These instructions are with table(s) added into the empty column you see after using the instruction provided by Floris & Jake Bunce tutorials in Quick Tips forum @ vBulletin.com. I have little changes, but in whole it is the same. This is for displaying under navbar menu. If you are using a portal, you can add modules within forum and those instruction are posted within other sites forums.

Left Column Table

What hack are you using for a shoutbox? I can always see where that edit was placed. It most likely under the template: header code.

Just notice you are using separate 'Categories Modification'. I am going to see what I can do to fix the problem, it should be easy enough. I am going to edit my templates with same edits you have in your forum.

Note: It does not work in IE 7. I have to go though it again to see what I can do to work with 'Separate Categories Mod'. I have fixed what was wrong in IE7. This is going to work for only forum index and if you want it to line up on other pages, then please post a request and I will give more information in how to achieve this.

Great mod..

Can you please post a conditional based on usergroups??

For example, do not display for usergroup X (paid membership) or vice versa....

Would I just wrap your code in this:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7)">

</if>

thanks for the nice mod!!

LEAD_WEIGHT

07-04-2007, 08:46 AM

If you are using the other conditional in the instruction, you can combine like this. This will make it not show for these usergroup(s). You need ! to not display.

<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('index','forumdisplay','showthread')) AND !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, array(5, 6, 7))">

</if>

well anyway, your thing helped me fix it in FF but not in ie - in IE - check this following thread - the first page, the column is overlapping the text area and in the second page, it really really stretches

njoker555 you must of miss the last part of the instruction on fisrt post.

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > StyleVars {Drop Down Menu} > Sizes and Dimensions

Message Area Width (pixels): [440px]
(This value allows you to specify the width in pixels of the text box used for all message posting in vBulletin)

Code Block Width (pixels): [440px]
(This value controls the width of [code], [php] and [html] bbcode blocks. You may set this value to 'auto', but if you do, Internet Explorer will stretch the width of the block rather than inserting a scrollbar.)

Maintenance > Update Counters > Rebuild Post Cache

You also need to use postbit instead of postbit_legacy to utilize the most of message space.

njoker555

07-04-2007, 11:12 PM

actually i did miss that but it didnt work - can you explain what you meant by postbit and postbit_legacy ?

you can go back to that thread link i gave, didnt work there - and i updated counters too :(

ok thanks a lot, appreciate the help a lot :)

and question, do you know how i can put the info around the forum in there - such as this on top right corner when u login it says "You last visited: Today at 03:53 PM" into the panel.

and stuff like you have "this much private msgs" etc. also forum statistics like total members, posts, etc. on there.

thanks!

njoker555, you can not use the same identification to collaspe a cell. This is meant for one cell and you ca change 'rightbar_1' to 'rightbar_2' or if you callaspe one with the same (id), then it will stay close or just not work at all.

If you create a collasping cell make sure that cell has its own (id).

<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('rightbar_1')"><img id="collapseimg_rightbar_1" src="images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

njoker555 did you add to Additional Cascading Style Sheetings and edit spacer_open in that style. Plus did you edit in 'Sizes and Dimensions' for message area & code and then run update counter.

yes i did - but these were already in the additional cascading style sheet - in the bottom text box, so i just put the addition there, this is what it already had:

.menu {
padding-left: 10px;
font-size: 8pt;
color: #FFFFFF;
border-left: 2px solid #1E1E1E;
border-right: 2px solid #1E1E1E;
}

.menu a:link, .menu a:visited, .menu a:active {
font-size: 8pt;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

.menu a:hover {
font-size: 8pt;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline;
}

and i added this under it:

.spacer-open { padding: 0 25px; }
.spacer-open .spacer-open { padding: 0; }

i dont know if thats the problem

What does your 'Sizes and Dimensions' of Style RedBar have for values.

Message Area Width (pixels) [???]
(This value allows you to specify the width in pixels of the text box used for all message posting in vBulletin)

Code Block Width (pixels) [???]
(This value controls the width of [code], [php] and [html] bbcode blocks. You may set this value to 'auto', but if you do, Internet Explorer will stretch the width of the block rather than inserting a scrollbar.)

Main Table Width (pixels or percentage) - 780
Spacer Size (pixels) -- 10
Outer Border Width (pixels) -- 20
Inner Border Width (pixels) -- 1
Table Cell Padding (pixels) -- 6
Form Element Spacer Size (pixels) --3
Form Width (pixels) -- 640px
User Control Panel Form Width (pixels) -- 480px
Message Area Width (pixels) -- 440px
User Control Panel Message Area Width (pixels) -- 380px
Code Block Width (pixels) -- 440px

thats all of them

edit: and if u look at the theme with teal black - its all the way at the bottom, i dont know why but icant get it to work in any other themes except the first one :(

help really appreciated, thanks!

