Saving Edited Generators even when not Logged In/Signed Up

There is a feature that was recently added which is the 'Edit Password' upon saving a generator that isn't yours (you are remixing another person's generator). It is for recovering/saving an edited generator without logging in (or those users that are having trouble with saving generators since the email verification is having problems). Steps: 1. Click edit in the generator you want to edit. 2. Upon saving, and **opt to create a generator** (since you can't save a generator to an account since you are not logged in), it would then give out a 'edit password'. **Remember/Save this generated string as well as the *newly* created URL (not the original one).** 3. Later on (as long as the local storage is not cleared) you can navigate again to that newly created page (while still not logged in into an account) then enter the edit password after clicking save to return back/apply your changes to the generator. ##### [A video demo of how it works.](https://streamable.com/7cbesl)

[Bug] (Fixed) Embedded Perchance Pages aren't updating

perchance.org

**Update 4: Fixed** Update 3: It seems that changing the 'src' of the `iframe` of the embedded seems to apply the changes. Clicking on the 'Go to Event' buttons on the home tab seems to revert the page to its previous versions. A [video recording of the problem](https://streamable.com/7hpgf2). Update 2: Can confirm that the changes are reflected after a couple of minutes, for now. Update: The embedded page has now reflected the changes. Will monitor if any other changes are immediately (or at least after a little bit of time) reflected. I'm posting again to re-open a previous bug. Previous Post: https://lemmy.world/post/15639946 Currently, the [/hub](https://perchance.org/hub) where the [/hub-events](https://perchance.org/hub-events) is embedded to, doesn't have the updated /hub-events page. I've updated the code in the /hub-events last July 25. But currently, the change to it isn't reflected on the embedded /hub-events on the /hub at the [Events tab](https://perchance.org/hub?page=events). Last time, it updated itself after a few minutes, but now two days have passed it hasn't updated yet.

[Plugin] Improved Make Table Plugin

perchance.org

#### [Improved Make Table Plugin](https://perchance.org/improved-make-table-plugin) This is a modification of the [make-table-plugin](https://perchance.org/make-table-plugin) with added features: - Row Heights (option to change heights of each row) - Row Alignments (option to change the alignment of the text in the row) - Header Rows (makes the first row of the table bold, and an option to stylize it) - Footer Rows (last row bold, and option to stylize it) - Column Header (bold first column of the table, and option to stylize it) - Caption (adds a Caption to the table, with option to place it at the top, and at the bottom, and to stylize it). Here is an example of a table that can be made from it:  I've also created a Helper to help create tables with the plugin at [Improved Make Table Plugin Helper](https://perchance.org/improved-make-table-plugin-helper).

[Bug/Suggestion] `create-instance-plugin` Doesn't Fix Deep Properties with Same Level Lists

Suppose we have the following list: ```plaintext createInstance = {import:create-instance-plugin} person name = [this.nameList] nameList Salman Manny Rhian age = {31-49} child = [this.child_obj] child_obj name = [this.nameList] nameList Anne Arram Amelia age = {3-17} ``` If we output: ```text [p = createInstance(person, "deep"), p.name] [p.age] [p.name] [p.age] ``` We can see that it has fixed the `name` and the `age` property on the instance. However, if we output: ```text [p = createInstance(person, "deep"), p.child.name] [p.child.age] [p.child.name] [p.child.age] ``` It would throw `undefined`. Now looking at similar list: ```text person name = {Salman|Manny|Rhian} age = {31-49} child = [this.child_obj] child_obj name = {Anne|Arram|Amelia} age = {3-17} output [p = createInstance(person, "deep"), p.child.name] [p.child.age] [p.child.name] [p.child.age] ``` This would have the values fixed and working. Looking at the code of the `create-instance-plugin`, it would only allow the 'deep' fixing of properties **if** there isn't any items/lists in it. What that means is the following: ```text child_obj name = [this.nameList] nameList Anne Arram Amelia age = {3-17} ``` This object/list, has a list ( `nameList`) within it as well as properties (`name` and `age`), while: ```text child_obj name = {Anne|Arram|Amelia} age = {3-17} ``` Only has properties. and based on `Line 22` of the `create-instance-plugin`: ```js ... } else if(propValue.getPropertyKeys && propValue.getPropertyKeys.length > 0 && propValue.getLength === 0) { ... ``` If the list to be fixed has a list within it other than the properties i.e. `propValue.getLength` is not zero, then it wouldn't fix the properties within it. The first `child_obj` has a `nameList` with it, and upon calling `propValue.getLength` it would have `1` while the second `child_obj` will return a `propValue.getLength` of `0` since it doesn't have any lists. Thus, the solution for the problem is just removing the `propValue.getLength === 0` check OR create another check without it. --- TLDR; `propValue.getLength === 0` at `Line 22` of the [create-instance-plugin](https://perchance.org/create-instance-plugin) can be removed to allow properties that rely on same level lists to be fixed. [Here is the demo of the problem](https://perchance.org/vnm320e3k6) with a 'remixed' create instance plugin with the fix.

