Help Improve Pack Creation!

I want to implement a side TOC pane that can be hidden/revealed. Will make these issues non-relevant.

[TechAngel85]

That sounds nice but until it's implemented that bit of CSS can be added inline on the template as a temporary fix for now.

Word wrapping on TOC might not be all that great. I was looking at TOC template stuff on mediawiki a couple days ago and you'd basically have to build a custom TOC to get the effect you want. It's better not to change all TOC's site wide for a couple peoples' requests.

word-wrap: normal;

or

word-wrap: break-word;

 

could be useful.

Hiding text is not ideal either. If a TOC is too wide, then it's not a good candidate as a floating TOC. Let's not go altering things in the Wiki that is not consistent. This is one example of why I don't like the CSS extension.

Since, everybody is talking about TOC... is there a super easy way to make the TOC ignore this for example.

<span style="background-color: green;">     </span>

I have a big space in the TOC in front of all the mods. Same with the numbering. Its rather annoying.

 

Edit: Well, I guess someone answered it fast than I post. I was distracted...

Updated the Pack template with a few changes:

[*]Fixed the Required Packs, Compatible Packs, etc. to be able to show a large number of packs without intruding on the wrong lines by turning it into an invisible table. (example: https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Requiem)

[*]Turned the main pack info box into a table of sorts, allowing its size to change dynamically upon content given. (See https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Requiem vs. https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Explorers_Guide)

[*]Placed the link to the forum thread for the pack to be in front the main Pack Info via the table. (Compare https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:STEP:Extended vs. https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Requiem vs. https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Explorers_Guide). Not certain if this will stay.

[*]Fully backwards-compatible.

Fixed Pack/PostConfig template so that it wouldn't in some cases show the wiki code

== Post Installation Configuration ==

at the bottom.

[DoubleYou]

Updated Pack template to only show the Required Packs, Compatible Packs, and/or Required DLC(s) if they have been specified.

[DoubleYou]

Updated the Pack template and form to support specifying a current version (optional). Fully backwards compatible. Example: https://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Utilities

The titles of that pack remind me of this. Daft Punk FTW!!!!

 

Good job, DY.

Nice stuff. I'd just keep everything horizontal though imho. I tend to skip over or not notice vertical text. Might just be me :)

How about slanted?

[Nearox]

Just had a look at it... Nah. There is plenty of space (on my 1080p screen) for it to be horizontal. Also I would have it read Forum Thread or Support Thread just so that it sticks out a bit more.

By the way can you use spoiler tages or something else so that the user has to click on it and then it opens a box with text? It doesn't seem to work for me at the wiki. 

 

Much like you can on forums:

 

 

example

 

 

For instance, instead of the seperate REGS - SRLE compatibility section, I want to include these instructions at the REGS page but only if they are initially hidden and can be viewed by users when they click a box or something like a spoiler tag. If spoiler tage is the way to go, is it possible to change the titel from 'spoiler' to 'instructions for SRLE users'.

Oh yeah also, is it possible for the ToC to include numbers in both the ToC and in the headings that are on the page? I think back when we made REGS we weren't able to do it, and only have numbers in the ToC.
