Drug_class field not working

Hello. The "Drug_class" field in Section6 "Chembox Pharmacology" (see Template:Chembox_Pharmacology/doc for documentation) does not seem to be working. The field does not show in the drugbox when filled and instead this text is deposited on the page: "Template:Chembox DrugClass". Hoping for a fix so that this field can be used. Thank you. – 76.174.0.57 (talk) 10:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That support template was deleted last year because editors noted it was not used at that time (maybe no chemical article actually filled out that field, or possible difficulty in diagnosing a complex template suit). It's documented, so it should be supported (or un-documented). And it's useful and usable, so it should be supported. Working on it... DMacks (talk) 13:14, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dark mode support for images

Can we add skin-invert-image to the images in this box or give them a white background?

The chemical formulae are not readable in dark mode e.g. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Borax?vectornightmode=1&useskin=vector-2022 🐸 Jdlrobson (talk) 00:40, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ChEMBL links no longer work

The ChEMBL links in the chembox no longer work. Eg from Chebulinic acid it leads to https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/db/index.php/compound/inspect/ChEMBL501154 which returns a 404 page not found. Wikidata though links are working eg https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/explore/compound/CHEMBL501154 . Can this be fixed please? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that and providing the fix! I updated the links in both chembox and drugbox. DMacks (talk) 08:04, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent dark mode change has some janky results

@Jdlrobson: Is it possible to expand the new dark mode styling you've added to include skin-invert-image? I'm new to CSS and not sure how to best go about that. There are a good number of chemboxes using that class for inverting images, like this Old revision of Ethanol. I'm also not sure what's going on with Methyl pivalate such that that image is not receiving a white background.

If you have some more time, we're making similar edits to Template:Infobox drug and we would welcome your thoughts on the implementation at that discussion, thanks. ― Synpath 20:47, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
