ESO Fashion – Furnishing Pages
There has been some confusion about where to find furnishing by style, so I re-did the pages to (hopefully) make more sense. You can find all of these pages under Housing, Furnishings, By Type on the main menu. I deleted the Furnishings (By Type) page that was confusing people, so the url will no longer work.
Table of Contents
Category
This page shows the main categories found in the game’s Housing Editor.
Furnishing Behavior
This page shows the Furnishing Behaviors shown on the furnishing’s tooltip.
Set
These are categories that I made up to help break up the furnishings into sets. This is where the By Style and By Location categories used to show, but I have moved them to their own page.
Size
These are the sizes found on most (but not all) furnishing tooltips. This is a work in progress.
Style
This shows furnishings by Style, ie. High Elf, Argonian and Location, ie. Alinor, Murkmire.
Sub Category
This shows the game’s Housing Editor sub categories as well as tertiary categories I have made up to further separate items.
Table
I am trying something new with this page. It’s such a pain to maintain a separate Excel spreadsheet of all furnishings to update this page. I’m not sure how much use it’s getting. I’ve deleted the searchable table and added one that shows a small thumbnail and categories. Let me know if this just doesn’t work for you.
I really miss the old format. I used it usually several times a week and I recommended the site to all my friends that are serious about housing in ESO. The issue is that the old categories were easier to find and the pictures were much more useful as they had a character next to the piece as well as just the picture of the piece. It was much easier to determine if a piece would be of the appropriate size. It did take a little getting used to when I first started using the site but now with the new style, it feels very generic and lacking in comparison to before. You have obviously put your heart into this site and it shows. I think your work was better before you listened to individuals who were wanting something so easy it was generic. I appreciate all your hard work. Thank you for your time helping the ESO housing community.
Nothing has really changed on the site. All I did was rename the Furnishings (By Type) page to Furnishings (By Sub Category), break out the Furnishings (By Style) and (By Location) from the Furnishings (By Set) page and add some extra pages: Furnishings (By Category), Furnishings (By Furnishing Behavior) and Furnishings (By Size). You can still click on a category on any of these pages and get all the thumbnail pics. When you click on one of those, you can see the two images including one with a really short character to estimate size. The rest of the Furnishing pages are still there. I didn’t make any changes to those at all.
The big change is deleting the old text only searchable table and replacing it with small thumbnail images. It’s just a pain to try to keep both the website and an Excel file the same since the table is too large to manipulate directly from the site.
I think the old style you are referring to is when I could directly put all of the thumbnails on a page and you didn’t have one extra page with a list of categories to click first. Complaints weren’t why I had to make the change. The extremely old plugin I was using to show them that way finally stopped working with WordPress. The developer had given up on it years ago and I was was pressing my luck by using it as long as I did since someone could have hacked the site through it.
Technically, I could still show everything the same way, but the new plugin will not allow me to combine two categories and show only the items that are marked with those two categories. For instance, with the old plugin if I wanted to show all the Nord furnishings, I would put the category ID for both “Furnishings” and “Nord” and it would only show Nord furnishings. With the new plugin, if I put those two categories, it shows all of the furnishings and all Nord items, including armor and weapons. The only way to narrow everything is to to subtract every single category that is used in conjunction with furnishings, ie. High Elf, Redguard, Solitude, etc. Since I am constantly adding new categories as new stuff is added to the game, I would have to go into every page and add those categories to the plugin so they wouldn’t show.
It’s a pain for you to have that one extra page to work through, but it saves me hundreds of hours of time and ultimately, I think it’s worth it.
