Everywhere Sidebar 4 VB4

[maryx]

I use Everywhere Sidebar, a great, great mod. It works perfectly except for one thing - it does not display correctly on the forumdisplay pages. Instead of appearing on the right side it appears below the page data.

Anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?:eek:
Thanks!!

[mccollin]

Did you read the thread? The last page of posts explain the answer to your question. This mod is broken in vb 4.1 and the developer said they were planning a new release by the end of the year to fix it.

My bad!:confused: But I run 4.08.

I am thinking that this authors comment would help me, but I am a novice at this, and don't understand what to do with this information. Can anyone tell me specifically what to do here? Exactly what and where do I need to put something in forumdisplay in order to get the sidebar to show up on the side.
Thanks!!!!

Most asked question:

Q:I've installed your sidebar mod and it works fine except on the forumhome! The sidebar is showing at the bottom of the page. Any idea how to fix it?

A:It is either due to one of these:
1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look.
2. You are using another mod that is changing the content of froumhome before this ESB.

ESB needs to see this in forumhome
PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle">
So to fix this problem you either need to make sure that
PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle">
exist in the correct location or change ESB forumhome plugin to search for a new phrase.

[mccollin]

Actually, my bad... I was wrong and apparently didn't read those questions. The plug in is exhibiting the behaviour you describe with 4.1 everywhere, so that is what I thought you were referring to. Hopefully someone can help you find a solution.

how can i put the latest album pictures as a block on the sidebar you made?

Im looking to display images from the albums like this mod

[Zweeper]

awesome hack, but im waiting for the new version since this one is not working with 4.1

[amjadz4]

Whats not there in the lite version? and whats to come in the Gold?

Thanks for the update!! :)

[DefenceTalk]

It does work with 4.1...

Whats not included in the lite version?

[mccollin]

Looks like it doesn't include the Thread Display... also the Calendar isn't working for me, but the other Forum pages are working... nice. I'm on 4.1PL2

[demonfatal]

Great thank you almannai for the update for vB4.1!!!

EDIT: "Forumdisplay 1 LEVEL" & "Showthread" & "Profile" are needed PLEASE!

[mccollin]

Yes, a big thank you. Can't wait for the final.

[dannycutts]

Has it been updated now?

[bkavn]

Thanks for new version
But I hope the final version will be released early and include showthread :)

[btlewand]

Does the new version work only with 4.1 forward or is it backwards compatible (i.e. 4.08)?

[amjadz4]

Works on 4.1 ... lite version doesnt work on thread display.

@mccollin Calendar works for me.

Thanks for the update! waiting for Gold! :)

[dannycutts]

new version does not work for me... in fact when I uninstalled it I did not notice any change....

[dannycutts]

strange how this is just not a standard feature with Vbulletin we pay all that cash to them and it is about as flexible as a 6 inch steel....lol maybe one day it will be standard :-)

[DefenceTalk]

Yeah, they made a half-ass "sidebar" for WHAT? As if users don't want latest replies and threads and other crap when they are viewing forum display and thread pages. It doesn't make any sense. I guess the developers want to keep some things open so people who DO need it would go out and look for their "side" businesses and pay extra.

It is also missing some features, which I ASSUME are not there or not possible. I made a post about it on vb and here but no answer. The two issues I am having is being able to use conditionals and php includes. I know that php includes MAYBE possible but there is mention of it in the manual so, I feel betrayed and regret buying upgrade from 3.8 to 4.1 for ONE of my forums.

They wasted too much effort on PoS CMS and I think that is why forum part has suffered.

[texasteamplayer]

appears the mod dev meant to say...

"when installing the new Lite version, UNINSTALL your previous version of ESB".

this installs itself as a new mod, and not as an overwriting update to an existing mod.

Why, developer?

[texasteamplayer]

and this lite version is missing core functions that make it not worth switching to.

no side bar in thread displays? profile pages?

[texasteamplayer]

wierd. installing one removes the other from options...but looking at plugin manager, they are listed as separate mods.

this release is messed up. I recommend sticking with the current 1.3.4.

Guys this released version is for people wants to use sidebar for 1.4.1 and can't wait for the full release.
The full version is ready it is just needs more testing time.

