User blog:Chatellerault/Template troubles

So, I've adopted a template for the chapters here, Template:Infobox_Chapter. The template's design was taken from the one for the Zettai Karen Children wiki and modified for this wiki.

Unfortunately, it's not ready for use because no matter what I've tried, I can't seem to get it so the image's size can be adjusted. The image will display at its actual size rather than an edited size. I tried to modify one from the Twelve Kingdoms wiki, which only managed not to display the image. I've looked everywhere and I've tried everything I can think of to modify the image parameters on the template, but no luck. None of the other wiki or the general wikia community seem to have this issue.

At this point, I'm too frustrated to continue - I'm getting angry just from typing "template" as "tempalte" by accident.

I'd be great if someone could figure this out and then we can apply the template onto the chapter pages.

 * Huzzah! I've managed to make it work! It's a little on the big side, but I've fixed the image thing using a template from the Twelve Kingdoms wiki! Weirdly, on the template page there's a floating "|}" tag, but it doesn't appear when the template is in use. It's a bit of a chop and slice of the existing messed up template and parts of the Twelve Kingdoms plant infobox that I borrowed it from.


 * In any case, success! Well, except for the fact that every time it's used, the page using it is going to show up on the template page. Drat. Anyone know how to apply the "noinclude" vs the "includeonly" tags?
