Template:EAC guides

From Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase

Usage

This template displays a sidebar table of Exact Audio Copy guides and categorizes the page accordingly. It should be placed at the top of the page, before any other content, to ensure the guide table appears in the correct position.

What It Does

  • Displays a floating table of EAC-related guide links.
  • Automatically adds the page to Category:EAC Guides.
  • Optionally adds the page to Category:EAC External Compression Guides for external encoder-related guides if the second parameter ("encoder") is set.
  • Optionally excludes the page from Category:EAC Guides if the third parameter ("noeacguides") is set.
  • Optionally sorts the page within added categories using the first parameter ("sort").
  • Automatically excludes the page titled Exact Audio Copy from all categorization.

Named Parameters

  • sort (first parameter) - Sets the sort key used in both categories.
  • encoder (second parameter) - If set (e.g., "yes"), adds the page to Category:EAC External Compression Guides.
  • noeacguides (third parameter) - If set (e.g., "yes"), prevents the page from being added to Category:EAC Guides.
  • hidden - If set (e.g., "yes"), the guide table will be excluded.

Syntax

You can use either named or positional parameters (see table below):

{{EAC guides|sortkey|yes}} Displays the guide table and adds the page to Category:EAC Guides and Category:EAC External Compression Guides with sort key "sortkey"
