Sorry, there was an error in the instructions.

In your FORUMHOME template

FIND

$sidecolumn

REPLACE WITH

$forumhome_sidecolumn_right

[peterska2]

can this change to left?

The left side version can be found here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117988)

[Neal-UK]

Many thanks. Just to let you know, the older install.txt and product are in the zip also.

[peterska2]

I've updated the zip, so the details are correct(I just didn't change the date on the install instructions)

i experienced a mysql error after i uninstalled and reinstalled this hack.here's the error message.

This modification has been written for 3.6.0 and will NOT work in 3.5.4

[thenetbox]

hello :) works great! Thank you :)

How can I make it wider? like forums should be around 80% and this should be about 20%?

[peterska2]

You can adjust the width by changing the 160px in this section of the code to your requirements

<!-- peterska2 side column -->
</td>
<td width="10px"></td>
<td valign="top" width="160px">

[thenetbox]

Thank you very much :)

[thenetbox]

One more small teeny weeny question. I copied the "What's going on" code section from FORUMHOME and pasted it in the side column but it doesn't show any of the dynamic areas like usernames. Is there something simple that can be added so that it could be passed those values? :)

[thenetbox]

one more question. Do you know if it is possible to easily add latest threads, birthdays and who's online on to the side bar? thanks

[Renmiri]

sweet!

will install asap, thanks!

Ooopsie!

:( 3.5.4 here...

Nevermind.. Hacked it to 3.5.4 :) (basically entered the template and plugins from the XML manually)

Also put it on most pages (forumdisplay, inferno, showthred, forumhome)

I guess if your not running 3.6 you could do this:

Templates to edit: FORUMHOME (2 edits)

Edit One

FIND

<thead>
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<!-- guest welcome message -->

ABOVE ADD

<!-- peterska2 side column -->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<!-- / peterska2 side column -->


Edit Two

FIND

$footer

ABOVE ADD

<!-- peterska2 side column -->
</td>
<td width="10px"></td>
<td valign="top" width="160px">
<table class="tborder" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

PUT YOUR CONTENT HERE.


</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / peterska2 side column -->

[peterska2]

As I have previously explained, there is a version for 3.5.4, but you need to contact me for details.

[ryans]

Sorry I didn't see that post. Anyway to add it to show thread?

[peterska2]

no, this modification is for forumhome only. amykhar has done a side column that shows on all pages.

[Autocamel]

Can this work on Photo Post Gallery index page?

[Ascor]

installed and work fine , thank you :)

[maroceve]

hey guys :)

can someone please help me add this to my cmps ?

[jcodemasters]

Thanks looks good

[peterska2]

For everyone asking to have this working on other pages:

I have no plans to expand it to cover other pages at this time. It is possible that in the future I may do additional versions for global useage or for specific other pages on the site, but as things stand these are right at the bottom of my to do list.

[Alien]

Hey peter!

Will you be also updating this one with the fixes as seen in the left column version? Especially the shoutbox fix? Thanks!

[peterska2]

Those are coming shortly, I'm going to be working on them once I've got a couple of other things sorted.

[peterska2]

Upgraded to version 1.0.2

Changes:

* Now valid XHTML Trans
* Fixed to work correctly with vBShout when located below navbar.
* Added vB.org version checking.

[Alien]

Thank you peter! I'll be using this on a new project and can't wait! :)

[Shelley_c]

First hack to ever be installed on my forum, I'm officially a hack addict. ;)

Thankyou Kerry. ;)

[Alien]

Hey question.. I was toying around with this, and trying to take out the statistics "Posts: 10 Threads: 1 Members: 1 , Welcome today's newest member" etc. and the variable does not show up when i put it in a sidebar box.. Any idea how to fix that? I want to trim the length of the *forumhome* by putting some information in various side boxes...

[peterska2]

those variables only work in the forumhome template.

If you find in your forumhome template

$forumhome_sidecolumn_right
</table> and add below the code for the whats going on box then it will work. You will need to change some of the phrases to get them to fit without breaking the layout.