I do not see any difference in Teal to default style other then you do not have sidebar displaying at forum index on Teal.

I would want to test that style RedBar, but I do not have the time to do it this week. I know it is something simple with the navbar template, but I am not sure. Is this style located at vBulletin.org [Free Styles Forum]

yea thats where i got it - and for the teal one - in the front page, its all the way at the bottom of the forum lol, look for it, just scroll all the way down

and i finally found a template that works -- http://www.gamers-forum.com/index.php?styleid=11 - silver and red - also from this forum - and it works perfectly :)

thanks for all your help - i do like redbar better but just let me know when/if you've found a solutions because i can live with this current one now :)

how would i make it so this theme is changed for everyone and people visiting the forum sees this first?

I could just help you edit these into your template(s) if you want. Just make me have only 'Can Administer Styles' set for that user.

If you do it has to be next day... as I am going out right about now.

oh sorry lol, i havent visited back this thread :( well if u still want to do that u can, just register and tell me

will u keep doing it for new styles? or just the ones i have now? lol - i could use someone like u on the staff lol :D

skooby if you want a real working vB calendar, then you should get vBadvanced.com cmps or this Java Script one here in this link. I am in the process of creating a .php version that loads faster.

Thanks for the help. I didn't want to go with a CMPS because I just wanted the calendar, not the everything else. Unfort. Ihave been unable to get just the calendar to show in weekly view (and not the montly calendar like yours displays). Thanks for the help.

i was wrong lol, in silver and red - if you go to the register page - the right bar is gone and it goes under the forum time :( awww - its not that big of a deal i guess but it does look kind of bad lol

I had this problem too. I just added the green text (the conditional stuff) to where he says to add it and it works. Now I no longer have that nasty looking box on my register.php page.

I made one with the following within the first post that it will only display in selected pages.
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT

*Note: this is only good for fluid style, as I seen some issue with fixed width.

Thanks for this gr8 mod......

I have a few queries on this .....

I am using vbAdvanced CMPS, and I would like to bring the Calendar, Today's Birthdays, Latest Threads into the right side column
If I have a fixed style, will it have any problems or does this work only with fluid styles. I tested only on the default style as of now. Will be testing with Red bar later in the day.Thanks....

You do ot need this modification if you have vBadvanced, as it can do the excact same thing, but better.

Another problem I am facing is when I add these codes for left side column, and when test the browser in 1024 x 78 Resolution, i have to scroll the screen from left to right to see the entire contents.. :(

hi, after installing this

my footer bar with the "Contact us - Admin - Mod - Archive - Top" has changed a little bit in size.

it use to match the full width of the page, which is what i liked. now it's the same total width of the side column and forum.

how can i fix this so that the bar will be full width of outer table again?

thank you

I have the same problem as FamChap. I tried to just set the size of that row to a size who looked ok. But on the pages where i don't show the right column it looks wierd :\

I'm using a fixed size forum. Except that little error, it's a killer mod! :up: :up:

EDIT:
It looks wierd in IE as well, forumsize is like 20px to big. :\

I am also using the Latest blogs product which I want to add in the right sidebar without having any extra borders like the one on my site www.tvforum.tv. When I try to fix this the sidebar gets broken. How can I fix this?

hello,

I have this mod installed however I am not able to fix a problem: the column jumps off on thread viewing and on memberlist, at least.

I believe I have followed all steps on the thread.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Ok when viewing index or inside a forum:

Not ok when viewing threads or memberlist.

I have just set this up and it works however i have two questions:

How to i line it up to the main forum as it sits just to high. I have tried putting in padding on the top but it just reduces the main forum in width. I have tried putting a div around the table and that?s not working either

How to i separate the boxes?

Is anyone still supporting this? I am having an on going issue that is really doing my head in! I cannot get my right column to match the forum height or the left one. I am not using separate boxes (as I couldn?t establish that). When I have tried putting in a td padding its messes it up.

Could someone please reply!!!????

Old thread revival...

Just installed this. Working great only for one issue. I also have vb.Sponsors installed but for some reason, any forums which are not sponsored (i.e. should be in their original state without any modifications), the right column appears underneath the entire website. Anyone have any ideas?
