It seems like either the OP responded to my message, or they just figured it out by themselves.

I just made an image with a prompt of a combination of [100 random objects] and some of them has unusual containers for the popcorn or even non-food objects being put inside of that stack of popcorn. The prompt does contain the word bag of popcorn, just to mention.

Perchance already has a dedicated dark mode button for their t2i-based generators like ai-text-to-image-generator, so I think they could implement something like that into the main pages too.

Are you mentioning AI generators or all sorts of Perchance generators? Either way you should ping @[email protected] for stuff like this.

You can't assign variables in the middle of a list, instead you would move this part to the output assignment so it would actually create the variable that could be evaluated by the ..., r = recipies.selectOne, r.name] instance:

[f=createInstance(ingredients.flour.selectOne), createInstance(b=ingredients.flour.selectOne)]

Like this:

Why does this happen?

Perchance recognizes and evaluates the f variable assignment block I've mentioned before as the child of the list pie which is a child of the list recipies, making it unusable when called it directly within the variable's name. To fix this you'd need to execute that assignment before the recipies list is evaluated (as I've said before).

The event should end on September 30th, because it doesn't make any sense if it ends on a nonexistent date, and it displays as Oct 1 on the Hub. Overall great to see the generator jam is being hosted by another person!

Great to see the tutorials are using screenshots of the new Perchance interface! 😃

You can use Tab or keyboard shortcut Ctrl+] to indent a line without having to move the cursor to the first few characters. Also Shift+Tab or Ctrl+[ to unindent the line in the same way.

Same with me too when testing. Also, it popped the code from a wrong generator when I input generators like power-name and power-generator-manager (but it didn't throw an error)

Great! From this I could better see that if a generator's meta image thumbnail is this one, it is most likely a remix of the original AI Text to Image Generator (this also applies to other original image generators with the meta image already set up as well). There are some of them scattering around the generators page right now.

 

Yeah, the special announcement has finally been released, this time I decided to put it into the Announcements section of the Generator Manager instead of creating a whole new generator page unlike the previous two big announcements. Asides from the usual generator updates, the announcement will also be filled with some "internal" updates for adjustments with my current workflow to make my daily job on updating and managing generators even easier to manage and more flexible in the future (hopefully).

Go check out to see what's to be expected! And to not forget, there'll still be some new projects and stuff (such as new generators and plugins) as usual.

Just a post about a bit of recap of how my generator manager has progressed through a very long waiting gap since the second big milestone... though the announcement WILL (hopefully) be up before June 15 or the upcoming days (if I have time, of course).

⚡⚡⚡

NB: the announcement will be all about "internal" changes; how I will make my daily job of exploring and managing generators here even more flexible, relaxed, and overall, a bit better of course. And also, there are a few exciting generator updates too, as usual, including the long-awaited 2.0.20.1 update.

 

Just recently, I've tried to add an option that disables loading all comments upon reload of the page (with the disableCommentsLoad option) but hasn't been quite possible yet ever since. Been stuck on this entire frame loading problem in my "under-construction" advanced comments plugin demo and it's been really hard to resolve as of right now. I also added a ?disableCommentsLoad=true URL parameter into the generator page so that it disables reloading all comments directly after page load.

It would also be great if that feature would actually be implemented into the comments plugin itself. Could be very handy to avoid situations like the "connection stalling" problem (see this post and the comment), and just to overall reduce unnecessary background connections, especially if you're on a browser that doesn't have a "memory saver" feature (essentially to "sleep" tabs like that to stop all the connections in the background).

But yeah, this time I wanted to make a post instead of troubleshooting the problem myself to see what solutions from other people could be (and especially for the known issues on the project). 🙂

Here's a demonstration from the thumbnail (with the disableCommentsLoad option enabled).

 

When I open my view counter experiment page to check around, I noticed a pretty surprising hit on one of the biggest official generators on all of Perchance. The ai-text-to-image-generator generator has passed 10 million views! Yup, millions, not thousands. That's far off from other official generators which have gotten around one to four million views.

And that's just a few moments ago, now it has already gotten over 50.0k additional views as of this post was created.

What is this URL request? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by BluePower to c/[email protected]
 

I've been seeing more of this bizarre type of request whenever I look at the DevTools Network, with a strange request URL from https://perchance.org/cdn-cgi/rum. But whenever it stalls or not, it sometimes still lets me save the generator properly, and in some cases, it halts the saving and loading process almost indefinitely. But any good explanation is appreciated!