[dannycutts]

OK lets hope it works perfectly..... :-)

[mccollin]

almannai, Thanks for releasing this interim version for those of us that are on 4.1. Its working well for me as a temporary solution. It was clear from your post when you announced it that you were giving us something to meet your original year end estimate, but it was missing some features... so no complaints from me, and I applaud you for taking the time to deliver something for year end.

[GlassGossip]

will it be able to get the sidebar to show in thread views as well?

Thank you!!

[almannai]

will it be able to get the sidebar to show in thread views as well?

Thank you!!

the 1.4.1 full version should be same as 1.3.4 or better

[GlassGossip]

did i miss that? Where can i find the 1.4.1 full version? Or is it not released jet? If so do you have an idea when it will be ready?

Thank you so much for doing this

[almannai]

Soon :)

[Zweeper]

something strange happens, it seems like my option menue is missing a lot of options.
for example: "1. First enable showing sidebar for custom pages from mod options."

i dont find this option

[mccollin]

Is anyone reading this thread before they post? The developer has said that he released an interim version with limited function because he had told us he'd have something out by year end. (thank you!!!!) It has "limited" function. He's said that the full version is developed, but not finished being tested, and he's said it will have all the function of the original full version, plus possibly more. Come on folks... let him work on testing the thing instead of answering the same questions over and over.

Stick with 1.3.4 if it works for the vb version you are using.

OK lets hope it works perfectly..... :-)
Don't wory full version 1.4.1 will works better then 1.3.4. The 1.4.1 lite works on vb4.1 but with limited features.

Sorry for the delay I just don't wont to realeas this version without allowing enough time to test it

how can i put the latest album pictures as a block on the sidebar you made?

Im looking to display images from the albums like this mod

Can anyone help??

[osva]

Im having problem installing 1.3.4 on vb4.
When I try to install it says Importing product and the message below.
The thing is that I can see it as installed products but when I go to Settings > Options, I dont see it.

[Zweeper]

yes you are right, i just missed that. of course its no problem, take all your time you need hehe, we are all very, very grateful for this!

[mccollin]

Can anyone help??

You would need to find a way to do the album display in the forum sidebar... and then this mod would pick it up. You'd probably get more help by asking about how to do it in the forum sidebar since everyone would be interested in that.

I just looked and couldn't find any mods to do it... only a mod to show album at the top of forum home.

For what its worth, I use vBGallery from PhotoPost, and their latest version does the forum sidebar images out of the box, as an option. Its a great product if you are into having a lot of images posted. That forum has over 20K images in the gallery and they are blocks for displaying in forum sidebar, forum home, etc.

The 1.4.1 is tested on vb4.1 but it should work with 4.0.8. Try it and see.

Guys "not working" phrase means alot of things pls be more clear about the problem.

What is your vb version?

[Zweeper]

okay, lets say the online user block is a problem of the online user mod.

i have another problem (anyway).

I modified the new post block a bit, just html stuff (if you want, i can make screenshots).

When i open another page than forumhome (any other page where the sidebar is shown), the layout of the new post block is the original one, not the one i modified.

how can i change that?

greetings and thanks for your help so far!

i attached two screenshots to make it more clearly.
these two screenshots SHOULD be actually 100% equal each other, but as you see, the forumhome is different from the forumdisplay (and all others where the sidebar is shown due to this modification).


Okay, the onlie user block is missing (first block in the picture), we talked about this, probably not the business of this modification.

But when you take a look at the "new post" block (Neue Beitr?ge) you can see that it looks totally different. I want it to look on all pages as it looks on the forumhome.



I hope you can understand me now better.

Sorry about not being clear... Everything was working like it should before the upgrade(ver 1.3.4), but after I upgraded it(1.4.1), I could not get it to show up on forum home. What it DID do on the forumhome page was put all of the copyright notice info (powered by VB etc...) on the right hand column where the sidebar should be. I am running VB 4.1.0 pl2.

Very hard to tell how solve this since you changed the forumhome page

But why you want to move copyright to the right? Is it that much worth it?

Sorry I thought you said forum closed.

But what do you mean by forum threads turned off?
I went to Forum Blocks Manager and edited Forum Threads to Active = No, yet it still shows on all pages.

I would suggest that you get the block id then put blockid followed by colon like this
blockid:

in block page filter and forum filter of the mod options

Latest version does not work on vb 4.1. I had earlier versions working on 4.0.x fine, but not the latest. I get a sidebar area but blank, and only on forum home. Not even a blank area on other pages. Have had to remove this till it is fixed.

