Add this to the very end of navbar template:
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_start}

PS. After edit the code above must be the last line in the navbar template.



Add the code below to the first line of footer template:
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}



Footer template after adding the code:
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
<div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}">
{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
{vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
</div>
</vb:if>

......



Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_rightcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column.


Finally don't forget to click install.


Thanks to Lynne for additional css plugin code which I used in this modification.


PS. Do not use my side column mods together use only one.

Thanks. :) I will try it.

Ok, is that compatible with widget? if is possible it would be better.

[Seven Skins]

This hack is for forums not for CMS pages.

[pipedreams]

This hack is for forums not for CMS pages.

It would be nice to places cms widgets in there though.

I've not researched it myself, but surely it would not be a lot of work?

[fourat]

[fourat]

.
Yes exactly.

[Seven Skins]

A1: You may edit the sc_css.css template to reduce/increase the size of column.
A2: You can also put {vb:raw sc_start} after notices. Shoutbox no idea .. till I see tha code of navbar.

Hi there,
First of, gread mod! :up:

I'm just having some problems with the position, whenever I login it loses its original position, gettes a bit more to the top, aligning with the 'Post New Thread' button. I've attached a image to explain better what I mean, please tell me if there is any fix for that.

Another question, is there any way to change it from the rightside to the leftside?

Thanks in advance for your time.

[CThiessen]

Hi,
just to give an Idea how it might work to collapse.
I do have that as a goody for Users only.
I put a little symbol next to the personal Information.
107184

On is visible / invisible Mod the other one is to collapse the sidebar (its still vb3).
The basic code is what vB is using to collapse Forums.

Christian

[Seven Skins]

I have worked out how to collapse it ... I am waiting for vb4.0RC1 which might be out any time ... if there are any changes to the code we can sort it in one go. :)

The reason I left it on the top is because if you have any announcement/notices the forums will move up or down.

Put this at the very bottom of your navbar template:

{vb:raw sc_start}

Seven Skins, since I don't use any announcement/notices I don't need that extra feature, is there any way to keep it just alligned with the Main Category bar? I would really appreciate alot if you could help me out since I really need this addon.

Thanks again :)

[fourat]

Great mod but when using it with a banner. The banner below navbar the side column is out of alignment with the rest of the forum..

[Alecsmith]

i have install mod but i can only see side box on forum home page is it possible i can see side banner on ever page, thread what ever link i open in forum.

[guvner]

Thank you for this mod - just what VB4 needed. :up:

I also need the sidebar to appear on all forum pages - I generate revenue from banner impressions so the more pages I have it on the better - especially needed is inclusion in the postbit templates.

Is there an easy way to manually add it to the other forum pages?

Mike :)

[Seven Skins]

Mod Updated ... :)

You can edit "sc_other" class in sc_css.css template and chnage the paddding from 0px to say 100px or 120px .... and do this till the side coulmn aligns where you want. You may need to press ctrl + f5 to see the effect in your forum.

You can add "margin-right: 230px" to your add code .. but this will move the ad on all the pages you will have to IF statement to sort this.

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'"><div style="margin-right: 230px">ad code</div></vb:if>

Edit sc_start and sc_end template.
Find:
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">

Say if want to show this on blogs:
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'blog'">


.

[Alecsmith]

Working now but i can't see side banner in post or thread it appear on Home Page and sub section.

[fourat]

Seven Skin I mean collapse the side column like IPB ( collapse from left to right )
when collapse from left to right the width of forum increase and the side column disappear (just collapse button stay)
No Meaningless to adding collapsing button from the bottom to the top because the side column will stay

[Seven Skins]

^ That is not possible to do with this hack.

Thanks - but since I'm no coder, I tried your workaround using 'postbit' instead of 'blog' and nothing happened.

How can I get the side column to appear on the postbit & postbit legacy templates?

Mike :)

[Baf_Jams]

Works perfect till i login ?

Then it moves it to the bottom of the page ?

