this is my first time making a totally 'custom' layout, ive got everything done, i am using premade pet profile coding and cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the spotlight actually show up. if anyone could tell me what to change in the code thatd be awesome! (currently it is the little bordered box at the bottom left of the DIV).

Also, if im supposed to have something included in the profile that i dont have, please let me know, im pretty new to subeta and i dont want to get in trouble for not including something necessary to the layout.

i didnt change anything except that it was dashed, now its solid.

Edit: Totally forgot to add the link for the profile in question. you can see it here.

You need to enable the spotlight on your pet page in the category spotlight and you can't actually see it yourself when your pet is not nominated so you can't nominate it yourself^^ I would suggest looking at the page in another browser to check how the spotlight looks c:

thanks for the reply! awesome, i thought it was just broken due to my error or something. ill try checking it out while not logged in (assuming i can see it when not logged in) to see what it actually looks like on the layout. im not finished with the layout yet, ive seen some pretty cool tricks today that im going to try to impliment.

Like making the spotlight and treasure spots be in one of those spiffy little 'drop boxes' that open when you hover over them!

to make the nomination link show up, you have to go to this page and click the button in the 'yes' column for that pet. looking at your profile, it looks like you either haven't enabled the nomination link, or it is layered behind something else. if it's the latter, then you could try adjusting the z-index of the spotlight div until it shows up.

.pet_spotlight {z-index:5;}

thanks for the page link, i just enabled the spotlight, so hopefully it works now! :)

yes, it's showing up fine now.

yay! thanks so much! could you tell me if its showing up on the bottom left of the DIV as the 'box' for the trophy was? (sorry im new here lol)

yep, it's in the little white box.

oh good! thanks again for your help!

no problem, feel free to ask me if you have any other coding questions :)

well, im currently trying to learn transitions, assuming thats the term for it, ive noticed on lots of past spotlight winners they have those cool little 'tabs' that pop out from behind their DIV, usually has their treasure and or minions on it, so im blindly trying to learn that at the moment, lol
