Thanks.

I have another problem that I have only just noticed due to the fact that I use Firefox.

It's not displaying properly in IE. I'm not saying it's this plugin, but I wonder if anyone else had the same problem? Basically, If I have too many sidebar blocks, and it goes down further than the forum itself, then the blocks are screwed up and displayed HORIZONTALLY below "What's Going On".

Like I say, it's absolutely perfect in Firefox, problem is with IE.

Does anyone have a testing site that they could test this on?

I'd really like to find out if it's a problem with just my site or a vb-wide one.

[Videx]

If I hit "New Posts" on my forum right now the sidebar is a lot longer than the center. But it's still all vertical in both IE and FF. Default style.

Hmm, strange one. I have the issue in both custom and default styles. The two blocks currently being screwed with are Tag Cloud and Forum Posts. Will need to test with different blocks to see if it's an issue specifically with these ones.

I'm on 4.0.6 now too.:confused:

Wow. Looks like it's just those two blocks that suffer. Changed the display order so that they were 1 & 2 and the sidebar displays perfectly.:erm:

[Uskana]

Can i activate ESB also on CMS and Blog ? If yes, how?

thnx

No

I think you can use widget for that! Never tried though

[Bram H]

Ha for me this mod works exactly the other way around :) When I enable it and i am not logged in it forces the sidebar perfectly. The moment I login as admin i don't see them anywere anymore ;)

On 4.0.6. with the 1.3.4. mod

[Bram H]

Please ignore my post as I really can't read it seems while its so clear and obvious:

Show ESB for all members and not members. "No" will exclude members.

:D

I think it is my mistake it should be re-phrased to make it easier to read

eg something like

"No" will not be shown for forum members.

What you think?:)

When you hit settings the page will start in "Subscribed Threads"

so you need to disable the sidebar for that you may also need to disable it for "profile"

how did i miss that option ? thank you so much (show in calendar and pm should be disabled too)

[Tech NO Babble]

Thanks for this mod. I liked the sidebar and now can use the extra ad spaces throughout the entire forum!

[MrEyes]

Fantastic mod, it seems crazy that this is not a default option.

All that said, I am going to be really picky as the alignment is just not quite right for me. My current install looks like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/08/13.jpg

I would really like the top of the sidebar to be at the same vertical level as the main conent div to the left of the sidebar.

Anybody got any ideas on how to do that?

[MrEyes]

search this mod thread and you will find the answer

:)

Just incase anybody else is searching the thread for a solution to this vertical alignment of the sidebar issue, the resolution is:

Open the forumhome.css template and find the #sidebar_container declaration, in there change the padding value to suit your site. I set mine to 50px (original value is 17px)

To many ppl asked about this so I add it to main thread

[alamak]

GREAT MOD! Thanks.

Btw, i found a small bug in filtering block with type html / php. This block type is not being filtered correctly due to problem of identifying the block_id.

For block type HTML the html bit after block_id is looks like this
class="blockbody floatcontainer restore"
instead of
class="blockbody floatcontainer"

Hence adding the following line to after line 553 seems to do the trick!

if ($blockid=='') {$blockid = strip_blockid($block,'<div id="block_','" class="blockbody floatcontainer restore">');}

[alamak]

Another thing to fix would be not to display sidebar on certain pages where no block is displayed due to filter!

For example sidebar is enabled for forumdisplay but the filter is such that on certain forumid, there should be no block! In that case we have an empty column which isn't nice.

you don't need this in 1.3.4

[torontojungle]

Im having a real hard time with this. I love the functionality this mod provides, but on my home screen, the sidebar actually shows up at the bottom of the forum.

Is there a plan to resolve this, or a functional work around?

Thanks again, great mod.

If you searched this mod thread you will see that this has been answered several times

Anyway

It is either due to one of these:

1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look, ESB needs to see this in forumhome
<div id="pagetitle">

2. You are using a nother mod that is changing the look of froumhome

[Bankfodder]

Sorry to add to the weight of questions.

I want to configure your mod to display different blocks for different forums.

I have tried applying the filter - block_html_6:275,

However, block 6 still displays in all forums when I think that it should only display in forum 275 - so I'm not at all clear as to what I am doing wrong.

Are you able to give any advice on this?

