Curse

First off, I'm not sure this is the correct forum, but it appears to be the closest to what I need.

I'm trying to run GWBBCode on a non-forum site (a Wordpress blog to be specific). I'm running into problems, and not sure exactly whats wrong. I'm using GWBBCode version 1.8.2.4 (the release candidate). Here are some screen shots of what I'm doing and what its out-putting.

Code--the blacked-out full path to file I know is correct, and is more than just http://example.com/gwbbcode, its the entire server address. Also, I have a plugin that allows php to be used in posts.

Firefox

IE7

Opera

Firefox, hovering over where monk icon should be

If there's any other information I could include that would help troubleshoot please tell me and I'll do my best to put it up.

As far as I was made aware, GWBBcode only functions in a phpBB or VB environment. I am probably wrong though, so hopefully one of my internet programming flying monkeys shall solve this mystery. The mystery machine is in the shop...

on towards the bottom, it can be used without it being installed, putting that into practice has been harder...

this is out of date, but the principal should still apply:http://gwshack.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=187&highlight=
I've also tried what is suggested here to only receive error messages

I would *like* to think that it is pulling the code, but not the images or descriptions, because doing [pre][[word of healing][/pre] (the double [[ signifies text instead of the image in GWBBCode's syntax) shows the text "Word of Healing" and has the link to the word of healing page on the wiki.

OH! Wait, I am retarded. You have to install the image pack as well, at least as I understand how it works. It needs both the image files as well as the code for functionality (unless they combined them from the last time I looked at the GWbb system. I haven't run a forum for years, much less a GW forum, so I have no idea where the image pack would be.

Thanks! I hadn't thought of that, I'll get right on locating it, but then that leaves the skill information to deal with.
I wonder if installing a forum on the site just to install the code would work. But then I have to work out how to get it to the non-forum pages.

EDIT: Sadly no, upon examining the files the skill images are included in the GWBBCode.
I assume you were talking about the image pack from the official site?

No, it used to have an image file I thought. This isn't my area of expertise (ala my signature as you can tell.. lol)

Sorry, this is outside Rahja's range. A web programming expert is what we need. I must locate and summon one.

if only I could locate my summon web expert scroll....

I think I found my summon web expert scro.... ll... wait, no, that is just Time magazine. Drat... I do believe the lady that might be able to help you is Inde. She is the head admin and owner of this forum. Give her a PM about the issue, and see what she can do (be patient, she is a busy lady)

May seem a silly point, but have you asked Liu Pi himself, via the gwshack forums? He's very approachable, when he's there, and when he's not, there are plenty of savvy people who will help (CorRran springs to mind.)

Yea, =P figured posting on multiple forums would garner faster responses. Thanks for suggesting asking CoRrRan.
