[edit] pin coords
It looks to me as if the pin coords (used for Galway and Lisburn above) produce different results with different skins.--Henrygb 10:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for bring it up, i was not aware of the problem, but i have an idea of what the cause and soultion is,. The problem is less with the pinn cord coding, at least that i can see, and more with CSS as it seems that the different skins render the width of the box differently, which has a major effect on where the pin cord is displayed. I'll put in a fix and try to see what happens. Also the ones on this page at the moment do not display correclty in default skin, due to the fact that i changed the width of the box over the weekend, and havnt changed the display on here. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- The problem with the skins should now be fixed, tested and works on all versions under the preferences. I am guessing it was a css issue, apparently the various skins interpret the "em" measurement differently though for "px" the result was the same. Their is though 2 issues that are still current, both have to do with rendering in a mozilla typer browser vs IE. Their is a "thicker" border on mozilla then their is on IE, this is a css/IE issue that is out of my control. The other problem is that the locater dot will on some, though currently for this template is used for this would only effect Northern Ireland Maps, maps will be located about 2px below what it would be on mozilla, apparently this is not an isolated issue, as i have seen the same effect happen on other templates using a similar system. If i can fix the problem i will implement a fix. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 08:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm working on cleaning up the code behind this template to fix this problem and make it easier to read and modify. ~MDD4696 02:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Fixed the marker location bug, tested in FF 1.5.0.1, IE6 SP2, and OP 7.11. IE is so ridiculous sometimes. Apparently there is a bug in IE where it uses the font-size property to set the height of very small DIVs [1]. The reason that the marker was off was because it was forcing the marker's containing DIV to be 20px or so, and then vertically centering the marker in that. The marker is still 1px furthur to the right in IE and OP than it is in FF, but it's hardly noticeable. I'm not sure quite why that is; it might be due to misinterpretation of the box model. ~MDD4696 23:41, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] County Colours
Any plans to add a section for county colours like the Asturian wikipedia? theKeith 
20:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah i notcied that, some one else uses it as well. My issues with it is how offical are those flags, and the colours. I have allways had the imoression that they are more tradational then anything. I'll do some research and put out some feelers and see what i can coume up with. Even if a flag were to be added i would not be thrilled about using the one on their article. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- The following is interesting Ireland: county colours, it basically says they are unofficial and often not supported outside the nationalist community - so would this be an issue? See also Flags of Ireland - counties.
- Note: both websites include material by Vincent Morley - the latter is wholly his own. Djegan 12:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Intresting, i allwas out the colours as having more towrds the county teams, i.e.GAA, then offical ststus in the county then. As for it being an issue, i could see it as such espically withthe counties in the north, considering that the colours would have no official status withthe exception of the county GAA bords. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding infobox to town articles - Can you help with town crests or mottos?
I'm seeing many town articles don't have an infobox even in the top 100, so I am going through them to update to the new infobox or adding one as appropriate and am up to #30.
However, I notice that few towns have either crests or mottos. Does anyone know where to find them and would like to help? I have enough to do with finding the longitude and latitude and grid references as well as elevations but seem to be able to confirm those except it requires time to get them right. I presume there is no easy way to make these additions except manually. ww2censor 20:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah i was planning on filling in the gaps but i put it on hiatus due t o an issue of pouplation information in these artciles and how it would be diplayed in the infobox. As for crest and mottos i would say the best place to statrt is on on the town website, if they have one, or somethimes you might find it on the county site, but i would not expect to come across them frequenly, As for the longitude and latitude, i would use http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/ , so far i have had a good experince with the website over things like multimap, which has a tendency of not getting the cords right, i dont know what to tell you about elevations, for grid refrences i use the UK OSI site, but the irish grid refrenc is supposed to change eventually (key word eventually). Umm yeah so far it's all manually, if you could automate it it would be grand but becides figuring out all of the infoi that you need to get for each article you also need to decide on pin pos as it differs for each article. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 23:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

- I am always leary about the heardilic sites though, tha accuracy of the inamges is always in question, though the second site looks like a good call. I have come across several seals that are on the town sites, mostily in Kildare, that have not ben uploaded, but i did not upload then do to eh fact of the size of the image would not mak it worthwhile to have displayed on the page. Anyway i dont think we should hold back about adding the boxes if their is no seal, just having the map on the page via the infobox adds to the article. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northern Ireland
A template has been developed that covers England, Scotland and Wales. It could be extended to cover Northern Ireland if there is a desire to do so. Please comment here if you have an opinion on this: Template_talk:Infobox_UK_place#Northern_Ireland Thanks. MRSC • Talk 17:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- The new maps are greatly inferior, in my view. Compare existing (left) and proposed (right) below:

Is there any way the old maps can be incorporated into the proposed template? -- Picapica 09:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