Make sure the template edits are correct.

Is there a way to make the column on the right side instead/ as well ?

[dt-pain]

How can I align the footer to the side? Please see attached image..

[Seven Skins]

That will be done in stylevars "Document Margin" ... change the margins to 0 ...but that will also resize the header.

Please, can you do a left version of the plugin?

[dt-pain]

Why would I do that then? There has got to be another way..

Yes they have ... this means this hack is dead ... lol

I saw that last night at vb.com after I finished making left side column :(

[Baf_Jams]

Post it up anyway I will use it till they release :)

[tommyxv]

Keep this alive...more options the better.

[Universal]

Depending on the options available on vBs side column, people might still want to use a side column mod. At first glance, vBs side column may be a little to wide for my liking.

Thank you.

Please Help, i dont understand edit the navbar ? Insert the code in navbar ?
This is my code!.


The navbar is a different template from the three you posted. You need to select "Edit Templates" instead of "Common Templates" in the Style Manager and then find the navbar template. And as it says in the instructions above add the line at the end of that template.

[Seven Skins]

Add this after the last line of your NAVBAR template. So this will be the last line in navbar template.

{vb:raw sc_start}


Add this before the first line of your footer template. So this will be the first line in the footer template.

{vb:raw sc_end}


.

[Baf_Jams]

so on the 1st lot of text you posted add

{vb:raw sc_start}

right at the very bottom


------------------------
here is the navbar location

Steps as Pic
1 + 2. go edit templates
3. then Navigation / breadcrumbs template
4.navbar

[Tize.]

The navbar is a different template from the three you posted. You need to select "Edit Templates" instead of "Common Templates" in the Style Manager and then find the navbar template. And as it says in the instructions above add the line at the end of that template.

Thank you very much friend.
Great attention-.

The problem is very hard to add this code for people novice.
Thank you.
Hack Installed! :)

[Tize.]

so on the 1st lot of text you posted add

{vb:raw sc_start}

right at the very bottom


------------------------
here is the navbar location

Steps as Pic
1 + 2. go edit templates
3. then Navigation / breadcrumbs template
4.navbar
then at the very bottom of the text type
{vb:raw sc_start}

Hey friend, thank you very much!!! :p:p:p

I am very happy for yours replys.
Thank you :-)

[Tize.]

Hi thanks for the help and especially to those who have tried to help me.
Thank you very much.
The problem is that not everyone knows well how to put this code and many of us when we hacks have to do these things put them for not knowing.
I the end I had to clear it does not, just move the forum and leave the hole but I see where you can change or add options or something on the menu.

I missed the code ((vb: raw ad_location.ad_footer_start))
Anyway thank you very much at all and very kind.
Greetings. Tize.

How to show Side Column in Showthread ?

[Seven Skins]

^
Edit ss_rightcolumn_end and ss_rightcolumn_start templates.

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">

.

[ywwz]

Great job. I dont think vbb has side bar on every forum page like this mod. Thank you very much.

[mokujin]

What mod does vbb.com use right side bar that can hide and show it?
Thanks

[Seven Skins]

That is bulit in to vb .. but only for forumhome.
This mod can be used almost everywhere in the forum.

[klaus]

I like this mod.

However I question how this is different from the build in VB sidebar/block feature that comes with VB4. On my VB4 test installation I started using the VB version and successfully inserted various adsense banners, iframes calling php's and html from other areas of my side plus of course the supplied widgets. As was able to adjust the width very easily.

The one advantage I see with this mod is that it runs past the forum home view into the forum level and maybe even the post level. I am sure the Vbulletin sidebar can do that with one or two lines of code modifications(?).

So the big questions:
1. What is the advantage over the Vbulletin version?
2. How is the performance in comparison?

Like I said I like this mod and consider it, just question the need for it.

[Seven Skins]

So the big questions:
Q. What is the advantage over the Vbulletin version?
A. Can be used on almost every page of the forum.
A. If you using adverts you want your user to see the ads, not hide them like you can with vbulletin sidebar.

