Coding help!
Hey Jack. I was wondering if you could help me with something. How simple would it be to make {{Multiple image}} allow up to seven images, instead of the five it currently permits? ÷seresin 06:21, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Looks quite straightforward; want me to just do it? Anyone gonna get bent? Cheers, Jack Merridew 06:24, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- That would be great; thanks. If anyone gets bent I can just move it to a special template. And, with respect, has "anyone getting bent" ever really been a big consideration? ;-) ÷seresin 06:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Done Give it a whirl. Cheers, Jack Merridew 06:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, but if you see here, there are some extraneous texts in the rendering. A similar thing happened when I tried to do it. Also, it seems that broke all the transclusions. If you're still feeling helpful and want to work on it, would you mind using a subpage, so we don't break the whole wiki? tx. ÷seresin 06:32, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- I must have missed some detail; will look further and run a test somewhere. Cheers, Jack Merridew 06:38, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ya, initial expression needs attention, too ;) Jack Merridew 06:40, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- See: Template:Multiple image/test and new examples in you sandbox. I believe it's now properly extended to seven. There's an issue with both old and new; see the latter examples where it's vertical and the widths are individually specified; the container's with is set to width1 + 12 even if the others are wider. A huge, nasty expression could find the max-width, but I'm not going to try that. I'll ping Chris for input, though, so... we'll see. Cheers, Jack Merridew 07:40, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- It works for what I needed it to, so I'm happy. You win a hundred internets Mr Merridew. Thanks very much. ÷seresin 07:47, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Paste it over if you're happy with it (mebbe you did, will look); revert my last on the /doc, too, to get the 7 and example back. I'll be sure and bank those, right away. Cheers, Jack Merridew 07:50, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- and I see where you're using it, too ;) Jack Merridew 07:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I think, actually, what I'll do is just make it a separate template that I'll use instead of merging it back to the main template. As you said there's something hairy about clipping in it, and if that can't be fixed I don't want to break all the templates out there. It works for the specific use I had in mind, so it's all good. So you don't really need to do much else to it, because I don't anticipate anyone using it. Thanks again. ÷seresin 08:23, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

- Actually, the clipping is just caused by the template simply using width1 if it's specified. I've updated the sandbox to do a proper comparison, which seems to work fine. If you now want to increase the number of possible images then it should work. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 08:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Apologies
Regarding that last sock report you wished help with. I did originally look at the case, but I didn't know enough about the situation/case to make an educated guess, and I didn't wish to shoot in the dark. I'm sorry that I haven't gotten back to you sooner about the matter; life has been rather busy on my end. I've been spending less and less time on wikipedia. Again, sorry for not contacting you sooner about this.— Dædαlus 07:52, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- That was Gabi/Sami, right? I archived that and have not looked much at them. They quack loudly and she'll get dinged one of these times; simply does not get the wiki. Jack Merridew 07:56, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- It was a bunch of IP socks if I recall... can't remember though, been distracted with 3d and mirc scripts. I can't remember the name of any suspected master. And again, I am sorry for not getting back sooner.— Dædαlus 08:00, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'd have to look; the one I was thinking is User talk:Jack Merridew/Archive 5#Sami50421/Gabi Hernandez. Jack Merridew 08:08, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
