How do I add left column under the header?

I am using vbulletin advanced CMPS for my home page -- I now want a similar look for rest of pages. I now want to add a left column so all my forum pages. In this page I will put "Site Navigation" & Google ads.

Could someone please point me on how to do it?

I did find some postings on this but it moved all the pages to right. I want to still keep the "header" at the same place. Similar to the vba look.

Attached is sample on what I am trying to do.

Much appreciated
Liam

You should have a look at a hack called "Ultimate Side Columns".

Shawn --

I get it working no problem.

How do I get the LEFT COL. to start a bit lower down. See attached for INCORRECT image (that is how it is now) and CORRECT (how I want it).

I assume I need to change code in something else but the header?
Any ideas?

This is as it is now

This is how I want it
65718



Thanks
Liam

Some feedback --

- Got it going by changing the navbar and not header.
- Also had to solve "narrow thread" problem by applying this


1) Goto Plugins & Products, >>click on Add New Plugin.

2) Select product as Ultimate Side Column.

3) Change hook location as Vbulletin General>>parse_templates.

4) Insert PHP Code
$vbulletin->templatecache['header'] .= '";$spacer_open="';
$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] .= '";$spacer_close="';

5) Select plugin to active



Thanks
