Btw, i guessed you'd set Page up to sort out the nav for Jaxx, Andrus, hence why I've not deleted it. When you're done, copy the code across and replace the content of Page with {{delete}} so the admins know it's safe to do so :) - Lt Cmdr. Salak^Talk 20:24, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

PC Nav

Good job on the PC Nav Jaxx. Ya done good. *smile* Toni 21:13, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Adding Pips to the Profiles

I've added the pips to the individual Navs but ran out of time I could devote to it. If you have time, feel free to add what I haven't got done.

I also added the line "Currently assigned to the USS Challenger" so that we would have a link back to the Challenger's main page without having to hit "back" numerous times to get back to it since we took the menu off those pages. Toni 12:49, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Roster images

Hi there! I saw the Apollo is using the roster image style templates and manifests. Yay! If you could, in the future please add the category Category:Roster images to the new files so they are automatically added to the library of roster images and use the naming convention of "Roster-surname.jpg" (surname in lowercase or full name in lower case if surname is already taken) to make things easier to find if people transfer between ships that use this style of templates. Thanks! –Rich^{(talk page)} aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 17:41, 21 January 2014 (CST)

Apollo Crew Nav

I've converted your crew nav to a new "Easy Template" version. Full instructions are available here: Template:Crew.

Simplified format to add officers

No more messy code! Makes it easier to edit position names and preview them to see if they fit correctly!

{{Tile|FIRST NAME|Last Name|UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST|Roster Image}}

For example, just add:

{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|JaxxSmall.jpg}}

to get the next officer's tile added to the nav.

Commanding Officer Andrus Jaxx

Automatic placement of blank portrait

Places the blank portrait roster image if no roster image specified. Example:

{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}

Science Officer M'Wash

Automatic resize of roster image

If an officer's roster image is too large for the nav, it will automatically crop and resize it to fit. Note that while this is a handy feature, it may not produce as nice an image as a properly prepared roster image.

Commanding Officer Andrus Jaxx

Support for Nicknames/Abbreviations

If an officer's name is too long for the nav. Example:

{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}

Commanding Officer C. Egan Manno

Simplified color names

Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, Green

No need to change colspan

Table automatically keeps header and footer centered.

Ship placeholder image

Can be easily specified if there is an odd number of officers.

{{Shiptile|USS Apollo|Achilles.jpg}}

IMPORTANT NOTE

If an officer only has a single name, be sure to still put an extra "pipe" character | after their name.

{{Tile|T'Mar||Gold|Chief of Security|TMarSmall.jpg}}

Chief of Security T'Mar

NEW UPDATE! User Correctioning of Automatic Resize and Crop

You can now tell the template to zoom into your image and change positioning! Check out the image guide for the roster template as the basic principle is the same. Just add the extra numbers for your corrections to the end of the officer's code, with the first number being how far you want the image to move up (i.e., how far do you want to see more downward), the second number being how far to move the image left (see more to the right), and the third number being how many times to zoom the image. 1.2x is a good place to start.

Example Original:

Intelligence Officer Tracey Townson

Raw code for corrections:

{{Tile|Tracey|Townson|Black|Intelligence Officer|TraceyIntel uni.jpg|0|40|1.7}}

Intelligence Officer Tracey Townson
