Forum:Using Wikipedia Template:Navigation generic

Has anyone sorted out how to transfer Wikipedia,s Template:Navigation generic over to Wikia. I have been trying to use it on the Psychology Wiki but it only produces a mess with a lot of tags see Template:Ion channels. Any help would be appreciated Dr Joe Kiff 17:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Is Help:Dynamic navigation any helpful? Putting all that code in their correct places should make it work.--Richard1990 talkedits 20:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Richard. Does that mean you have to insert the code into my css file? Does it matter where it goes? How do I edit the css file if I need to? Dr Joe Kiff 23:12, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The ugly code is becauase Wikia doesn't have HTMLTidy installed, and Wikimedia does. This prevents us using html tags (including tables) inside parserfunctions. You have to replace the html tables with wikitables in such templates (messy). --Splarka (talk) 08:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sparka. So will we get HTMLTidy installed? If not is there anyway you or others could replace the tables, at least on this template as it is so widely used? I know nothing about html tables and wikitables so its all way beyond me. Does that also mean fiddling with the css code isnt relevent? Dr Joe Kiff 22:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * w:c:psychology:Template:Navbox_generic? That is a horribly esoteric and complex template (click edit to get a taste). Can you tell me your requirements for such a template? It would probably be much easier to start over more simply. --Splarka (talk) 07:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
