:Can you point me to an info box that would be a good design to copy? I need to have this done by the end of the week. It needs to be something that societies can add to their own pages easily, including the details that might reside in the box. Can the box have an image if the society wanted to include one? Did you see the template I created by copy/paste of the one you did for the Historical Records pages? I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted to, but it will do for now. But if you think the info box would be better, then I can experiment with that idea too. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 21:13, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

::Hi Fran, I have put together {{tl|Infobox Societies}} and used it on the page [[Dorset Family History Society]] as an example of what can be done. Additional fields could be added, the order change around if needed. I'm now going to be away for a week, but I will have internet access so will follow-up on comments etc when I am able. That doesn't mean nobody else can edit the template, I'm happy for anybody to help improve it. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 06:49, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

== Templates Combined ==
I'm not sure this is the right way to create the template for the society pages. I've added the society info box template to this content template so the users only have to use one template for the page. Is this the right way to do it, or is there a better way? --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 03:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
== Wrap content around info box ==
With the two templates combined into one, is there a way to wrap the text from the content template around the info box. I've removed the table of contents in this template, but if the societies would like to use the table of contents, we need to design the page so both the TofC and the info box fits nicely on the page and easy enough for society members to create. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 03:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
