beyondhelp's Issues

Folders not working

On the character page, previously created folders still exist and are operational. When trying to create a new folder, I am able to type in a folder name but when the window closes after clicking create folder nothing happens.

Delete not working

On the character page, the pop up window to type Delete never appears when trying to delete a character sheet meaning that as long as the extension is on, I cannot delete any characters.

Feature Request: Highlight CR on details

I hate searching for the CR text in the little NPC windows... it moves around based on how much text there is. I'd rather a copy of it at the top right as an overlay... kinda like the below. I just used CSS to manipulate the CR value. A better solution would be to inject a new element with a copy of part of the data... ie, split the CR value and text (which are both in the same field) . Because I didn't have a way to inject JS in the page easily I couldn't jQuery it into existence. I think you'll get the drift.

Suggestion: Make folders more foldery

Not sure where this would go in the code or I'd have submitted a pull request.

This just sets the width of the folders to 33% and keeps the format of the rest usable. It doesn't align the way I'd like with the backgrounds, but it is more usable to me.

.listing-rpgbackground div.list-row {
    float: left;
    width: 33%;
}

.ddb-characters-listing-body {
    clear: both;
}

.listing-rpgbackground .homebrew-creation-actions {
    clear: both;
    padding-top: 2em;
}

BUG: Latest version is screwing up the copy and disable functions!

In a campaign when I attempt to disable a character with the sort on, it bows up.

Same thing happens on character list when attempting to copy. Unchecking the settings in the addon fixes the issue.

GM Campaign Tools

I'm unfamiliar with the limitations of chrome extensions, is it possible for them to pull content from other pages (other than the current one?)

Thought: DDB currently has no real GM tool.I'm thinking of clicking a button on the Campaign page which takes you to a GM view with a mini-character sheet per player all visible at once.

My idea is it would focus on attributes, skills, proficiencies, AC, HP, etc. Maybe even a place for initiative, which you could plug into the encounter view.

Pseudo code:
Inject trigger button
on click retrieve all character data on their respective pages
format data and display together on the pop-up.
Profit!

0.13.1 Thank you!

Not really an issue, just wanted to say, the My Characters page is SO much better! Thank you!

Export encounters

Could you add a bit to export the encounters we create, so that we can share them with others? Obviously they'd need D&D Beyond, and the plugin, and access to all of the monsters in the encounter, but I think it could be useful even with all of those requirements.

Characters page no longer shows characters

The characters page does not contain any characters or folders. Disabling the extension allows characters to show as normal.

Calculate XP

Can you add a feature to calculate an encounter's XP? That'll be very helpful.
If I could also divide it to characters, that'll be awesome.

Dark mode

Just an idea that I am missing from dndbeyond and may fit in your extension as I don't see it coming soon to dndbeyond. - A dark mode, as the title already suggests.

Characters showing as deactivated

Love the app, however it seems to be causing all of the characters in the Campaigns screen to be showing as deactivated (when they should still be active) when this extension is running. Confirmed by removing/re-enabling the extension, and it definitely seems to be the cause. Screenshot below. If there's any more information I can provide I'd be happy to help. Screenshot attached.

DNDBeyond Characters Page Sort

Sort and search has been added and and is overridden by Beyond Help. Can they be supported?

Folder Creation button not appearing

My friend introduced me to this extension, as I am well renowned in my D&D group for creating tons of characters, and how I wanted a way to sort them into folders. His was working quite fine, but when I installed the extension the button to create folders doesn't show up. he told me it was next to the "Create Character" button on the "My Character Page", but it isn't appearing, and uninstalling the extension or disabling and enabling the folder option in settings doesn't change it.

Has anyone got any solutions for this? I'm probably missing something in plain sight. Attached is a screenshot of my "My Characters" page, where the "Create Folder" button should be.

[Request] Add folders to Homebrew pages

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to request feature additions - please let me know if there is somewhere else to do this!

This is great extension, and I'm hoping it wouldn't be too difficult to add the same folder structure that is used on the My Characters page to the My Homebrew Creations and My Homebrew Collections pages of DndBeyond. It would really help sort out homebrew items I create for different campaigns.

