Wikia Waypoint box next to Location

Forums: Index > General Discussion > Wikia Waypoint box next to Location

Looking up locations in Eq2.Wikia is extremely helpful, however I have to highlight the numbers next to Location, and copy then paste in game. That box where your suposed to right click and copy only gives me the select all when i right click. Copy is greyed out. I've tried it on other PC's and seeing the same.
I only discovered what really does when I copied a a section into Word and saw the /waypoint ##,##,##.
Is there a Java setting or Browser option thats preventing me from right click/copy the waypoint thingy?

I will honestly say that I do not know what causes that lovely right-click-and-copy thing to not work. I do know it works for me on Firefox but not for my hubby on Internet Explorer, if that is any help. (Janze is too lazy to log in) 71.234.215.133 17:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

The copy paste option only comes up if the location in the article uses the loc template like


              {{Loc|-1|0|2}}

(-> ( -1, 0, 2 ) /waypoint -1, 0, 2 ), but if the loc is only wrote as


              (-1,0,2)

the copy/paste box doesn't get generated.

So it can be that the loc template is only missing, do you had this effect on all pages or was it only on a few pages?

happens to me too in ie6. the box is there, but right clicking on the box doesnt do a thing. everything but 'select all' is greyed out. doing select all and then ctrl-c works also. thats one of the things why i switched to firefox for using/editing eq2i. it works fine there -- Vraeth 10:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. To answer the question of it happening on all or some pages: All pages. Every Loc does it, and on multiple PC's. Sounds like Firefix is the cure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mindwedgie ( talk • contribs )

I click the waypoint box on the wiki page then ctrl-c to get a copy. Then alt-tab back to eq2 window and hit enter to open text chat and then ctrl-v to paste the /waypoint ##, ##, ## in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.219.227 ( talk • contribs )