Also, I have sent you a private message about some related matters

Yes

Please add this in "Filter Blocks by pages"
block_html_6:

Add this in "Filter Blocks by forums"
block_html_6:275

See how it goes

If it works you can add the pages you want to enable the block in like for faq you will use block_html_6:faq
Regards

[Bankfodder]

Thanks I'll try it. Did you see my PM?

[Bankfodder]

Tried that, but block 3 and block 6 are still both visible on the home page and in forum 275.

I am trying to get block 6 only visble in forum 275 only.

There's clearly something I don't understand here.

My aim is eventually to try to get different blocks to appear in each of 5 or 6 level 2 forums to aid the sense of cohesion of the entire site and to aid navigation. The aim is that as well as menu options changing, they will be colour coded to the forum and will reflect the forum that they are associated with.

[Lqd]

What a great mod! Unfortunatly when I install it, it places the sidebar below my footer on forumhome and showtread. I do have to add I have a custom theme. Could you provide me the info which template to edit and below which line more a less (keywords will do) this way I can have it working on my custom style. (btw; 4.0.5 is my vb version)(http://dev.hard.fm)

thank you, looking forward for a reply!

I have this same problem on a custom skin. Any ideas on how to fix?

[dvsDave]

My users are asking for persistence of sidebar preferences. If they close it, they are expecting it to stay closed for the duration of the time they are logged in. How can I do this?

It does that for me. No probs. My problem is that I still can't get it to hide on chaosen forums. I still have to organise access details for the mod developer.

[dvsDave]

I just upgraded from 1.14 to 1.34 and it now works for me. I hadn't realized I wasn't running the latest code.

I still get a "Flash of Unstyled Content" when the page loads. the sidebar shows for a second then hides. Is there anything that can be done about that?

Yes, I get that too. It's not a problem but I suppose that if it were resolved, it would be better

[Toupsx]

It's a nice mod.. however with a custom style like mine it hardly works..
Since it uses "pagetitle" to find where to put the sidebar it does not work for my style; I have edited the plugin hook to have it moved however that leads to more problems:

In my style it has pagetitle for some locations (forumdisplay, memberlist, etc.) and then doesn't have pagetitle for others (forumhome, showthread, etc.) so by changing id=pagetitle to something else I can either have it work in some locations or other locations but not all.

[vexxy]

Did you check some other mod is effecting your forumhome template?

what is your forum url?

Has anybody face similar problem?
sorry for the late response, but i have the same problem with everywhere sidebar on the forumhome, works perfect everywhere else (vbulletin 4.0.6, ev sidebar 1.3.4)

forum url: www.bytesin.com

edit: fixed the problem, it seem I have removed the <div id="pagetitle"> from forumhome ;)

I used timer to run force expand for some reasone frankly I don't remember why:D. Look for
setTimeout("force_expand();",500);

change it to
force_expand();

it search for
<div id="pagetitle">

in forumhome plugin not everywhere. Every page has its own search term.

What you need to do is go to manage plugins from admincp and change the plugin of ESB for everypage that is not working for you

Still haven't got it to display differently on different pages - still haven't sorted out access details either ....

Your side bar is a secuirty risk to the forum.

(1) Exclude does not work - private posts are entered into the
sidebar, even when the post is deleted, it still remains on the
sidebar. I guess you could place a x on each post in the sidebar
so that admin can delete what does not need to be there, but if
it automaticly removed the post to begin with, then we would not
need such an option.

When you add better privacy measures, then I will
test again.

Thank-You

The sidebar is a vb4 sidebar and not mine!!!

This mod i just displaying the original sidebar that comes with vb4 everywhere in the forum.

So if what you are saying is true, which I don't think so. Then you blame vbulletin not this mod

I am not vb's beta tester, I do not care what they do...
its not like it provides anything unique content to the forum anyway...
most do not even like it as it looks bulky...

It is as simple as that

[Damsella]

I love this mod, thanks so much, it is brilliant!

The only small problem I have is that in Firefox, on Showthread, it loads the forum wide and then afterwards (less than one second, but easily seen) it loads the side bar and the forum goes narrow. So everything jumps around.

It works fine on every other page - the sidebar loads and the forum loads to the right of it. And it works fine in IE.

Is there any way to get the sidebar to load first on Showthread? I have looked with Firebug but can't work it out.

(I have read through this thread but can't see the answer.)

play with 500 ms to smaller number or remove the timer for good and change it to

or you search for sidebarext_temp tmeplate from your admincp and change it from there

It works great everywhere but we can't get the rest of the functionality.

