Template:LogList

Usage

{{LogList
|date_style=RL/IC
|explain_date=yes/no
|reverse=yes/no
|-------------------
|the_log~Link to page name
|my_title~Title you'd prefer to use, if not the default
|description~Your description of the scene.
}}

This is a helper template to format AdvLog pages and sort them automagically.

Examples

{{LogList
|date_style=RL
|explain_date=yes
|reverse=yes
|-------------------
|the_log~[[Jai - Sugar Lumps]]
|description~When you party with the party prince, you get two complimentary after-dinner mints.
|the_log~[[Jai - Fork In The Road]]
|my_title~This Is The Title I Prefer
|description~In which Petra presents Jai with a '''decent''' proposal, for a change.
}}

The optional elements include 'my_title', which should be inserted only for each log whose title you want to change on your page, and three special options above the line, 'date_style', 'explain_date', and 'reverse'. (For some reason, 'reverse' isn't working on this page. It's working where it matters, though.)

-= Dates are RL =-

10/21/2010	10/21/2010: Sugar Lumps When you party with the party prince, you get two complimentary after-dinner mints.
11/23/2011	11/23/2011: This Is The Title I Prefer In which Petra presents Jai with a decent proposal, for a change.

{{LogList
|the_log~[[Jai - Sugar Lumps]]
|description~When you party with the party prince, you get two complimentary after-dinner mints.
|the_log~[[Jai - Fork In The Road]]
|description~In which Petra presents Jai with a '''decent''' proposal, for a change.
}}

This is the most basic use, giving you:

01/23/2008	01/23/2008: Sugar Lumps When you party with the party prince, you get two complimentary after-dinner mints.
09/12/2009	09/12/2009: Fork In The Road In which Petra presents Jai with a decent proposal, for a change.

More Explanation

This template is slightly trickier to use than most.

• You only need one instance of this template in your AdvLog page.
• Each log in your list takes a "the_log", an optional "my_title", and a "description".
  • They need to be in order (the_log, my_title if used, description) and please note that the repeated parameters are set off by a ~, not a =. If you don't do it this way, it won't work!
  • Using a ~ or an = in any of your log names/titles/description will also not work as expected.
• The optional parameters above the dashed line DO use an equals sign, however.
  • If you leave out these parameters, the default behaviour is to use IC dates, not give the date explanation line, and display your logs from oldest to newest.
  • These parameters are independent of each other; you can freely use IC dates and explain it, use RL and not explain it, reverse the order and explain the date, or whatever combination you like.

If you find yourself confused, check (but don't change) Jai/AdvLog, where you can see this in use.
