Forum:Color & Regular Templates Help

Ok two issues. First i've been here before and asked about color templates and I got an answer but it didn't seem to work so hopefully I can get something this time around that will really work. This is the type of Character Template that we use.


 * }


 * Template Usage

So exactly how do I add color into this type of template. Im doing two types of colors something for the background and the border. Each characters individual template will need their own specific colors. Any help would do worlds for this long standing problem.

Also Having a problem with Show/Hide button on the hide template. The hide template works fine but the button doesn't work or appear anymore. Thus any information cant be accessed on the page anymore unless we take the code off for the hidden template. Now i cant figure out the code error here but i do know that it doesn't link to this central wiki so if i can get some assistance with it as it is affecting all are collapsable boxes on the site.-- 23:08, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I put your template wikicode and usage into collapsed tables. I hope you don't mind. I will look at your problem, but I did that for compactness for now. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 1:37 PM PST 19 Jun 2010


 * It would also help tremendously, if you could just link to your template directly (i.e. &#91;&#91;w:c:wikia_name:Template:template_name&#93;&#93;). Thanks. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 1:39 PM PST 19 Jun 2010

 * I think the first thing you should do is move w:c:bleach:Bleach_Wiki:Character_Template to w:c:bleach:Template:Infobox character or something like that. It isn't really in the right place to be used as a template under its current name.
 * When looking at w:c:bleach:Shrieker, I noticed that article is using the following templates:
 * w:c:bleach:Template:Infobox/Character/Start
 * w:c:bleach:Template:Infobox/Character/Appears
 * w:c:bleach:Template:Infobox/Character/Personal
 * w:c:bleach:Template:Infobox/Character/Voice
 * w:c:bleach:Template:Infobox/Character/End
 * I'm assuming that setup is too complex and you want to try to move to a single template? -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 1:10 PM PST 20 Jun 2010

Well some of the old generic templates from when the site first started exist but we are weeding them out. The majority of the major characters have already been done. Beyond that We just need colors to work through the entire template of the infobox. The other old ones are largely unimportant. 01:02, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * Adding colors is very simple. You could either add it to the entire infobox table:
 * ...add it to rows:
 * ...or add it to individual cells:
 * You could also add color by updating your,  , or   CSS classes, but doing it directly to the template would be easier and less likely to have unintended effects. --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:53 AM PST 30 Jun 2010

Ok I get what your saying but im a bit confused. How would I do it for each individual characters template instead of to the overall template. 11:13, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, what templates you're using is kind of confusing as well. Which templates specifically do you need to change? Some are old, some are new, but I have no idea which ones you plan to use. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:45 AM PST 2 Jul 2010

Well the older templates are going to be in disuse soon. The new ones are like the ones i have placed up top and thats what needs to used. pay no attention to the old ones as some minor characters still have them but thats because they haven't been changed over yet. 17:29, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * You still haven't given any clue how to tell which ones to look at. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 3:35 PM PST 2 Jul 2010

Well thought it was obvious i mean to change the newer ones each character will have a particular set of colors. Nevermind maybe you cant help. 03:09, July 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * How is it obvious? How are we supposed to know which ones are the newer ones? You make it hard to help. I'm not psychic. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 4:44 PM PST 3 Jul 2010