Oh - I did follow the instructions which said to remove the old version first.

Can you check something

Do you have different type of blocks or one type?

Can you try different type of blocks and see what happens?

I am having an issue with the sidebar appearing at the bottom of the forums on forum home. Displays fine everywhere else. I saw the author's note about the following:

1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look.
2. You are using a nother mod that is changing the content of froumhome before this ESB.

And neither one apply to me. The forumhome template is the default template and I am not using another mod that would modify the forum home. It was working fine before I upgraded to this latest version of it. I am running vb 4.1.0 PL2

Are you sure about this? Have you temperorly disabled all other mods to check that?
Can you pls post your forum url?

[txsbmw]

I am positive. I disabled all other mods (other than the blog and CMS one of course) to see if there was a conflict. They are all re-enabled now since there was no reason to leave them disabled, but my forum is located at http://www.militarylifenetwork.com/portal

I don't see the vb default style in style options!
BW I will upload version 1.4.1 with pl1 right now try it and see if it fix this issue. If the problem pressist let me know and maybe in this case it would be better to disable sidebar for your forum forumhome page.

Also for everyone custom style can work with sidebar it is just the style have to take care of some factors. IT is always better to copy the default style then create the custom style from the copied style.

[txsbmw]

That is due to the fact that we do not allow users to select the default vb style. It does not work in the default style either as I have tested it. Again it was working fine on 4.0.8 PL2 before I updated the mod to the 1.4.1 version

[txsbmw]

Also my custom styles are just the same as default (as they were copied from that) I just changed the header template to include my navigation bars and I changed the colors under StyleVars

for the latest version 1.4.1+ it looks for
{vb:raw navbar}
so if you are setting new style make sure not to remove or change {vb:raw navbar} location to get sidebar in the proper location.

Having slight issues with the positioning of the sidebar.

Works fine in all areas except top positioning. Tried the fix above (forumhome.css) but couldn't find #sidebar_container at all.

Currently have it positioning itself differently for forumhome, subforum and inside a thread as can be seen in images attached.

What I just noticed yet, the bottom bar of vb (Contact, Admin, etc) is appended with 1.4.1pl1 at the end of the sidebar and squeezed.

Again as I stated I only added a navigation bar to the header template. Of course if this were the case (because I modified the header template) then it would work in the default vb theme which has not been modified in any way, however it does not. I have gone ahead and allowed user selection to choose that theme so you can see for yourself that this has nothing to do with my styles which is what I have been trying to say, nor is it due to any mods as I disabled them all and the problem still existed (they have since been re-enabled).

It will not show on the first page of the profile as there is a default sidebar on that page and it will conflict with it. Other pages are ok.

I would gues it is due the size of the sidebar width it seems to be to much wide.

If you changed sidebar width before try to narrow it a bit.

Or it is due to one of the block that is forcing the sidebar to be wider.

[txsbmw]

So is this a bug because on all other pages it shows just fine. It is only forum home that it is doing this? Also if I disable your mod the sidebar shows just fine on forum home (granted it does not show anywhere else). And I am not sure what you mean by a block forcing the sidebar to be wider. If you are talking about the advertisments they are fluid and will stack on top of each other (it is dependant on how wide the sidebar is, so that would not be an issue).

I also did not have this problem before upgrading to the 1.4.1 version of this mod. Also, I did not change the default settings for the vbulletin default style so that should not be an issue.

But to just verify that it is neither of those issues. I changed the default vb style to show only a 150px sidebar and only default vb blocks are enabled. You can see for yourself that neither of those are the issue.

[Damsella]

My problem is that, having upgraded to VB 4.1, and the latest version of Everywhere Sidebar, in IE8 only Forum Home is showing the sidebar properly, all the other sections are showing it at the bottom beneath the content. But it shows fine in Firefox.

Your style not the default vb style

[RichieBoy67]

This has worked perfect for me..I believe many if not all of these problems are due to people not following the instructions completely or not reading the entire release where all of these things are mentioned.. There are steps to take occasionally if you have a custom page or style..

If you are upgrading you have to uninstall the previous version first or it will not display correctly..it is all there if you take 5 minutes and read it..

This is an outstanding mod..

[Damsella]

I realise my style has been adapted a bit, but it's the original default style and it was working fine until I uninstalled Sidebar Everywhere, upgraded to VB CMS and installed the latest Sidebar Everywhere.

