Template:Card

The purpose of this template is to create a way of displaying the CommunityProjects information in a visually distinct yet easily understandable manner. The Template:Card will generate a WikiCard--a 3"x5" notecard--with changeable information. This info is called from project pages; specifically the info that lives outside the "noinclude" tags.

  • These are good, but I prefer solid cards with shading for different stages. - Scott Keeler Comment_green.gif
  • Boy, I go away for a couple days and things change. These are growing on me, they seem fairly self-explanatory (which I like) and am excited for when I'm back in the office to talk with others about how they feel the "cards" are working. Pretty cool idea for sure. -- TakKendrick
  • Is it possible to have the widths of the cards float, based on a person's screen size (32%, for example) instead of fixed? I have an old laptop that only displays 2 columns of cards instead of 3. TedErnst
    • Ted, I purposely chose a fixed width so because I knew we'd be working with limited amounts of data in each card. I think the variable width cards might not work as well. I'll play around with it and let you know... or make a separate template so you can test it out. --Vinh Nguyen
  • I am wondering if the design of these cards is over designed and they can be much simpler. MarkDilley
