==Infobox Company==
    
Hi, Snerfling,
 
Hi, Snerfling,
 +
I modified code from Directory:Ceniare and added it to my Directory but I now have a dash-lined box around the coding at the top of my page. I obviously have done something wrong and am retiring from computer for the night. I will take another look at it in morning with a fresh view. Thanks for all your help, you've been great.

:Oops, I apologize for not being more clear. Centiare templates start/end with double curly braces like this <nowiki>{{ }}</nowiki>. The full infobox company template can be found at [[Template:Infobox_Company]] and looks like this:
 +
<pre>
 +
{{Infobox Company
 +
| company_name    =
 +
| company_logo    =
 +
| company_slogan  =
 +
| company_type    =
 +
| foundation      =
 +
| founder          =
 +
| location        =
 +
| key_people      =
 +
| industry        =
 +
| products        =
 +
| revenue          =
 +
| operating_income =
 +
| net_income      =
 +
| num_employees    =
 +
| parent          =

:The easiest way to use infoboxes (or anything else, really), is to use  a pre-loaded one like [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare]]'s, or the ones used at the ''[[Centiare:Listing|Add a listing]]'' facility,  then go back and edit as necessary with your actual information. (Note how much information can be input within any section of the infobox?) By the way, the <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tag is how you get Centiare to display templates/code, rather than actually '''run''' them. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 06:01, 29 January 2007 (PST)
