add tables to left of forum home

[Benj]

Ok have a look at the attached image... i want to add 2 tables to the right had side of my design. the problem is if i add them using the many articles on vb.org the tables apear inside the white box. i dont want this! i want them to apear outside like in the screen shot... any ideas?

Simply set this up in the header and foot templates - basically:

Header template:

<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
banner
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width=80%">

vbulletin code - php_output, etc


Footer:

(after all the vb code)
</td>

<td width="20%">
YOUR BOXES HERE
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Footer
</td>
</tr>
</table>



Same sort of approach as I've used here:
http://www.techwatch.co.uk
http://www.security-talk.co.uk

I used a left hand nav for the default template here:
http://www.platinax.co.uk/forum/

All down just with header and footer templates.

Hope that helps.

I ue vBadvanced to do this but when I move to 3.6 I plan to try an approach like this....

You can see my site at:

The trick was to include the vbA portal in all the pages that you want the vBA code added and in essence your forums end up being included as teh custom code... I figured it out over at vbadvanced.com but it has been a while...

Good Luck!