I think that we may start writing our own one.

In settings I said "NO" to show in profile pages.

but on member profile pages , it still shows the sidebar.

This is very confusing, I checked the settings and everything should be fine.

i am running on vb seo latest version maybe thats the reason????

This is an awesome mod! Way to go! I have a couple of questions:

1) How do I adjust the width of it? Is it possible to fixed width or fluid width? If so, how do I adjust it accordingly?
2) I would love to have one on each side...is this possible? An option? If so, how do we install it to make it available both on the left and right sides?

Hi almannai,

This is such an awesome mod. Thank you!

I made sure to search the comments first for an answer to my issue but can't find it. Right now, the mod displays properly on all the pages. The issue I'm having is displaying a block only on certain forums. I'm trying to display a Latest Threads block (block_newthreads_12) for a specific forum so I put in "block_newthreads_12:1" without quotes into the "Filter blocks by forums" field. However, that block still shows up on all the forums.

Mod version: 1.3.4
VB version: 4.0.5
Forum url: http://www.theschoolboards.com/forum.php

Also, is there a way to show a block for a forum and its child forums rather than have to specify the id of each of the child forums along with the parent forum? If you look at my site, if I want to show a block for the parent "Homeroom - SF Bay Area" and all its child forums, is there a easier way to go about it?

Thanks again!

For the record, my issue is to also remove sidebar from our mobile style, and this also did not help.

[Hoffi]

If i Hide the Sidebar with the arrows and loads the page new, the Sidebar shows a short time, and then disappers. Thats a little bit crappy. Has anyone a solution for that?

Where is the width of the sidebar controlled? In what file? Css? And, how do I change it?

Some of my users have the same problem.
It seems this depends on the css rendering of the user browser and the power of the machine they use to display the forum.
For example :
A fast pc with chrome has no issue rendering the page with the sidebar masked with the arrow.
(It seems that IE has no issue either)
A fast pc with firefox will see a fast appear/disappear sidebar
An old pc with firefox will see a slow and annoying appear/disappear sidebar

No solution yet

not sure but check this

open forumhome.css in the style you want to change or use the master style to effect all styles and look for sidebar width

The issue I'm having is displaying a block only on certain forums. I'm trying to display a Latest Threads block (block_newthreads_12) for a specific forum so I put in "block_newthreads_12:1" without quotes into the "Filter blocks by forums" field. However, that block still shows up on all the forums.

Mod version: 1.3.4
VB version: 4.0.5
Forum url: http://www.theschoolboards.com/forum.php

Also, is there a way to show a block for a forum and its child forums rather than have to specify the id of each of the child forums along with the parent forum? If you look at my site, if I want to show a block for the parent "Homeroom - SF Bay Area" and all its child forums, is there a easier way to go about it?

Thanks again!

you didn't searched very well :)
try to place this in page filter
block_newthreads_12:

let me know how it goes

Screenshot here.

Thanks again!



For the record, my issue is to also remove sidebar from our mobile style, and this also did not help.

I have to look at this again and see what may go wrong

[almannai]

Where is the width of the sidebar controlled? In what file? Css? And, how do I change it?

Chris

not sure but check this
form admincp
open forumhome.css in the style you want to change or use the master style to effect all styles and look for sidebar width


If i Hide the Sidebar with the arrows and loads the page new, the Sidebar shows a short time, and then disappers. Thats a little bit crappy. Has anyone a solution for that?

Some of my users have the same problem.
It seems this depends on the css rendering of the user browser and the power of the machine they use to display the forum.
For example :
A fast pc with chrome has no issue rendering the page with the sidebar masked with the arrow.
(It seems that IE has no issue either)
A fast pc with firefox will see a fast appear/disappear sidebar
An old pc with firefox will see a slow and annoying appear/disappear sidebar

No solution yet

this been answered before.
seach for
setTimeout("force_expand();",500);

change it to
force_expand();

Hi almannai,

Sorry I didn't search carefully enough. I didn't realize I needed to put "block_newthreads_12:" on the page filter section as well. That did the trick of showing the block only in the forums I specify in the forum filter section.

The other question I had was inheritance - is there a way to do inheritance so that all the subforums within a parent forum also display that block?

Thanks again.

How to have it on the left side ? I'm using arabic fonts and original sidebar on the left, once this MOD is installed is switches to right side.

