Userboxes are a series of small information boxes on a user's page that describe that user in a few words. Userboxes are made beforehand as templates, which can then be used in any user's list of userboxes.
Showing Userboxes
Sample Userboxes
|
To show a list of userboxes on your own page, you need three elements - the top of the table, the userboxes themselves and the bottom of the table. These elements MUST be on separate lines.
{{userboxtop}} starts off the table, and you can change the title by adding a vertical line, eg {{userboxtop|My Games}}. This could be a link, such as {{userboxtop|My [[Grand Theft Wiki:userboxes|Userboxes]]}}
For the actual userboxes, simply include the template link to them, eg {{userbox:GTA}} or {{Userbox:GTAVC}}. Remember that Capital letters matter (except at the very beginning).
To end the table, simply add {{userboxbottom}} on a new line.
The userboxes on the right are as follows:
{{userboxtop|Sample Userboxes}} {{userbox:GTA}} {{userbox:GTAIV}} {{userbox:GTASA}} {{userbox:GTAVC}} {{userbox:GTAVCS}} {{userbox:UK}} {{userbox:USA}} {{userbox:AUS}} {{userbox:Japan}} {{userbox:Italy}} {{userboxbottom}}
- See Category:Userboxes for a full list of available userboxes.
Creating Userboxes
There are two methods to creating userboxes. You can either make a box yourself using a DIV and a TABLE, or you can use the pre-made userbox syntax. You should create your userbox at Template:Userbox:Name - this means your box can be included by a user simply using {{userbox:Name}}.
For both methods, do not forget to put your userbox in Category:Userboxes. Use the following code:
<noinclude>[[Category:Userboxes]]</noinclude>
Userbox Syntax
For ease of use, userboxes are made using maker-templates that have a number of parameters. Once the maker-template is saved, it is automatically transformed to HTML.
Template Parameters | Meaning | Value type |
---|---|---|
border-c | The border colour of the userbox. | CSS colour value (#hex or colour name) |
border-s | The border size of the userbox. | Width in pixels |
id-c | The background colour of the id box. | CSS colour value |
id-s | The font size of the id box. | Size in PostScript points |
id-fc | The font colour of the id box text. | CSS colour value |
id-p | The distance between border and content of id box. | CSS padding width value. px, pt |
id-lh | The distance between text lines of id box. | CSS relative line height/length value. em |
info-c | The background colour of info box. | CSS colour value |
info-s | The font size of info box. | Size in PostScript points |
info-fc | The font colour of info box. | CSS colour value |
info-p | The distance between border and content of info box. | CSS padding width value. px, pt |
info-lh | The distance between text lines of info box. | CSS relative line height/length value. em |
id | This is the content of the id box. | Text |
info | This is the content of info box. | Text |
For example:
{{Userbox |border-c=#000 |border-s=1 |id-c=#fff |id-s=12 |id-fc=#000 |info-c=#039 |info-s=8 |info-fc=#fff |id=ID |info=Content}}
Produces:
