The new builder is up! This adds a number of new features that I will summarize here.

First of all are the chapters. Previously you just had one description box and the organization of the guide was entirely up to you. Now you can split your guide into chapters, and then move them around easily. The blue four-arrow image can be used to drag and drop chapters, and the green up/down arrows can be used to move them up or down one spot. The chapter system is optional - if you prefer the old behavior of just having one big description that you control the layout for, then just don't add any extra chapters and put all your writing into one chapter :)

Additionally you will see a tool box to the right of your chapters. This has shortcuts to quickly add suggested chapters to your guide. Try clicking them and you will see!

This tool box scrolls along with the page and contains the buttons for saving your guide. You will now always have three buttons, and their functionality has changed. This is what the buttons do:

  • Save: This button will save a DRAFT of your changes. Even if your guide has already been published, you can still make draft changes. This is a new feature, that allows you to improve your guide without publishing the changes until you are finished.
  • Preview: This button will first save a draft of your changes, and then it will open a new window showing a preview of your draft. You can then switch back and forth from this preview while editing to see what your changes will look like.
  • Publish: This button will put your current changes live, for all to see. Use this when you are done all your updates and want to make them public!

So this has two major perks. The first is, you can save your work without reloading the page. This means no more lost work! If you lose internet, get logged out, site goes down, etc... Instead of losing your work you will simply get a warning asking you to log back in or try again later. The second is, you can now make changes to your published guide without them instantly showing up publicly.

You will also notice that the filters on the browse page are modified. We had complaints that it was too hard to find the champion you wanted just based on the icon alone, so we changed it into a drop down to make it easier to find the champion you want.

And finally, the new champion and three new items have been added to the database! We will update them shortly with the missing data, but they are ready to be used in your guides!

Hope you enjoy these new features!

There is a problem with the preview button not working in Chrome. It thinks we're spamming you with a popup and ignores it so you don't get your preview. We're working on it.

Matt, you don't know how badly I want to touch you in inappropriate ways right now.

Lol.......... *makes "call me" gesture*

The problem was due to Chrome's security "features". To get around the issue we have had to modify the preview button - it will not be visible until after you have saved your guide at least once, and then you can use the preview button freely. Not a big deal and I think this also prevents FF from giving a popup warning.

Woaah, I has no idea how to handle the "chapters" idea. Been so used to formatting the guide description myself.

Well it's optional, so if you prefer your own format you can stick with that :)