[ravencr]

not sure but check this
form admincp
open forumhome.css in the style you want to change or use the master style to effect all styles and look for sidebar widthCouldn't find anything that allows me to change the width...it's set like this: stylevar forum_sidebar_width...where do I set the width in pixels?

First make sure you install mod last version 134

second if it changed after installation of the mod (which I doubt) go to Forum Sidebar and Block Options and change it back to left it should work

Couldn't find anything that allows me to change the width...it's set like this: stylevar forum_sidebar_width...where do I set the width in pixels?

Chris

ok
To change it in all styles: from MASTER STYLE select stylevars
in search stylevar box put "forum_sidebar_width" hit enter now select "forum_sidebar_width" from left list this should display the sidebar settings on the right pan. You should be able to change sidebar width from there

[ravencr]

Thank you veyr much...this is a great mod!

Hi

tried msg you yesterday cause I had problems finding this post again, but I did finally ;)

If for any reason you changed the sidebar template "sidebarext_temp" then it want update for the new installation. Uninstall remove "sidebarext_temp" template if exist then reinstall.

What I understand that this mod was working before you upgraded to 4.0.7 and now not working. Is this what you are saying?

I don't know if there is any problem with 4.0.7!!!

Can somebody else confirm if this mod is working on 4.0.7 or not?

I tried the few suggested changes that I found in these 41 pages including putting block_html_3 in the filter blocks by forum section and the filter blocks by page section, with all of the yes/no options above set to both yes and no and any combination I can think of and still can't get it to work.

I love this mod but I just don't seem to know the trick to getting a single forum block to show up on a single forum.

I can get the block_html_3 to show up on all pages, but I can't get it to show up on just one page.

I have tried the "Filter Blocks by Forums" box and the "Filter Blocks by pages" box and neither has any effect.

Can you point me in the right direction?

I also noticed that BatCave asked something along these same lines and never got the answer even after asking a second time.

I am currently on page 37 of 41 pages of this mod and have yet to find the answer to what must be something that I am fundamentally doing wrong. Unless nobody is utilizing the mod for the ability to have unique blocks showing up in just one forum or page?

Please help,
Thank you!

I am now at 7 hours of working on this issue, I have read all 41 pages on this mod, I have re-read many of them, I have tried every combination I can think of to make this happen.

Can someone please help me on this? I would post my screen settings but I have tried every single screen combination possible so sending that would be of no use at this point.

[Santori]

Ok, I try to help you! I do this by my own, but it´s simple.

You must know what are the id from the formus first.

This is an example 1:

-You have the block for the new posts of forum A ;block_newposts_3
-You want to see this block in forum A: id 7
-You don´t want to see this block in the forumhome.

You must put this

Filter block by forum : block_newposts_3: 7 This allows to see block 3 in forum A
Filter block by page : block_newposts_3: blockid This delete the block for all other pages

Be carefull with the space between "3: 7".

This is example 2.

-You have the general block for the new posts of all forum; block_newposts_4
-You want to see this block in forumhome.(this is considerated a page)
-You don´t want to see this block in any other area or subforum.

You must put this

Filter block by forum: block_newposts_4: blockid This delete the block from any area except the forumhome.

The Final Configuration is :

Block 4 in forumhome and Block 3 in forum A

This is

Filter block by forum : block_newposts_3: 7
block_newposts_4: blockid

Filter block by page: block_newposts_3: blockid

And after this Kung-fu configuratión the forum works 100%

[typecast]

Santori,

I REALLY appreciate you trying to help me!

I'm just trying to get your scenario #1 working and it just doesn't.

I am a little confused by you saying

"Be carefull with the space between "3: 7"."

I didn't think there was supposed to be any spacing between the : and the 7. However I tried it both ways and neither one works.

I also notice that you said to put

block_newposts_3: blockid

isn't there supposed to be a colon : behind blockid?

like this below?

block_newposts_3: blockid:

Again I tried it every which way and could not get it to work.

My block_html_8 remains visible in all forums.

Hello ; maybe will be a specific bug for my forum:

The original code maybe put as the coder says:

block_newposts_3:blockid

But in my forum doesn?t works. I need in my case to put an space.

block_newposts_3: blockid

in oder case:

block_newposts_3: 7,8,9,10,11,12

[typecast]

To show block_html_8 on only faq page I would do this

on forum filter it will be
block_html_8:

on page filter it will be
block_html_8:faq

I entered it exactly as you said and the block_html_8 shows up throughout my forum on every page.

