aia Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Right, so, my old account got unfairly frozen and I gave up on the site for a while. Now, I'm back, and I really need some help at customizing my lookup, petpages and gallery. I can handle the basics of HTML and CSS, but I am unable to make codes from scratch, which is why I am asking for help. Below are the details of what I'm looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated. ^_^ I will leave your credits even if I edit the graphics, no worries. User Lookup: I'm bad at modifying lookups and such, so this would have to be the one with which I'd need the most help. I would like a user lookup with a royal gelert / royalty theme, with those separated sections that I've seen a few people doing lately. Something like this would be absolutely amazing. I'd like that the colours of the lookup match the colours of both royal girl and royal boy gelert (sorry, I know how difficult it is to make pink, green, purple and gold look good mixed together. :(). I would love you forever if you could pick a nice font and write my name "Amalia" on top and maybe place a crown above it or something. But oh well, beggars aren't choosers. Let's hope that whoever is willing to help me out understands more or less what I'm looking for. Please do not use an image of any neopet unless it is a royal gelert! Pet Page(s): Right, so, I'm a bit better with pet pages. If you get me a basic code and a few pictures of what I want, I can edit it to my liking. I was thinking of a petpage for my royal girl gelert, and one for my royal boy gelert. For now they're just yellow gelerts, but they are to be painted soon. Well, I saw a pet page once which I found absolutely amazing - it had a navigation which was actually on the picture and the picture was "mapped" by a java-related CSS code which allowed you to click something on it and access another section of it, which appeared on the box. It wasn't your usual division, though. You clicked, and the stuff appeared, and when you clicked another link the text was fully substituted by another. I don't know if I am good enough at explaining this. Urgh. o_O Anyways, I would like one of these, if any of you understood what I meant, for each of my gelerts. As for the links, I guess that maybe you could get to the new text sections by clicking on words on the picture, or maybe royal-gelert-related items? Oh well. Leave that part to me. All I want is for someone to code the basic thing for me, and make the page with a banner on the top where I can add a picture of either of them, and the name. So, something of about 800px x 500 px should do for the banner. Feel free to leave the colour picking and such to me, as I will have to come up with two different colour schemes (one for him and one for her). Just making the map work and indicating on a temporary picture where I should put the links to the different sections would do. :yes: Gallery Layout: What I want for my gallery layout is pretty much the same as for the lookup, only it's for a gallery, needless say. Hehe. Anything unique and cute themed about royal gelerts or royalty (please no images of any neopets BUT royal gelerts!). Anything will do, really. ;) It's a gelert gallery, by the way. It would be nice if it would say "Gelert Galore" on the top, but that's pretty much up to you. :P I would like to thank anyone who is willing to help me out with either of these even before you start, just for having the generosity of taking your time to help me out. (: May your life be filled with gelert happiness~! Anxiously awaiting responses, Amalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_ann89 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I might be able to do the UL for you but it might take me a while and I can't start on it until next week (I'm in college summer finals right now x_x ). It took me a couple of weeks to finish my UL -- click here to see it and decide if my style is worthy. :D Anywaysss... I need to freshen up on my CSS skills, so making a UL for someone would be a good opportunity for me to do so. To make your lookup, though, I'd have to know what sections you want to have hidden, if you want any images' sizes changed, what default links you want removed/kept (like the navigation bar or the footer links), and if you want a shield. The more you want added or removed, the more coding it's gonna take, so keep that in mind! Moving the sections around uses up some coding space, too. Other specific things... like a particular font that you like, if you want the background light or dark, if you want the modules (the sections where the info goes) to be a particular color... Or if you just want me to figure out these things with my own artsyness. For the Royal Gelerts I've found some good sites that show all kinds of images to work with, but I'll probably end up drawing them myself because I can't find any images that are large enough or good enough quality. I don't do Anthro and if you want to see my drawing skills you can check out my deviantart gallery. I don't really have any good Neopets art examples besides my UL. I try to be online at Neopets daily so you can Neomail me, or pm me here. :) Whichever works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 chelsea_ann89: That lookup is SO cool =o I really wish I was good with html and css like everyone else so I could make my own since I REALLY want to :) If you don't mind me asking, did you have a source that you learned all that from? I want to try and make a Mystery Island theme, but like how YOU did it =3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_ann89 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 For all my CSS questions I mostly used Kitty's CSS. But I also googled some CSS help sites for removing/changing things. I think I used Sunnyneo a lot; theirs has all the quick-fix things. For my images I used Gimp... I would have used PS but my dad is a *insert insult here* and he deleted it from my computer, and I don't have a hard copy!!! :grrr: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for offering to help! :* I saw your art too, by the way, and I think it's absolutely stunning. ^_^ Fonts? Well, I like things nice and simple. Verdana is a font that I /love/. I don't tend to like georgia much, unless it really matches the rest. As for arial, I'm not too sure... I don't think I know any more fonts that neopets allows us to use. :eh: I prefer lighter backgrounds, but really, that's up to you. Cute patterns are loved. As for the sections, I'd like them to be: Navigation, my basic stats (name, hobbies, etc), other stats (avatar count and such), gallery / shop, and pets. ^_^ It would be great if I could also have a place where I could write some text about myself. :king: Thank you so much!

Verdana is probably what I am going to use, and I'm thinking about making the background argyle. Would you like for there to be sections for a Neohome and Trophies?

aia Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Still need help with gallery layout and pet page(s). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Still need help with gallery layout and pet page(s). :) Just visit W3schools. They have loads of tutorials/step by step guides on how to create your own html/css. :D For all my CSS questions I mostly used Kitty's CSS. But I also googled some CSS help sites for removing/changing things. I think I used Sunnyneo a lot; theirs has all the quick-fix things. For my images I used Gimp... I would have used PS but my dad is a *insert insult here* and he deleted it from my computer, and I don't have a hard copy!!! :grrr: EXTRA: Visit html dog if you'd like step by step tutorials on html/css. They're pretty simple to follow. I've tried Kitty's CSS, but I got confused sometimes, and ended up lost T_T (was a total dummy XD). For images, Gimp is pretty simple to use, and it's free too :). It's just not as widely known as PS. But sometimes, it may be even simplier/easier to understand than PS.

aia Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Do those pages teach how to make those awesome pet pages with links in the pictures like I described? :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 No, they won't directly. Petpages are about the most versitle mediums for code so if you know what you want to do it then its possible ;) Its just a matter of knowing the codes yourself and being able to problem-solve what needs to be done! Presumably since most of those pages are off-Neopets, they'd say to do something like what you are asking with iFrames which don't work on Neo anyway. The petpages you want are done with divs, page anchors and overflow:hidden CSS, in lieu of being able to use iFrames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a friend about it, and she's gonna help me out with the petpage coding. :D So I think that I'm just missing the gallery layout, now. ^_^ I got my userlookup made by the amazing Chelsea. Thank you so much! :* I'll put it up asap! ^_^ For now it's up on my side, amalia94. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
