Nexia's Forum Sidebar Everywhere

[vbenhancer]

Will add the forumhome sidebar everywhere logically possible to show it, with choices of locations.

First Screenshots show how it is "before/after" on the calendar page, doing some esthetical changes... some templates are less obvious!

Third screeny is about the settings you can change to your wills.

I take requests if you want other templates to be available...

Actual Pages where the sidebar can be activated on release date, Mar 21th, 2012:

Forumhome (can even be deactivate and show sidebar elsewhere)
Main Albums Pages
Announcements
Calendar
FAQ
Forum Display

# How To use Nexia's Forum Sidebar Everywhere:


################################################## #############################
# Simple Installation:

1- upload via ftp the content of the /UPLOAD_THIS/ folder in your forum's base directory.

2- Import the Product file included in the /IMPORT_THIS/ folder.

3- AdminCP >> Settings >> Options >> Forum Sidebar and Block Options

Follow that path and change the list of pages you want the sidebar to show up.


################################################## #############################
# Customization:

If you have customized templates on the pages affected by this engine, you will need to edit it's related template to make it fit your custom design. To do so, it's simple... to edit our version of SHOWTHREAD, find SHOWTHREAD_SIDEBAR and edit it accordingly.
*(you can also hire nexialys to do the job!)


################################################## #############################
# What to Know:

This tool originally replace the pages you browse by pages that contain the sidebar you already have on Forum Home.

How it work is simple. Each page you see on your browser is made from a "template" containing the proper codes to display each elements you see in the page. For the default vBulletin, only the "Forum Home" page contain the codes to display a sidebar. But maybe you would like to see that sidebar in other pages where it would help the navigation of the visitors ?!

That's what this tool intend to do... add the sidebar in precise pages that deserve to. In the "Forum Sidebar and Block Options" page, you can now select what page will show the sidebar...

To make it more even, the FORUMHOME template was updated as well to look like all the others... as the sidebar is supposed to be similar everywhere.


################################################## #############################
# Why not adding everything via plugin instead of switching templates?:

When we add that kind of content via plugin, we face the possibility to have a template that is incompatible with the hooks we need, or a style that we can not trust because written poorly.

We switch templates so your designer can edit the default templates we provide and make them better if necessary. It is tangible content, it requires less server process, and you can customize it for each style you have... the other technique does not comply with that option.

EDIT: update on april 10th, now deactivate automatically for Mobile styles... *(as requested hundreds of times! :D )
EDIT: update on april 11th, edited the product file to fit forumhome for mobiles, sorry!

EDIT: august 9th, 2012: version 4.2 is now supported - memberlist and other pages are now showing proper content... sorry for the late, summer vacations with 7 kids is a bit complicated to deal with!

[vbenhancer]

I'm taking request for pages you want to see with the sidebar...

already in the work for version 1.0.1:

- ... some other internal pages inside vBulletin
- vBExperience
- vbPlaza
- vB Project Tools
- v3 arcade

[vbenhancer]

there will be a plugin inside this system to be able to add any page of coders choice when they want to add this feature to their product/hack...

[New Joe]

Tagged, I'll keep an eye on this one.

Tried it on our forum got this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/forum.php(73) : eval()'d code on line 96

Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in [path]/forum.php(650) : eval()'d code on line 4

Had to uninstall it to remove the error from our forums header.

[vbenhancer]

Thanks... you can install again... this error was related to a last-addition code that i did not test, just to be stupid, was missing a " ) "...

i also added a security fix to avoid code injection and missing array in verification code.

also added default values to the plugin or it would display nothing nowhere...

[CharlieDelta]

What an interesting idea.
I am keeping my eye on this one.

[Gemma]

Flawless. Thank you :)

[TheLastSuperman]

On me localhost although that's still a install, marked as so :p.

Edit: Yes this does eliminate the styling issues I've encountered in the past... have you thought about the CMS or Blogs yet? It can be done but the entire <div> class must be replicated and re-used i.e. sidebar is stacked etc because of how they utilize some default sidebar code in those as it was never intended to be used in conjunction with.

[vbenhancer]

sure, that is the next step... i've done it already, but did not added to the release. :)

they are not complicated to deal with, when you know what is CSS... rofl

[Trevor Matthews]

I am interested in this as well as I am not entirely happy with the mod I am using at the moment.

[burlesque]

Will this work with the block for DBTech's Forum Live Feed & User Wall? The 'Everywhere Sidebar' mod doesn't like this at all.

[Nirjonadda]

'); var sidebar_align = 'left'; var content_container_margin = parseInt('290px'); var sidebar_width = parseInt('270px'); //-->

sidebar not working

[Trevor Matthews]

I have been using ESB Gold but my forums mobile style is broken unless I disable ESB Gold.
Would I be able to try your mod if I disable Everywhere Sidebar Gold???

[Trevor Matthews]

Ouch, just disabled ESB and installed this mod.

All I got was a blank white page instead of my forum page..........
Quickly un-installed.

[Trevor Matthews]

I just installed this on an empty test forum.
All I get is a blank white page on parts of the forum where this mod is installed.
There seems to be a big issue here.

What did I miss????

do not compare between products, the result would be too sad for another product.. .rofl

technically, this engine is not interacting with any widget/sidebar-block, it just handle the sidebar wrapper, so i suppose it's ok...

i have no idea, first time it calls an error... did you upload the file ?!