I'm using the latest mod version of your software, I just downloaded it 3 days ago and I'm running VB 4.07.

If someone can help me get this working there is $50 usd in it for them. I really want to get it where I can have multiple blocks showing on individual pages not just all blocks showing on all pages. I am under the impression that this mod can do this.

I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the mod and that made no difference.

Be patient pls..

This must be so sort of bug

First you are sure about the block name! right?

If so...

Can you pls try this

on forum filter it will be

block_html_8:0

on page filter it will be

block_html_8:0

If not working try this

on forum filter it will be

block_html_8: 0,0

on page filter it will be

block_html_8: 0,0

This should hide the block everywhere

If any of this works then we will change it to allow the page you want it on

I am having an issue...

I have a sidebar and I want specific usergroups to be able to close it and not have the sidebar show...

So I have those usergroups specifed to be able to turn off the sidebar... those users see the << on the site to turn off the side bar... they click on it and the sidebar is hidden which is GREAT...

However if they load any page the sidebar shows for a second and then colapses. How do I make it so that if they don't want to show the sidebar that it does not show instead of showing it for a second and then having it hide itself?

Also my Block templates are showing up as uncached for the sidebar. How do I cache them?

[typecast]

Almannai,

I disabled the Google Adwords adds because you said they were causing problems with this mod but that didn't fix the problem at all.

Can you suggest something else?

[predpriemach]

I was the first reported the problem...

On reverted 4.0.8 after several reinstalls i still got the same result, maybe Igel1 use it only on home page or not fully revert his template to new version.....

[DesignWerks]

I am having the same issues on my test site with a clean install of the latest ESB and the stock VB4.08 style.

It seems that the sidebar css styles have been moved to sidebar.css and out of the forumhome.css template so perhaps that is a clue?

[Igel1]

OK, I use a separate style with lots of changes.

Try the following times:
Addiction and opens the Template: sidebarext_temp

then this part
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}forumbits.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.css" />

against this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}forumbits.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.css ,sidebar.css" />

replace

Done

Btw...I need the main variable name for switching this mod off...may I know it?I'm using mobile style from dartho, and to sitwch off the mod, I need the variable name. like :



For the record, my issue is to also remove sidebar from our mobile style, and this also did not help.




I have to look at this again and see what may go wrong



I have been looking at this on my site, as I have been having the same issue. I think the problem does not lay here with the ESB mod, nor with the mobile style by Dartho, I think the problem lays with the auto-detection hack by Dartho. Here's why I think this:

- on my iPhone, if I go to my site, I get the sidebar on the mobile.

- if I log in on my iPhone with my admin account, I get the sidebar on the mobile.

- if I go directly to the style id by editing the url to add ?styleid=xx the sidebar goes away

- if I log out of the admin account, the sidebar comes right back

You can even test this by looking at the mobile style in your PC browser, the sidebar will not be there if you manually choose your mobile style or preview it by the Style Manager link.

So if, as an Admin, I go directly to the mobile style, I do not see the sidebar. However, if I do not manually choose the style, and let the auto-detection hack do the job of assigning my style, the sidebar shows up at the bottom of my page.

I have also tried it by enabling style choice at a regular user level, and then choosing the style with the selector, and again, a manual choice works, the sidebar is ignored. If the style is assigned automatically by the detection hack, the sidebar shows up.

Go to post #656 and follow instructions.

This made it work for me. :)

tried that but only worked on some area but not all like the member profile area

[almannai]

I have been looking at this on my site, as I have been having the same issue. I think the problem does not lay here with the ESB mod, nor with the mobile style by Dartho, I think the problem lays with the auto-detection hack by Dartho. Here's why I think this:

- on my iPhone, if I go to my site, I get the sidebar on the mobile.

- if I log in on my iPhone with my admin account, I get the sidebar on the mobile.

- if I go directly to the style id by editing the url to add ?styleid=xx the sidebar goes away

- if I log out of the admin account, the sidebar comes right back

You can even test this by looking at the mobile style in your PC browser, the sidebar will not be there if you manually choose your mobile style or preview it by the Style Manager link.

Frankly, This is the best mod I ever Installed in my site.

