Star Army implemented the use of the struct plugin in December 2020. The plugin allows pages to be tagged with elements of structured data that can be used and aggregated by other pages. Struct data is stored as schemas (generally page schemas on Star Army, as in they are attached to pages such as character bios) and schemas have columns.

Full documentation of the struct plugin is found here.

The basics are:

• Struct data can be presented as tables or lists
• You'll need a schema and columns to show, which are detailed below
• Results can be filtered to show the stuff you need, such as showing only characters assigned to your ship

Here's some examples.

This example is a list of characters from one player that is searchable and has multiple pages if there's more than 25 results.

---- struct table ----
schema: characters
cols: character_image, %title%
filter: owner = user:wes
order: %title%
csv: 0
dynfilters: 1
rownumbers: 1
max: 25

Here's a sample crew roster as seen on the page YSS Eucharis Crew & Personnel. It calls from two schemas and uses columns from each one.

---- struct table ----
schema: stararmy_personnel, characters
cols: character_image_chibi, saoy_rank, %title%, saoy_occupation, owner, status
filter: saoy_status = Active Duty
filter: saoy_assignment = stararmy:starships:yss_eucharis
order: %title%
csv: 0

---- struct table ----
schema: characters, ndc_personnel
cols: character_image, ndc_rank, %title%, ndc_jobcode, owner, status
filter: ndc_assignment = plot:nds_ravenacas_watch
order:%title%
csv: 0
