Forum:Need Navbox Help

Hey, could someone lend me some help on this Navbox Template? It won't collapse.


 * If you're using the devwiki collapsible script import, then you have to stick to the syntax provided. Your Navbox template uses a lot of classes that are not supported by your wiki's JS/CSS pages thus making the template dysfunctional. Judging by the overcomplicated code, I assume the template is copied from somewhere else. If I were you, I would just rewrite the template from scratch, using proper syntax and simplifying the whole thing. — Sovq 06:28, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

Would you happen to know of any Navbox template that utilize the dev wikis syntax? I know enough about code to alter, create, and fix some basic things, but once you get into anything complex or anything even remotely complex you've lost me.


 * Sorry, can't say I do. But if you're not planning to create too many 'child' templates, like w:c:fairytail:Template:Fairy Tail Members, then perhaps you don't need a 'parent' template and can create these templates independently? The Navbox on Wikipedia, and it's complexity, only makes sense because there's hundreds of 'child' templates using it. I could try to create a copy of w:c:fairytail:Template:Fairy Tail Members, that wouldn't use Navbox template, if you're interested. — Sovq 06:46, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Please do, I would greatly appreciate it.


 * There you go, I think the structure is simple and comprehensible enough to duplicate to create another sibling template, if needed, without having to use a 'parent' template.


 * I didn't add any styling to it, because I believe that it would be better if you styled it via Wikia.css in case you wanted to create more navboxes sharing the same color theme. There are only a couple of CSS classes used, so you should have no problem modifying it. — Sovq 18:47, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!