Q. How is the performance in comparison?
A. This is faster then vbulletin but only disadvantage is you cannot add widgets etc this mod.

You can use vbulletin sidebar on home page and this on other pages.

.

[klaus]

I will measure the performance and compare it myself. as for Widget I don't see any use for any of the Vbulletin widgets available today and know that if there is a high need for one I can within minutes switch between this mod and the vbulletin sidebar.

Thanks for the quick response and for making this mod available free of charge to anyone.

[GrossKopf]

I don't understand this part:

"Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_rightcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column."

Where do I edit the contents? Under vbulletin options? In the template editor?

[Seven Skins]

Yes in the template editor.
There will be new template group "Seven Skins" you will find the template in there.

.

[demojames]

Installed! Works great on Gold 4.0 PL1 Thanks!

[kneukm03]

Is there an "or" thing I can add to make it show up on the content management system page?

[Seven Skins]

You can edit ss_rightcolumn_end and ss_rightcolumn_start templates and add in the 2nd line .

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbcms'">

.

[ywwz]

How do I update it???

[Seven Skins]

Save the contents of your columns in the text pad or something (So you dont lose your code).
Then overwrite the product .... and if necessary do template edits.

[jnrdavo]

can you add in random ad code?

I want to be able to place about 10 different ads in the block, in random order...

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
How can I display database fields in your mod right columns?

[texasteamplayer]

You will have to write a plugin to fetch data from database.

yeah....what this mod needs the most is the ability to accept the widgets from CMS, and forum blocks. Then.....this becomes the must-have, definitive, period mod.

That, and the ability for users to vertically minimize blocks they don't want, as well as admin's the ability to set some blocks to be non-minimizeable, and even the ability to assign permission for some usergroups to be able to edit it (like mods, editors, media staff, etc).

Most especially the ability to add the recent posts, recent blogs, recent articles widgets from CMS or forum. Please please please.

......can I pay you to add this? And to add code so there's a GUI, instead of tedious tempate edits for blocks? Needs an "add a left block", "add a right block" function like vB's sideblock does.

so much potential. $$$?

This is a great application. I have been trying to understand how to change the layout of a forum page so my blocks would remain in place when the user goes into a forum. This feature solves that problem. The only limit is the width of the column - I need at least 285 px to fit my application. Is there any way to make the column wider?

[iadventure]

how can I make it wider like 230px?

[Seven Skins]

To adjust the width of the column edit "ss_rightcolumn_css.css" template.

You will find 3 instances of "210px" edit it to 295px .. 10 pixels wider then column.
And you will find 2 instances of 200px edit it to 285 pixels.

It seems to be taking up too much screen realestate if they are side by side.

But i have a question: How i make to align with forum category top?
The amount of space varies depending upon the script, and could change again depending upon the style and other mods that may be in place. You can play around with adding some padding above the content for each script type in ss_rightcolumn_contents. For example,
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">
<div style="padding-top:66px;">&nbsp;</div>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">
<div style="padding-top:54px;">&nbsp;</div>
</vb:if>
Note also that the spacing for the forumdisplay template changes if it includes subforums - you can tweak the template, or script a more complex conditional....

P.S. How does this interact with widgets being displayed on ForumHome?

That's what I believe you mean and if so yes, it will work and only require a few edits, here's a shot from a 4.1.3 default style:

Thanks for the reply Superman. This is what I was afraid of. What I'd like to do, which is what VB ought to do ;) is to intermix banners, widgets and other useful items in a consistent right side column. So the idea is to be able to use widget and/or forum blocks in the new right side column, rather than adding a separate column.

Anybody know how to do something like this?

