Wiki - current template TIP - muddysteel - 2019-06-02

Hi -

I'm starting to lean into updating the Wiki site and have a general Q around templates.  The https://kodi.wiki/view/Template:Tip is a good one:

As a template, it doesn't really do very much to act as a decent "call-out" - no visual separation, etc.  I'd like to know how malleable changing something like this TIP template is:  Is that OK/acceptable, or does it take someone who has been around for a bit?

(This specific template is used a whopping ten times)

TIA!

Hello @muddysteel

That Tip template looks a bit pointless. Not sure what it was meant to do, but currently does nothing.

What would you like to modify it to?

@the_other_guy

Sure. Do you have a wiki account yet?


RE: Wiki - current template TIP - muddysteel - 2019-06-02

I do.  I went ahead and changed the template, which is easier to demonstrate versus explaining (it's Wiki, easy enough to rollback).

@muddysteel

Looks good. Judging by the edit history, it used to be something similar, so not sure why it was changed to "nothing". Maybe it was a forgotten work in progress.

Thanks for the assist. Smile

More to come as I gain experience w/Kodi.  (Just sorting out how to line file names/directory layouts to line up with Kodi's conventions - BIG rework of my NAS LOL).

Ok, great.

Have you seen the guide to set up the video library. Plenty of directions and images showing how it is done... https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Create_Video_Library


RE: Wiki - current template TIP - muddysteel - 2019-06-13

Nope - have not but will!  Thanks for the safety tip!  Wink