If I revert all the styles, do you think it will display correctly? But other people are not using the default style and not having this problem!

You don't need to revert the styles, just reinstall the default vb style and look at your site with that style. If you still have the same issue it is not your style.

There is no vbulletin-sidebar2.js file, and this induces a behind the scenes 404 error, that is not visible in the browser.

To Adjust sidebar top level:

form admincp

open forumhome.css in the style you want to change or use the master style to effect all styles

change the padding size for #sidebar_container as you wish

padding:50px 0;

This doesn't work for me (4.1 PL2). I put this in the bottom of forumhome.css and I see the code show up in Firebug, but its crossed out and overridden by the same CSS that must be occuring later in the code stream. Any idea what other template it may occur in?

almannai, editing the sidebar.css template works well for forumhome.... however, the alignment is breaking in other pages - this is an unmodded stock board.

the container will require different padding depending on the page you are viewing. Worse still, the padding required also varies between FF, IE and Safari

Hope this helps

Hello
I wanted to know how I change the width of the side bar
Upon entering the forum on small screens open side bar can not see well the forum

I decided that if I take off about 30 pixels to see the forum and the better side bar

I'd love to get an answer from where I reduced the width of the side bar

Thanks

[RichieBoy67]

You're right almannai. Thanks for the tip. One more thing, is it possible to remove that line of copyright "everywhere sidebar 1.4.1"?

It is what you have inside, the sideblock that has to be changed...not the sidebar.. I always use % for width of sideblocks instead of pixels.. That way they adjust to different size viewing..

You probably have to pay a fee to have the copyright info removed..Not sure though..anyhow, yeah, check your sideblocks and change the width there..

[go4it]

were i can find this block
what is name ?
tnx:)

[RichieBoy67]

were i can find this block
what is name ?
tnx:)

I believe this was in the instructions in the mod release.. It is in the admincp--forums/moderation--at the bottom you will see forumblocks I believe its called..

When I said the blocks though that could mean going into the templates and editing the specific forumblock template for that specific block, css or even the file depending on what kind of a block it is..some custom blocks may have the code right there in the menu but it is unlikely..

What is the block that is too wide?

-> Error occurs within ALL releases of this mod, INCLUDING the latest release. I tested them one at a time today for verification.
-> Error Occurs in Multiple Browsers: tested in Chrome, IE7, IE8, FF 3.6.3, Opera 10.61
-> also tested on Ipod & Blackberry

Unfortunately, it's not happening to just 1 person, it's happening to MANY people.

It appears that this error occurs whenever anyone views the everywhere sidebar with a Screen Resolution of 800x600 or lower (which means that it screws with peoples ability to view the sites on mobile devices as well.)

I tried changing stylevar> Forum Sidebar Width> to a % rather than px - but changing that causes the sidebar not to display At All.

Side bar always shows at the bottom of the page. Whats the best way to fix this...

This below explanation is pretty vague to me...?


Most asked question:

Q:I've installed your sidebar mod and it works fine except on the forumhome! The sidebar is showing at the bottom of the page. Any idea how to fix it?

A:It is either due to one of these:
1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look.
2. You are using a nother mod that is changing the content of froumhome before this ESB.

ESB needs to see this in forumhome
PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle">
So to tix this problem you either need to make sure that
PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle">
exist in the correct location or change ESB forumhome plugin to search for a new phrase.

for the latest version 1.4.1+ it looks for
PHP Code:
{vb:raw navbar}
and
PHP Code:
{vb:raw footer}
so if you are setting new style make sure not to remove or change
PHP Code:
{vb:raw navbar}
and
PHP Code:
{vb:raw footer}
location to get sidebar in the proper location.

[Webrunner]

It will not show on the first page of the profile as there is a default sidebar on that page and it will conflict with it. Other pages are ok.


I can't get it to show on a user profile page and i really would like that.
What steps can i take to show it?

[reteep]

It doesn't work anymore if you fill in a custom template.

Like:
Type: HTML
Content: xxx (won't show but anything needs to be filled in)
Custom Template: adblock

This worked earlier but with the current version the blocks with a custom template do not show up at all.

Thank you!! Flawless install and worked perfectly right from the get go!

[Forum Lover]

Just an idea to make sure if we can use this hack to show most views threads in each forums.

