Userpage Tutorial

WANT TO HAVE A COOL AWSOME USERPAGE?
THEN THIS IS THE GUIDE FOR YOU!

A cool way to welcome people to your userpage is a pop alert!

Code:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">alert("TEXT")</SCRIPT>

Just replace where it says "TEXT" with what you want it to say if you want more then one just place the another code under it with the the text you want on that and so on.
Note, if too many alert boxes pop up, it is really, REALLY annoying, and could get your page deleted or worse. -rcv
(Thanks rvc!)

A cool code is to make text move to the left! Just put your message or whatever where it says "place text here!"

Code:

<marquee>Place Text here!</marquee>

One of my favorites is the glow text! All you have to change the colors like instead of blue you can have;Red, Dark Red, Purple, etc.

Code:

<p align=center><table><tr><td style="filter:glow(color=blue strength=5);font-family:arial;font-weight: BOLD;font-size:'18pt'">Text</td></tr></table></p>

A nice way to have a header for your Userpage is to have this code!

Code:

Normaly you put welcome here

                    <HR>

And a message here!

Want Picture tiles as your background? Then do this code!

Code:

<table border=0 background="image link" width=100%>

<tr><td> 

ENTIRE USERPAGE CONTENT HERE 

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

If you want music in it do this code

Code:

<embed src="yourfile.mid" height="45" width="300" autostart="true" loop="true">

Want to have your favorite music video on your userpage?
Then do this!

Code:

<embed src="yourfile.mpeg" width="100%" height="60" align="center">

(Or if it is on youtube just copy and paste the top url under the description and avatar)

You want Games? You got games!

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="650" height="440">

More coming soon!

I need to mention that pages taht the mods find annoying may be edited or deleted without notice.

THe mods need to check every userpage. Put yourself in that position, before sticking fifty alert boxes on your page.

(Cap'n) Kid(d) Bugs

thx for the info can't wait for more!

-rcv- who would put 50 alert boxes? (not looking for titles) lol i mean WOW 1 or to should seem efficent lol.

~Cpt.Sea

Thanks for putting this tutorial together!

I suppose this is nice, but most of this can be found in the Wiki guide for making usepages. I can post a link if you want.

I just have one question on this. Where in our UP do we put this code? Or does it matter? It will just go away one we put the code in and save right? Thank ye for who ever answers these questions!

When you click save, if something is in < and >'s (for example, <A CODE>), the thing you type will still be in the edit userpage box, but the outcome of the code will appear on the main userpage.

Of course, if the actual text with < and >'s is showing up on the main userpage, then you've either typed the code incorrectly or you've missed one of the < or >'s.

Hi I have another question. What is the correct code for putting the "Click Here" thing on a bottom of a signature that leads to a userpage i thought i knew it but it didn't work out.

thx,
~Cpt.Sea

~Cpt.Sea

If you have a userpage here on POF, you can use the various code examples on your userpage. (simply insert them into the page)

Depending on the code your using, it will require to you to change the "Text" portion to say what you wish, or the "image" portion to be the web address (aka URL) to the image you wish implemented.

um... i dont get it ekb... so how do you get it to be something like:

(sig image)
pm me / visit my userpage/

at the bottom of your sig or visit my userpage click the sig! i didnt get it. O_o like how do you have the text and not say... www. piratesonlineforums .com/sammyh/userpage/ or something?

Sammy, have you tried looking at the BBCode help guide?

In the forums here, bottom left corner where it says "BB Code is on" you can click for a reference page to the commands, and it gives examples.

Here is the link: BB Code Help

How did I do that ^^^^^^ ?
I typed this:

[url=http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode]BB Code Help[/url]

Legend:
BB Code Tag
Target URL
Displayed Link Title

To answer your question more precisely... your sig code would look something like this:

[CENTER]
[img]yoursig.png[/img]
[url=<url#1>]URL Title 1[/url] - [url=<url#2>]URL Title 2[/url] - [url=<url#3>]URL Title 3[/url]
[/CENTER]

thanks zeppers! :) ok i will try.

Nice thread. More helpful than mine. Glad to see that XD

EKB giving advice that is..... useful? and ......... true? and without a sacastic/evil comment? boy, the world HAS ended.

this info is useful to me too, wonder why I didn't ask.

I'm trying to set up my userpage...Mine is the same as Sams

Code:

<embed src="yourfile.mid" height="45" width="300" autostart="true" loop="true">

Would it be more like:

Code:

<embed src="YOUR SONG URL.mid" height="45" width="300" autostart="true" loop="true">

?

Thats the thing that has me stuck right now..how to add music

Andrew, yes, put the entire URL to your midi within the quotes for the "src" atrribute just as you have it there. That should be all you need to get a midi playing.

You will need to upload your mid/wav/mp3 (music file) to a file host, perhaps fileave.com or another approved file hosting site.

Details, details! Zep, you always get me on the details. :xtongue:

Cool :) nice tutorial
