Should this be part of the template? BuilderQ 10:13, 7 August 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Templates don't allow "optional" field insertion or if-ing, so if we add this parm to the template, we would have to put info in for all orgs (this is the downside of templates!!!), or get boxes with missing fields showing as three brace things. I don't know if we know that for everyone do we (we could just put in ? where we don't, it's true). Not opposed, just saying..Perhaps a generic field for "additional info" ?? There are also some issues with images, at least as long as we are using external images... ++Lar 14:24, 7 August 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Website URL

I just noticed the WebsiteURL in the club template prepends http:// to the supplied URL. I think this should just display the URL verbatim - the main reason being that some URLs may not begin with http:// (the example of https:// comes to mind immediately). Dunno if this is done elsewhere too. I know it'd mean all current entries would need fixing, not a biggie, I think. ROSCO 23:23, September 8, 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Some crazy group might even have an ftp:// for their internet presence. I'll change it ;) Tim 06:51, 9 September 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

I've changed the template and worked my way down the list stopping just before LEGO World Club. If someone would like to continue this once BW gets a bit faster again I would be most grateful. Tim 15:13, 9 September 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

I changed the template to actually display the URL. It is useful to actually see the string. Tedward 13:26, 10 November 2009 (EST)