Just want to say big thanks to Seven Skins for this mod, takes a wee bit of work to get working with a customised design but well worth it due to the stupidity of vB4 not having the ability to have the sidebar on pages other than FORUMHOME. :confused: :mad:

So thanks a lot!
Have been trying to install this today but for some reason it keeps cutting off my white background image across the whole forum page. Any ideas why? Here are before and after pics and thanks in advance for any info as I know you guys are busy with our stupid questions:I have just suffered with this myself and after trying clears, clearfix's and all sorts, in the end it all came down to simply adding overflow: hidden to the opening div that contains your background.

Mine for example was body_wrapper so in the navbar template I found:
<div class="body_wrapper">
and changed it to: (show only to Guests on ForumDisplay)
<div class="body_wrapper"<vb:if condition="$show['guest'] && THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'"> style="overflow:hidden;"</vb:if>>
In your case I believe you're using bodyWrapper so just copy the red section and paste it into the bodyWrapper div. :)

I should say I'm using this on vB 4.1.3

[Damsella]

Excellent mod. Exactly what I need! Many thanks.

An easier way is to place {vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end} at the very top of the footer template (above everything else).

My only issue with this hack is that the column is a few pixels higher than my forum display and I can't figure out how to adjust it :( I have tried adding padding as alluded to on page 11 ... or 10 .. whatever ... and it doesn't do anything.

I have exactly the same problem. Anyone have a fix for this..

Yeah me too. The script seems to work but on my admin panel i got this error with 4.14 - 5 - 6

No one even knows how we will correct it?


Thank you!

[Seven Skins]

I can not reproduce this error I have tried on all three of my servers.

Make sure you have all the original files uploaded correctly and you have run the upgrade script successfully.

Hi:

I just tried this with 4.1.7 and it works. First move the forum sideblock to the left and configure Seven Skin block to the right. However, I disabled it for now. I might consider a full paid version.

Cheers,

Hi Seven Skins:

I implemented correctly at three levels using VB4 forum block, left and right columns together, as shown in the links below.

1) At the forum level with forum block from VB4:

http://kieumau.net/forum/forum.php

2) At thread level with left and right columns:

http://kieumau.net/forum/forumdisplay.php/146-In-Memory-of-Professor-Dr.-Dương-Thiệu-Tống

3) At post level with right column:

http://kieumau.net/forum/showthread.php/797-Kiểu-Mẫu-Qu?i-Sử

Installed, voted and nominated.

Thanks again.

there is any for the left side? and for vb 4.1.7?

My only issue with this hack is that the column is a few pixels higher than my forum display and I can't figure out how to adjust it :( I have tried adding padding as alluded to on page 11 ... or 10 .. whatever ... and it doesn't do anything.

I still can't figure this out. The column sits a few pixels higher than the forums do and it's kind of annoying :D

EDIT: Figured out how to "fix" it. This is on 4.1.5 pl3 (not sure if that matters :D )

Open the xml file

Find (adjusts forum display page column)


.ss_rightcolumn_index {
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: 44px;


Change the margin-top: to fit your site, for me it was 50px.

Find (adjusts thread display page column)


.ss_rightcolumn_other {
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: 1px;


Change margin-top (I had to change it to 90).

After you change the xml, import the changed xml and "allow overwight". Remember to refresh the page to see how the changes affected the column.

I have same problem
Does anyone have the same problem with me?

[Seven Skins]

Install this on default style and see if it works. if it works then you know you will have to fix something in your custom style.

And make sure you add these in the correct place.

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_start}
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

[mirajane]

as I understand.. it was just like sidebar right??

[WIJI SEJATI]

Done and Thank You very much.

I just upgraded from vb3.8 to 4.1.7 Patch level 2 and noticed that there is a small error in instructions:

Find in footer template (top of footer template):
HTML Code:
{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
Add above:
HTML Code:
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

As the footer is now:
<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
<div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}">
{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
{vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
</div>
</vb:if>
<div id="footer" class="floatcontainer footer">

.. you have to add that {vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

above <div id="footer" class="floatcontainer footer">

because otherwise it is inside that if-clause and it won't work if you don't have an ad on footer.

