about
This Thread Tracker is a simple notebook style that kind of matches my CR Notebook ~~ie, I lifted all the default colors from it /cough~~

The code is pretty straightforward and easy to update, but with trackers trying to keep up with everything and update can be annoying. So for those interested, I have made an automated script for this particular tracker. I've made it as easy to use as possible so that all anyone has to do is input their data and run it, but there are ways to customize it a little more.

Further instructions are detailed below within the cuts.

A small credit code is included, but any credit goes to

laenavesse @

efryndiel. Once again I must honor DimensionSlip for providing a base and concept for the automations and fun fact, the sorting methods are actually based of a script we used for the Taken lists in

empatheias and

forgottentales.

raw code instructions

» Pastebin for the raw code. You can save or c/p the code and edit it as you see fit: Thread Tracker: Notebook

» The colors used are:

#866a4c: navigation year text; navigation border; page header bg
#f7f6f3: navigation month bg
#804024: navigation month text; page link
#efd2b2: navigation arrow; page header text
#f9f9f7: page bg
#d3cec0 : page bg line
#3e2f22: page text
#c2b59f: page border

» As mentioned the text will automatically "cut" or "hide" once it hits the limit.
» The symbols provided are completely random and can be whatever you want.
» To add more "Month Pages" use the code between "MONTH CONTAINER" and "END MONTH CONTAINER". Same for adding years to the navigation, only you're looking for the BOX: YEAR and corresponding END header.
» When adding or removing pages, make sure the anchor tag (ex; <a name="jan2021">) matches the links for the Month pages on the navigation (ex; <a href="#jan2021">).
» Use <br /> tags for line breaks!
» You can adjust the height of the main container to be longer or shorter to fit your needs. Just be sure you change in the height in both the first container and the Notebook Page Container. The default is ex; 650px for both.

automated script and instructions

After reading about the raw code, you may be tempted to have something that could reduce the work for you. Google Spreadsheets allows the user to create app scripts, and with this tool it can take the data in the sheet and generate the code. With the number of threads you might have, this will make maintaining and organizing everything a breeze. If you want to make certain modifications, it's not difficult and quite easy, but it does require a few extra steps that those unfamiliar with how spreadsheets and coding work might find a little daunting at first. But the payoff is worth it.

There is even a script to let you preview the code within the spreadsheet! Handy.

Also, the generated code doesn't have any line breaks so it's...one giant mess. But since you're c/ping everything it shouldn't matter too much, ah ha... However, if it does matter to you there is HTML Formatter that will make it less of a giant blob! Just C/P the giant blob and it will reformat into something more legible.

Here is the spreadsheet. To save, Make a Copy of it for your own use: Thread Tracker: Notebook

It's already "pre-filled" with random data for up to three years so you can see how it works. You're free to remove any of those extra years, it'll work with just one year just fine. Should you ever need to make a new year, just duplicate the Year Template and you're good to go.

I have included detailed instructions on how to do practically everything you could possibly do with the code with minimum risk. But if you have any questions or need help with modifications, just comment and I'll take a poke, even customize it for you if possible. However, I am not a professional, so my own abilities are limited.

Hello!

I'd like to use days instead of months on this tracker but I'm not sure how to add more than 12?
Like here's my preview:

boop

I'm using the spreadsheet automated tracker thing. Sorry if this is badly described or too complicated!

Just want to be sure I understand right, so instead of months, you organize your threads by day? Do you also sort them into years or are you imagining the side navigation to look something like:

January
- day one
- day two
- day three
...
- day thirty-one
etc.

February
- day one
- day two
- day three
...
- day twenty-eight
etc.

and so on O:

I actually don't want months at all, just days. The game I'm using this for is set up by like log one was day 1-3 or whatever so I organised my threads just into days. My current tracker is here but I really like yours better (also it matches the notebook CR chart).

So the drop down month menu, I'd like that to just be days instead if possible? Which means enabling it to have more than 12. Does that make any sense?

Oooh I see! Yeah that's definitely doable. Let me whip something up for you real quick so you won't have extra unneeded bloat in the scripting :|b

OKAY try this one! Hope it works how you want it!

OH GOSH thank you, it does! I realise there's probably a more elegant way to group it other than LONG LIST OF DAYS but I'm not that organised. I really appreciate the help! Do you have a ko-fi or anything I can donate to?

Yeah that's a tricky one unless you combined the days into sets of like 3 or 4 so you'd have one "page" have 3 or 4 entries... /ponders. But glad it works for you! I do not have a ko-fi, but I will accept DW points to this journal c:

Thank you again! I'm sorry I can't afford more right now but I wanted to thank you for putting in work to personalise it for me. I truly appreciate it!

hello! i'm having a similar problem to the user above – i'd like to use this as an automated tracker for murdergame threads, so my plan was to just switch the 'years' out for 'weeks' and the 'months' out for 'days', but i'm pretty code illiterate and i'm not sure how it would work.

basically i would want the side navi to be like:

Week 1
- Sunday
- Monday
- Tuesday
... etc

Week 2
- Sunday
- Monday
- Tuesday
... etc

Is that doable with the automation sheet?

No problem at all! It's a pretty easy modification so I whipped up a version for you here. Let me know if this is what you were asking for!

oh this is exactly what I was trying to do, thank you!! i rly appreciate it!

No problem, glad to be of service!

I really love this tracker and finally have a reason to use it, but I keep going wrong somewhere. Here it is in my entry (with very little filled in because I've redone it a couple times). For some reason, I can't switch between different month pages. Here's a pastebin of the code. Where have I gone wrong?

Oh this is a very simple fix! The links you have for a name are wrong. Instead of <a name="#aug2021" it should be <a name="aug2021" without the #.

Thank you!! I'm so glad it was an easy fix!

My pleasure! If you have any problems or questions, feel free to ask!

Hi! I love this tracker so much and am using it on both my active characters right now. I was wondering, however - is there any way to please close the gap between tracker entries and have it so that each one falls onto the line below, instead of leaving a space of one line? I understand that this may make it look cramped, but with this month's entries here I already have enough going on that I'm starting to feel like I'm wasting space.

Would it be possible to make this fix? Thanks for your time.

PS: I was in the WK cast in Somarium about a bajillion years ago. No reason for mentioning this but to say thanks for the fun times!

Oh yeah, that's an easy fix! If you feel comfortable doing it yourself, just follow these steps:

Go to Extensions > Apps Script
Click on tracker.html
CTRL+F <br /><br />. There's only one set so easy to find!
Delete one of the <br /> so you only have one of them remaining instead of two
Save (CTRL+S or click on the save icon at the top)

Now it shouldn't have the double spaces!

Aw hiii!! MAN SO LONG AGO

Brilliant, fixed on both journals. Thank you so much for that and for the quick reply - I suspected it was probably something really easy but it's always a worry when I start contemplating hacking bits out of someone else's code with my faulty knowledge of HTML/CSS: switching things up is one thing, but deleting it is quite another!

God, IT REALLY WAS! We were all so young and had so much energy... I still play that character sometimes though, and I'm still using the same journal I had back then. It's still got all the Somarium entries on it. MEMORIES.

Yay, glad it worked! If you ever need anything else or help, feel free to ask /o/

/STARES BACK AT LIFE... And then here I am running basically a sort of sequel to Somarium since it's another dream game LMFAO CAN'T GET OUT OF IT I'm stuck here forever— But yes all the memories... /lies here
