Template talk:Infobox Results

This template is something special.

Unlike most other templates that are based on the Infobox or Navbox classes, this template is based off of the wikitable class.

Where the other templates could be easily based off of one another, it was exceptionally difficult getting this specific template to work since it is nothing like an infobox or navbox. The entire template had to be written from scratch, with very little code from the other templates used in it's creation (for row colors, that's pretty much it). There was also some implementation of the "hidden parameters" from the infoboxes into this, as not all 100 competitors will be known right off the bat, nor will all 100 be used in later stages of a competition.

TL;DR, template features:
 * It is based on a wikitable, but you add data to it like an infobox.
 * Supports up to 100 competitors maximum. Use the notes to describe any discrepancies.
 * The competitor numbers are automatically added when you fill in the correct information (c#_name).
 * If you leave competitor name parameters blank, the entire row for that competitor number will be hidden.
 * The rows are alternatively colored between a dark and light grey.
 * Boxes for a stage clear, can not be colored blue.

What can we color it then Anshinritsumai? (Iamsofakingcool 08:03, June 13, 2010 (UTC))

That's exactly the problem, the box can't be colored at all. The entire row is set to be colored, and there's no clear way that we could color the individual box when someone clears, because the template doesn't know what a clear means. It's going to be impossible to color the boxes with this template. An alternative, such as bolding the Clear (0.4 seconds remaining) text would be the logical step. Either way, this needs to be explored and discussed before it can be put into use. ~ Anshinritsumai 09:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, major update. I've done alot of work on the template in an attempt to get it to be colored when someone clears, and so as long as you add "Clear" by itself in the results, it will be colored blue. An additional parameter (c#_clear) can be used to specify time left on the clock, and will still be in the same box. Take a look at User:Anshinritsumai/Dev7 for an example of how this works. ~ Anshinritsumai 22:54, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
