Forum:Featuring type formatting

<<< Back to The Administrator's League • <<< Back to Forum

I know fluffy's put a lot of work into it, but the new feature formatting is giving me a hard time. How are we supposed to change the titles on the feature templ;ates. I've changed the actual text, and taken a look at the feature formatting but I can't seem to rejig the title of the articles that come up above the text. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 18:58, 13 Arche 2008 (UTC)

Being a new system, I guess I owe you all an explanation. Oops. (also, just changed it for you. EDIT: Template:Featured; see you just changed Template:Featuredyesterday). The key is the comments; the three parts are marked by such, in all caps, beginning with * LIKE THIS. So, the title is right to the * TITLE comment, the summary is below the * SUMMARY comment and the recent features list is after the * RECENT comment.

<!-- To move between 1st and 2nd feature, simply copy & paste the whole field
  -->{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|title
|<!-- * TITLE  > -->Freeze frame popcorn
|{{#ifeq:{{{1|summary}}}|summary
|<!-- * SUMMARY: -->
<SNIP!>

|<!-- * RECENT: (only matters for Template:Featured) --> [[Hard disk]] – [[Early Morning Television]] – [[Bob Saget]] – [[Santa]] – [[RAY]] – [[Jesus]] – [[Life Options]] – [[Silent Penguin's Bogus Journey]]

}}<!-- END -->}}<noinclude>[[Category:Main page templates]]</noinclude>

Also, to simply move the (to become a previously current feature to the old (moving it to "Last Quarter's Feature"), simply copy and paste the entire contents of Template:Feature to Template:Featuredyesterday – no changing of any text neccessary. --Fluffalizer 17:10, 14 Arche 2008 (UTC)

Just changed the commenting like this:

<!-- To move between 1st and 2nd feature, simply copy & paste the whole field
  -->{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|title
|<!-- * TITLE:
   --> Freeze frame popcorn
|{{#ifeq:{{{1|summary}}}|summary
|<!-- * SUMMARY:
   --> <SNIP!>

|<!-- * RECENT: (only matters for Template:Featured)
   --> [[Hard disk]] – [[Early Morning Television]] – [[Bob Saget]] – [[Santa]] – [[RAY]] – [[Jesus]] – [[Life Options]] – [[Silent Penguin's Bogus Journey]]

}}<!-- END -->}}<noinclude>[[Category:Main page templates]]</noinclude>

A minor edit, but might make it more readable at a glance. --Fluffalizer 17:26, 14 Arche 2008 (UTC)

And feel free to change it around if you think it could be improved. --Fluffalizer 17:49, 14 Arche 2008 (UTC)

Implemented the hiding feature thing then i see :D --Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 19:27, 14 Arche 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but IE users seem to have problems - plain unsupported by IE6, questionable status in IE7. I disabled it for IE6 (including removing the "(hover to show)" text), but for IE7 it is still enabled. If Forum:Main Page 2.0 works for IE7 users (have no input on that), then the main page should be possible, too, but otherwise I can extend the disabling of it to IE7. (leaving Firefox and others with it on) --Fluffalizer 20:04, 14 Arche 2008 (UTC)

Seems to work fine in IE7 for me. /me goes back to Firefox and washes his mouth out with soap -Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 21:13, 14 Arche 2008 (UTC)
