This module depends on the following other modules:
This module does the processing for three userbox templates, {{userbox }}, {{userbox-2 }} and {{userbox-r }}.
| Template | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| {{userbox }} | Makes userboxes with an id on the left-hand side, or with no id. | id {{{info}}}{{{info}}} |
| {{userbox-2 }} | Makes userboxes with an id on both the left- and right-hand sides. | id1 {{{info}}} id2 |
| {{userbox-r }} | Makes userboxes with an id on the right-hand side. | {{{info}}} id |
To use any of these templates from a wiki page, please see the individual template pages for documentation. To generate userboxes directly from Lua, read on.
Generating userboxes from Lua
To generate a userbox directly from Lua, first load the module.
localuserbox=require('Module:Userbox')
You can then run any of the three templates with the code:
userbox.main(functionName,args)
For {{userbox }} use the function name "_userbox"; for {{userbox-2 }} use the function name "_userbox-2"; and for {{userbox-r }} use the function name "_userbox-r". The args parameter is a table of arguments to pass to the different userbox functions. To see a list of valid arguments, please consult the individual template pages.
