Fictioneer 5.9.0 Stable
released this
2024-01-21 04:50:24 +08:00 | 2540 commits to main since this release!!ATTENTION!! Please make sure to purge your theme caches under Fictioneer > Tools!
Nothing is ever perfect, at some point you are just done. This update went through ups and downs, but I believe it is as ready as it can be without a larger test base. I hope you updated your browser since February 2023, otherwise you will have to live with some design regressions.
Please consider supporting my blatant insanity on Ko-fi if you like the theme.
Highlight: Responsive Cards
Well, more responsive in any case. Cards are now built with container queries, meaning they scale relativ to their inline size instead of the viewport -- although there is a fallback for older browser that you absolutely should no longer use. But someone apparently visited the demo site with Chrome 93 (from August 2021 ffs), so here we are. And I thought I was lazy with updating.
Anyway, as cards can now scale, you can now have larger cards! That goes hand in hand with the new option to increase the base card width under Appearance > Customize > Layout. I also added new CSS snippets for cards and grids, in case you want to customize them more. Never forget, a completely broken site is only a few wrong CSS declarations away!
Highlight: Age Confirmation Modal
For everyone hosting more... risqué content. You can enable the option to show a site-wide age confirmation modal or only for adult-rated stories and chapters. The response is stored in the browser, so you won't be annoyed on every page load. But on each device and browser at least once. The text can be changed under Fictioneer > Phrases, the redirect link with a constant.

* I doubt anyone tinkered with that at this point, but I believe this step was necessary. The partial was once supposed to make it easier for the layman to customize story pages, but it has grown far beyond reason. And if you are unlucky and this change just shattered your work... always remember that the human anus can stretch up to ~18 cm before taking damage. A raccoon can squeeze into holes as tights as ~10 cm. Meaning you can take almost two full raccoons up your behind and nobody can ever take that from you!
