Forum:Userbox Template

Is it possible to get userboxes to work on a Wikia site? I've been researching this for over an hour and a half and haven't found an answer. --TrekCaptainUSA 01:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, something just like that. Is there a way to do that with a wiki site?  And if it is possible, how do I get it to work?  Specifically, how do I get custom userboxes to work? --TrekCaptainUSA 02:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Check out w:c:8bittheater:Template:User personal.  04:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I checked it out, it was kinda helpful, but not 100% helpful. What templates do I need to set up (and what is the coding for them) to make those kind of userbox things to work?  Because each time I use one of the things i find online, it doesn't work at all.  --TrekCaptainUSA 18:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you copy the template I showed you word for word onto your wiki, it will work exactly the same. The only thing you might need to change is the example.  If you'd like, give me a link to your wiki and I can do it for you.   18:55, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Master Conjurer, the link is jjwproductions.wikia.com. Feel free to go on there and configure it for me.  I'd greatly appreciate it if you can help out in any way.  --TrekCaptainUSA 18:45, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

You can just copy Template:Userbox from Wikpedia to your wiki and it should work so that you can then make your own user boxes. I've done this with Zeldapedia, so you could even just copy Zeldapedia's template if you want since it has the help included with it.--Richardtalk 19:25, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Coping from wikipedia one must considerate as it has been mention before that wikipedia has tidy extension and we dont, so many times poorly coded templates (even complex ones) in wikipedia can break here --

Thanks much for all the help. :) --TrekCaptainUSA 20:52, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
