever I'm not using my Gentoo system. #NotSponsored)
