Custom reporters

Is it a known bug that custom reporter blocks don't work?

Is that why I can't make a list?

They do work! I came here to talk about this because I discovered it by accident. (It is very unintuitive.) You have to put a "<" character on the front but not the end. Example: <<> custom reporter <>::operators We definitely need to add this because it doesn't make any sense.

Hold on, I justfound that ::boolean works too. There are some missing shape options in the list. Does someone have a complete list of available block types?

Syntax

Is it possible to link the syntax page in really big text from the intro? It'd be great if we could make the syntax page easier to find. :-)

UPDATE

I intend to update this page to match the newest version of the Block Plugin (scratchblocks3). It is already in place on the forums and the wiki, so I believe that this page should contain updated information. However, the original page had good content about scratchblocks2. Should we move this page to a different title and make this page the most updated version, or should we make a new page with updated information and add a link on this page to the updated page? Please provide your opinion. TL, DR: The block plugin has been updated (scratchblocks2 → 3) so this page needs to be too. Should we move it and update this page, or should we create a new page with updated info and link to it from here?

(do bumps really apply here? I don't think so.) Some opinions here please?

There is nothing by the name of scratchblocks3, the name was actually changed from scratchblocks2 to simply scratchblocks (I know this change is rather old, but it is still something that should be clarified) (side note: I am currently working on s3Blocks, which is an update of Tjvr's code for scratch 3)

s3Blocks

As some of you may know, I am currently working on a update for the block plugin known as s3Blocks. This page will eventually need to be updated to fit

Keep In Mind: It's user generated contents. You should discuss here or CP.

plugin update on forums

Not to be impatient, but when are the forums going to get the new scratchblocks that the wiki has?

You will need to ask that on the actual forums.

#Advanced Syntax

Some of the code in this section is getting so long, so now the only way to see the actual result is to scroll the page. You can't even tell it's there at all, so most people would never notice. What's the solution?

@han614698 One option is to add style="table-layout: fixed" to the table, which forces all columns to have the same width. Some <pre> elements have style="display: table" - this will need to be removed to make them scrollable.
Maximouse (talk | contribs) 20:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

@Maximouse — I'm okay with that but won't it make them impossible to read on mobile devices (or even on PC)?
han614698 talk • contribs (2,568) • profile 20:31, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

@han614698 The code examples would become scrollable. They would indeed be quite small on mobile devices - perhaps the table could have a min-width. Alternatively, white-space: pre-wrap could be added to each example to enable line wrapping (this doesn't require adding any styles to the table), but I don't like this solution because line breaks in scratchblocks are significant.
Maximouse (talk | contribs) 19:45, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Of course, there's also a simpler "solution": adding a note above the table that tells the user to scroll to see the whole thing.
Maximouse (talk | contribs) 19:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

We should definitely fix this somehow. I didn't even notice you could scroll right to see the Advanced Blocks examples and these are almost hidden from regular users.

Add a list?

Would we benefit from adding a list of blocks that autocolor in the block plugin? For example, . . . does as well as some older 2.0 blocks - not just what's in Scratch, so maybe we should add a table with every block and it's code.

New feature found?

This topic shows that adding a backslash before the word "scratchblocks" will fix formatting. Where would this fit into the wiki?
RobotChickens (talk | contribs) 16:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

It seems like this is a bug with the [scratchblocks] tag, so I think that BBCode#Blocks would be a good place to add it.

Also please add any new topics to the bottom of a discussion page rather than the top.

When was scratchblocks4 implemented on the main Scratch forums, exactly?

Given Paddle2See's comment, it was likely implemented on November 6th, 2024. However, I would like if someone could confirm that it was implemented on that date (e.g: website archival services). I edited the Block Plugin (2.0) page to show November 6th, 2024 as the date of implementation.
