I am going completely insane with this crud. Ok, all these lovely guides but most don't tell you where to insert the code. For example this post tells you where to put the last bit of tooltip code but not the main code for the recruitment box. If I put it into a free-form text/html box here is what I get instead of the first box. If I put the code in either the Custom CSS or Additions to CSS areas, I get an error message about missing elements.

I must have a half-inch of printouts on all the various pieces, widgets, etc and most do not specify where to insert the code. Is there a default? I'm not stupid and I've done CSS and html. I am very close to just forgetting the whole thing. 

Hi Arahila!

After looking at your page it appears that some of the code is missing. You are adding it in the correct place - inside the free form text/HTML widget. But before you paste the code into the editor, you need to switch it into "Raw/Script" mode (link in the upper right). What happens is when you are not in "Raw/Script" mode, the editor tries to clean up your code and reformat it. It sees two script tags and assumes the second one is a mistake and strips it out.

So, all you need to do is paste the code into that same free form text/HTML widget while in "Raw/Script" mode and save it.

Hi Arahila!

Sorry, I didn't realize you had "Full Custom CSS" enabled... so yes, when you have Full Custom CSS enabled, anything you add to the "CSS Additions to Standard" is ignored. So just add the above code to the end of the Full Custom CSS section. CSS Additions to Standard was meant to add CSS to the end of CSS made by the control panel.

As for the recruit by talent script.. the options go inside the function, like this:

recruitByTalent({
 colorBackground: false,
 defaultNeed: "High",
 death knight : "m,m,m",
 warrior : "h,h,h"
});

And from looking at this post, I'm guessing you are adding script you wrote inside of MS Word? *cringe* I'm not 100% sure, but I think you should edit/update your code in a regular text editor. I think MSWord pastes "“" and "”" instead of quotes. So I recommend, just copying the code I have above and pasting that into your editor to see if it works then.

If you are going to paste stuff from MS Word into any forum use the "Paste from Word" button in the editor (it's the 6th one from the left in the top row - with a little W in it).

As for images in the shout box, I'll have to look into it.

My bad... forgot about MS Word...

Thanks for the CSS clarification, that helps a lot.

For now I will create a "bragging box" for images but it would be awesome to be bale to put them in shouts. Wonder if we can link them...will try that and see.

Thanks for the CSS clarification, that helps a lot. I saw the new script, I've been trying to post this message for an hour. Sadly, I have a few more questions (*screams echo through cyberspace*.)

1. Here I am trying to customize the Welcome User box. Your instructions say we can insert <img> so here is what I tried: var prefix = "Greetings" rightArrow = 'http://i144.photobucket.com...; No dice. Do I need it to be like this: var leftArrow = 'http://i201.photobucket.com... - Or do I need the <img src="....."> in there?

2. Is there a line of code to make the text in a single content box bold? I would like the Recruitment Box text to be bold due to the colors not showing up well. (Would it work on the nav and welcome bars too?)

3. Finally, I can't seem to get the spaces between the welcome, banner, nav bar and the page content to be the same. There is a larger space between the banner and nav bar. I am missing something in the CSS...
