โš„๏ธŽ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

If you mean a public gallery or public generators or such, you'd need to add the script details yourself but you could shlap something like this in.

<!-- sample search thingy -->

<!-- sort filter section -->
<div style="margin: auto; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; flex-wrap: wrap;">
  <span class="mainctls sortctl" style="margin-left: 8px; font-family: inherit; color: red;" >
    <select id="sortSelect" onchange="handleSort(this.value)">
      <option value="default" selected>Sort</option>
      <option value="a-z">A-Z</option>
      <option value="z-a">Z-A</option>
      <option value="dateCreated">Date Created</option>
      <option value="newest">Newest</option>
      <option value="oldest">Oldest</option>
      <option value="mostViews">Most Views</option>
    </select>
  </span>

Nice simple generic search thingy, but then you kinda have to hope that they have tags or references to filter. This is just a scuffy sample but, its a simple start if you want to use it and work from. You need to populate the handleFilter(this.value) and handleSort(this.value) to work depending on how you want to use it, i left them empty so you can work away with it.

Are you sure these are built-in functions of plugin? I tried using handleFilter(this.value) and handleSort(this.value), but I got an error saying that there are no such functions. Without the actual code for these functions, it won't work

Oh those are just place holders for setting up a search for yourself, i just gave you a rough wireframe start to work with. Like i said some people might not tag or add references or descriptions into their uploads so it might not find everything which isnt a bad thing, just shows nobody is adding tags or details or such.