Ich habe 2 big problems. The sidebar plugin destroys my layout. Just take a look at the att. The problem is, I could add to the additional.css some lines like padding:53px; but the problem is, that it doesn't fit then on postbit, threadbit and so on.

The second problem....take a look at the att. file.....do you see the custom forum icon? after i activate the plugin it drops the custom forum icon on the bottom of some of the forums.

Can you help me out with this?

[melbo]

Can we run a conditional in individual blocks in this sidebar mod?
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">

I'm thinking of a registration prompt image for guests only

edit: Figured it out with Lynne's suggestion of calling block2_html.

[stb74]

I have only noticed that with Everywhere sidebar enabled my forum status icons on forum home are not being displayed properly.

Any ideas, thanks

[jetlej]

Phenomenal plugin! Marked installed.

I need to change this plug-in so that it inserts the sidebar right before the breadcrumbs. I don't want my sidebar to be pushed down whenever there are messages/alerts and this is the only work-around I can think of.

Any suggestions? I've tried some re-arranging with the code with my so-so PHP knowledge but to no avail. Thanks so much for taking the time to help out!

Thanks :)

[demonfatal]

They are a problem in "member.php" (MEMBERINFO) with the new vbulletin update 4.0.8.
The right sidebar is at the bottom right of the page and if the sidebar is closed they are a big CSS problem too...

Please almannai can you check about that?

[4WheelFreestyle]

Anyone knows the correctt position for this part of the code changes?


3. Open custom page php file and before the render command add

PHP Code:
$templater->register('sidebarext', $sidebarext);
$templater->register('sidebaropen', $sidebaropen);
assuming you are using $templater as variable change it as required

save and upload you php file

I don?t know where to put it and is the custom php page the "misc.php".

[markbu]

using 1.3.3, any idea why the sidebar shows on manual searches but doesn't appear when viewing the pages showing all the threads with a particular tag?

[caciocode]

Great mod!

[FReeSTER]

Thanks for the mod, is working great but I have add a HTML block to be use with google adsence and works perfect in Forumhome but any other templates is there but the google adsence dont show up.

Any ideas how to fix that?

[Desibabu19]

I have a question, Within a block if I have two images to display and based on the forumid, I want to display one and not the other.

The following won't work for me. what mistake I did ?

example 1:

<vb:if condition="in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(31,14,17))">
.. display image 1
<vb:else />
..
display image2
</vb:if>


Example 2:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['foruminfo']['forumid']=99">
..
display image1
<vb:else />
..
display image2
<vb: if >

[amjadz4]

Does this work fine with 4.0.8?

[btlewand]

I'm getting an issue when displaying on the home page of the forum in Internet Explorer. The graphic kicks over slightly to the left so I've disabled it but would like to display on the forum home page since it works ok with all other browsers. Has anyone else had this issue. Sorry if this is posted in a previous reply but I wasn't able to browse through th 40+ responses. Thanks.

[Desibabu19]

For some blocks I created it does not display the blockid. See attachment.

For two blocks, the display is,

blockid:block_

How do I find out the id for these blocks ?

Im trying to get a block to only show up on specific forum pages. In the 'Filter Blocks by Forum" box I have this

block_html_12:19

But its showing up on the main forum page. Maybe I am misunderstanding how it works, but I thought that I could set up blocks to only show up on specific forums. Is there something else I need to do to make it work this way, and not show up on the main forum page?

Thanks

[Hausgarten]

Nice Plugin. At the moment I can only set a sidebar for members, guests or both; thats the problem I have with Wespennest entfernen (http://www.wespennest-entfernen.info). I would appreciate to see the feature to set two different sidebars for members and guests.

Why? Members like the functions of the sidebar and guests should see ads instead.

Solution: select the blocks by usergroup

Thanks a lot

[Dexter_kcd]

I have been looking at this on my site, as I have been having the same issue. I think the problem does not lay here with the ESB mod, nor with the mobile style by Dartho, I think the problem lays with the auto-detection hack by Dartho. Here's why I think this:

- on my iPhone, if I go to my site, I get the sidebar on the mobile.

- if I log in on my iPhone with my admin account, I get the sidebar on the mobile.

- if I go directly to the style id by editing the url to add ?styleid=xx the sidebar goes away

- if I log out of the admin account, the sidebar comes right back

You can even test this by looking at the mobile style in your PC browser, the sidebar will not be there if you manually choose your mobile style or preview it by the Style Manager link.

Dexter...


