Tri-Box

[King Kovifor]

This is the most versatile Tri-Box there is out there...

Install

Upload attached product. Modify the the vbulletin navbar template and add the following code at the very bottom:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="3" align="center">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('tribox')"><img id="collapseimg_tribox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_tribox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vboptions[tribox_title]
</td>
</tr>
<tbody id="collapseobj_tribox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_tribox]">
<tr align="center">
<td width="28%" class="thead">$vboptions[tribox_col1_title]</td>
<td width="44%" class="thead">$vboptions[tribox_col2_title]</td>
<td width="28%" class="thead">$vboptions[tribox_col3_title]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="28%" class="alt1">$vboptions[tribox_col1_content]</td>
<td width="44%" class="alt2">$vboptions[tribox_col2_content]</td>
<td width="28%" class="alt1">$vboptions[tribox_col3_content]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />

Than all you have to do is edit the vBOptions category and you've got yourself a tri-use box! Screenshots below...

Can we have some more info to what a Tri-Box is please. Cos i have no idea, and i cant tell from the picture.

[R-n-R]

Maybe a suggestion on how to use it or a link to where it is being used, that would be great.

[GrCh_Jeff]

It is a three column box used to put info such as links, text, etc.I have installed and have had no problems.I use 3.5.3

Here is a preview of the admincp and a preview of It in use:

Hi,

I am interested in doing what you have done there. Could you show me how you did that. i.e what variables etc you used to pull that info.

Also what code would I have to use to put the last 5 posts into the center box.

Kindest regards.

Jon

Jon,

What do you mean you'd like to do something like this. As for latest posts, I'm not too sure...

The way that you have pulled latest announcements etc into your TriBox.

[King Kovifor]

The way that you have pulled latest announcements etc into your TriBox.
Oh since the site doesn't post announcements a lot, I've hand typed that in. Through the ACP options...

[Mythotical]

I would the be one that will add the feature of pulling the latest 5 posts.

It's yours to take a crack at...

[Mythotical]

Been doing that already, so far I got the code, but haven't tested yet, plan to do that once I finish this style.

Glad your already working on.

Hi m8

In the 3rd box (partners) any ideas on how to add a rotating banner in there?
Is this at all poossible, would you be able to integrate another hack to do this,
perhaps with options in the admincp to add the said banners...

Perhaps go 1 better, maybe there could be a link in that box that when click iit
takes the advertiser to another pager where they can automatically pay and add there image?

How doe this sound? Far fetched? or plauseable?

[King Kovifor]

far fetched for me.... but if you find a random banner rotator, you can use their code their.

What could I change in the code to add a 4th box I have already have created the 4th box & changed all to 25% but I dont know what to change in the product to have an editable box in the acp.

If its not to much.

Soon, I'm going upload you a product. All you'll have to do is edit your templates where your content/title is and add the following code;

FOR THE TITLE:

$vboptions[tribox_4_col]

FOR THE CONTENT:

$vboptions[tribox_4_col_content]
