Feed The Beast Wiki talk:Immersive Engineering project

Welcome to the project
Hey chaps, I decided to start this as a project so we can centralise/coordinate the update process. There are several articles missing, and a lot of pages have out-of-date information. Hopefully some more people decide to sign on.

I think it'd be fab if the navbox started with the most relevant section open and the other sections closed. Having some part of the navbox open at the bottom of the page would draw attention to its existance. (Side question: Can we find numbers on how frequently a template gets used?)

I'm trying to make that work on User:JavaRogers/Sandbox, but I'm running into technical barriers. In the source code for User:JavaRogers/Template:Navbox Immersive Engineering/content, changing line 7:  doesn't seem to accomplish anything. Also, I'm not familiar with Navbox/Lazy (what it's good for / why we use it), a metatemplate that the navbox uses.

 * Navbox/Lazy is meant to "lazy load" an navbox. Basically this means when you go to an IE page, it doesn't load the navbox; the navbox only loads once you try to open it. This makes loading pages a lot faster if there's a large navboxes [I can't say how much because I'm not sure where the metrics are hidden because of the FANDOM migration]. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to achieve, but it probably wouldn't if the IE navbox continues to be lazy-loaded. -Xbony2 (talk) 18:10, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * The idea was something like this example image, so when you're on the Wire Coil page, the navbox will already be open to the "Power & wiring" section, but the other sections aren't loaded. ——JavaRogers (talk) 21:41, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah from a technical perspective you can't have it be lazy loaded and do that at the same time (at least with current functionalities). -Xbony2 (talk) 14:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Also, does anyone know what it takes to make the cell backgrounds/outlines show on Cg/Engineer's Workbench, Cg/Engineer's Workbench/modify and Cg/Engineer's Workbench/configure? The docs say the cells have the class "craftingGridNoBg", and I don't know why or where to change that. If no template solution, we could add them directly on the images...
