Factbook Question/Answer Thread

[Maltropia]

I wrote a maybe-helpful guide once that includes a brief discussion of anchors; see also ViZion's post in the same thread. Anchors work more or less the same gameside and forumside so if my guide makes sense you should be fine.

Brilliant, thanks so much, may you live to be a thousand years old.

Hey all, can anyone help me with getting the anchor element to work? I'm having trouble with it. I know it should be simple but for some reason I can't pull it off.

Here's a sample from my WIP factbook:

[url=INSERT-FACTBOOK-URL#Demo]4 Demographics[/url]

[b][u][size=150][anchor=Demo]Demographics[/anchor[/b[/u[/size

Once you've published your faxback, go back and copy/paste the URL into the [url=blahblahblah.net#Demo]. Just replace "Demo" and "Demographics" with something you want to link to. I took out some brackets so the BBCode would be visible, but you need to add them back in.

Hi! I'm having trouble with my table of contents, as I want to adjust the width.. Any idea how?
- A friend of mine helped me, I don't need help any more

I am posting a factbook.... Or trying to but it claims there are,"naughty words" in it. I am struggling to find these words... If someone could help me by letting me send the demo book to them and they preview it. Preferable NS moderators.

If there definitely aren't any words in there that'd get it censored, that seems odd. If you send me a pastebin link I can take a look and see what's up.

This is the code you use, both on the forums and in factbooks:

Code: Select all

Here, though, the image is too big (the limits are 900 pixels in width and height), so you should copy it into Paint and resize it to a smaller size (for a factbook, I recommend 250-300 pixels wide at most) and then re-upload it to an image-hosting website. I personally recommend imgur, since it's free and has no upload limits and doesn't even require an account (though you might want one to keep track of all your files ).

Another reason to reupload, even if the image is the right size, is that a lot of people don't like when you link directly to their website as it uses up their bandwidth (this is called hotlinking). Some websites' images won't work at all if hotlinked, or the image hosted at that URL can be changed, so it's safer for you to just upload it yourself.

I once had a factbook refuse to update for 'Naughty Words' because of a string that spelled a particular word in one of the links. Might give those a check too.

Which forum do I use to promote my region in so I can grow, because I can't afford the stamps for recruitment TGs.

[Liburia]

Can I create a chart like this one in my factbook?

[Achesia]

Trying to make a map for military unit locations. Ive used Gimp but honestly its a god awful made program and wants me to put a bullet in my head.

I'm trying to create a contents bar that shows all the topics in my factbook (like Geeography, HIstory etc.), but I'm not sure how you link it to them so the page moves down to it automatically.

[Sunset]

In your factbook,

(url=http://www.nationstates.net/nation=ponderosa/detail=factbook/id=97589#Ety]1 Etymology[/url) (Replace ( ) with [ ])

Will link to (anchor=Ety][/anchor)

I'm having trouble with the image insert.

Oh dear Lord there is no way on earth that's a real URL. Oh no it is. For one thing: [img]URL[/img] is the only valid format. Don't put your URL as part of a tag. To get a workable URL, I'd recommend downloading the image and reuploading it to an image host like imgur.com, Photobucket or somewhere. imgur also allows you to simply copy the image and paste it for faster uploading, which makes it easier. A valid image code should look like this:

Code: Select all

Anyone know of any way I can get one of those list of leaders (example here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_P ... ed_Kingdom) to work in a factbook despatch? Tried looking for examples to copy off, but drew a bit of a blank.

Ponderosa has a nice table about 3/5th's of the way down. Scroll down to 'Largest Cities'. You'll have to do some work to expand it out the way you want it, but that will cover the basic framework. For the 'Live' example see...

http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=97589

I think Ponderosa's factbook covers just about every factbook tag/mechanic out there, come to think of it. A good one to keep on file - explains why he's got nearly 900 up-flags!

Thanks very much! I always struggle to find exactly what I'm looking for in the dispatches without knowing specific nations! I'll get busy on this then.

EDIT: One more question. Is it possible to put pictures in tables?

Yes, but you'll need to be careful. If you don't have enough text or enough spacing of other kinds in the individual table cells you'll end up with a very odd looking table. If you don't already have something, I would encourage you to find a dedicated storage point for whatever images you are going to be using so that you can resize them, crop them, or otherwise manipulate them. I personally have a web hosting account where I store all my factbook images as well as other materials so that I both control them and don't rely on someone else hosting them and thus they suddenly disappear or are blocked.

As to how? Just insert (img)Image URL(/img) inside the table row.

I would also suggest that, so you don't screw up a factbook or dispatch that is presentable but needs work, that you create a 'testing' factbook. That way you can also isolate small sections of code such as the table array without worrying about other code sections messing it up.

My nation was DEATed a while ago, but I remember distinctly being able to view the factbooks again. Now when I do it, it says "nation=[nation] does not exist" How do I fix this?

This is the page you're looking for, I suspect.