I mean, for example, when I visit forum A, it will show 5 TOP VIEWED threads on forum A. While visiting forum B, it will show top 5 threads from forum B.

What code I may put on forum blocks? I understand this is not the purpose of this hack, just wander if we can tweak this out. :)

No reply about the copyright? I am about to uninstall this... the copyright plus the fact that the CSS is missing on every sidebar but the Forum Home. See attachment.

[tocheli]

I too would like to know how I can remove the "Everywhere sidebar 1.4.1" link.

[Zweeper]

i think you are not allowed to remove the copyright

[SirSteve]

I will be uninstalling... I didn't pay to have my site unbranded by having another branding on it.

Sucks the CSS is missing.. Looks horrible..

Fix??

sorry if this is stupid, but what exactly is a sidebar?

[vbstuff68]

anyone know how to fix the side bar issue when the forum reaches certain amount of users, the script starts to lag the forum

any idea??

any clue for this fix?

thx

[SirSteve]

This script says it's "supported" but I am not so sure....

[Lifesupporters]

Ya I'd have to agree with most of the last two pages comments. I think the branding is just a bad idea and should not be there or if it must there should be an override within the ACP to disable it.

Also, the .css issue really should be dealt with as the forum index is the only thing that displays correctly, everything else is displaced by stacking avatars and content stretching the bar that much lower. For those of us who have ads on our site and require revenue streams to help offset server costs having an add in the sidebar move below the fold is unacceptable.

If the author ever responds to some of these queries I may even vote MOTM, until such time I'm wavering at uninstall.

Sorry.

Hi, I've just upgraded to 4.1.2 and installed this. It's working perfectly on my main site, but it seems to have also installed onto the nice new mobile style.

How do I remove it from this?

[HenryCell]

Hi, I've just upgraded to 4.1.2 and installed this. It's working perfectly on my main site, but it seems to have also installed onto the nice new mobile style.

How do I remove it from this?

In your Admincp->Settings->options->EveryWhere Sidebar (ESB) options add your mobile style id in Excluded styles option.

[burlesque]

Thanks - that was nice and easy! Fantastic mod!

[lisaundgiorgio]

I want to remove the display of the sidebar for these user groups:
1,3,4 (unregistered, awaiting email & awaiting moderation)

but it's not working :mad:
for unregisterd users - it is displayed always...

although if i try to exclude admin group (id:6) it's working immediately...
(of course when i'm logged in as admin)

any ideas?
i'm still using VB4.1.0PL2... and sidebar 1.4.1_pl1...

[newmomsforum]

I too would like to know how I can remove the "Everywhere sidebar 1.4.1" link.

Not sure if the usage of the file allows you to remove it or not.. The link itself is located in the 'sidebar_global' settings file viewable / Editable under Admin CP > Plugins and Products > Plugin Manager

[Zweeper]

it looks a bit strange in my forum, dont know what to do. any help?

[Bob_R]

If I already have a sidebar on my site with the proper forums "filtered/blocked" do I have to set them again or this mod will just put it everywhere if I'm already set?

[HorizonWebs]

i have it excluded from showing on my mobile style but it still shows up

[Webbstre]

So... I just upgraded from 1.1.4 to 1.4.1 PL1 on my test site, and I am noticing that none of my forum blocks show up in the sidebar anymore. All I get is a small chunk that says Everywhere sidebar. I have included a picture so you can see what I mean:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=126834&stc=1&d=1298274024

[theparentpack]

I would like to know if this mod allows me to create a block of ads that is different for each usergroup?

[vrinteractive]

Has anyone noticed that the sidebar is very slow to load- it holds up our entire site, and loads block-by-block. i'm wondering if there is any caching features built into it that we haven't addressed, or if we could globally enable it and not have it check user permissions.

[pipibunny]

I don't know why I upgrade vbulletin to 4.1.1
I don't see "Forum Block Manager" in "Forums & Moderators". I don't know how to add or edit block
Could everybody help me ? Thank you

[andyjaffs]

I have a problem installing this product.
When I install on VB 4.0.7, I get a Fatal Error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare find_in_array() (previously declared in *****/httpdocs/forums/global.php(29) : eval()'d code:43) in ******/httpdocs/forums/global.php(409) : eval()'d code on line 55

[Webbstre]

Am I to assume that there is no hope for a new version to fix the various problems, or support? I'm still waiting to figure out why the sidebar is doing what it is in the picture in my post above.

