[edit] This Format does not like parameters

Well as you may have noticed that I made edits here to try to make parameters possible on this template. However when I added it to this template it ended up corrupting other userboxes that did not have parameters. so what I had to do is create a new template at Template:Usbkc to address the issue for now. If there anyway to make it possible here without that problem it would help out alot. Sawblade05 08:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


This template was originally created by User:Java7837 he also made a program to make userboxes with pictures see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Java7837/pictureuserboxcreator it is very helpful in producing userboxes which use pictures

[edit] Big error

Big error see

This user is a Chief Engineer in the United States Merchant Marine. C/E


versus


Code Result Users
{{Template:user Chief Engineer}}
This user is a Chief Engineer in the United States Merchant Marine. C/E
Transclusions


This only seems to be effecting pages loading specifically pages listed under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userboxes/Profession#Merchant_marine please fix this as soon as possible

--Java7837 15:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC)



Actually look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userboxes/Profession a good number of userboxes load ' instead of the picture they are supposed to load

--Java7837 15:52, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


Though Wikipedia:Userboxes/Emoticons seems to be fine

--Java7837 16:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


Wikipedia:Userboxes/Zodiac also works fine

--Java7837 16:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. It was because the userbox was being transcluded like {{user Chief Engineer|||||}}. –Pomte 18:08, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Big error

The current version has corrupted userboxes here at Wikipedia:Userboxes/WikiProjects plase fix show they all show.

  • FYI the error also shows on my Test Userbox page at User:Sawblade05/tempoaryWikipedia:Userboxes/WikiProjects You can use that page for testing. Sawblade05 10:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
The bottom userboxes weren't showing because that page has a lot of userboxes. It's not particular useful either, being redundant to Wikipedia:WikiProject and Category:WikiProjects etc. No one should be browsing the list for userboxes because you have to actually look at the WikiProject first before joining and tagging yourself. –Pomte 10:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

[edit] Category:User templates

I don't know who added this page to this category but this category is only for userboxes, I am taking it out. -PatPeter 06:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I figured it out for you PatPeter, it was in the documentation at /doc. 67.175.105.209 20:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
I placed it back in that category with | ]] as categorization so that this template is at least categorized.

[edit] Category Suppresion

{{#ifeq:{{{categories}}}|no||[[Category:Example|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}

We need to get this incorporated into the template. -PatPeter 01:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Can a parser function of this nature: {{#ifeq:{{{categories}}}|no||[[Category:Example|{{PAGENAME}}]]}} be made in this template to allow for the suppression of Wikipedian categories on pages such as Wikipedia:Userboxes/Health, Wikipedia:Userboxes/WikiProjects, and Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/New Userboxes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Java7837 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 9 September 2007

[edit] Categroy Fixes

The way I see it, the category parameter can be simplified to simple {{usbk|template name|Category:your category}}, with the parameter "category" not having anything fancy whatsoever, just {{{category}}}.The UserboxerComplain/ubx

category=name is as easy to type, and it is more intuitive (as in the case of {{tlx}} etc.) to have the second unnamed parameter deal with parameters for the actual userbox. –Pomte 20:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parameters

I think I've solved the parameters issue. If anyone comes across a use of this template that still appears to be broken, let me know. JPG-GR (talk) 02:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it appears it can only handle one parameter (called "param1") properly at this time. JPG-GR (talk) 03:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What I did

Alright so basically I just solved all these problems. Any userbox that has the correct ParserFunctions extension from Category:Category suppression supporting templates will not categorize these pages in user categories, more in reply to #Category Suppresion. Before reverting please post here, I have this page watched. -Babelious 22:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

{{[[{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}]]{{#if:{{{param1|}}}|{{!}}''{{{param1}}}''|}}{{#if:{{{param2|}}}|{{!}}''{{{param2}}}''|}}}}
{{ #if: {{{nt|}}} | | {{!}} }}{{#if:{{{param2|}}}|{{{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|1={{{param1|}}}|2={{{param2}}}}}|{{#if:{{{param1|}}}|{{{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|1={{{param1}}}}}|{{{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}} 
{{ #if: {{{nt|}}} | {{clear}} | {{!}} }}[[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|What links here]]
{{#if: {{{category|}}} | <br />[[:Category:{{{category}}}]] | }}
{{ #if: {{{nt|}}} | | {{!}}- }}

Alright I have no clue as to what all this means, but if some one could tell me which parts of these | are equal to <td> then we might me able to reincorporate some of this code back in. -Babelious 18:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

{{[[{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}]]
{{#if:{{{param1|}}}|{{!}}''{{{param1}}}''|}}
{{#if:{{{param2|}}}|{{!}}''{{{param2}}}''|}}
}}
{{#if: {{{nt|}}} | | {{!}} }}
{{#if:{{{param2|}}}|{{{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|1={{{param1|}}}|2={{{param2}}}}}|
{{#if:{{{param1|}}}|{{{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|1={{{param1}}}}}|{{{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}} 
{{#if: {{{nt|}}} | {{clear}} | {{!}} }}[[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|What links here]]
{{#if: {{{category|}}} | <br />[[:Category:{{{category}}}]] | }}
{{#if: {{{nt|}}} | | {{!}}- }}

Hopefully this makes it easier to read. -Babelious 18:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parameters

Is it possible to make it support up to 10 parameters, just to be on the safer side? ~RayLast «Talk!» 18:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
