Template talk:Archive box

Broken?[edit]

This template's appearance has recently changed (border removed, displayed on the left rather than on the right). Could someone see what happened? --Eusebius (talk) 07:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update template[edit]

Please update the template from the current en:Template:Archive box (from which it was copied originally). The current en.wp version offers more features, including an optional search box. Rd232 (talk) 10:46, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A straight copy/paste makes it lose the frame around it and calls for a redlink (on Commons) Template:Talk other. Just from looking at preview. I don't have time atm to track down exactly what's going on. If you or someone else could, that'd be great. Killiondude (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've brought across , but it's more complicated than it looks. On Wikipedia (currently), {{Archivebox}} is just a legacy wrapper for {{Archives}}. On Commons, the templates are still separate (archivebox uses either {{Archive list}} or {{Archive list long}}). Commons' {{Archives}} looks fairly similar to Wikipedia (with search option etc).... I'm sure it can be sorted, but it's more work than I bargained for. Rd232 (talk) 19:20, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Add search to template[edit]

And reinstate previous Update template request? It was a good request and I for one need a means to search Commons talk archives where links just rot away. At least someone (not me) could try to add a search box similar to the one on my User:84user page. I quickly pasted {{Search box}} here as an example, without any layout. See {{Search box}} for detailed documentation. -84user (talk) 13:16, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please make a specific request that an admin can implement with a minimum of technical knowledge. If you need help with the technical details, please post a request at the Help desk. Powers (talk) 17:15, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Internationalization[edit]

Hi! I've created an i18n subpage (/i18n). Can you replace Archives with {{Arcive box/i18n|lang={{{lang|}}} }}? Thanks! --tacsipacsi (talk) 05:36, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done with translate extension so the English translation will be remained protected but other translation can be added easily. Please review the hu translation which is based yours. −ebraminio^talk 18:52, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I think it's can be handled with {{Autotranslate}}: {{Autotranslate|base=Archive box/i18n}}, this is a clearer way. --tacsipacsi (talk) 10:35, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weird layout with standard use of template ArchiveBox?[edit]

Hi. I tried to put my talk page into an ArchiveBox. But the outcome is not what I intended. Esp. the Template Template:Start multicol und the Template Template:Multicol break do not seem to do what the documentation says. What did I do wrong?? --hdamm (talk) 08:53, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request[edit]

Change {{Archive link}} to {{#if:{{{link|}}}|{{{link|}}}|{{Archive link}}}} so the link below the archive box image doesn't have to be Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Talk page guidelines#how to archive. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 12:07, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Majora (talk) 21:16, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Archive search[edit]

Any User:talk content that has been archived is no longer searchable in the web browser (using Ctrl+F or similar) on the User:talk page. All archived discussions are effectively "hidden", unless the user visits each archive sub-page and searches in the browser (easy when there are 3 or fewer), or builds a custom search in the search box. English Wikipedia's {Archive box} includes a "Search archives" button. Adding the same here would be great.

(This has been hinted at twice before.)

Until search is added to this {Archive box}, here is a a work-around that adds a right-aligned "Search archives" box below the {Archive box}:

({Archive box} only works if the names are exactly "Archive 1", ... and only lists through "Archive 100" (see doc).)
({Search box} can be adapted to archive pages named using other conventions.)

{{Archive box|auto=yes}}

{| class="infobox" style="width:1em;float:right"
|-
|{{Search box
|root={{SUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}/Archive
|nosuffix=y
|search-break=no
|search-width=22
|search-button-label=Search archives
}}
|}

Dir[edit]

New param was added for using in Commons:License review/Requests and similar pages (with the variable LTR/RTL text direction in header).
If someone may make this code more easy - feel free, be bold ;) --Kaganer (talk) 22:10, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
