Problem with the strip box

I use MSIE7, and I've noticed that on the strips pictures, the colour of the shorts extends to a horizontal line between shorts and jersey for roughly 3/4 the strip size in each direction (see picture). Does anyone else see this, or is it just me? -mattbuck (Talk) 20:23, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

When I looked with IE7 all kits, which ever team I went to had it... though I use FF3 and there's no problem there. ← chandler 04:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Updated to {{infobox}}

I've updated this template to use {{infobox}} as a base. This makes the template more maintainable for the future, ensures that it fits as closely with other infoboxen as possible (especially the other football boxes, which I've been migrating during the week) and shouldn't have any negative side-effects. If anyone spots any problems with edge cases (or if there's something obviously broken) please let me know.

One purely aesthetic change that's been made is to remove mandatory attributes. As these aren't generally of any use if not specified, I don't see why they should be included if not filled in. if there's consensus that we want to use them anyway I can re-add them. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Meddi has reverted this twice, apparently due to a failure to understand the purpose of the "title" attribute in {{infobox}}. I've left him a note to see if there's anything more to this, but I don't believe so. If anyone else objects to this or wants talked through the template code please let me know. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 14:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

It looks absoutely horrendous, you have no consensus from the football community to take the top off the box. I urge the admin to undo thumperward's destruction of the box until he has consensus to make it look so bad. - Meddi (talk) 02:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Silence implies consensus. You're the only person who has strongly disagreed with the change (a change, I may add, which was also rolled out to all the tournament and league templates and will probably eventually be carried out on the stadium infobox) and you've made no attempt to discuss it with the community until now (and I suspect that it was only the preemptive protection of the template which stopped you from reverting it today). The "top" has not been "taken off of the box"; the template now uses the defined header system documented for Misplaced Pages's tables, which is the most appropriate (and semantic) approach. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:31, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Motto?

When and why was the "motto" parameter added to the infobox? I don't see why it's necessary, tbh. – PeeJay 16:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Loutheblue1878 added it temporarily a month ago. Dudesleeper reverted it from the template, but didn't revert the documentation. I've now fixed that. The current infobox code doesn't support {{{motto}}} and will ignore it if present. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:04, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Broken microformat

this edit broke the hCard microformat in the template, class="fn org" should warp just the club's name, while class="vcard" should apply the the whole table. These classes are mentioned in the template's documentation. Please will somebody fix it? Thank you. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 18:10, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

{{editprotected}}

Change

| bodyclass = fn org

to

| bodyclass  = vcard
| titleclass = fn org

Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 18:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

chrtitle parameter

{{editprotected}} Currently, the "chrtitle" parameter affects both the "Owner" and "Chairman" fields in the infobox. I propose that the "Owner" field be changed to:

| label7 = {{{owntitle|Owner}}}

or even:

| label7 = Owner

This would be very helpful. Thanks. – PeeJay 17:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Good call. I'd go for changing "chrtitle" to "owntitle". Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Changed to use owntitle. --- RockMFR 00:39, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Kit section

When putting kits, the titles below them are Home colours, Away colours, and Third colours. A lot of teams do not have a specific jersey for away games, but do have alternate jerseys which they might use every once in a while. Is there a way that instead of saying Away colours, it says Alternate colours?

Digirami (talk) 07:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Add pattern_name2=Alternate to the article's infobox description. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:10, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

add a caption

{{editprotected}}

Quick and easy. Change:

| image     = {{{image|}}}

to

| image     = {{{image|}}}
| caption   = {{{caption|}}}

hide caption on the template page

{{editprotected}}

Minor tidying to get rid of the weird floating "Infobox football club" on the template page. Change:

| title     = {{{title|{{{clubname|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}

to

| title     = {{{title|{{{clubname|<includeonly>{{PAGENAME}}</includeonly>}}}}}}

Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:41, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Change to "current" field

{{editprotected}}

Minor semantic edit, changing the type of the "current" field to "below" and not "data". Just copy over the contents of the new sandbox. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:20, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 Done --Elonka 22:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

CEO field

There is a CEO field in the documentation but this is not in the template code. Shouldn't there be one? Qwghlm (talk) 10:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Most caps

What about adding a Most caps line? There is already a all time scorer, makes sense to have all tme appearance maker. Yatesy1988 (talk) 22:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Additional of cleanup cat

{{editprotected}}

Requesting sync with the sandbox to add a cleanup category if an article uses an image for the strip and not colour / pattern values. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

 Done--Aervanath (talk) 17:29, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

hCard microformat 'label' property

{{editprotected}}

Please add the hCard microformat "label" property, by changing:

{{#if:{{{ground|}}}|{{{ground|}}}{{#if:{{{capacity|}}}

to:

{{#if:{{{ground|}}}|<span class="label">{{{ground|}}}</span>{{#if:{{{capacity|}}}

Thank you. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 19:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Done. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

And its working, thanks. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 17:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Minor coding updates

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Infobox football club. (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately. Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Requesting re-sync with the sandbox for a few minor coding tweaks. No change in output. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 14:18, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
