User:Ring/Topicon

Usage

{{User:Ring/Topicon|1|2|3|4|5|<named parameters>...}}

Parameters

1 - image

plain file name of the image (default:Tango-heart-icon.png - also fallback if defined, but empty)

2 - top

offset from top of page container, including units (default: 27px;)

3 - offset

pixel to move icon to the left; exact value for right:, if first icon (default: 10)

4 - width

force specified width of image, in pixels (default: 15)

5 - icon_nr

index of top icon (default:0)

link

destination if image is clicked (see notes)

description

tooltip text showing up on hover over icon (default: top icon)

class

use specified classes for container, e.g. class=metadata topicon

id

name to be used for the container

style

additional CSS instructions for container

Notes

• use icon_nr if using multiple top icons on one page; especially useful if all have same width
• use offset also to correct padding between multiple icons with different widths
• specify width and leave it empty to use actual image size, e.g. {{User:Ring/Topicon||5px|10px|}}
• link parameter for images doesn't seem to be supported by this wiki. For now, a workaround has been implemented - handle with care!

At first, I looked at User:Why Are We Fighting/Templates/Topicon, but didn't understand why there should be a table around the icon (please tell me, if you know). Then, I found another template on Wikipedia, which also restricted the top icon to certain namespaces, which I thought would be a good idea... It's heavily customized though, due to the lag of the imagemap tag in this wiki's parser (I guess) and other stuff. By now, only the namespace switch and parts of the corresponding error message remained.

Currently, I have no idea of how to change the link destination of images other than redirects on the image pages. If you know, please tell me. The template uses a dirty workaround though.