[VBUsers]

where can I change the width of the sidebar?

[dilbert]

where can I change the width of the sidebar?
I'd like to know this too.
I searched this thread, but can't find an answer.

Thanks

[VBUsers]

also where is the setting to move the sidebar to the right so i can save a little space that isnt being used?

to make it smaller its in the

style manager ---> your style --> CSS templates ---> sidebar.css --> #sidebar_container (Its the 4th from the bottom of the template )

#sidebar_container > ul {
background:{vb:stylevar sidebar_background};
border:{vb:stylevar sidebar_border};
-moz-border-radius:{vb:stylevar border_radius};
-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
-moz-box-shadow:-2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar shadow_color};
float:{vb:stylevar left};
width:90%;
}


I made mine 90% and it worked. Not sure if there is another way and I would like to know how to move it to the right as well.

[nick-harper]

I just tried this on the latest version and I got:

[cmiller1014]

Unsupported POS now?

[mccollin]

Is anyone able to use the latest version of this with the latest vBulletin? I have it running fine on 4.1.1PL2, and I'm hesitant to upgrade vBulletin now because of this hack potentially breaking. I depend on this for a major part of my revenue so it going away would be bad. Can't believe that this isn't part of vBulletin.

[dilbert]

Can we use conditionals in this mod? If the author is still available, I'd be willing to pay to get this working.

I tried this, but had no luck.

<vb:if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(500,501))">

Thanks shane, i appreciate the help... :)

It works great on forum.php and threaddisplay.php but not showthread.php. See screen shots.

[FTForums]

Hi, I really like the idea of this mod - something I've been looking for since I installed Vbulletin! However, it doesn't seem to be working on my forum. I followed the instructions from stage 1-8 and went to my homepage - the site was down (tried 3 different browsers). If I disabled the mod within it's options (first option just set to No) the forum worked fine again. As soon as I enabled it, the site went down again. I worked out that during the instructions, I had set the option to enable it on Custom pages, turned off this option and enabled the mod, homepage loaded fine. However, now when I go to any of my sub-forums etc, the page is rendered very strangely - the header is halfway down the page etc. Again, when I disable it within the Mod Options, the site is back to normal. Can you give any help?

Thanks

Jason

<vb:if condition="$announcebits">

Have you tried to disable other plugins to see if it is effecting the sidebar?

What is your vb version?

[texasteamplayer]

when was the "Everywhere sidebar 1.4.1" text added to the base of the sidebar?

Why is visible? Why is it not an option to disable this advertisment?

[PanterSi]

@almannai, I have 4.1.1 version. I dont have other plugin, except Multiple Account Detection & Prevention, wich I doubt to have dependencias on sidebar.

[VBUsers]

can we put a twitter feed in this and display it on the sidebar ?

[hqarrse]

Has anyone noticed that the sidebar is very slow to load- it holds up our entire site, and loads block-by-block. i'm wondering if there is any caching features built into it that we haven't addressed, or if we could globally enable it and not have it check user permissions.

We are also having problems with web server load when using the sidebar (DB load is the same). However I don't know if that is the same on the forum index page with the original sidebar, or whether it is just the addition of ESB. It's a busy evening for us tonight and turning the sidebar off on thread pages was essential to keep the site running. One of our servers was on a load of over 30.

Any tips on optimization would be appreciated, or just a steer about whether it might be the sidebar, or just the standard VB blocks themselves that it uses which are to blame. A great mod but I don't think we can justify another server to run it :)

This has nothing to do with the mod itself.

It is related to what you have in your sidebar. Enabling all sort of blocks everywhere in your pages is not a wise thing. You can enable light blocks everywhere, other blocks (that is calling db alot) enable them in some pages. ESB allows you to do, so use its options.

Can you pls post a screenshoot?

[LifesGreatestGift]

Here is a screenshot of the code.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/05/40.png

The reason is because the "sidebar_container" div is loading after the "content_container" div. So content_container loads 100% at 100% width, then the sidebar_container div loads and forces itself to the left of content_container causing it to resize to allow itself in.

I believe sidebar_container should load itself before content_container to fix this issue.

[Meestor_X]

I see a similar problem on my forum. When the sidebar is hidden (by clicking the arrows beside it), if you go to another page or refresh, the sidebar appears, then disappears. It should not appear at all if it's hidden.