[mr_wizard]

This works great, just what i've been looking for. Thanks peterska2.

Computer Tech Support USA (http://www.computer-tech-support-usa.com/forums)

[VBUsers]

ive installed this and everything that belongs on the right is at the bottom of the page. what did i do wrong?

[peterska2]

it is something to do with the content that you have in your column template.

There should be no closing table tag at the end of it, and no starting table tag at the beginning of it.

well i dont get it cause it works fine for 1 template and i just copied the content over and it wont work this time.

im making the same edits as i did before and the content does have tables. i can share it with you and you can see for your self if you like?

[mIRCnet]

Thanks Peterska

[taherk]

After installing this i am getting horizontal scroll bar and my whole forums seems to have shifted by 160px.. what can I do to prevent this

[peterska2]

whats your URL? The one in your profile is invalid.

[taherk]

My URL is techjobs.co.in (http://techjobs.co.in)

I tried right column, then left column mod you have provided... it works fine on wide screens. however on 14 inch monitor user has to scroll

[Chadi]

How do I set it so that onmouseover it changes to alt1 class and back to alt2 class onmouseout? What would be the code?

My sample code now:

<tr>
<td class="tcat">
Site Navigation
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="thead">
Interesting Links
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<a href="http://www.talkjesus.com/arcade.php">Arcade</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<a href="http://www.talkjesus.com/vaispy.php">iSpy</a>
</td>
</tr>

[nimonogi]

Great hack!
Is there any way to make the menu collapse?

is it possible to have this column on all pages ..?? like i want to place Google Ads on the left Column ;)

Hi,

(3.6.1

As i am new at this i really dont know what went/i have done wrong.

now i am getting this error:

Warning: Unknown(your file path.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(356) : eval()'d code on line 2

Warning: Unknown(your file path.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(356) : eval()'d code on line 2

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required 'your file path.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/coolpers/public_html/forums/global.php(356) : eval()'d code on line 2

all i did after the two edit steps i save & reloaded in FORUMHOME, and later i got the above mentioned.

I am not so familiar with this so if any help would be appreciated.

@ saman - have you imported the product? this modification will not create any errors

[peterska2]

@ chadi & nimonogi - i will look into these when i get back to my files late october.

[peterska2]

@ ronak & taherk - no use the all pages one by amykhar

[peterska2]

please note: this has not been tested by myself on any versions after 3.6.0

@ saman - have you imported the product? this modification will not create any errors

Dear peterska,

I did actually before i started with any thing.

CP>Plugins> Manage plugins


One of the admins in vbulletin.com has send me this thread;

I searched your error code here and most of the Threads with the same or similar error codes suggest the problem is related to plugins. The usual response includes these suggestions:

"Disable your plugins, then reenable them one at a time till you find out which one is causing this."

"This error is from a plugin you've installed. You need to disable each of your plugins then turn one at a time to see which one is causing this.

If you cannot log into the Admin CP then to disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

This will disable all hooks and allow you to log in properly with no hooks running.

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/disable_plugins"

Regards,

[peterska2]

disable the product and see it the error persists. ill be surprised if it is this one

[saman]

disable the product and see it the error persists. ill be surprised if it is this one

I dont have any access to my CP any more, how can i disable it?

[saman]

Okay i have found out how to disable it and now my forum is back...

I have added this line: define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); in config.php and after that the forum was back.

So should I install this plugin again? I really need the right side column.

[peterska2]

disable the product in the product manager then remove the line from the config file. if it goes back to the same way then you will need to add the line to config again and disable all products then remove the line and enable them again one by one till you find the one that is causing the problem.

[Brandon Sheley]

how can I add this to the forumdisplay and maybe showthread ?

I had the left one all setup.. but I just moved it to the right and now I can't get the forumdisplay to show correctly.. there is a big space in it :(

thank you
-Brandon

[ibuddy]

one more question. Do you know if it is possible to easily add latest threads, birthdays and who's online on to the side bar? thanks

this is what im trying to find out, anyone?

