How can I add a custom script?

Hello,

I recently created a website (Zenithar.info) using Wordpress and the Simple:press plugin. I love it so far. I pretty much have it all set up and am now working on finer details, such as this, which I'm having issues figuring out exactly how to implement this.

I basically want to add a custom script to my forums so that users of the forums can, by using special bbcode and/or html tags, add what are called tooltips to their forum posts. The code is already provided, but the instructions are assuming that one is using a more traditional website, thus doesn't make a whole lot of sense on how to implement in my case.

The code/instructions can be found here: http://www.esohead.com/tooltips

To save me spending a lot of time ploughing their website can you give me a brief overview of how this is supposed to work? Is this just a display thing? Are the 'codes' meant to be entered manually into posts? Can I see an example somewhere?

Seems I figured it out! There was no tutorial on the esohead website, but there was a similar one I found on wowhead.com on how to get the wowhead version of this script to work on Wordpress. I was initially afraid that doing so wouldn't carry over to Simple:press, but it did!

 

For future reference, this is what I did: http://www.wowhead.com/forums&.....952#p42952

 

Thankfully both of these script variants (esohead vs wowhead) are written and maintained by the same people, so it works out. ESOHead is just a much newer website and still lacks the community support, which is why I was initially confused.

 

Here is the script in action: http://www.zenithar.info/forum.....d-tips/#p4

Ooh - nice. I like it. Might be able to make use of that myself...!

Glad you got it working and thanks for the information and for the thread update.
