New page

Userboxes are a series of boxes on a user's page that describe that user. Userboxes are made beforehand as templates, which can then be used in any user's list of userboxes.

==Showing Userboxes==
{{userboxtop|Sample Userboxes}}
{{userbox:GTA}}
{{userbox:GTAVC}}
{{userboxbottom}}
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.

<nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki> starts off the table, and you can change the title by adding a vertical line, eg <nowiki>{{userboxtop|My Games}}</nowiki>. This could be a link, such as <nowiki>{{userboxtop|My [[Grand Theft Wiki:userboxes|Userboxes]]}}</nowiki>

For the actual userboxes, simply include the template link to them, eg <nowiki>{{userbox:GTA}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{Userbox:GTAVC}}</nowiki>. Remember that Capital letters matter (except at the very beginning).

To end the table, simply add <nowiki>{{userboxbottom}}</nowiki> on a new line.

The userboxes on the right are as follows:

<pre>{{userboxtop|Sample Userboxes}}
{{userbox:GTA}}
{{userbox:GTAVC}}
{{userboxbottom}}</pre>

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.

===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.
{| class="wikitable"
!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:
<pre>{{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}}</pre>
Produces:
{{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}}
 

===Manual Userboxes===
<pre><div style="float: left; border:solid pink 1px; margin: 1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: #FFF;"
| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: #FF7799; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|13}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|white}}};" | '''VC'''
| style="font-size: 8pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: #E57;" | This user thinks [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|Vice City]] is the best GTA game
