Create your own Recruitment Block

Last Updated: Apr 24, 2012 05:34AM EDT
While we do have an official Recruitment block you can add to your site from the Site Admin -> Layout tab, sometimes you want something more customized.  If that is the case, fortunately this is very easy =)

To get started, you would add a Text block to your site from the Site Admin -> Layout tab and set the block title to "Recruitment".  Then to create some basic content, using WoW as an example you could add:

Death Knight [right]Open[/right]
Druid [right]Open[/right]
Hunter [right]Closed[/right]
Mage [right]Closed[/right]
Paladin [right]Open[/right]


Which will give you a block which looks like this:



Pretty easy, right? =)  And as you can see, this is pretty similar to our recruitment block; to update the recruitment status then, you would simply edit the block and change the Open or Closed text for different classes.

Now for a more advanced example, say you want to add icons for the classes, and color the Closed text red:

[img]http://static-assets.shivtr.com/assets/game_data/wow_icons/classes/7.gif[/img] Shaman [right][color=red]Closed[/color][/right]
[img]http://static-assets.shivtr.com/assets/game_data/wow_icons/classes/9.gif[/img] Warlock [right]Open[/right]
[img]http://static-assets.shivtr.com/assets/game_data/wow_icons/classes/1.gif[/img] Warrior [right]Open[/right]


Which gives you our final result:




And you're done!  Hopefully this shows creating your own recruitment block is pretty easy, with just a bit of Shivtr's BBcode =)
