⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

It is an error in which you are referencing something that doesn't exist.

I recommend re-remixing the page you want to remix. If you click 'edit', the HTML editor on the bottom right doesn't seem to match the HTML of the original generator, which is why it is throwing an error that it cannot find the thing that it is supposed to output, the title.

An error has occurred somewhere in your code (in lists or HTML): The expression '[title]' returned nothing (undefined). You may be trying to reference a list, variable, or function that doesn't exist. Here are some common causes of this error:

You tried to reference a list/variable that you haven't created. For example, if you wrote [animal], but there was no top-level list called "animal", then you would get this error. Note that names are case-sensitive - check your capitalization.
If you misspell a property/function name, then you'll get this error. For example "[noun.pluralFormm]" would produce this error because "pluralForm" has been misspelled.
If you try to access a property of an object that doesn't exist, or that evaluates to something which doesn't exist, then you'll get this error.

These errors can sometimes be hard to debug, so after you've given it your best shot, please post a question over on the perchance community and a friendly community member will help you out :) An error has occurred somewhere in your code (in lists or HTML): The expression '[output]' returned nothing (undefined).

If you click on the red error box, it'll give you some clues.

The expression '[title]' returned nothing (undefined)

So you're trying to show something called "title" but that is undefined. Looking at your list, you have nothing called "title". Only thing within other objects (eg. page, $meta) called title. So maybe use one of those.

To use a property within an object use object.property. So for the page one, that would be [page.title] for the $meta one that would be [$meta.title].
