Sorithar Posted May 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 Sorry, not sure where this post belongs, wondering about the following features, do they exit and/or could they..? - Make a Topic private so all threads and posts in that Topic are visible only to allowed members. Would be helpful for knowing where a DM's private stash might go... - Copy/Move a Topic, in its entirety, from one game to another. Would make it easy to move OOC information, homebrew etc. from game to game if desired. Thank you, -S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you're asking about Topics (the collection). This has been asked; it's not easily accomplished but I haven't ruled it out. 5 minutes ago, Sorithar said: Copy/Move a Topic, in its entirety, from one game to another. Moving is already possible. Copying could be considered but if we are talking about setting information, Pages are a better solution than Topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think it might be useful to be able to copy Topics, but thank you for brining Pages to my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course you can restrict access to threads by making them private or only available for certain members.

Baldr New User Guide - Articles - Myth-Weavers Thank you, hadn't tried Pages yet and I see they can be made private. They seem to be a solution, though I don't understand the difference between Topics and Pages yet. Is it that one can host Threads and the other cannot? I realize threads can be made private and am using that feature, but if I have a Topic with multiple private threads, seems to make sense it would be nice to be able to make the whole Topic private. Just figured I'd ask. If its too complicated, I'll survive without the feature, lol. Thank you for the input though! -S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwatford Posted May 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 Pages are static pages and do not have replies or comments. Useful for setting information, etc. Table of Content links also work in pages. That is what the New User Guide uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorithar Posted May 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 OK, looking at Pages, I could see how this might be a solution, but it seems the a "Page" is sort of a single page... Need to figure out how the table of contents works, that is one viable option here. To try and be more informative here, say I have this thread: https://test.myth-weavers.com/index.php?/topic/2571-fr-role-play-resources/ It resides in the "Player Resources" Topic in my game, but its a catch all that applies to resources for any player in any of my games set in this setting, with information on useful touches to make a character more "campaign specific" and general useful information. It would take a lot of editing to make all this information sit on one page in an orderly manner. Using a new locked post for each topic covered in the thread is cleaner. Now I want to copy this thread to the "Player Resources" Topic in another game set in the same world... Does this clarify why I'm asking if I can copy a Topic or Thread to another game..? Cheers! -S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted May 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 I do get it. You can actually make multiple pages, and even a separate game to house them. We're still working on the best solution long-term to replace what the Myth-Wiki used to do (somewhat awkwardly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
