Style Tag Plugin v2.3.1 [support thread]

[SailorEffinMoon]

Hi again. I just wanted to say thank-you for fixing the link to your guide and maybe point something out. I'm pretty much a noob to CSS and whatnot so maybe I'm wrong but... In your guide you say "You may omit quotation marks if you prefer".

The word "may" suggests to me that you can either use or not use the quotation marks. That it wouldn't matter because the code would work either way. When I got to the [var] tag section I tested your example and it wouldn't work. So I removed all the quotation marks and everything worked afterwards.

Needless to say I won't be using quotation marks anymore.

Using this exactly?


[div]

[attr="class","my-class"]

This is my post!

[/div]

[var name="primary" value="black"]

[var name="secondary" value="blue"]

[newclass=".my-class"]background-color: [var="primary"]; color:[var="secondary"];[/newclass]
It works for me! The problem you might be getting is copying from a PDF, quotes are replaced with the curly quotation marks, which do not parse in HTML. So those need to be replaced with plain ol' quotes ("). Otherwise, yes, you do not need quotations for any of the elements, but is suggested to keep things clean and correctly parsed when values get long.

Ack ok, yeah that works. Good to know. The PDF was a little hard to read at some points due to misalignment so I ended up creating myself a thread of your guide and linked it back to here. If you do happen to check it out and see something I got wrong please let me know. Thanks again!

Yeah I just saw that now too.. I'll have to re-type it up. The old version of my document was on an older version of Word than what I use now, so that was probably what happened.

Question, which may make me seem dumb: if I were to want to use tags such as "<div style=blah blah blah</div>" would that be possible? I'm not sure I'm understanding how this plugin works. Thank you for helping!!

If you download the style-tag.pdf (96.83 KB) Documentation/Help Guide, it tells you how to use the style tags.

Hello! This query of mine may be a little... off, and I apologize in advance if this isn't the place to make it. In truth, I'm having an issue with a different plugin than the Style Tags, but my friends' and I's best guess at the source of the problem actually lies here, instead. I've already left a message in the other plugin's support thread with this same issue, but I figured I'd take the extra step and bring it here, as well. At best, the issue lies here and we can get the problem solved. At worst – well, that's one possible source of issue to cross off the list!

I've been having issues with the Tabbed Sections in Posts plugin, which you can see here (in contrast to what it should look like, as seen in its code-identical counterpart); this is one of many, by which I mean every template I've posted on this board that: a) uses the Tabbed Sections in Posts plugin, and b) uses a class, more specially the [attr] tag within the [Ptab] tag. If no [attr] is present, the plugin works as it should. Since [attr] is used to denote classes via this pluggin, and this version of the Style Tags is the only one I've had this particular issue with, you can see why we thought to double check with this support thread as well as the Tabbed Sections thread. My friend – who I don't think has a Support account, so I can't tag her – has apparently had similar issues of non-functionality on her own recent board. There's a possibility this latest update has done something to make these two plugins non-compatible.

There's always a chance, of course, that the problem lies elsewhere, and I'm just an idiot for not having caught it yet! I've double checked my code in the template itself, taken out and re-added potentially conflicting scripts, and done a fair bit of plugin re-arranging, which I know has caused not identical, both other problems in the past – but none of these potential fixes have had any results. If you can think of anything else that I could try that may help, let me know! If you need more information, let me know! If this was completely the wrong place to post this and you'd like me to remove myself from this thread... l-let me know, and I'm very sorry! 8'D Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what help I can be other than to suggest putting the style tag plugin below the Tabbed Sections plugin. The newest version of style tags goes from the inner most elements to the outermost, so if the tabbed sections are not there before style tags is executed, it'll go to the closest element and put its magic to work there instead of the html that the tabbed sections plugin puts in for its tags.

Already tried this, unfortunately, and with no such luck. c': I've probably moved these plugins around in every possible combination of 'em, but the problem persists. c':

Aaaaah, sorry for bothering you with a problem that's probably not in your power to fix. Thank you for the quick response, anyway, and for getting back to me at all! <3

If you were to go back to that version of style tags (v2.1.0 I think), then it would work. You could maybe ask that forum for their Style Tag plugin. (even though the latest and greatest is 150% faster than the old version )

Ooooh, hopefully that would work! The faster speed would be nice, but loading times weren't usually enough of a problem that I think people would be too broken up about it. That begs the question, though: H...how exactly would I go about getting a previous version of the plugin? :'D I have it installed on some past forums, but how to go about getting it from THERE to THIS site is a complete mystery to me. ;u;

From version 2.1.0 on, the plugin was editable. So you should be able to go into the "Build" part of the plugin area in the admin panel and do an "export to computer" or whatever. And then take that and upload it on your current site.

Very late but - yes, that worked perfectly! Thank you so much! I actually hadn't even realized that the plugin was edittable, pfffft, so that's good information to know going into the future. XD But yesss, you're a godsend. <3 Thank you again!

[Boy_Wonder]

Bennett 🚀 - I'm not sure if your still doing work on this but is there any chance that this could be altered to at least strip out the style tag items for custom pages?