[Issue] Cannot Access ElevenLabs API in `ai-character-chat` (Fixed)

I've been made aware that the [code](https://rentry.org/eam24g79) I've written to access text-to-speech from ElevenLabs API is no longer working. I've tested it and it seems that the CORS-Proxy that is being used in `ai-character-chat` currently doens't allow `POST` methods (which is being used to 'post' the text to be 'spoken' in ElevenLabs). Not a major/priority issue but might be nice to be fixed. I also wonder how many are using text to speech (even just using the [Speech Synthesis code](https://user-uploads.perchance.org/file/a0da0da67fe07f8ad9981ef3665d12fb.txt)) in the `ai-character-chat`....

[Plugin] URL Params doesn't work on `null.perchance` Domain (Fixed)

Found out about this possible improvement to the [URL Params Plugin](https://perchance.org/url-params-plugin) in which you currently **cannot** pass through URL params in the `null.perchance` domain in an `<iframe>` i.e. it doesn't parse the passed through parameters. I was able to pass through parameters in an iframe in the normal `perchance` domain, but without the `null` part, it has the navigation bar and seems to mess up the CSS. I'm currently applying it to 'navigate' from the 'Home' tab of the hub to the 'Events' tab, then select the appropriate events page using the URL params.

I have also added a dataset attribute `tablist` on the `<a>` elements inside the `<li>` elements which will be the `tabListKey` (this is important to only reset the current tab's list and not all the tabs). - On the `let contents` code, I've also renamed the `data-belongs-to-tab-list` to just `data-tablist`. - On the main div with class `tabs-plugin`, I've also added the `data-tablist` to specify which tab has which key. - On the reverted `Tabs` function, I've added a `tabList` variable which is taken from the tab list key of the main tab element. - I've modified the `reset` function to pass through the tab list key to only reset the tab with the same keys, preventing resetting of the other tabs. It uses the `querySelectorAll` and selects only the items with the specified tab list key. - I've also modified the `onClick` function to pass through the tab list key to only update ( and reset ) the specified tab.

[Plugin] Remembering `textarea` Resize Size with `remember-plugin`

[@perchance@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/perchance) - pinging dev :) Here is my implementation of 'remembering' the resized size of the `textarea` inputs. It is using the `ResizeObserver` ([documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ResizeObserver)) and will only observe `textarea` elements with `resize` style property enabled. It is enabled with the `@inputs`: ``` [remember(root, "@inputs")] ``` **EDIT**: It would only save the resized size **if you have inputs** on the textarea. **EDIT 2**: Fixed width responsiveness (for elements with `width: 100%; max-width: ... ; resize: vertical` where if the width gets lower than its maxed, it would save the width and fix the size without option to resize it back (since it is only `resize: vertical`). It now only saves the resizable direction i.e. height if resize is `vertical` and vice versa. For `both` or normal `textarea` it would save both width and height. Here is the modified plugin: https://perchance.org/t2w8fixecn Here is an example of it: https://perchance.org/5tfbmi0gtc

[Request] `data.inputs` on `onStart(data)` or `onFinish(data)` in the `text-to-image-plugin`

On the `ai-text-plugin`, there is a way to get the inputs that were sent to the AI using the `onStart(data)` function: > `onStart(data)` - the code you put in this will run at the start of the generation process. You can access the inputs being used with `data.inputs.instruction`, `data.inputs.startWith`, etc. I am wondering if we could also get the same for the `text-to-image-plugin`? It can be either on the `onStart(data)` or on the `onFinish(data)` in which we can get the inputs/static values that were used for the response of the AI e.g. `data.inputs.prompt`, `data.inputs.negativePrompt`, etc. With this, some features that can be implemented is a *local history of past generations*, in which the previous inputs were temporarily stored in the storage (or on the local storage so even if the page reloaded, the history is saved), then the users can revisit the previous generations (I have set up something similar like this on my text to image generators but they have some hacks to work). This is not really a priority but might be good to have. Thanks!