[realraptor]

this is what im trying to find out, anyone?

it's definitely possible. I was able to somewhat add the welcome box, forum statistics but had problems with the template as things got a little messed up. If anyone knows how and can help us out, please do tell!

[peterska2]

this is not made to work anywhere other than forumhome. sorry but i cant support that

[Brandon Sheley]

:( the left side one would work

[peterska2]

I'm not saying that it won't work.

I do not support changes from my instructions to make it work on other pages.

As stated clearly in the the title, the modification is for FORUMHOME only.

For all pages you want the one by amykhar (released for 3.5.x and works perfectly on 3.6.x)

I have previously stressed this in both threads, and any issues arising to attempting to use it on other pages you are on your own with.

Even if I could help/had time to figure out what and where you were trying to do something, I just simply don't have an internet connection as such at present and am limited to cyber cafes or using the WAP feature on my cell phone. It's impossible to do much development/testing like this, even posting and reading threads is very difficult hence my lack of activity as advertised until the end of the month.

[Brandon Sheley]

I understand what your saying,, I'll wait for something else, or check out amykar's..

you do what you have to do, I'm greatful for any hacks you put out :)

[dklassen]

Will this mod work in 3.6.2?

[peterska2]

Yes it will work in 3.6.2

I just wanted to give a thanks for this if I haven't already. :)

It's working nicely on WTF.

There should be no closing table tag at the end of it, and no starting table tag at the beginning of it.

I'm having the same issue. All I did was copy and paste the code in the instructions. I haven't added anything to it yet.

See screenshot. Help please?

[peterska2]

Can you enable template comments and provide a link to your site please.

[Ohiosweetheart]

I took the right side column down and put the left-side up because I know it works, as I have it installed on another style.

I really would like to have the right side column tho :(

[Kadi]

Thanks, worked fine with me. I'd like to uninstall though, cause the right side column is on the left side (my forum is in Arabic). I will be installing the left side column hack.

How do I uninstall? Through the product manager?

[peterska2]

Yes just uninstall the product via the product manager.

[Kadi]

I uninstalled but the forum table is pushed to the side as if the column was still there.

[peterska2]

remove the edits from the forumhome template too.

[Kadi]

thank you for your help and quick replies. :)

[GFX Brands]

how can i make it so it can have a space between tables becuase now i use the <br> tag and no spaces any help?

It does, I just installed it last night. Still cant figure out how to data multiple tables though.

[Ohiosweetheart]

this is exactly what I have right now too.

thepub, did you ever get this to work? I tried to do it again, but got the same results... the colums were down beneath the forum (above the who's online box) and were the entire width of the forum. Just like I had before (see same screenshot as earlier). I never did get a fix for it, so I went to the left side column which installed perfectly. I really wanted to use the right one tho

this is usually cause by an extra table tag somewhere in your code.

yep it's not fixed. Luckily I did it on a "test" style that I run all my hacks and stuff on first so if it gets screwed up I can revert it lol. I haven't been able to figure it out though and will have to change it so the columns aren't on the bottom.

[peterska2]

How do you add multiple tables on the right column?

yes you just need to use the code you have added to put another row in the box.

to add a break between to areas, use

</table>
<br />
<table class="tborder" border="0" width="100%" align="center">ensure that your template starts with <tr> and ends with </tr> otherwise it will not work.

Did you guys follow the instructions to the letter?

I have only installed this on default based styles (and yes some of them are pretty modified but still based on the default style) and have encountered no problems at all.

However, without further details from you, I cannot assist with this. Ideally I need to see it in operation with template comments turned on then I can see your exact installation of it.

[Ohiosweetheart]

I followed it to the letter, and checked, and re-checked. I've installed the left-side column on many forums Kerry. I gave up and installed the left side column with no problem whatsoever.

If I try this one again, I'll post the url and the code here so you can see. But three times now, this has happened, lol

[HPIA]

How would this work with a fixed width? It doesn't seem to be working with mine...

