[edit] Questions

• When using the code:
  {{Tnavbar-header|Heading|Name of Template|fontcolor=#html color code}}
  in order to specify a font colour, it seems that the " v . t . e " text remains black. Is there a way to specify a font colour which applies to both the header text and the " v . t . e " text? --MLD 12:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes I am also frustrated by this. It appears that the "fontcolor" option does not even work. What's more is that it definately doesn't work for links, but it needs to override the link color. Is anyone around to address this? --MattWatt 02:50, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] transclusion in NavigationBox

It seems this latest change breaks transclusion in NavigationBox template.

See: Template:Emir_Kusturica_Films for an example of how I'm using this template. Perhaps I should fork this version to a new template if these changes are required? // Laughing Man 19:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Testing

Could someone show me a broken page using the new version at {{Tnavbar-header2}}? ed g2s • talk 09:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

It seems this one doesn't break NavigationBox template anymore, I can't speak for other templates though of course... User:Laughing_Man/sandbox/Tnavbar-header uses Tnavbar-header2 and it seems fine. // Laughing Man 11:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Tnavbar-header2 seems good. My only concern is that for most browsers there's no line breaks introduced and that the header occupies 100% of the width of a heading cell (which is what <table width="100%"> accomplishes. (→Netscott) 15:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean? The div is also 100% width by default. ed g2s • talk 15:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Height of box

Please reset to the old height. Just about everything on wikipedia has been formatted to fit in with the original height being used. If needed this can be adjusted with additional formatting on the other users template. Niall123 20:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Niall123, we did some testing with User:Ed g2s's CSS changes (moving from <table> to straight <div> code) and there seemed to be no problems. Can you give us a specific example of a template that had been negatively impacted as a result of those changes? Thanks. (→Netscott) 20:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] history?

Do we really need direct link to history?

view / edit / talk seems to be more than enough already in my opinion. // Laughing Man 01:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I tend to agree but not strongly. User:Instantnood added it. Do you think the extra 'h' in v·d·e·h has a negative impact? I'm not so sure... the extra 'h' seems benign to me. (→Netscott) 01:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Not necessarily that much of a negative impact, it just makes it a bit more confusing than it already is, and a little more difficult to click on the exact link. Maybe just v·d is enough -- although if we did go this route we should probably change the d to a t it to avoid any other connotations ;) // Laughing Man 01:47, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Let's just sit tight for a day or two and see if there are any complaints.... I don't think it makes it that confusing... a simple hovering of the mouse cursor above each link explains what it does. (→Netscott) 02:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Please revert and remove history. There is no need for it and its fucking up the hiehgt of certain templates aswell. Niall123 12:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Agree with above. There’s no need that I can see for a direct link to history. I also think it’s looks a bit messy with the extra letter. Kanaye 15:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Agree with most here. No history link thanks. And having only v·t is a proposal I like. – Elisson • T • C • 16:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Text / graphics

Wouldn't it look cool to replace the v e t links with small pictograms? They would be easy to create and and probably they would make those links more intuitive (images are easier to understand than one-character links I think), apart from the box probably looking better. CompuChip 10:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This is technically possible but unfortunately it is not very practical. See Template:Islam where one can click on the image of the Mosque and be taken to the Islam article. The problem lies in the fact that this code is fairly extreme and only the very latest browsers tend to support it correctly. Other than the Template:Islam technique I'm not aware of how one could make images clickable. (→Netscott) 20:01, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't the {{Click}} template do just that? It does seem to have some problems with accessibility though. --CompuChip 10:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need help (Immediate Response Requested)

How can we position the "v-d-e" tool to the far left??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE DEC 26 2006 9:57 PM EST

You can use {{Tnavbar|Name of Template|mini=1}} and position the v•d•e links where you want. (→Netscott) 07:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhapse we could make something like {{Tnavbar-collapsible}} and {{Tnavbar-navframe}}, for navboxes using collapsible and NavFrame repsectively? I know we've relatively recently changed the behavior of collapsible recently; I'm unsure how the change was handle with navigation boxes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dispenser (talk • contribs) 20:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] fontcolor necessary?

As far as I can't tell {{tnavbar-header|1=<span style="color:#007">Title</span>|2=TemplateName}} will do the same thing as the fontcolor parameter. Should we deprecate this parameter? --Dispenser 02:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't. However, it appears to me that the "fontcolor" option does not work for me. Moreso, I would prefer that the "fontcolor" option override the default browser link colors. This does seem to work for the normal {{tnavbar}}. --MattWatt 02:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the source I think I can see where the mistake lies... Does anyone still have permissions to edit this? --MattWatt 03:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] no mini?

Just wondering why there isn't a version of this template without the Mini style. Personally I prefer the look of |plain=1|mini=0|. Is there any way we can make this an option? --MattWatt 02:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