[sross]

Can you pls post a screenshoot?

I'm not sure how to screenshoot it.. basically imagine the forum loading as normal, then the sidebar appear after that. I disabled the mod and checked my sidebar and it worked properly, no issue with refresh. I enable mod and sidebar reloads everytime after forum loads. Maybe it is a 4.1.3 bug?

[Hummie]

No it is not a bug in 4.1.3 this behavear in all versions. The *problem* (if you see it a problem) is that sidebar setting is loaded from css settings then it is closed by javascript. I can fix that but this may cost a bit.

I see what you are saying but it does not make sense to me that by default the vbulletin sidebar does not load after forum loads, yet when the everywhere sidebar mod is enabled it then takes on this behavior. How can this be a vbulletin 'as designed' issue when it appears only after the mod is enabled? The mod is actually overkill for me anyways, all I really wanted was sidebar to show on forum display and showthread. There doesn't seem to be a mod for this though.

Try the default vb style. If it doesnt do it, then its your style that's breaking it in some way (contact the designer to fix it).

the default style has the same exact issue. If any one can help I would really appreciate it.

Can you please point me in the direction of where?

Did anyone manage to get this working in vbadvanced cmps? I tried via the instructions on the other site but nothing appears.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers.

I don't have vbadvanced cmps, but in the code posted by qG ThaLiX use the following code instead

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_block.php');
$show['sidebar'] = false;
$blockmanager = vB_BlockManager::create($vbulletin);
$sidebar = $blockmanager->getSidebarHTML();
if ($sidebar)
{
$show['sidebar'] = true;

$templater = vB_Template::create('sidebarext_temp');
$templater->register('sidebar', $sidebar);$templater->register('show_sidebar', $show_sidebar);$templater->register('button_top_sidebar', intval($vbulletin->options['esidebar_button_top']));$templater->register('width_sidebar', intval($vbulletin->options['esidebar_width']));$templater->register('margin_sidebar', intval($vbulletin->options['esidebar_width'])+20);
$template_hook['sidebarext_temp']=$templater->render();
$sidebarext_add = "' . \$template_hook['sidebarext_temp'] . '";
$sidebarext_search = '/\' \. \$footer \. \'/';
$sidebarext_replace = $sidebarext_add . "' . \$footer . '";
$vbasidebar = preg_replace($sidebarext_search, $sidebarext_replace, $vbulletin->templatecache['adv_portal']);
$sidebarext_search = '<div id="vbasidebarclass">';
$sidebarext_add ='<div id="content_container"><div id="content">';
if($vbulletin->options['sidebarposition']==0)$sidebarext_add ='<div id="content_container" class="contentright"><div id="content">';
$sidebarext_replace = $sidebarext_add . $sidebarext_search;
$vbasidebar = str_replace($sidebarext_search, $sidebarext_replace, $vbasidebar);
$vbulletin->templatecache['adv_portal'] = $vbasidebar;
}

Thanks, but as I said, I followed the instructions to the letter. Doesn't work, something appears to be missing somewhere. Or maybe the person over at the other site did a few more things than he/she remembered. *shrugs* Perhaps vba requires some additional items on its list, will look into it more over the weekend.

EDIT: Oh and if I figure it out I'll let yas know incase anyone else is having issues, :)

Btw, is it at all possible to set the sidebar so its minimized/hidden by default instead?

I know you followed the instructions.

The above code is different than qG ThaLiX code

Try it and let me know how it goes

[Calystos]

Soz, didn't check it, lawl.

But have tried, still no go am afraid. Its possible it could be due to that they only used center columns on their vba. Am going to load up a test system on my home machine and see if it works that way and if so it'll give a rough idea on where to check the code and whatnot I hope.

This isn't the first mod I've had that was a bit iffy at first with vba, thankfully from that experience I was able to learn how to fix em, so hopefully this won't be too much of a problem, :)

Good luck

Get back to us with good news so that others benefit from your test

BTW: use my code i posted to you above and not the code posted by qG ThaLiX .

You might want to make a note in the 'about' text to inform people that using this will cause the forum body to load before the sidebar loads, thus causing their sites to jump around the page as it loads up. Could have saved me a lot of troubles. Will happily use once the sidebar loads first and my site doesn't jerk around the page, just too distracting for my members so uninstalling for now.

why you are using 1.4.1 while 1.4.3 is released?

