New Website

[Leopardstar]

Hi guys
I am in the midst of making a new warriors website based on the earlier clans eg: Lionclan, Pantherclan, Leopardclan and Tigerclan but i need some help with the codes.
If you have any codes that you think will help please post them here or PM me.
Thanks
Leopardstar xx

PS:the codes i need help with @ the mo are the news board (most important). I will post more up as i need them.
Thanks again ;D

PPS: I will tell you guys the website when its almost finished ;D

[Leopardstar]

ANYONE? i would really appreciate your help! XD

[risingdusk]

What do you mean by the news board? The info bit up the top or whaaat? =)

[Leopardstar]

Yeah the info bit! ;D

[risingdusk]

Oh fair do's. I can get you the code for a three column board but you'll have to do all the words and stuff yourself, you ain't nicking ours! xD

Here's the code for the board, the bits in red are the bits to change, don't change anything else or it wont work:

<table align="center" border="0" width="92%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="bordercolor">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="titlebg" align="center" colspan="3">
<font color="000000" size="2">
<b>TABLE TITLE GOES HERE</font></b>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20%" valign="top" class="windowbg">
<center><b><u>HIGH POSITION INFO GOES HERE</u></b>
<br>
<br><b>FIRST CLAN NAME:</b> <i></i>
<br><font size=2>Leader: Open
<br>Deputy: Open
<br>Medicine Cat: Open </font>
<br>
<br><b>SECOND CLAN NAME:</b> <i></i>
<br><font size=2>Leader: Open
<br>Deputy: Open
<br>Medicine Cat: Open</font>


</td>
<td width="60%" class="windowbg2" valign="top">
<center>
<br><b>HEADER NAME FOR MAIN COLUMN</b>
<br>
ALL YOUR BASIC INFORMATION ETC PLUS NEWS AND EVENTS
<br>
</td>
<td width="20%" valign="top" class="windowbg">
<center><b><u>HIGH POSITION INFO#2 GOES HERE</u></b>
<br>
<br><b>THIRD CLAN NAME:</b> <i></i>
<br><font size=2>Leader: Open
<br>Deputy: Open
<br>Medicine Cat: Open</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><b>FOURTH CLAN NAME:</b> <i></i>
<br><font size=2>Leader: Open
<br>Deputy: Open
<br>Medicine Cat: Open
</font>
<br>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

[Leopardstar]

[Ebonstar]

Thanks. Where Do We Post It?

[risingdusk]

Oh pants, forgot to say xD

Post it in the header of the board you want it to appear in. On this site it's the header of the Character Applications board for example. =)

[Leopardstar]

Thanks!!! ^^ ;D

[Ebonstar]

I was wondering if there was any problem with me using the descriptions on this site as a basis for my own. I don't want to seem to be stealing them . . .

[risingdusk]

Hmm.

You can take the basics out and use those I suppose, just change a couple of the details around and make it look different.

Or you could take the whole thing and give us credit for it and put a majorly big link next to it to direct people here.. =) It's not so hard to make up descriptions for camps and territories. I made most of these up myself, just based off of the few notes Kakashi had written and what you think the territory would look like.

Just be creative. Maybe look around some other Warriors sites and take a little bit of 'inspiration' from each of them

[Ebonstar]

Cool as, thanks. I'll put a link somewhere for this site anyway but it's good to know that I have at least one 'official' source of inspiration lol ;D

[Ebonstar]

Is there possibly a basic header for the clan thingies?

[risingdusk]

Please elaborate. =)

[Ebonstar]

The headers that you see when you first go in to a main clan board. Where you put the clan stats.
