Preview: Campaign Logger vNext (beta access)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Here's a video I made that shows some of the new stuff coming in vNext.

I also made this video to show beta testers the current state to help you navigate around.

I you choose to particpiate in the beta, the link is below and you can log into the beta using your normal Campaign Logger credentials.

We are looking for feedback. Please post your feedback in the thread below. Thanks!



Here's how to access the beta:
https://preview.campaign-logger.com/

Addendum
Some corrections and additional notes:
  • Install App: Offline work is prepared, but not live at the moment. Currently, you just install it to start it directly from your app menu instead of browsing to the web site.
  • The Refresh button is not updating the app but just reloading data from the server - in case you have old data still in your local cache. This will be removed in the future and be an automated background task associated with the above offline feature.
  • Download/Upload: Campaign Entries are currently not included yet but will be in the future
  • Images: there will be an upload function in the future
  • Character Limits: Log Entry 2,500; Campaign Entry: 250,000
Use the New Generator Service
There's a slick new tool for building your custom generators.

Use it as a standalone tool, or to feed dynamic generators into your Campaign Logger vNext account.

While in a log, clicking on one of the tags in the "Log Entries" drop down menu ("@ Person" for example) renders a white screen. Going to the tag URL directly (or hard refreshing) shows the Campaign Logger UI briefly before it renders the white screen.

Looking at the console, there are errors raised. Doesnt look like much to go on, but heres the log:

[...]

On firefox.

Finally found and fixed it. I will now test the whole app with FF.

Firefox is working fine! It did need the hard refresh.

Ive found another bug: If i delete two campaign log entries in a row, after the second one, a blank campaign log entry shows up. If i try to open it, it thinks its name is `????`. If i try to delete it, it asks if i want to "Delete "<UNTITLED>"?".
If i do nothing, and refresh the page, the delete modal pops up.
It wont go away unless i confirm that i want to delete the phantom log.


Edit 1:

Err, after confirming the delete and hard refreshing, i now see duplicate campaign log entries for the remaining logs.

Clicking the clear cache and reload all button removes *all* of the entries (even the ones i havent deleted yet). Then, when I hard refresh, the duplicates come back (always the same amount: 4 of one entry, 2 of the other entry)

Edit 2:

Rather than delete the campaign entries (which it seems i cant do) I tried to delete the campaign they were tied to. That worked (campaign entries gone), but now i have a phantom log that i cant delete. When i try, i get a 404 from the API.

I tried to bot a resync, and a hard refresh. It only went away after doing a resync, then a hard refresh. I think there may be something up with the resync feature.

The deletion of Campaign Entries is found and fixed

The phantom log issue seems to be more involved. I will continue to investigate.
 
Would it be possible for the tag buttons above the entry field (like the @, &, etc) to insert quotation marks as well?

For example, pressing @ would insert @""with the cursor between the quotation marks.

This will make it much easier to enter multi word tags on mobile.
This will be in the next update
 
If there's a better place for bug reports, please lemme know.

(in Safari), in the log page, if my window is narrow enough that the tag count wraps, the contents of the menu can't be selected (the mouse motion going over the new space between the menu arrow and the menu dismisses the menu. Gif attached.

I had a situation where clicking on a tag didn't do anything. Other log entries, clicking that tag did change the filter, but one refused to do anything. (I caught a screen recording - https://vimeo.com/448320894/9881ee1d8d).

Clicking the orange reload button did fix stuff.

Is there anything I can capture before reloading if this happens in the future to make debugging easier?
 
I didn't realize the "Welcome you@email.com" was the settings link. Maybe have a dedicated settings verb so it's obvious?'

(Safari) I had a hard time editing colors. At first I thought that the color picker wasn't working ("I choose something not-orange, but now I just see orange"). It looks like if any choice is made, the whole card is moved to the end. Trying to dial in a particular color for me frequently takes more than once click, so the card keeps shifting out from underneath me. (I can supply a video if there's platform issues going on). Also, it'd be nice to see the color in context to see if it's less or more readable than it was before.

Thanks!
 
(Safari and Chrome) On the overview page, I can't click "Logs" to go directly to logs. (I have a couple of campaigns, and it'd be nice to go straight to a log rather than having to go through the Campaigns list). The Logs card is visually identical to the Campaigns card. Campaigns is clickable, so I figure Logs should be clickable too.

(Firefox) When using typing the beginning of an existing tag, then selecting it from the autocomplete list, it does not insert a space after the quotes.

Given a tag: @NPCharacter
Type: @NP
Select: @NPCharacter from the list

@"NPCharacter" (no space) is added
@"NPCharacter" (with space) would be better

This will make it consistent with what the production version does.
 
I love how I can send selected entries for players to view in the rss link, but some tags that I would like my players to access are not appearing. Is there any way to manipulate the autogenerated list of tags? Below you can see it has excluded sessions 3 and 4.

Edit: my solution so far has been to create an entry that tags every session. That way they can click on their name, then a log with a session ID, then they can find a list of links:

As I visited the preferences settings, I noticed that I can change the tag categories, but I have to guess which tag symbol matches the icons... I can guess them right, but I would rather see than guess...
This will change with the next update.

I logged a bug for this.

This is a known issue that is hard to reproduce. I logged a new bug for it and linked your video. Very good input, thanks!

I added this, too, as a task so the next update will hopefully include that. I need to fire up Safari first, though.

It will be in the next update. Let's see if it does not confuse people.