That is the details of the "pending" rum request:

After so many days of suspension due to so many activities outside the generator building stuff earlier this month, I'm finally back from that and now trying to get back to work on this very announcement thing. I know it might have been late now, but it's never been too late to do it.

Here's a quick artwork to represent what'll happen in the next couple days from when this post was created.

This is just a little bit of an encouragement post to me - but more is about to come this month!

Just gotten up to write this kind of small announcement for the day. Been focusing entirely through my life for a couple days and haven't gotten any motivation to do some Perchance related things for now.

But I hope I'll be able to launch the 20.0k special announcement earlier this month, hopefully...

 

If you were looking at The View Counter Experiment lately, you might have noticed that I've added a new "Random Stuff" tab in the right side, and there lies a "sentence-based" poem generator powered by the AI Text Plugin.

The poem was based on the sentence from the synthetic sentence generator:

We are sure glaringly thunderstorm introduce is enough.

The poem was cool enough that I wanted to post it here on the community.

Here's the poem just in case the image does not load

The sky's tumultuous fury, a symphony of sound, A thunderous boom, a flash of lightning's bound, The clouds, once white, now dark as night, We stand beneath and wonder, "Is this really right?"

As rain, once gentle, now comes down hard, The earth, once dry, now quivers and yields, The world around us, now drenched and wet, We feel the power of the storm, and yet,

We know that life must go on, despite, The tempests that may rage, both in and out, For in the midst of chaos, there's a spark, A hope that peace will come, that doubt will shrink.

 

I've just found another pretty cool way to get rid of the error box in a generator without using the __clearPerchanceErrors() function that you can run on the testing panel to get a similar effect (as mentioned by @[email protected] that it's probably a "private function" as well along with other alike properties in the Perchance engine), and so I made another quick example on how you can do that.

The difference is that the error box only gets "hidden" while you can still review the errors by running [__showPerchanceErrorBox(), ""] in the testing panel, whilst all the errors get removed completely with the __clearPerchanceErrors() method.

I've also showcased how you can show the error box even when there aren't any errors in the generator whatsoever.

 

Note to everyone who used my Power Tabs Plugin before, if you ever had so many tabs on your tabs plugin and having an overlapping text issue on the plugin like this:

I've recently mitigated about the issue, and well, there's now a very handy solution to this! You can use some HTML styling, by setting a fixed width across all the tabs like this:

<style>
  ._powerTabs td {
    width: 150px;
  }
</style>

This will make all the tabs in your generator adjust its width beyond its technical limits, and thus will make the top part scrollable if those tab heads' widths occupy more than the entire width of the tab container.

Some notes:

  • You can just put the HTML snippet above anywhere in the HTML panel or put the innerHTML of it into your already existing style element if you have one.
  • You can see the fix in action in this example I just made.
  • This fix will apply to all the tab containers in your generator if you have more than one of them, like on this example. If you want the fix to apply only on certain tabs, you'd need to wrap the [tab(...)] thing that outputs the tabs plugin into a div or a p element like this: <p class="myTab">[tabs(...)]</p> and then give a class on it, and then you can insert a different HTML styling like this:
<style>
  .myTab ._powerTabs td {
    width: 150px;
  }
</style>
  • If you want to set the tab to be wider, you can change the width to a larger number like 200px, 225px, 250px, and so on.

I've just updated the plugin with a small addition of adding a special class to the outer layer of the tab container, so you'll be able to do this fix by yourself and, in addition, do some advanced CSS styling on the plugin (which you'll be able to do through the lists soon!)


Additional info worth to mention: If you have the wordwrap option set to wrap in your tabs, the tab heads will adjust to the minimum width needed to fit on to the titles, but not adjusting to its fixed width. If that fix doesn't work, try replacing the width part after ._powerTabs td { with min-width so the tab heads will explicitly adjust to their minimum width.

You can actually apply the wordwrap = wrap behavior only for the tab content without affecting the tab heads so the fix above will still work:

  ._powerTabs > div > div {
    word-wrap: break-word;
  }
 

Just a casual question, because I might (or might not) have just a few cancelled projects due to it being out of date, or I just no longer motivated/interested enough to work on them. But I might also bring back and start to work on some long-announced updates (like the massive database update on my welcome page copy collection page) which I'm not deciding to cancel it because I left some copy-collecting automation behind for so long and I kind of wanted to drop them into the page soon.

 

I've been enabling/disabling the auto-reload pretty frequently now for many reasons and doing that with a move of the mouse sometimes annoys me when I had to move my cursor away from the left side of my screen. Will there be a dedicated keyboard shortcut for that rather than having to click on the checkbox in the editor every time?
