{{{text}}}


Usage[edit source]

The template takes two named parameters. type is optional

{{Messagebox
|type = success (or warning, failure, normal) can be left blank
|text = your message content
}}

For a more complex (up to 80 parameters) template, see the Infobox template Template_talk:Infobox

Examples[edit source]

no type, uses default (normal)

Why be normal?

You won!

Do not spit into the wind

You kissed your cousin


Making this template[edit source]

The parser code (how to do switch statements) is based on the example of the Ambox template from Mediawiki

The following CSS is added to skins/freephile/freephile_template.css to make this template complete

The background images for the CSS are put into the images subfolder to make it easier to distinguish what is based on monobook, and what is extra

.message-box {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color:#EBFFEA; border:1px solid #0BD200; color:#333333; padding:8px; margin:10px;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: 6px 6px;}
.message-box a:link, .message-box a:active, .message-box a:visited {color:#990000;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc;}
.message-box a:hover {color:#990000;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px solid #990000;}
.message-success {font-weight: bold;border:1px solid #8FD500; background-color:#F2FFD7; background-image: url(images/check.gif);padding-left: 28px;}
.message-failure {font-weight: bold; color: #990000; border:1px solid #DD3C10; background-color:#FFEBE8; background-image: url(images/wrong.gif);padding-left: 28px;}
.message-warning {font-weight: bold;color:#FF6633;border: 1px solid #ff9900; background-color:#fbf8c7; background-image: url(images/warning_sign.gif);padding-left: 28px;}
.message-box .message-normal {font-weight:normal;color: #333;}
