Error handling
I've listed some common infobox errors at User:John of Reading/Image errors. Anyone interested in this LUA module might like to take a look. -- John of Reading (talk) 10:02, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've done some work on this. Have done the following:
- images beginning with http: (either linked or unlinked) are now suppressed.
- gallery tags now pass through without further processing
- thumbnail images now are added to Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images (for article namespace only)
- Any other suggestions would be welcome. There is also the task to roll it out to more infoboxes since I only did it to most of those that were using the {{Hide if placeholder image}} template. -- WOSlinker (talk) 21:55, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
- This looks good! I've updated the descriptions at User:John of Reading/Image errors. -- John of Reading (talk) 22:15, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Suggestion: maximum size
I have a suggestion: some infoboxes (e.g., Infobox mountain) have a maximum size parameter for their image. Can someone add this feature to this module? I could try to figure out Lua syntax, but it may be faster for someone who knows what they are doing. —hike395 (talk) 12:05, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, will have a look. Was already thinking about adding it. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:12, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Improve description
The description say "Inputs: image - Can either be a bare filename or a fully formatted image link" but the examples show three versions that work: fully formatted, "File:xxxxx.xxx" and "xxxx.xxx" Is there a simple way to expand the description to include the third case?

- I've updated it a bit. There also the doc page at Module:InfoboxImage/doc which could do with some further expansion. Contributions are very welcome. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:20, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
http/https
The tests for image names beginning "http:" should also catch "https:", shouldn't they? -- John of Reading (talk) 16:50, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Code optimization
image = mw.ustring.sub(image,6,mw.ustring.len(image)); can be shorten to image = mw.ustring.sub(image,6);. The third argument for ustring.sub can be omitted. mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#string.sub -- ChongDae (talk) 03:12, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Documentation for module
Why doint we create a seprate documentation for module for example templates use template:documentation why doint we create module:documentation so that it support stuff for module which the template doesent instead of liking to start for documentation and then linking box for end box 86.139.246.76 (talk) 15:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Error in the code
Hello. I just saw, that in the example
| {{#invoke:InfoboxImage|InfoboxImage|image=Abbey Rd Studios.jpg|sizedefault=250px|alt=The front stairs and door of Abbey Road Studios}} | The front stairs and door of Abbey Road Studios |
|---|
the text from the alt-attribute doesn't appear in Firefox 21 like a tooltip. Why? I think, that the code has to be changed. The resulting Wiki code now is:
[[File:Abbey Rd Studios.jpg|250px|alt=The front stairs and door of Abbey Road Studios]]
But it has to be a little bit other:
[[File:Abbey Rd Studios.jpg|250px|The front stairs and door of Abbey Road Studios]]
I think, that you mixed the alt parameter of the module with the Wiki image coding. I created a working version on the page eo:Modulo:InfoboxImage. I also added a new parameter center there. It works very fine on the page eo:Vikipedio:Lua/Moduloj/InfoboxImage/en. But the linked version is a little bit localized for the language Esperanto. The code lines with dosiero: has not to be copied. Greetings --Tlustulimu (talk) 11:12, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
- I just created a sandbox version of this module. It works now:
| {{#invoke:InfoboxImage/sandbox|InfoboxImage|image=Abbey Rd Studios.jpg|sizedefault=250px|alt=The front stairs and door of Abbey Road Studios}} | Script error: No such module "InfoboxImage/sandbox". |
|---|
