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.

Noob Question (lemmy.world)

Let me start by saying thank you to all of the people who have made creating a t2i page quick and easy. The t2i framework makes itba snap to get a page up and running. I am a complete noob to coding so I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing but I'm doing it with confidence lol.

The question: Is there a way to pass the prompt data from a select input directly into a paragraph (description) box. I know modifiers can do it but I would like to try something different (for me). I'd like to try a gen option, using the t2i framework, where a user can see in real-time what is being added to the prompt without having to use modifiers to do so.

Thanks for any productive responses. Please go easy on the new guy. I can't be doing all that bad as I've had over 22k views in a couple of weeks. ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks, Mack

<input type="text" id="shownHere">
<select id="userChoosesHere" onchange="document.getElementById('shownHere').value=this.value;">

Something like this?

Honestly I have no idea lol. That's why I was asking. I was hoping for something that was already built in to the t2i framework and could just be added to the normal "paragraph" type. Similar to the way modifiers add their text to the description. I know zero Javascript. I'm plan on getting started learning it soon. Until then I don't even know what to do with what you volunteered. Kinda hopeless I know lol.

Is possible (like in the Koto comment) and you can make it to visualize and edit only if something is checked/cliked, I think I saw some generator with this option in the generator list.

I just made it to test, i think i will put it in my gen.. https://perchance.org/example-aaaa1

Also try learning js with AI, ask the AI how to do some functions in Javascript and try learning some js basics, then try to apply that in something simple in a new page on perchance. Also the basic perchance syntax is very helpful (selectOne, selectAll, getChildNames, etc)

Thanks! Now I just need to figure out how to make all of my styles and options do the same thing. I have a lot of drop down menus lol. You guys have beena huge help. ๐Ÿ˜
