Template talk:Crafting Table

Any thought of adding a "mod" parameter that allows linking to articles under Mods// rather than linking directly to an article under the core namespace? I'm no expert with MediaWiki templates so the concept of adding one myself is a bit intimidating. --JT 03:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The template wasn't originally intended to be used with mods, I just stuck a category in as a temporary thing so the mod items at least aren't confused with official ones. The problem with your suggestion is not everything on the table is a mod item, if a mod recipe uses sticks for example, it's going to link to the wrong place. The only solution would be to add an entire new set of parameters, I'll probably work on this later. – ultradude25 ( T at 05:56, 19 March 2011 (UTC)


 * This has now been added. Documentation and Grid/Furnace in progress. – ultradude25 ( T at 04:30, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Grid/Furnace and both doc pages are now complete. – ultradude25 ( T at 05:25, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Animations
I uploaded the updates to make animations possible without animated gifs. Currently it only works for the default style! Also the JavaScript and CSS still has to be uploaded (like described here).

Please if there is any bug in it, report on my talk page (or fix it yourself of course).

Also maybe someone has to correct my commits to the doc page. (My English isn't that good.) --STS(t 20:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Translating
On the Dutch wiki I made a little modification to translate links. The template originally links to the same page as the name of the image. To change that you need a database of English words and translations (like this one). If some languages are interested, take a look at the Dutch templates or contact me on my talk page.--STS(t 14:08, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, this is extreme. I have removed all the links in german (link=), you can't click on the pictures. -- Oliver Scholz -  de.Wiki Admin  10:32, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Optimizing
I've made an optimized version for this template, but it no more supports the image parameter. So before uploading we have to make sure all page are updated to the new way of animating grids. I sthere some list of pages already converted? Or is there an abbylity to get a list from media wiki of pages using the image parameter of this template? The optimized version will support animating grids using mods.--STS(t 10:24, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Bug with Animated Items
For animated items with a quantity value (ex: breaking an ore block into 9 ingots), the quantity number link is wrong. It links to all of the items being cycled through seperated by underscores. An example from the Crafting page:

Click on the "9" to see what I mean. Anyone know how to fix this? --Warlock 20:16, 1 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I've fixed a bug in the Grid/Crafting Square Slide template, but the error you have is not from the template. You should have as much OA values as Output values :


 * and it will work nicely. – Scaler (t) 01:19, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

images vs styles
I saw you guys use images to make the background of the grid, but there is an easier method, not requiring, but just letting it fit in the table cell. Here is an example:

Styled table: Image:

As you can see that styled table looks (almost) identical to File:Grid layout None (small).png, and changing the height and width to 46px you got the large background image. I think this would be quite useful, but do with it what you want. Also, if you don't know how to add this or something, I could add it myself too, but I'd like to hear what you think about it first Joeytje50 10:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)


 * It doesn't look the same though, look at the corners. The image is tiny anyway, it's not really going to make any difference. – ultradude25 ( T at 11:29, 16 August 2011 (UTC)


 * He didn't say it was "the same"; he said it was "almost identical". I couldn't even tell the difference until you mentioned it and I leaned in to get a better look.  Though, personally, I don't much care for tables (I'd use a positioned div, myself) and, as you said, the image is small.  The difference, really, is negligible.  If a situation is ever encountered where an image is unwieldy, though, bordered elements should be taken into consideration.  ;) ~Markus talk 08:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * This is an old discussion, since then I have a prototype of the template that uses 3 divs to make an identical looking background instead of using the image. Once it has animation support it'll be replacing the current template. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 13:51, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

?
Someone replaced the template with a single image. I tried to revert it, but it doesn't appear to have worked entirely? --billybobfred 21:41, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
