Your EQ2 ZAM, now with copy buttons!Follow

We've asked for a copy button like Those Other Guys have on their waypoints for a while. Things finally chilled to the point where our devs were able to do it, and it's enabled! Not even right-click-and-copy, just click!

To put this in a record, use the LOC template: template:eq2 loc. It'll look like this: {{eq2 loc|123, 45, 678}}. The rest is automagical.

Ack. Not much I can do about that. The in-game browser is some custom adaption. This works with Fire Fox, Chrome, and IE for sure...

If they do that's cool, if not it's no big deal. I always have my FF open while in game anyway, but that's the only use I have for the in game browser is to keep the zam quest guide open.

I'm just tickled by the number of people editing the records to get the button in there. The loc template might not be there because a) up to now it was just formatting, b) we ran through the new SF content darn fast to get guides in, and c) there's some old guides we've just never needed to go back to that predate the wiki.

Here's some tricks you can make the loc template do:

* Add a link to EQ2 Maps: |uid= It looks like this: {{Eq2 loc|123, 45, 678|uid=123}} and puts a little map button on it after the copy button. If you don't like the little map button, put |verbose=y in and it makes a text link to Maps.

* Add parentheses around the loc: |paren=y It looks like this: {{eq2 loc|123, 45, 687|paren=y}}.

* Skip the middle coordinate: You'll find this in old guides a lot. We'd prefer that you add the missing coordinate if you have it, but just leave it out and the wiki will slap a 0 in the middle.

Another thing: The loc uses comma separation, so if you use a comma or dot in the numeral it messes it up. So use 1234 instead of 1,234 or 1.234. If you see an loc hopelessly screwed up, hit edit and look, often someone's left a comma where it shouldn't be.

Thanks, y'all are great!!

OK, help please? lol, perhaps I'm jus dense, but this doesnt seem to work for me. I use firefox, constantly open on a 2nd screen. When I click the button, nothing happens.....
What am I doing wrong?

Thats what I was missing... Thanks...

I actually had to make a /waypoint macro, so I can hit it and paste in the numbers. I always type in /waypoint and hit enter, which.... doesn't work.
