...or perhaps you just want to quote dAmn chatter in your own journal skin?
updated on July 7th 2008
I've updated the look of the skin so it reflects the changed dAmn. Also included is code to replicate the 'more' popup window - with a working close button that hides it on hover.
If you want the old version, which looks like the previous version of dAmn, follow the old instructions.
Note that the position of the journal's title (the topic bar) will be off when viewing this in v5... v6 here we come!
__________________
This is dAmn #journal, a journal skin made in collaboration between `frozenpandaman who came up with the initial idea to make a journal based on the look of dAmn, and myself, `thespook , who took that idea and fleshed it out into working journal CSS.
After many days of work and the help of the following beta testers it's finally ready for public use
- ~Asphyziata
- ~vaniergt89
- =JurgenDoe
- =Stickmanwww
- ^Ikue
- `ginkgografix
- =popcorn-pops
- =masked-racoon
- =ashescry
One of the features of this journal skin is that it can emulate the look of dAmn chatter, whether you just want to post a quote, or if you want to make the entire journal look like it's straight out of dAmn. See this journal to get the idea.
To make it simpler to write journals like this, @sine-out and myself have written scripts you can use to import copied dAmn chatter.
- devart.koopseht.net/damnimport/ is my script. It's javascript based, and while not having any obvious bugs, it doesn't play nice with IE for now.
- devart.sineout.com/damnjournal/ is @sine-out 's handywork. It's PHP based, so it works in any browser.

CSS are often challenges, this is amusing

Wow, this is amazing. Finally, a journal CSS style for dAmn addicts. You pwn dude.

well, you've got =frozenpandaman to thank for providing the inspiration behind it - but I'm proud of the result, so I'm glad you like it
There's one or two things I'll need to fix in the next version ( /me lines that refer to your username aren't treated like they are in dAmn for instance) so if you have any ideas, let me know and I'll work them in

Awesome work! This would be great fun to use.

Put in the readme that that should change `thespook at the top to their username - and they can change #Resources and #spook to other things as well.

It's already there.

well, if they didn't change it, they'd have *username everywhere instead actually. what it looks like they're doing is taking the demo journal I included and using that instead

Looks amazing! I'm so glad I got the chance to test it!

You know, I had to update my editor to stop you clobbering its layout. And I hate using '!important'.
It's a great piece of CSS, though. I'm not much for dAmn, and even I think it looks cool.

It was the p's after all eh?

Yup.
Your avatar, by the way, is sneaky; it keeps changing colour while I'm not looking.

Might be an FF bug, but it keeps turning black when I'm not looking. See for yourself .

I gotta say, if you're a big user of dAmn then this will make you feel right at home, no?

Oh boy, I've really got to get my arse into gear and get the importer finished

It's fixed now so it doesn't bork so badly, it's still not perfect, but it's a lot better than it was earlier.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm trying, trust me, but it seems as though, every time I fix one thing, I create two new problems.
It'd probably help if I were better at regexes (before the importer I have hardly touched a regex string and thought that making the importer would be a good way to get my foot in that door), but in the mean time, I have had to slow down how much I update the importer, because, if I fix an issue, I'll likely end up breaking something else

What's the current issue?
It seems fine to me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, obviously, if there are messages address 'to you' (as it were) that aren't in the form tags, which can obviously be a problem. 👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Obviously, it works well enough, but, the perfectionist in me wants it to be, well, perfect :B
wait, since when were
tags parsed in comments?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haven't they always been?

Okay - I hope to see the final product soon!

The 'final' product is done, it should now flawlessly convert dAmn chatter, should, of course, being the operative word there :B

Does it put a space between the /me and the [message] ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've never had a need to try to work out how to code that in (there'd be no point anyway, if the username is conjoined to the action in the me, it'd be nigh impossible to work it out), every single time I've ever copied from dAmn it has given me all /me lines with spaces between the username and action, so, it doesn't put a space in.
