Help:InputBox

This is a ShoutWiki help page, hosted at ShoutWiki Hub. If you want to suggest changes, leave a message on its talk page. If you want to replace this page with a custom help page for your wiki, click the create button above.

InputBoxes are elements that let you create a custom text field to perform certain actions, such as creating a page or finding a page on a wiki. They're enabled on every wiki in ShoutWiki, so you don't have to worry about it not working. Below is some documentation to help you create text fields.

Types of boxes

Type of box	Output	What does it do?
create		This lets you create a page on a wiki.
comment		This lets you add a section to a page.
commenttitle
search		Let's you find information on a wiki with two options of searching: Try exact match - This will attempt to return a result that is exactly what you typed. Search full text - This will attempt to return the most relevant results on a wiki.
search2		Similar to the search, except the button is forced to the right. If it's container width isn't as wide as the input box, then the search button will flow to the bottom right of the text field.
fulltext		This is a textbox that is similar to search, except it only has the fulll text function.
move		This lets you relocate and/or rename the title of a page.

Attributes

Attribute	What is it?
bgcolor	This lets you customize the outside background color of the inputbox.
width	This adjusts the width of the text field (however, it doesn't adjust the width of the button).
default	This gives some default text that'll be shown in the inputbox.
preload	Whichever page that's entered for this value will be shown in the editor, to give you a basic foundation for creating a new and perhaps similar page.
editintro	Whichever page is given as the value, will show up above the edit form after pressing the button.
buttonlabel	This lets you customize what the primary button says.
hidden	This lets you hide you the input box if you put "yes" as the value.
searchbuttonlabel	This lets you customize the text of the button that says "Search full text".
break	If you put yes as the value, it'll put the button and the text box on separate lines.
namespaces	This lets you customize what namespaces you want to search through.
prefix	This lets you search for pages beginning with a certain string.
placeholder	This lets you customize what the inputbox text says if there's nothing inside.
