This isn't quite what I had inmind...

Somewhere on here was a little box with an "i" in it and when you hover over it, or click on it, up pops a box with picture and details of the item. Can we not do this for tips? That way, information is kept crisp and neat and a pop up box with the tip can be accessed by players, should the click it? -- Dragonette 00:48, 7 May 2008 (BST)

Not easily as it uses javascript, so would require a plugin to the wiki - It also would be particularly wiki friendly as it shows a page in the pop up, so the tip would have to be static and not in the wiki form - Brammers is the man to ask! δρ • Delphi ^{(t) • (c)} 01:05, 7 May 2008 (BST)

Could use JQuery and the cluerip plugin, to do this. It has got several modes for extracting content include getting out of an element that is hidden, so you can your template as before with little changes, and that gets around the wiki rendering issues.

It needs a bit of work to investigate, and also the wiki needs some tweaking to make JQuery part of the overall site at all times. --Brammers 19:52, 7 May 2008 (BST)

Sounds like a lot of work over a small idea. It was a thought, don't put yourselves out guys. Infact, the show / hide now works on my screen. It still needs to be under the quest line as before, but it looks ok, now. -- Dragonette 22:57, 7 May 2008 (BST)

Ahh dont worry about the amount of work, if its worthwhile generally we will look at the options (im not saying we will do it, but it may also have other effects thoughout the rest of the site - a full integration of the Jquery system would be very useful imho). I should have mentioned that you would likely need a ctrl-F5 refresh, as we had to change some of the base java script used on the site for the show and hide. As for the comments about the placement of the tips, I tried the underneath the lines, as the previous tiplines were, however I didnt feel they fitted as well. This way we are able to fill the blank space, and using the extra comment the tip is associated with the quest step! δρ • Delphi ^{(t) • (c)} 00:03, 8 May 2008 (BST)

I think it's just the picture's that's making it all look wrong now. :-D Maybe time to copy a full page over, pictures and then see what this looks like. It could be that we all hate a finished article now lol -- Dragonette 09:53, 8 May 2008 (BST)

The Tangent epic would be a good candidate to test this on, as there are loads of pictures for that one. One idea for a possible change is move the pictures to bellow the tips and mission steps, see if that helps at all? --Brammers 10:35, 8 May 2008 (BST)

That would be an easy change to make, and i could then use the non float image templates which were made for that reason, ok so if im bored this afternoon at some point I will do the tangent epic on the Dev03 page δρ • Delphi ^{(t) • (c)} 11:23, 8 May 2008 (BST)

• Additional point, but something noted. Do we need two titles? The page is title enough on guides, so why do we need to title it again under the contents part? Just a thought. -- Dragonette 15:55, 8 May 2008 (BST)
