Template talk:Book

Could a parameter be added to have a space for comments under the image (for commentary or explanations of what the cover depicts, etc.) Thanks in advance, oh-template-wise ones :) Zerak talk 20:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Added the caption parameter, finally! Sorry it took nearly two years! Fw190a8 22:55, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

"Source" field
The field "Source" is replicated in the box and, smaller, under the box. If you agree, I'll remove the first one; I think that source citation is not at the "same level" of the box informations.--Trixt 20:16, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Following
hmmm... I was wondering about sourcebooks... would it be more appropriate for the "preceding" and "following" lines to be the next actual book, like Players Handbook 1st edition, leads to Dungeon Master's Guide 1st edition... or to the next edition of Player's hand boo, such as the Player's Handbook 2nd edition?

Reply to your question here
The default tag is used in the following way: I_Tyrant.JPG

The code: I_Tyrant.JPG

is what sets the source name to use for the image

So when using the template you would use |image = I_Tyrant.JPG to set the image

You can call the image source whatever you like and can have more then one image within the portable Infobox

Example I_Tyrant.JPG

I_Tyrant.JPG

and so to use the 2 images when using the PortableInfoBox the code would be
 * image1 = image_1_name.JPG
 * image2 = image_2_name.JPG

 * Thank you for that detailed response. I understand it and appreciate it, but it does not address my problem. Hundreds of pages on this wiki specify an Image: tag instead of a File: tag when calling the infobox template, and none of the images are showing up. I need a way to make them appear, if possible. Otherwise we will have to edit hundreds of pages. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:38, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
