[edit] One more thing for Navbox...

Hi Tigey,

I just need one more thing to try to figure out your navbox problem. What I want you to do is to go to Special:ExpandTemplates on your wiki (hopefully it exists), and paste in this:

{{Navbox
|name = Test
|title = Title
|above = Above
|group1 = Group1
|list1 = List1
|group2 = Group2
|list2 = List2
|below = Below
}}
{{Navbox
|name = Test
|title = Title
|image = Image
|above = Above
|group1 = Group1
|list1 = List1
|group2 = Group2
|list2 = List2
|below = Below
}}

Then you can paste the results from the Special:ExpandTemplates form back onto my talk page (inside some <pre>...</pre> tags) so I can see what's going on. If Special:ExpandTemplates doesn't exist on your wiki, then you can save the code I listed above to a sandbox page on your wiki and send me the HTML source code of the page (Ctrl+U on Firefox). --CapitalR (talk) 20:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More Navbox stuff....

Ok, so something is definitely weird with the way your wiki is executing the Navbox code, and I still can't figure out exactly what the problem is. It seems to be either related to #switch statements not being executed properly, or the MediaWiki engine on your wiki automatically closing tables to prevent nested tables. There's a few more options could could try:

First, try out this code and see if it works. By setting navbar=plain, the dependency on {{tnavbar}} is removed. That will at least tell us if that's the problem:

{{Navbox
|name = Test
|navbar = plain
|title = Title
|above = Above
|group1 = Group1
|list1 = List1
|group2 = Group2
|list2 = List2
|below = Below
}}
{{Navbox
|name = Test
|navbar = plain
|title = Title
|image = Image
|above = Above
|group1 = Group1
|list1 = List1
|group2 = Group2
|list2 = List2
|below = Below
}}

Next, copy the code from my sandbox: User:CapitalR/Navbox into your wiki's Navbox code and try that. It seems that some other problems are arising in the #switch statements (which could be due to it not having the most recent updates for the ParserFunctions extension). My sandbox version removes the switch statements so we can see if that's the problem.

If that doesn't work, then I'm going to have to conclude that it's due to your wiki not having the most recent MediaWiki engine updates, or having some other settings the prevent nested tables, in which case you'd have to talk to someone there about upgrading it in order to fix the Navbox problem.

Let's hope one of the two solutions above works for you! Let me know what happens; I'll keep looking around to see if I can find any other solution. --CapitalR (talk) 21:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
