Forum:Desparate navbox help

Hi there, I'm having problems. I moved a navbox template from J&D wiki (original: w:c:jakanddaxter:Template:Navbox) to SporeWiki, which now exists as w:c:spore:Template:Navbox/alt. In SporeWiki's w:c:spore:MediaWiki:Wikia.css, however, I'm having trouble recolouring it to be the same colour as w:c:spore:Template:Navbox. Navbox/alt has fine colours in the MediaWiki:Common.css but I've failed doing so in the Wikia.css. Can anyone please provide any help? And yes I've tried with ctrl+f to search on the page, but haven't succeeded. Or is there an easier way?--Technobliterator 22:54, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

 * The template you copied looks broken. For one, the documentation part includes the siderail - which most likely means and unclosed div/table tag. There are also template redlinks in the documentation which makes it not functional. The template has also a lot of complicated-looking code (Wikipedia copypaste?), which only makes it harder to make sense of it and find bugs.


 * As for the problem in question. The only thing that I see colored is the collapsible header - . Any other elements could be styled if the template was functional. I don't quite understand what you mean with "Navbox/alt has fine colours in the MediaWiki:Common.css but I've failed doing so in the Wikia.css" - Common.css styles will work in the Wikia/Oasis skin as well, as far as I know. — Sovq 11:32, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah the template was broken, I fixed it now. As for documentation stuff, I can sort that out later.
 * What I mean is that, in Common.css colouring, the colouring suits the monobook skin, but for the Wikia skin's colours that isn't the case. If I make a functioning navbox with this code, will it be easier for you to identify the problems?--Technobliterator 11:44, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. You can find the colours used in the template here, in the "navboxes" section. You can just copy that to your Wikia.css and style accordingly, just for the Wikia/Oasis skin. I guess with a functioning navbox it would be easier to identify which blocks use which sets of colours, so if you can get it to work, you could use Firebug/Inspect Element, or ask here, to find out which class does what. — Sovq 11:56, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
