Forum:Help with Infoboxes

Forums: Index > Community help

---

So, I'm trying to set up an infobox template to create other infoboxes from and I need some help with some things.

This is how my infobox looks like right now.

First of all, I need to get that second header to become an actual header, like the first one. I've tried a lot of things but that's the closest I could get. But I also need to learn how to make it work with the {{#if: thing (I tried it before and couldn't get it), because some of the infoboxes I'll be creating will need it and some won't. I should probably make the image and its caption optional too.

Also, how can I get the titles to be aligned with the first row of their respective fields? I'd find it easier to read the infobox like that.

Here's my code:

<includeonly>{| align="right" style="background:#b0d5d3; border: 2px solid #2d848a; width:280px;"
|-
| align="center" style="background:#2d848a; color:#FFFFFF;"| '''<big>{{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}</big>'''

I fixed the second header by removing some seemingly randomly placed code (which created an empty table) and using colspan="2" (it wouldn't work with the random table there as it was taking up the first column). As for why you were struggling with ifs, I don't know but I've applied them to this, the image and the caption. Also, I fixed the aligning of the titles using valign="top".

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