One question: How to center title and content?

[Wajow-community]

i have a login system there and i need a avatar link.. but nothing works.

How can a fix that {vb:raw post.avatarurl} works under Right Column?

[lem]

I've attached a picture of my problem. I have this problem with both the right column and left column plugins.

Any ideas? It's like something isn't being cleared out.

[pcalloway]

Got this hack working perfectly - thanks muchly.

Question - is it possible to set the conditional to display on the 'get new posts' results page? My users use New Posts a ton - great opportunity for additional impressions and clickthroughs.

[John Lester]

After updating to 4.1.10 I noticed an odd issue. On forum home the column aligns perfectly. However when I click on some forums (forum display ... or do I have those 2 reversed :D ) (about 25% of my forums) the alignment is off. But it's not always off by the same amount, on some forums the column is too low, on others it's too high.

So I thought it was the custom template, so I reverted to the default and went though each forum via forum mgr and set the style to default. Still have the same issue.

So I thought perhaps it was only forums with sub forums (initial look just happened to be sub forums) but alas some forums without sub forums have the alignment issue, and some but not all forums with sub forums have the alignment issue.

Anyone else run into this?

[bperkins88]

how can I make the right sidebar look like the left sidebar?

[bperkins88]

uninstalled due to it not showing up properly on Showthread on 4.1.9

just shows a space to the right side, not sidebar.

[Evo-L]

Looks like it hasn't been updated in 2 years. Can we get an update for 4.1.10? Please :)

[dano9258]

The sidebar boxes are to the right, but way down below the forums area. How do I make it right next to?

Thanks for this mod. works great on vb.4.2 pl3. The only thing is that the place where to insert this code {vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end} in the footer has to be placed above <div class="below_body">

This is the only way worked for me on vb.4.2pl3

Thanks again,

I'm late to the game here... but I want to thank the OP for creating this! I think my advertisers will like it... not so sure about the readers LOL... but I gotta feed the family!

[JMUJEEP]

this is a great mod. its the perfect place to add our site's sponsors and partner links. i do have a quick question

i'm currently running VB 4.0.5. has anyone tried to get information from the "What's Going On" section to display in a side bar? specifically i'd like to display total number of members, total threads, total post, and list the users currently online.

anyone have any luck with this?

I have the suggest exact problem. Would be appreciate if the developer would investigate this common problem, not everyone is a style designer and has the appropriate diagnostic skills.

I just a quick question. when I disable the vb board, is that right column supposed to be showing?

I can't seem to understand why it would show when the board is off!!

Main purpose of this mod is to display ads without caching, but if you want you may wrap the code in the if statement like below to all 3 templates of this hack.

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['bbactive'] == 0">

Code here

Hi, I'm trying to, install the Mod, but not got to find the right place.

This is my navbar, end :

<div class="body_wrap">
{vb:raw ad_location.ad_navbar_below}
{vb:raw ad_location.global_below_navbar}

<vb:if condition="$show['notices'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">


<form action="profile.php?do=dismissnotice" method="post" id="notices" class="notices">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="dismissnotice" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" id="dismiss_notice_hidden" name="dismiss_noticeid" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="{vb:raw return_link}" />
<ol>
{vb:raw notices}
</ol>
</form>
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_start}
</vb:if>


And this is my footer, first line:
<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
<div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}">
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}
{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
{vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
</div>
</vb:if>

I used vb 4.2.2

[Seven Skins]

This is how it should be in navbar:

<vb:if condition="$show['notices'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">
<form action="profile.php?do=dismissnotice" method="post" id="notices" class="notices">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="dismissnotice" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" id="dismiss_notice_hidden" name="dismiss_noticeid" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="{vb:raw return_link}" />
<ol>
{vb:raw notices}
</ol>
</form>
</vb:if>

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_start}


And footer:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
<div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}">
{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
{vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
</div>
</vb:if>
