[edit] CAtegory problem

This template, though showing on the template as in this category Category:People infobox templates, does not actuall show up there. I'm guessing it would be the same problem for the other cats. Aboutmovies 01:03, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Presidents/chancellors of multiple institutions

Any comments on the desirability of adding a new parameter to list other institutions besides the current one where the person has held leadership positions? Particularly in the upper echelon institutions, it seems not-uncommon for people to have had significant careers as president/chancellor of more than one university. Is it worth putting in the infobox, or is it just extra clutter that should stay in the body of the article? Sarcasmboy 12:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

  • I have a similar question. I am editing the Presidents of Rice University, including people like Edgar Odell Lovett, and William Vermillion Houston. I have added a successor box for "Academic Office", but have noticed that there is a template for University President, as well. Unfortunately, this template doesn't seem to support successive offices, like the Template_President does. (See President Woodrow Wilson for an example) Can this template be expanded to offer this option? Deatonjr (talk) 18:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Necessary width/height for image

I think the necessary parameters for width and height of images involved in this template are very restrictive. A lot of images of people are simply not 225x250px. Can this parameter be eliminated? Alekjds talk 00:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I have just replaced the old image coding with new ones that will allow you to post pictures that are as large or small as you like. Just remember to restrict your image size at your discretion. BTW, the code came from Infobox University. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 04:10, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
That made the image in, for example, Eric Thomas (academic) disppear completely. I've therefore taken the template back to the August 25 version, but feel free to identify and fix the problem and then take it forward again. Splash - tk 02:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
