Messagebox

Starting with BlueSpice 4.3, these messages boxes can be inserted as a Content droplet. Therefore, importing this template is no longer necessary.

Download

This template can be integrated into every wiki page from the editor toolbar (VisualEditor). The type of box (hint, tip, warning, etc.) can be specified as a parameter. This parameter sets the background color as well as the optional icon.

The symbol can be activated and deactivated.

Importing the template

The import file is included in the archive file HW-messagebox.zip. Unpack the zip file first.

On the page Special:Import follow these steps:

1. Select file and choose HW-messagebox.xml.
2. Enter an Interwiki prefix. Since this field is required, simply add hw (for hallowelt).
3. Keep the selection Import to default locations.
4. Click Sie Upload file... .

The template is now available in your wiki and can be added to a page from the VisualEditor Insert>Template link.

Pages included in the import

The xml import creates the following files in your wiki:

• Template:Messagebox
• Template:Messagebox/styles.css

Alignment adjustments

By default, the box is displayed in full-width. This means that it is displayed below any image that is used directly before the box.

To change this behavior to keep the box within the text-flow you can make the following change in Template:Messagebox/styles.css:

For the css-selector .hw-messagebox, replace the declaration "clear:both" with "overflow:hidden".

Before:

.cd-textbox {
...
clear:both;
}

Afterwards:

.cd-textbox {
...
overflow hidden;
}