[peterska2]

If you have full sized category images then it cannot resize them. Otherwise, it works perfectly on both fixed and fluid widths.

[MRGTB]

In your XML file that contains the code for the column Peterska2.

Try using this code which I created for my site and see what you think. It validates, and has collasible blocks and looks neat!

any idea for how to add new threads in this bar. like last 10 new threads ?
Plus most popular threads is last 2 weeks (5 threads)

i'm new in this field so can anyone help me?

[peterska2]

You would need a modification that did those, and then integrate them into each other. You might want to post a request or question for help with that.

[VBUsers]

can this be changed to all forum pages? if not is there a working one for 3.6.4 ?

[peterska2]

Any changes made to it to display on other pages are unsupported, and assistance cannot be given if it does not work correctly.

amykhar wrote an all pages one for 3.5.x which works on 3.6.x

[Caiman]

Love it. Anyway I can have multiple boxes, instead of just one? (one below the other, that is)

[Caiman]

n/m ...

</table>
<br />
<table class="tborder" border="0" width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]">

After the last </tr> works great (and leaving a </tr> at the end of the template)

[blogtorank]

Kerry-Anne, Great hack and a must have!

*Installed at 99* :D

[Caiman]

Has anyone worked out an easy way to export latest posts into the side column? I've tried myself but I'm not the best at modifying hacks to work together and so on, I'm aware though it could be done with the external.php script? But aye, gonna throw the boat out and ask if anyone who has done it might share? Thanks!

Hello, i have this running on talkdelaware.com, its easy and effective, but the column doesnt align with the forum cat, under the shoutbox.

i noticed on "bug fixes" for your left column you have "align fix" or something, how do i align this correctly? i like the right side better.

[Edellion]

very well hacks, thanks

[mattyk72]

The left side version can be found here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117988)

this link doesn't work, can anyone point me in the direction of the left side version of this?

thanks

[Illustrious]

I can't seem to get a background image with the right column, but I can with the left. I'm using this code:

<td valign="top" width="160px" STYLE="background-image:url('imagesrc');background-attachment:fixed;background-repeat:no-repeat;">

It seems to work when I take off the no-repeat, but then the problem is that the background image repeats, which I don't want to happen.

Is the right column aligned differently than the left column? Seems like that's the problem.

[Chadi]

Can someone show me how to apply some kind of show/hide option to this mod? That would be awesome

[Chadi]

Hopefully someone can explain how to fix this problem. I upgraded to 3.6.7 and upgraded this hack. The column appears above footer, below forum categories, instead of an actual right side column. This is on a new style I installed, not the live one you would see now.

My forumhome template is:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<!-- no cache headers -->
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />

[wpeloquin]

i am having the same problem as chadi

i upgraded to 3.6.7. on 1 skin, i reverted the template, and then added in the column coding. on another skin i did not revert yet, it still shows.

i've tried re-importing the xml with overwrite, and nothing.

[dip1232001]

Hopefully someone can explain how to fix this problem. I upgraded to 3.6.7 and upgraded this hack. The column appears above footer, below forum categories, instead of an actual right side column. This is on a new style I installed, not the live one you would see now.

My forumhome template is:

It's most likely from the skin, cause it's not the default :cool:

[raiderlax]

How can we make this show on all pages? I think that's important.

[raiderlax]

anyone please?

[tipoboy]

manually do the template edits to the pages you want them to appear otherwise use the ultimate side columns hack

[RaceJunkie]

If this makes a column that collapses

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('my_table')"><img id="collapseimg_my_table" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_my_table].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
TABLE TITLE
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_my_table" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_my_table]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
STUFF THAT IS HIDDEN WHEN THE TABLE IS COLLAPSED
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

How do I do one that users can not collapse?

[theFAILURE]

Anyone have a FULL screenshot of this mod installed with 800x600 resolution?

[RaceJunkie]

looks like I have the same issue with the side colume being at the bottom..

