Templates download/ButtonLink

Download

This template creates a link that is styled as a button. It can be inserted into a wiki page via the VisualEditor Insert > Template menu.

Importing the template

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

On the page Special:Import follow these steps:

1. Select file and choose HW-ButtonLink.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 Upload file... .

The template is now available in your wiki.

Important! After importing the template to your wiki the input fields for the template parameters are usually not automatically available. You have to open the imported template file and make an edit (e.g., add a space and then save the page) to activate the template data functionality. The input fields should now be displayed correctly when you use the template on a page.

Pages included in the import

The xml import creates the following files in your wiki:

• Template:ButtonLink

Using the template

1. Add the template from the VisualEditor insert-dialog.
2. Fill in the form fields as needed.

Note: If, after importing the template to your wiki, the input fields are not displayed when you first integrate it into a wiki page, you need to open the template in the template namespace, make a change (e.g. insert spaces) and save the template. The input fields should now be displayed correctly.