For those having trouble with this on Mobile skins, if you are using the auto-detection hack by Dartho, here is your solution.

The ESB hack is only checking the style choice according to the user's stated preference in their control panel. The auto-detect hack overwrites that if you are on a mobile device, but does not actually change your saved style setting. So as far as ESB knows you are not using the mobile style, and setting the ESB preferences to ignore style XX has no effect.

So, to fix this, go into your Style Manager, choose your mobile style, and Edit Templates. Find the ESB template which is named "sidebarext_temp." Edit that template, and remove all code from the template. Save the template. This should stop the ESB from showing up at all in your mobile style, since there will be no code to render for the ESB template in that style.

Dexter...

I have installed ES long time ago on my board and I love it. Never had any serious problems with it. But for the past few days I get a lot of database errors coming from external.php and rss feeds. I don't know how it is possible but these errors appear only when ES is enabled. If I disable ES - errors don't show up anymore. I think there's something wrong with box cache. If I disable one of the cached sidebar boxes external.php works once. Every consecutive request results in error.

Has anyone ancountered this error? Any ideas? Any help? I have a "bigboard" - north of 1200 people online during the peak times...

Errors are:

Fixed the issue with sidebar opening and displaying at the bottom of the page.

OK, I use a separate style with lots of changes.

Try the following times:
Addiction and opens the Template: sidebarext_temp

then this part
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}forumbits.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.css" />

against this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}forumbits.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.css ,sidebar.css" />

replace

Done

[draver]

I have a error from http://validator.w3.org with this plugin aktiv.

" 1. Error Line 706, Column 110: document type does not allow element "link" here

?text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style00002l/forumhome-rollup.css" />



The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).

One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).

I Love the Everywhere Sidebar!

At first it didn't show up on explorer, but I made the change suggested in posts 646 and now it works great there as well. I have just one issue --

It is showing up on all the pages I want it to, except the showthread page (I think that's the correct name, but I could be wrong.) It's the page that lists all the threads in a forum. The page that comes up after you click on a forum on the forumhome page.
How can I get it to show up on this page?

Thanks!!!

[dannycutts]

well with the new update... the everywhere sidebar shit itself so now uninstalled... disapointed really as if it worked it was perfect

My advice to the developer dont start something you cant finish

[scottct1]

I upgraded to vb 4.1 last night and now the collapse option is being shown for everyone including those that I don't want to ba able to colapse the side bar.

Any ideas?

Put this in additional.css

My apologies if this is mentioned already, I tried searching;

I'm running vb 4.0.2 and I've been happy with ESB 114. I installed the 1.3.4 version and my sidebar won't show up. It's activated, and it's not showing at the bottom either.

I've installed a fresh "out of the box" vb 4.0.2 installation on a dev server and it's the same result so I know it's not my theme or other plugins.

The default vb sidebar shows up just fine, but not ESB 1.3.4

Any ideas? And again, I've got a fresh install of vb, no other plugins or modifications added except for ESB 134.

Here are some screenshots.

Guys I got this working in 4.0.8 using the hack on posts 656

BUT

On the homepage the sidebar block is perfectly aligned but on every other section of the forum it's a bit high up and too close to the numerical page numbers. If I use sidebar.css to drop the sidebar block a little on every other section of the forum it unfortunately drops the block on the homepage (which makes the homepage sidebar out of line). IE: CSS is connected.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

[SNATCH3R]

When will the updated version will be relased which can support 4.0.8 and higher.....currently I had disabled the mod from my site..as the sidebar is appearing misaligned and appears at the bottom the page.....

[mccollin]

Just looking at this with firebug... it looks like there is some additional CSS that is not getting called in the content_container and content divs. The CSS that is not getting called is the #content_container CSS. If you disable this CSS in the forum home with sidebar, it makes the sidebar act exactly like the way the broken sidebar everywhere is doing now. I am not sure how to fix it because that CSS doesn't appear in the XML file anywhere. If anyone following this is good with CSS, maybe you can suggest how we can patch it until the developer comes in with a new release.

I'm pretty much ready to go live with upgrading my forum to vb 4, and really need this before I can proceed to maintain my existing ads that are already bought.

[DefenceTalk]

Thanks for the plugin!

Two questions:

How do I include php code or php file in the sidebar?

And can I use conditionals?

I upgraded one of my forums to 4.1 and looking for a solution to those two issues.

Thank you.