[RaceJunkie]

Here is what I have been able to find so far.

If you have a style that requires you to enter a forum ID in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template that is the problem (at least for me)

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 178">
<else />
<tr><td class="thead" style="line-height: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="1" height="8" /></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="cat_spacer"></div>
</if>

My problem is if I enter forum ID 178 everything looks fine for a guest, (since this is the first forum they can see) But when I do this the side column is at the bottom for me since the first forum I can view is before this one..

The way I fixed it was remove the above code from the template BUT when you do this your forums will not have spaces between the categories..

Searching for a fix for that now.

[hoopsta]

is there a max # of characters you can use in the template? I seem to have maxed out the space . It won't save new additions.

Not unless there is a MAX character in the templates and I don't believe there is.

[rasterbox]

i installed this great plugin to my forum and it works great. My only problem is that when i view the sub-forum list the width of the forum is getting out of hand.

Does anyone encounter this or know a fix for this problem?

Here is a link of what am saying:

http://forum.3dpinoy.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9


Thanks in advance.

[rasterbox]

bump....

anyone?

[Skavenger]

is there any way to show latest threads from X forum?

thanks

[xcingix]

Is there any way for doing this for top posters and or latest posts?

Notice the "sidebar" button on the right forum area which hides/reveals the side bar column. Where can I find this hack?

I already have this sidebar hack installed

[Pete C]

I installed this and it displayed ok. Problems started as soon as the content was added - Google adsense, the mini calendar mod, a donate button etc. Load times on the forumhome went from a couple of seconds to literally minutes!

Tried removing the content bit by bit, but until EVERYTHING was removed the load time was seriously affected.

Disabled the sidecolumn and normal speeds were regained. Re-enabled and the slowdown recurred. I now have absolutely no doubt this hack seriously affects page loading time. I find this counterproductive since frustrated members simply log out rather than suffer the delays, so the benefit of any added content is thus lost.

It looked good, but it pretty well brought my site to a standstill!

A great shame, mainly due to the amount of time I wasted generating the Google ads, and matching the content to the style colours. *shakes head sadly*


*Update: It looks like I may have found a workaround for this - at least where my own site is concerned. Despite removing it, I was loathe to waste the time I'd spent getting it to look "just how I wanted", so I had another try. Strangely enough, installing it on just one of the 5 styles we have available seems to permit a reasonable load time. I really can't understand why this should be, the content is identical on all the styles, and although it was slowing things down, the display was correct.

I guess this means I can use that one style as default, thus giving a decent airing to the Google ads (??s) :), and also giving the members chance to opt for another (slightly faster loading) style, with less advertising.

Hmm, maybe clouds do have silver linings after all . . . re-installed for now - I'll see how it goes.

[Chadi]

This hack causes 37 W3C errors. If I remove ALL content from the sidecolumn template, it reduces the W3C error down to one.

This is the content that I use:

Some w3c error examples:

Line 2522, Column 3: document type does not allow element "tr" here.
(this above mainly sums up almost all 37 errors)

Line 2651, Column 3: document type does not allow element "tr" here; assuming missing "table" start-tag.If I empty the template while keeping the plugin installed and forumhome template edits in tact, I get this one error:

Line 2318, Column 7: end tag for "table" which is not finished.</table>I hope someone can figure a way to fix the w3c errors. I've tried a few different methods to no avail. It also causes forumhome to load a bit slower, maybe an extra 3 seconds.

If you have a problem with the column being at the bottom, it is a simple fix. it is because in FORUMHOME, the $forumbits is already encased inside a <table></table> tag. in order to make these separate tables, you must also make the following edits:

In your FORUMHOME template:
FIND:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
$forumbits
</table>


REPLACE WITH:

$forumbits



then, in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost, REPLACE THE WHOLE TEMPLATE WITH:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>
</table>
<div style="padding:0px 0px 16px 0px;"></div>

just work on your own errors one at a time. the validator will tell you which code needs to be fixed, just find it and fix it ;)
