Hey CzechOut, Raylan told me to go ahead and reach out to you if I had any issue understanding how to customize the new infoboxes. And I do! I'll try not to bother you too much, but I do want to figure this out, before I go and start considering majoring in CSS or something. Basically, my goal is to change the color of the infobox templates we use over at Astrocity Wiki. I don't want someone else to do it for me, I want to learn! So, my question is: how do I change the color of the infobox template we have? These are our links. We want to change the Character infobox from the light blue we have to the red we're using across the rest of the website but we've had no luck.

had no luck.

In this case what you do is you go:



then do your infobox, then close with

That then triggers the availability of the following class:

.portable-infobox-theme-my-custom-theme

and you would, in your Wikia.css, just go to town on that, but you still have to go in with your browser’s console and figure out what the classes are for each of the elements that make up the box

We're all still trying to get used to the new markups, so if it seems confusing, he says to go ahead and reach out to him and he'll try to break it down. You can also see if the help page is of any use.

Sadly, I have 0 idea what any of these values mean. I'm used to working in BBCode, but that's about it. So what is the "default custom-theme" and "theme source", and what are triggers? (if that is pertinent) I just want to figure this out and become the infobox master, already.



All your help is appreciated!
