I'm not an admin and I'm the only one editing it. The person who created it ditched it and I went an started there. Do you know how to become an admin besides creating a wiki? New Captain 10:14, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much I will try that :) New Captain 10:48, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re:
It is possible with Image Maps, read here for image maps, it's pretty complex and advanced, I myself find it complicated. -- 13:00, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Image mapping
Hi Wildecoyote. I'll try to make image mapping easier to understand. For it to work, you'll need the measurements for each section of the image that you want to link out. Those measurements are the x and y coordinates (meaasured in pixels) for the top left corner and bottom right corner. Here's how I get those coordinates using Photoshop (if you don't have it, GIMP is a good, free alternative). First, I draw a box around the part of the image, as seen here (I also drew red circles are around the top left and bottom right corners). Next, I use the square selection tool and draw a selection box from the top left corner of the entire image to the top left corner of the box around the featured part of the image. Then I copy it and select open new document, which pops up a new window with the width and height (and other info) about the new document being created (see this screenshot). The numbers for the width and height are the first two numbers you need for the image map. Now repeat that previous step, but draw the selection box down to the bottom right corner of the featured part of the image (see this screenshot). That width and height are the last two numbers you need. So the image map code for that part of the image will look like this: Then just repeat that process if you want multiple sections of the same image to link out, and add a new "rect ### ### ### ### PageName " line. Hope that helps. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  17:06, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Joe

I will give it a try. Will download GIMP first tho. (you did get the square right tho) --


 * Assuming you wanted to image map the two highlighted parts of that image (Pioneer Trail and Homestead), I just edited the coordinates. I didn't know about that website listed in the source code. I tried it out, and it's really easy to use. I drew a box around the two parts of the image to be mapped, and it gave me the coordinates. (screenshot) I then copy/pasted those coordinates to the wiki, and done. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  00:15, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you want an even easier way to imagemap, do what we do over at the OgreLair.org chapter portal.
 * Upload the image you wish to use
 * Visit this link right here
 * Get the raw url for the recently uploaded image, for example: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110929232038/central/images/e/ee/Expanded_wiki_nav_Slider.png (you get this by clicking on the image when you're on it's file page)
 * Paste that raw url into the box that says URL
 * In the box that says Name, put just the uploaded file name. (Using the above example - Expanded_wiki_nav_Slider.png
 * Click Load
 * Then you can click on the part of the image you want to use to link. You can create rectangular or circular clickable areas, and it automatically asks for the page link (i.e. Main Page) and what you want the scroll over text to read (i.e. Back to Main Page).
 * Copy the imagemap code it gives below, and wala! Done.


 * I promise, do it once and it becomes super easy! 00:30, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * To answer your question, first - choose whether you want a rectangle or a circle. (You can also do polygon, but that gets a little more complicated so wait on that). For rectangle, you select rectangle and then click the upper left corner of where you want the clickable area to begin with your left mouse, then move to the lower right where you want the area to end and click with your right. For a circle, you just click once in the center of the clickable area you're wishing to create. Then, two boxes appear below the image. In the "Link" box, you type in the name of the page you want to link to, just as if you were on your home wiki. So if you're wanting to link to Main Page, you just type Main Page (no brackets like in wikicode). Below that is a box that says "Title" and this creates the text that will display when a user mouses over the clickable area. So you can make it say "Back to Main Page" for instance.
 * I hope this answers your question. I promise it is way easier than I'm making it sound. I suck at giving directions. 01:19, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see now. That is simple. Once you finish your first link, just go back and click rectangle or circle again, and when you click wherever you want for the next link area - it clears out the boxes below and keeps the info for the first link in the code field at the bottom. You can keep doing that as many times as you want for as many links as you want. 01:37, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
