NFT
An NFT is used to represent the index of a story associated with an NFT.
The TaleBlox actor class is the core component of the canister, responsible for managing stories and NFTs. It contains functions for creating stories, contributing to stories, and minting NFTs.
-
createStory(id, title, prompt, content, imageUrl, metadataUrl) This function allows users to create a new story with the specified parameters. It mints an NFT for the associated image and initializes the story.
-
contributeToStory(storyId, prompt, content, imageUrl, metadataUrl) Users can contribute to existing stories using this function. It also mints NFTs for associated images and adds a new page to the story.
-
getAllStories() This query function returns a list of all existing stories.
Minting NFTs is done internally within the canister. The mintImageAsNFT private function is responsible for this process. It should take a metadata URL as input and return true if successful or false if there's an error.
The canister supports a single query function, getAllStories, which allows users to retrieve a list of all available stories.
- Check Internet Connection
Before attempting any troubleshooting steps, ensure that you have a stable and active internet connection. Internet Identity relies on a connection to the Internet to function correctly.

Internet Identity is designed to work with modern web browsers. Make sure you are using a supported browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. Ensure your browser is up-to-date.
- Clear Browser Cache
Cached data in your browser can sometimes cause issues. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Instructions for doing this vary depending on your browser, so consult your browser's documentation.
- Identity Provider Issues
Internet Identity relies on identity providers like DFINITY Foundation's Identity Provider (IDP). If the IDP experiences downtime or issues, it can affect your ability to log in. Check the status of the identity provider, if possible.
