Custom ModDB page? Thread

Hello!I want to edit my mod page to something like this or this.
But for some reason I can't get it to work, and everything stays contained in my description.
Is there any external editor for this?And if there is any other option, could someone give me an example of how HTML coding on ModDB works?
Sorry if this something easy, or mentioned before on this forum but Google wasnt really a big help.
Thanks in advance :-).

Hi TehBoxNoob,
seems to me, that games/mods like Black Mesa and Minecraft have a special arrangement to adjust the global CSS of their pages. Here is a good tutorial for doing it at least inside your posts: Moddb.com

The second page is a bit tricky: all the outlining/custom images are coded in the blog-post (the description does not parse the code) and adjusted with absolute positions, for example:

<div style="z-index: 1; position: absolute; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; top: 190px; right: 950px;">
<span style="color: #ffffff;">
<img src="https://media.indiedb.com/images/members/1/926/925114/images.jpg" alt="" />
</span>
</div>

This code generates a copy of your avatar on the left side.

It's easy to do it with a WYSIWYG-editor like Opera Dragonfly (the one I use), but this one is integrated into the Opera browser, maybe someone else knows a stand-alone editor.

I'm gonna try that.Thanks .
EDIT:How do I inject my style into it?I keep getting HTML text under my description header.

the first is done by overwriting the css-style with some sort of "style-injection" in the game's description, for example:

<style type="text/css">
.container {
	background: url("https://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/7/6885/obm_bg_header.png") repeat-x top center;
}
</style>

Here is a better tutorial: Moddb.com
I updated my thread above, it looks like the CSS-overwrite is not possible that way.

One last question:
How do I change this? It stays the same, atleast for me then :/.
Thanks for the link to the "How to ModDB page", those codes really helped .

The #body on this page is overwritten (CSS). I thought at first that you can simply inject them like the image code (also because their CSS code is not in a separate file, but in the page itself), but it looks like they have a special arrangement with Desura. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

Alright then, thanks for the information .
