Talk: Global Lua Modules/Navbox

Parameters provided in parser functions

Wanted to make a comprehensive navbox template that would have several main sections collapsed by default (via defaultstate = collapsed), but depending on navbox template value ({{{1|}}}) a certain section would be expanded.

First I tried #switch parser function, I've inserted it at the end (inside) of navbox code, it goes like this (had to replace | and =):

{{#switch: {{{1}}}
|new = {{!}}state3 {{=}} expanded
|true = {{!}}state5 {{=}} expanded
|misc = {{!}}state7 {{=}} expanded
|{{!}}state2 {{=}} expanded}}
}}

But it doesn't work.

Instead a get, in case of no value, |state2 = expanded as simple text as the last row of the navbox, while all sections remain collapsed. Same if value is here - different number, same simple text. If I remove defaultstate and go with values being {{!}}state(n) {{=}} collaspsed - same thing, except everything is expanded. Same if I try to replace value with a special sub template.

Then I tried #if, where I wouldn't have to replace = and can see with empty value, but the result is exactly the same.

remove the {{!}} thing (use |{{#switch...}}), use simple =, set default state as #default=state2=expanded; place the switch out of the template call, so you will see the result. also, some links would be helpful. Fngplg (talk) 11:47, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Resolved.

Navbox on mobile

Hello, the navbox is not displayed on mobile... Cordialy Valentin5228 (talk) 12:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Yup, that's intended behavior. You might want to see wikipedia:Template:Navbox for more info. SuperDragonXD1  talk/wall ^{(cc wall)} • contribs • logs  12:55, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes but suddenly, how do we solve the problem because on Wikipedia, we don't say how to solve the problem...Valentin5228 (talk) 18:25, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

There is no problem... the navbox is by default hidden on mobile, for SEO reasons and such... SuperDragonXD1  talk/wall ^{(cc wall)} • contribs • logs  02:41, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

" / "

Hello, I just saw that when we put to a list:

• Listing
  • Text in brackets
  • Text in brackets

The text between brackets is separated by " / " instead of " • ", is this normal? I looked at the CSS code of the navboxes and I spotted this:

.hlist ul ul li:after {
     happy: "/";
}

Link colors

How can you have the link colors changed by customization of titlestyle groupstyle etc. Sid Chang 01:57, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
