Hello,

Is there a reason why the Navbox code is not working on gaia wiki, yet works perfectly on Vocaloid wiki see w:c:vocaloid:Template:Nav Mainbox. Copy the nav mainbox and test it on the gaia sandbox to see what I mean.

Im not sure but you should ask Uberfuzzy or go to Special:Contact to report this problem. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 17:23, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Special:Contact isn't really meant to be used for this. Anyway, you could try using the same Javascript code as used on the vocaloid wiki. You currently import a script from the dev wiki to do it, but I don't know if it's compatible with that navbox template. - Tjcool007 ^(Talk) 17:59, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try it. I hope it isn't too code heavy, though I've seen this style of Navbox on other wiki and it seems very clean and loads fast. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 19:55, July 24, 2011 (UTC) EDIT Also, is there a Wikia specific alternative I can use? I am planning to link to multipages and want to do line brakes and such. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 20:01, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Ugh, on second thought, I might contact staff to help. I see the code but I am unsure what will happen if I place it on the page. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 21:47, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Update, through a series of odd MediaWiki pasting. I managed to get the Navbox to visually appear, along with a subgroup. Now comes the "show / hide" thing. I removed it because it seemed to be interfering with the new js coding, but now... all the boxes are expanded =_= do I need to add it back and change the names or something?

See here js History with collapse import. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 20:27, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

EDIT update. I seemed to have fixed it. Wooo!

Though I am questioning my methods, I actually created a subpage off the Common.js, linked it back to Common.js by @import then took scriptimport to the Wikia.css... which I believe is wrong, but so far nothing broke. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 20:51, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

I do not think that that last step is necessary. The Wikia skin picks up whatever is in Common.js. So the only thing you need to have in Wikia.js are those scripts that apply only to the Wikia (i.e., Oasis) skin. You do not have to double include in Wikia.js scripts from Common.js; they will get read by the Oasis skin anyway. This is not the case with CSS. The Wikia skin does not pick up the contents of Common.css. Therefore, if there is any CSS in Common.css that applies also to the Oasis skin, then you have to import Common.css into Wikia.css. Be sure not to include in Common.css anything that applies only to the Monobook skin; put that CSS in Monobook.css. — Spike Toronto 06:58, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. When I read that Common.css wouldn't read in Wikia.css I figured the .js was the same way. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 02:13, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
