Forum:Icons

Sorry about the obscure title. I'm trying to emulate Wookieepedia's usage of icons  on the DCAU, but I can't figure out how to omit the blue insignia. Their template id is "title-eraicons" but I can't find the description on the CSS. Is that relevant? ―  T hailog  19:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Their method is very complex and specialized for their Wiki. It also uses external images to make them clickable, and with linkable images using ImageMap, we shouldn't need to do that so much anymore. For example, see This template on Wikifur. --Splarka (talk) 02:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Addendum, see the template I just created here, for an example: Template:Homebuttons/smallfloat (stuck it on the top of this forum page here as a test). --Splarka (talk) 02:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Much easier. Thanks a lot, Splarka... again. ; ) ―  T hailog  10:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm. Maybe that was a little too soon. I'm having some problems with it . I want to have two diffrent icons there, but there must be some conflict with the "switch" function. Argh. Help? ―  T hailog  21:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Expand the Member template generaly like this. And add as many icons as you think you'll possibly use. You could also add some css or parserfunctions stuff to clear out any extra spacing made by empty cells. Icon will be used to output a single icon, and member will be used with any number of parameters used to have icons show up:

Ah! Thank you. However, for some reason, the JL icon is not linked... But the GL icon is. What am I doing wrong ... now? ―  T hailog  00:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * fixed. You have to specify the shapes of the clickable areas relative to the original image's dimensions. As the JL_logo.jpg was 319x319, it had to have  to be completely clickable. --Splarka (talk) 01:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I was wondering what those values were for. That would be my next question. Thanks once again, Splarka and Dantman. ―  T hailog  19:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
