Is there any way to add the Welcome Block Module to the left column?

Or other modules?

Thanks

I love this mod, had it installed in 3.5 and it worked perfectly. I realize it's unsupported, but I'm hoping someone can offer some help with some alignment issues I seem to be suffering. I just have no idea what is going on. (Please note that I purposely changed the bottom position so that the side column stops before the "what's going on" box rather than the footer.)

Thanks.

Great mod, is it possible to have it on the right side?

[ReaperUK]

this would be perfect it it was on every page

[iBaker]

I am testing this on 3.7 BETA 4 and all looks ok

One thing that some others have said about putting this on all pages - don't know about your individual forums but I have placed the code:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="160px">
<table class="tborder" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" width="100%" align="center">
$forumhome_sidecolumn_left
</table>
</td>
<td width="10px"></td>
<td valign="top">at the bottom of the navbar template

and this code:

</td>
</tr>
</table>at the very top of the footer template and the side column is on every page of the site.

I'm trying to use the $totalonline thing to show the total number of people on and it doesn't display anything. Is there something special I have to do to get that to work?

[49er]

Hello. i have this code to show down the left side but the counts do not show? :erm:

<td class="alt1"><span class="smallfont">
Forum Members: $numbermembers<br />
Total Threads: $totalthreads<br />
Posts: $totalposts<br />

How do i get them to show? :confused:

Thanks

[Yalan]

[dmknights]

[john h]

[bollie]

When i add the second block, it goes next to the first block but not under it on IE. However on Firefox it all looks okay. Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

Heres my code:
