NIWA Userbox

[tacopill]

I'm putting together niwa-related wiki userboxes for use on the niwa wikis. From my experiances looking around wikipedia and the niwa wikis, there seems to be 4 different options when it comes to userboxes: html only, wiki-code only (no templates), a template specific to the wiki. Along with each option, i put the related code of the first userbox i put together for this: にわ NIWA  "This user supports the NIWA Manifesto!"

If you wish to see the box on a wiki, wish to export it for use in your wiki, etc. Then please check this link.

If you wish to join me in making userboxes, or wish to take one of mine and improve it, then please make sure to include the 4 header's found bellow.

O, yeah. i put a poll on the top to see which method is the favorite amongst our community. Please vote!

html/css only
to help ease the transitions between wiki's, here is the non-wiki version of the userbox, in the case there are relavent differences on the html/css level.

</td></tr></table></div>


wikicode only (no templates)
Some wiki's do not like to embed templates in other templates, so here is the user box - template free!

I don't make many templates... just wait until Justin/Neo posts here.

I think a NIWA userbox is a wonderful idea, reguardless of how it may of been made.  Good work, Tacopill!

Sounds good.

Thank you very much. Should i add an option to the poll, "All are good"? 


------------------------------------------
Next up it is showing membership on the forums. this asks for one parameter, "uid", which the userbox uses to generate a link to that user's profile. If not give, then defaults to my number in order to make sure it doesn't generate a broken link, to use #{{{uid}}}.

 I don't think you have the forum permissions to edit a poll once it has been made... but I could gladly do it for you.

Edit: Done

[tacopill]

thank you for that.

I would help you with teh MW version, but I am not expereinced with userboxes

I would help you with teh MW version, but I am not expereinced with userboxes

user boxes are pretty simple, if you know the html/wiki code behind them or if your wiki has a template for them. This is basically the set up:

|----------------------------------------------------|

|                ID Cell    |                 Text Cell              |

|----------------------------------------------------|

A Userbox is a table with 2 cells:

• ID - a code representing subject matter of the userbox. For example EN-1: i have a conversational level of the English.
• Text - text on the subject matter of the userbox

Aside form the distinction above, the rest is usual table, row and cell styling information:
* does the box have a border? if so what color, size and style?
* does the id-cell have a background color?   

Each user box can also have individual features, such as:
* does the text in the text-cell have a special color?
* are there any links you wish to include in the text?

For most userboxes, I recommend using a solid-color background for the id-cell, have a same color as the border or the box, and have black text against a white background for the text in a text cell; but you may change this as your needs change, and as the specific box requires.

If you put a specific user-box as a template, you can also use it have parameters (like a userid #) and auto-categorize any user who puts the userbox on their page.

I normally copy the coding and tamper it

Well, i figured since i don't how your other userboxes work on the wiki(s) where you were aiming to use this for (if you were, that is), i went with a general description of how they work, how they are designed, etc.

Bit of a bump for this one...

On this page, I made a "NIWA supporter" userbox, using the WiKirby {{userbox}} template. I tried to replicate the forum's skin as closely as possible for the basic colours. What do you think?

[tacopill]

looks very good.  .

Out of curiosity, does WiKirby make each userbox their own template?

[Moydow]

I think a few users make them as templates, and others post the coding on that page.

If anyone would like to import the box, this is the required coding:

<div style="float:left; border:3px solid red; margin:1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px; background:#EEE;"
| style="width:45px; height:45px; background:red; text-align:center; font-size:14}pt; color:black;" | '''[[File:Niwa.png|75px]]'''
| style="font-size:8pt; padding:4pt; line-height:1.25em; color:black;" | This user proudly supports the '''<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.niwanetwork.org <span style="color:red"><u>Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance</u></span>]</span>'''!
|}</div>

File:Niwa.png will probably need to be edited for each wiki, but otherwise, the code is relatively universal.

I have no idea why people haven't made all of those a userbox. Although I am interested in see where the method leads. I'll be adding that NIWA userbox and putting that Kirby EAT IT vid next time I do userpage work.

Not that i claim any ability when it comes to language.....but i am not sure what that says.....

I usually don't... LOL!
