Summer
Season
It is summer in the territory of the Coastal Shores Pack. Usually in this season, prey is plentiful, the territory is granted several days of rare sunshine and heat, and the wolves are managing well. However, it can also bring the threat of rejuvenated predators such as bears.
Weather
RAIN STORM

Heavy drops of water are pouring all over the Coastal Shores territory. Black clouds and blinding rain keep most wolves in the den, waiting for it to stop.

Ok, so I am suffering from major jealousy.
Emrys, Delacroix, and Lara all have super-duper awesome post tables (or whatever you call 'em :3), and I would really like to use one as well. I have a very, very watered down basic knowledge of them. Or at least I think I do...

Anyways. I have searched far and wide, and could not find anything of use to me. Either I don't have a clue what they're typing or what I find isn't relevant. So, if someone could help me out with the basics of how to use and make one, that's be awesome! any help is appreciated. Your advice or any links to helpful stuff would make me a happy camper. Thankies. Razz

I see most of them are made with DIV tags. I'm going to try to find a simple DIV generator to help people get started. Honestly I usually franken-code tables (take other people's HTML work and mash it together to make a workable code). I'll look for some stripped down code too.

But table makers, does anyone want to help me make a quick tutorial for the site? Basic tables 101, solid color background, image at top? I know how to manipulate some stuff to make it work, but I have a really hard time coding my own.

I would be happy to make one with you Kivuli <3 I've made a quick and basic tutorial without the extra snazzy stuff awesome coders will create, but it should help you Randy and 'Foot ^^

Here is the simple, unedited code:

Code:
[table width="100%"][tr][td style="background-image:url('Background image here, make sure to leave the quote marks'); color: white;  border: 1px solid white; text-align:left;      -moz-border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;      -webkit-border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;        padding: 10px;"]


Text goes here


[/td][/tr][/table]



Text


You can also remove the solid border by deleting the "border: 1px solid white;" from the code. You can change the "white" to any color you want (obviosuly). The "Solid" can be changed to "dashed" "dotted" "inset" or "outset" to change the border pattern.

Example:



Solid --> Dashed + White --> Hotpink



Where, where it says "padding: 10px" in the code, you can edit the number to change how far from the edge the words go.

I think the "align= "center" " should be pretty obvious, but you can change it to "left" "right" or "justify".

Wher it says "color: white" you can change the color of the text itself. On the top code, I put "background image here but leave the quotations". So lease do exactly that XD



Here's a quickly thrown together table with a BG as an example <3
I hope this helped y'all a bit <3
That's most of what I know XD Any questions?

Lara has got a great tutorial there. All I do is make a header and table and edit a code I use for all my post boxes, and edit it until I get what I want. If you want things like headers on your box, I can show you how to do it with the codes I use, if you'd like. Smile

I'm starting to understand. xD


And yesh, I would love a header. ^^ Thank you all so much for helping out, though. I think I get it al little bit more now, and maybe soon my jealousy can be cured forever (xD).

Okay, I'll try my best. Smile

Here's my header. You'll need to upload it to an image hosting site first, I use Photobucket.

Posty Box Questions and Help PostBoxHeader

Now, to add it to my post box, like this:

Posty Box Questions and Help PostBoxHeader

Hi

I need to add a bit to the code. Here's the code for Lara's box.

Code:
[table width="100%"][tr][td style="background-image:url('http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p555/terryschoccyorange/PostBox.png'); color: white; text-align:left;      -moz-border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;      -webkit-border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;        padding: 10px;"]


Hi


[/td][/tr][/table]

To add the header, I added the [ img ]https://2img.net/h/i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p555/terryschoccyorange/PostBoxHeader.png[ /img ] just after "padding: 10px;"

Code:
[table width="30%"][tr][td style="background-image:url('http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p555/terryschoccyorange/PostBox.png'); color: white; text-align:left;      -moz-border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;      -webkit-border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;        padding: 10px;"][img]Header goes here[/img]


Hi


[/td][/tr][/table]

You also need to change the part that says "table width" to a percentage that fits around your header. 30% fits my header, but you can change the percentage to whatever fits your header best.

Hope this helps. Smile

((Heh, posty-box. I love that! xD poossstty-boxxxxx.))

Still deciding if I should make one for Scarnn. -_- Hm.
I probably won't right now, but once I put my boy in the rp i'll probably get jealous and make one anyway! ^^
