Hi shvelven, have you tried URL encoding the # in the Jisho link?
http://jisho.org/search/{{Kanji}}%20%23kanji
I will definitely be using this. Thank you!
jamesbassett said... Hi shvelven, have you tried URL encoding the # in the Jisho link?Yup. That was my first thought, but it simply will not work from within Anki. It's an extremely stupid bug. Let's look at what happens:
http://jisho.org/search/{{Kanji}}%20%23kanji
The card html is '
<a href="http://jisho.org/search/{{Kanji}}%20%23kanji">'. The URL that Anki passes to the browser is "http://jisho.org/search/%E4%B8%80%20#kanji". The"%E4%B8%80" part is, I assume, the Unicode address of the kanji. Then we have the "%20", which is the URL encoded space character. But for some beautifully stupid reason Anki decodes the "%23" into a literal "#" before passing it to the browser, where I assume it gets treated as an anchor reference. ... Incidentally, I just figured out how to fix the Jisho link. There's an alternate URL: "http://jisho.org/kanji/details/{{Kanji}}". Thanks, buddy—I probably wouldn't have looked back into it if it weren't for your post :D

Haha glad you found a solution! Thanks so much for creating this. I can’t believe how hopeless I am at recalling kanji 
Version 1.04 is available!
Another bugfix release.
1.04 Changelog:
- [Bugfix] Jisho.org links now work, thanks to jamesbassett’s observation a few posts ago
I love it! This hopefully will become part of my studying routine from now on.
It’s also easily customizeable - I had to remove the resources bar (because of scrolling effects on my phone) and switched to default answer side to handwritten stroke order (made more sense to me, but might change it back if it turns out to be impractical)
Thank you very much
I don’t know if it’s just me but when I click on the kanji after answer I get normal font instead of the one with stroke orders. Version 1.04. Anki on Windows.

EDIT: Just for you, I've added a config section at the top of the front card. You can now hide any section without having to delete it from the card!
embe said... I don't know if it's just me but when I click on the kanji after answer I get normal font instead of the one with stroke orders. Version 1.04. Anki on Windows.That's really weird, since there are two ways that font is accessed for redundancy. Do me a favor: go to "My Documents\Anki\YOUR_USER_NAME\collection.media". There should be a file in there somewhere called "_KanjiStrokeOrders.ttf" (heads up: there might be thousands of files in this folder depending on how many decks you have in Anki). Let me know if the font file is present.
Version 1.05 is available!
1.05 Changelog:
- [Feature] Introduced customization variables at the top of the front card. You can now choose to hide the Meaning, Readings, and/or Resources section
- [Feature] Higher-resolution icon for chineseetymology.org
- [Change] Made the reading and button text slightly bigger
- [Change] Slight cleanup / streamlining of the code

The font is there. I have updated to the 1.05 and it’s working.
I’ve only started this recently and I’ve noticed that some of the kanji aren’t exactly the same as on Wanikani. For example 船 has the table radical instead of fins. What is going on? Is this just a font thing?
I haven’t used Anki before so I’m wondering, how can I update to the newer version of the deck without losing my progress…?
I can’t seem to get the cards to display in order of wanikani level. When I set to display new cards in order they were created, I get random cards from much later levels.
Nevermind, downloaded the latest version from Google drive. The previous was from ankiweb
Sorry for the multitude of replies. (If i could figure out how to delete those, I would.)
It seems that I also can’t get the kanji stroke orders to appear. I have version 1.05. I’ve tried on 3 different platforms. My phone (android), tablet (android), and PC (win10). All have the font in the specified folder but no luck.
Hey guys,
so i just started using this but somehow can’t manage to enable the stroke orders on my mac. I tried everything i could, installed the front as a SYSTEM front ( pain in the ass on a mac), but nothing happens. what am i missing, any ideas?
Thanks!

Is this just a font thing?Yup. Most printed fonts are different than handwriting and many use variations just like in English:
When in doubt, switch to the stroke order diagram which shows a handwriting font.
meroron said…Just import the new decks. Anki won’t overwrite an existing note, just the card styles and media files. If you’re paranoid, you could always export your deck (remember to tick the “include scheduling data” box) first just in case something were to go wrong.

Drekonah said... Sorry for the multitude of replies. (If i could figure out how to delete those, I would.)Did you ever get it to work? I have it running on two android devices with no problems, and also on my linux PC. I'd be curious to know what was going wrong. On your PC, you could try going to the KanjiStrokeOrders font, double-clicking it, and installing it. If there's an installed font called "KanjiStrokeOrders", the deck will use it. If it works after installing the font, that indicates that the font was named incorrectly or wasn't in the right place for some reason.

EriolAB said... Hey guys,Unfortunately I can't help you with this as I don't have a mac. Sorry! Your best bet would probably be asking on the Anki forums.

Hey, this is maybe more of a general anki question rather than one specifically about this deck, but hopefully someone here can help me out.
Somehow the order of the cards has gotten completely messed up. Instead of new cards being presented to me in level order, they are completely random. For example, my next 5 new cards look like they will be from levels 43, 48, 12, 39, and 51. Does anyone know how to get this back in order?
Edit: Think I figured it out using anki’s reschedule function. Crisis averted.
