Userbox

I might be able of assistance regarding user boxes. What kind of user boxes did you have in mind? --g0urra[T҂C] 12:15, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Making userboxes

It's simple to make a userbox - all you need is to insert the text, image, and colors you want in a {{userbox}}-template.

The hard part is to find the codes for the colors, and the the names for the images.

• To find the name of an image, you can either click on an image in WoWpedia (such as this) or in a WoW-database like Wowhead. For example, the name for is "File:Inv staff 14.png", and in order to make it appear like this you type [[File:inv_staff_14.png|18px]]. The name on wowhead will not include the "file:" and ".png" parts of the name (because those are used by WoWpedia), so be sure to include this when making a userbox! Here's an example of what I mean. When adding an image, remember to give it the proper size. You can do this by adding "|NUMBERpx", such as [[File:inv_staff_14.png|18px]] which places an image in 18 pixels. Images in userboxes usually need 50. For a list of images suitable for userboxes, see Category:WoW Icons and its subcategories.
• When applying colors to a userbox, you'll generally do so in three ways: "bcolor" applies color to the frame around the userbox, "color" applies color to the text, and "mainbg" applies color to the background. A color is applied by adding it as a code. For instance, the color called "apple green" has the code "#8DB600". You can see how colors are applied in the example below. A fourth way to add a color to a text by adding it as a code like this: <font color="32CD32">Text</font>. This' will create Text. Some colors can be written by name instead of code, such as "Yellow". Here is a list of colors and their codes. Remember how colors affect each other - a color may turn out completely different than what you had expected when adding it together with other colors in a userbox!
• For other stuff you can use when making userboxes, such as links, bold text, etc., see Help:Editing.

Here is an example of what you can type in order to make a userbox. To make your own, simply copy-paste it and fill in your own informaton like I've told how to do.

{{Userbox
|lcontent=[[File:spell_frost_arcticwinds.png|50px]]
|content=This user is having the chill of <font color="000080">'''DEATHFROST'''</font> on his/her talkpage.
|bcolor=#00008B
|color=#00009C
|mainbg=#08E8DE
}}

This is the userbox the example above will make:

This user is having the chill of DEATHFROST on his/her talkpage.

If you're still wondering something, just ask! WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 07:42, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

"YEAH.I nedd help.What would the pixel sizes be for the pictures if there were 6 of them??Cause they aren't showing up on the userbox.And do you know a userbox for having all achievements?" - Itsuki624 (28 January 2011) on WrathOfDeathfrost's talkpage.

Well, if an image isn't showing up it could mean it's too big, which means you only have to lower the number of pixels until it does. This is easy - just type in a lower number, such as [[File:spell_frost_arcticwinds.png|30px]] instead of [[File:spell_frost_arcticwinds.png|50px]] and click "preview" to see how it turns out. However, I'm a little confused about what you're asking. Are you trying to add multiple images into the same userbox?

Unfortunately I don't know about any userboxes for "all achievements". Frankly, I highly doubt it's even possible to complete every achievement in the game, if that's what you mean. In any case, you can find lists of several usrboxes which may or may not include what you're looking for here, here and here. Of course, it it doesn't exist you could easily make it yourself.

More about userboxes

"Yeah,I was trying to add 6 pics to 1 Userbox.No big deal,right?I'v seen a Userbox,and use it,with 12 of them.And another with just 10.And I guess you'll see what I meant about the "All Achievements" Thing when you next check out my page." - Itsuki624 (29 January 2011) on WrathOfDeathfrost's talkpage.

Right, I see what you mean now. I tested a bit, and here are the results:

• It's simple to add several images into the same userbox. All you have to do is adding the names for the images together and arrange them with the proper pixel size and <br> which causes something to jump down a line.
• To create two "image spots" (locations in the userbox where you'll be having images), you can simply add |rcontent= to the list of contents. |rcontent= means "right content" and |lcontent= means "left content". I noticed that the "all"-userboxes use this.
• You can add colors to an image spot by adding |lbg and |rbg ("right background color" and "left background color"). This is nifty when adding several images in the same userbox, and was also used by the "all"-userboxes.

Here are some examples. Notice how I've used <br> and pixel sizes.

{{Userbox
|lcontent=[[File:inv_misc_bone_elfskull_01.png|24px]][[File:inv_misc_bone_taurenskull_01.png|24px]]<br>[[File:inv_misc_bone_orcskull_01.png|24px]][[File:inv_misc_bone_humanskull_02.png|24px]]
|content=Four skulls.
|bcolor=#696969
|color=#DCDCDC
|mainbg=#534B4F
}}
...will create:

Four skulls.

{{Userbox
|lcontent=<font color="00DDDD">X</font>
|content=No image, just a color including an "X" with the same color.
|bcolor=#66FF00
|color=#FE6F5E
|mainbg=#333399
|lbg=#00DDDD
}}
...will create:

X	No image, just a color including an "X" with the same color.

{{Userbox
|lcontent=[[File:inv_misc_ribbon_01.png|16px]][[File:achievement_bg_captureflag_wsg.png|16px]][[File:spell_holy_championsbond.png|16px]]<br>[[File:achievement_reputation_01.png|16px]][[File:achievement_boss_ragnaros.png|16px]][[File:achievement_halloween_ghost_01.png|16px]]<br>[[File:inv_misc_coin_02.png|16px]][[File:inv_misc_book_04.png|16px]][[File:achievement_quests_completed_01.png|16px]]

|bcolor=#FF0800
|color=#000000
|mainbg=#FFBF00
|lbg=#000000
|rbg=#000000
}}
...will create:

This user is going for all types of achievements!

I hope all this can help you! WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 23:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: Improved the last userbox by adding a link to "achievement" in it, in case someone would use it. WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 14:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
