Uhhh, these and Hello Kitty Island Adventure for the Switch, though it does have a steam listing.
Also, the steam widget is nice and all but having to code it to work with the forum is kinda pain in the booty.

I'm just lazy. But being able to place the link to the game in without having to edit for the widget itself to work, would be wonderful.
Like say I want to link FF7: Rebirth on steam I would have to do this;
Code:
[steam]https://store.steampowered.com/widget/2909400/[/steam]Code:
[steam]https://store.steampowered.com/app/2909400/FINAL_FANTASY_VII_REBIRTH/[/steam]Thus, maybe both would get here; but the widget one works better I'm assuming.

Ah, I see. I know one way would be to make it where just using the number in the URL would work because I can make it where the BBCode automatically puts the rest of the widget URL around it.

Ah, sounds interesting. If that doens't work, it's fine. I don't mean to be a pain in the butt. :3

Funnily enough when I first made that new BBCode I debated whether to make it just use the number in the URL but because people wouldn't realize that was how the code worked I figured that approach would cause a problem. I'll likely just keep the current version but make a secondary Steam BBCode that can use just the number so that way those who know of the shortcut method can take advantage of it without those unaware of the shortcut being negatively affected.

I downloaded the plugin (no I don't have a mybb board but maybe one day) so I could look at the code to see what the back end looks like. It looks to me that some of it might be hosted on a server, so that it can pick up the info from steam and show up though mybb. Interesting. I would love to make the same kind of plugin for proboards, but I think I would probably have to host either a proboards site or have one point to it somehow. Still, it's interesting to see how it was coded. :3

Wait, you understand how to read and write code? Idk that.

Did you teach yourself how to code, or did you learn from tutorials/schooling and such?

My mom taught me how to code, when I was like 12 years old. I should be learning new code stuff (I feel) but I've been sick dealing with a bacterial thumbnail infection and the antibiotics I'm on are kicking my booty atmo. So maybe when I'm better I'll look into doing that. :3

What program do you use to write code with? I recently learned of a program called Visual Studio Code and I'd highly recommend it for making things way more efficient and offering a ton of useful plugins.

There's a program to help with coding now? I was taught how to code from the ground up. Back when the computer was just in it's infancy and websites we're first becoming a thing. I do all of my coding on notepad then save it as an coded file, like if I needed to save it as a php I'd save the code as such in my dropbox. Good to know there's a program out there for those who need it.

The only reason I've been using Visual Studio Code is because one of my current college classes requires it, and it's nice that it'll autofill things quickly and immediately give you a warning if something is incorrect and specifically why.(Mar 1st, 2025, 12:51 AM)Moonface Wrote:What program do you use to write code with?

How hard is it to learn php? Not necessarily to write anything from scratch but even just to understand what any of it means? I tried looking at it one time and just immediately bounced off from how overwhelming it looked. XD

It's the first forum software I learned how to code for back when I was learning forum coding. For me it seemed simple enough. I think it's all in how you look at it. To me the code between php and mybb is just php is older and easier. Whereas mybb is newer and probably easier to code for younger folk. (My take.)