[sross]

Hi Almannai,

I am on 1.4.3 here is a video of the sidebar refreshing. I did two page refreshes on the video. Happens in ff4 and chrome. Are you not seeing this on other forums? If not do you have an example forum I could see? Anyway here is the video: http://min.us/mvpib98

Thanks

This normal way of strting sidebar you don't have to worry that much about. I made it to start after 2 seconds after page loads. If you need more help visit my website (http://vbfixer.com/).

hmm is it not best to emulate what the default vbulletin sidebar does? If I turn the mod off, the standard sidebar does not seem to refresh or jump the page about, it just stays there. Can I change your 2 second setting to 0 seconds? Can you PM me a quote on a fix for this? thanks

[Calystos]

Well, I managed to find the info I was after in ref to force-setting the sidebar to collapsed mode by default over at vbulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/332849-Sidebar-close-at-default?) forums.

However, there is a problem in that with ESB enabled it ignores the script. Mind you I've only just installed the script (which works great incase anyone else was after something like this), and am about to head out so can't debug it til I get home later tonight. But when I get time I'll have a look into it and see about adding the code to work with ESB, and unless someone beats me to it I'll post the mod here incase anyone wants it, :)

1 problem solved, an another bug pops up, lawl. Typical, hehehe.

EDIT: K, quickly had time to fiddle an figured it instantly out. In order to have the sidebar defaulted to collapsed using ESB you have to either edit the product xml file and import that, or you have to edit the sidebarext_temp template. Either way its the same code to add above both lines that are ref'd via "sidebar.js".

Okay to default it to collapsed simply search for the TWO lines (both are identical so just repeat the find):

<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/vbulletin-sidebar.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
And above both add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/vbulletin-sidebar-closed.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
And of course upload the attached javascript file to the clientscript directory.

Thats it. Course we can go further and make it a full option easy enough I guess.
Oh and to make it easier I've quickly modded the 1.4.3 ESB with the above code for anyone who doesn't wanna fiddle with the templates, hehe. Hope it helps, :)

However I have found a bug in ESB, not sure why it happens and haven't fully tested/checked how many other areas it effects. But on some styles, when ESB is enabled, and you go to the forum home (forum.php) area. Some images get blanked or something. As I said though I've only just noticed this and haven't got the time to debug atm. But thought it best to bring it to attention.

EDIT: Quickly added a before/after image so you can see what I mean about the transparency or hiding bug. ESB_Disabled is of course what it looks like when the product isn't running. And as you'll see when its enabled for some reason the background image for those areas vanishes. Anyways, better rush else will be late, lawl. Will look further into the code when I get home later. :)

I'm getting this showing up in my footer, any ideas?

$ttmp=explode(',', $vboptions['esidebar_no_hide_exclude']);

That should not happen maybe you change the code manually. pls cosider uninstalling the product and installing it again.

[sHORTYWZ]

This happened to me too - you at some point probably manually modified your sidebar template to remove the expand/unexpand button. You can either revert your sidebar template or set the "Don't hide ESB switch" to off in the ESB config.

Sorry you are right

I've fix it in the new update 1.4.3.1

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.

Thanks for the update but are the issues quoted above fixed? :confused:

see my website in this thread

look for "How To Add Adsense To Sidebar:"

It describes how to add adsense code in sidebar but am sure you will get the idea.

Thanks but my issue isn't adding adsense. I don't care about adsense.

I am more concerned about using php includes and vb conditionals in sidebar.

Did you try to follow the instructions there. If you did in one of the steps you select html instead you can select php and add your php code

[sHORTYWZ]

Almannai - would it be possible to modify the pop-out time of the sidebar as was discussed a few pages back in this thread? My users aren't very happy about the two second delay and I can't seem to find an obvious way of changing this behaviour.

Thanks.

I just downloaded and installed this mod. Thanks for makingthis possible. Anyway, ist therer an option to make the sidebar visible just at the CMS ? I do not want to use the sidebar in the forum or somewhere else, I just want to show in the CMS ?

The reason for this is a plugin Calles "Budesliga-Tippspiel" I am using, where I can show the ranking of the teams in the forum-sidebar as a block but not in a cms-widget. That is why I want to use the Forum-sidebar but not for the forum :-)

As I found multiple options to show the sidebar but not valid for the CMS I still hope to get help here. Many thanks in advance.
