Sidebar

Boosted campaigns can customise their sidebars. To do so, go to World and Sidebar setup.

In this interface, you can reorder elements of the sidebar, change their icons, as well as their labels. These change effect all users of the campaign and in all languages. The custom names aren’t reflected in the rest of the application. Meaning renaming characters to heroes will only change the sidebar.

Sidebar setup

When reordering elements of the sidebar, you cannot for example put Quick Links inside another element. You can however make Conversations as the first element of the sidebar, if you so wish.

What fonts are available?

You can use any of FontAwesome’s or RPGAwesome’s fonts.

Using FontAwesome

To use a FontAwesome icon, click on the desired icon and click on the HTML Copy code snippet. This copies the icon to your browser.

Copying a FontAwesome icon

Next, paste the value in the campaign sidebar icon field. The HTML will automatically be transformed to a format supported by Kanka.

Using RPGAwesome

To use an RPGAwesome icon, copy the desired icon’s “name” and past it in the sidebar icon field. You’ll also need to append ** ra ** (with a space in front) to make it work.