Thanks!

Feature: Initiative numbers in Encounter

If initiative numbers could be added to the encounter screen, and then creature groups sorted by that initiative, that would be super handy.

Also adding characters to this (maybe with links to their character sheet) would be awesome.

Even cooler (but probably the hardest) would be linking a character's HP to their character sheet.

Character Folders not Appearing

Just installed this extension pretty specifically for the ability to sort characters into folders. Unfortunately it doesn't appear at all, my characters page is exactly the same. Any ideas why that might be?

Feature: Add link to Backgrounds from character creation screen

The current character creation - background page doesn't actually display the full text of the background. It would be great to have a link to the background page.

Extension was working, now it isn't.

I've been using this terrific extension for a while now and have used it's folder capabilities exclusively (I haven't had need for the DM stuff). I had all of my characters sorted into several different folder categories. Last night it was working just fine. Today, there are no folders. There is no folder button. Just nothing.

The extension is enabled and all the settings are the same as they were previously. I have it set to have full access to the dndbeyond site. I even uninstalled the extension, cleared my cache and then reinstalled it. Still nothing. Not sure if there was an update to the extension or perhaps to dndbeyond, but nothing I do seems to bring back my folders, or at least my ability to create them again.

Any ideas?

Folders Stopped Working

Every other feature is working, I can still manage encounters and the buttons to add monsters work, but the folders don't work. The buttons to make them are gone, and the folders I had disappeared. I think it might have something to do with linking my google account but that's the only thing I changed with my account before it stopped working

INFO: XIX is me :)

I had reported the issue to DDB, then realized it was beyond help, so I reported it here and then "closed" it there :)

[Feature Request]Add table of contents to each page

As far as I can tell, on any given page of a rulebook, to get to a different chapter you must go back to the Table of Contents, then go to the corresponding chapter. It would be nice if somewhere on the page, either at the top or along the side collapsible there were links to the other chapters in the rulebook

Tyranny of Dragons Out of Date

The Table of Contents for Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat are both out of date, as they've both been updated extensively for the Tyranny of Dragons release.

New Character Sheet

I just wanted to inform you that the character sheets have a new design, and ask if there was a plan in place for editing this extension to work with the new style.

Custom Map References, Toolbar not appearing

Using Chrome v77.0.3865.90, and navigating to pages like

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/bgdia/sword-of-zariel#S7TrantoloxsLarder
or
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/toa/tomb-of-the-nine-gods#Map51RottenHalls

I am unable to see any toolbars appear when I go to Beyond Help > Map References (Custom), and create a new bundle and click on "draw". For the second example link, it refreshes the compendium page, but no toolbar can be found anywhere.

Character Sort Order (and Search)

Improvement request:

Love the folders...

The default order would be helpful to have as an option (date vs alphabetic). Make it a toggle on the page.

Having a search box which filters the visible items would be cool too!

Firefox support

Is it possible to make a firefox variant as well?

Feature: Add "Sort" to Characters screen

While I generally like having characters sorted alphabetically, I would like to toggle that and most recent. Because I have an insane amount of characters built as the GM, it is sometimes difficult to find them.

Proposal: Add a button which alternates between "Alphabetical" and "Date Created" maybe with a filter symbol in front of it. All it would do is bypass your alphabetical sort if on Date Created, or enable if on Alphabetical.

It should also remember the last setting.

Custom Character Sheet Backgrounds

Would be cool to inject a "pick a custom background" into the background selector (just ask for a URL)

Alternate Folder Organization Method

Add a small +Folder icon to each character.

Pop-up a folder selector "Move to..."

You could even have a "New folder" option there.

I would find that more intuitive for organizing.

In this way you could also move a character from one folder to the next easily.

Not working in Chrome

I may be missing something dreadfully simple, but I can't seem to get this extension to work. I don't see others are having a problem. For example, the extension is supposed to allow for folders in the characters view, but it's not there. What am I doing wrong? I have a feeling I'm going to be embarrassed when you tell me lol ...