ESG requires file editions... you need to revert your files to their original state if you want to uninstall ESG ...

also, i have no idea about how it interact with mobile styles, so i can not evaluate what would work on such circumstance... i may evaluate that later when i'm ready to have an official non-beta version released.

[Trevor Matthews]

Yes, I upload the file to the forum root and then installed the plug-in.

It doesn't work on my live forum or my test forum. 4.1.11
A real shame as I wanted to get rid of ESB

[Gemma]

Any way to cache the block templates when they are appearing on pages other than FORUMHOME?

[laebshade]

Can you update this to show on Search results and with non-standard vBulletin pages that still use the vBulletin template, such as albumall.php from:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=237931

That is, give a text field where you can put in php script names for it to hook into.

[fishmaster]

Going to wait for some others to install and provide feedback, and work out any possible bugs.

Looks promising!

[fishmaster]

Installed and working great on latest VB Build and stock skin.

Running various plug-ins with no perceived issues.

Simple and smooth script that works without all the clutter in the admin CP.

What most site admins will want.

[fishmaster]

Noticed it does not pull the VB Gallery block over from the Forum Homepage.

Probably a good thing to cut down on page size through-out the forums.

the vbGallery blocks and some other plugins are loading their widgets/blocks later in the process... i'll take a look at what we can fix with the coders of these tools...

this product try to load the latest moment possible to avoid that kind of situation, but i can't do all with a default install... when the guys think the product is interesting enough, they will surely try to make everything fit together... but it is new... :)

[vbenhancer]

on version 1.0.2, i will add the possibility to use the vbCMS widgets, if possible. i know we can transform them from widgets to sidebar blocks, but not sure it will work... rofl

Fantastic! Glad to hear it. Thanks!

[Trevor Matthews]

I still don't see why this will not work on a new vb install with no modifications whatsoever.
Try it your self here www.tmforum.co.uk
It doesn't work!

[vbenhancer]

from what i see, IT IS...

you did not put any content in your sidebar, that's all from what i see...

[Trevor Matthews]

It isn't, click on forum, you will see a test sidebar, click on blogs and you get nothing apart from a blank white page. Click on Calendar, you get a blank white page.

[joeychgo]

Can the sidebar width be adjusted?

[vbenhancer]

Can the sidebar width be adjusted?

it's all based on the sidebar.css template you can edit to your wishes... but basically, it all depand on your design, not my code!

[vbenhancer]

It isn't, click on forum, you will see a test sidebar, click on blogs and you get nothing apart from a blank white page. Click on Calendar, you get a blank white page.

that's what i said from the begining.. you did not upload via ftp the file in the proper path found in the UPLOAD_THIS folder...

[lillylissy]

Good Job!
Thank you vbenhancer! :)

Thanks for sharing!

After editing "show sidebar on pages" are all labels removed.

what did you edit and for what purpose?!

[Trevor Matthews]

Aha, a total misunderstanding of the instructions on my part.
I uploaded just the .php file to the root.
I did not realise I had to have it inside the nex folder.

Thanks for your patience :embarrassed:

[Trevor Matthews]

I have had a look at sidebar.css and can't see how to make the width bigger.
Does anyone know how to achieve that as my sidebar adverts no longer fit quite right.
I need to set the width as 230 as it was with ESB Gold.

Also I want to remove the collapse buttons as my blocks are adverts.
How would I achieve that?

AdminCP > Style Manager > Choose Style Variable Editor (for whichever style) and click GO >

Scroll down til you find forum_sidebar_width and change to whatever size you require.

Also I want to remove the collapse buttons as my blocks are adverts.
How would I achieve that?

If you are using the default block_html template, go into AdminCP > Style Manager > Edit Templates > block_html

Find and remove
<a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a>

If you are using a custom template for your adverts then there should still be code similar to the above; again just delete that code.

[Trevor Matthews]

Gemma, thank you very much.
I now have this mod in place and it doesn't break my mobile style as ESB did!

I have one last question. I still have the little icon to collapse the whole sidebar, even though collapsing the sidebar is disabled the collapse icon is still there.
Is it possible to get rid of it?

Many thanks again.

[Trevor Matthews]

Hi
Actually the sidebar does collapse in certain parts of the forum, it looks to me that locking the sidebar is a feature of ESB.
I must be able to lock the sidebar and have it visible at all times.

Will this be an option at some point as I can't use it until then?

[Samsine]

what did you edit and for what purpose?!
I selected the pages. I want the sidebar only on showthread visible.

I've tested with:
Install -> select 1 page more
Install -> delete 1 page


Both efforts come to nothing.
Once stored, the selected pages are deleted.
While it can be re-selected, but the display remains unsuccessful.

[vbenhancer]

and you have what version of vB so i can investigate?! because you're the only one to report that problem...

I found the error. The problem was due to an own addon which works as "Optioncode Checkbox" ... sorry ;)
Your sidebar work now excellent ! :up:

Any chance of getting the ability to assign blocks based on THIS_SCRIPT? For example, different blocks on the forum homepage vs thread pages, or search pages?

[vbenhancer]

that would be a good enhancement, but it would require i make editions of the sidebar generation, which is not what i had planned for this week... but yes, this is something to consider PRETTY SOON!

[pokusek]

Good mod.

But what bugs me is the fact that on the forumhome the sidebar is few pisels above the default sidebar (without the modification installed):

http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/6539/indexssc.png

Could you please take look at this?

Also, could be the sidebar included on pages with enhanced editor on (when writing a new thread/post)?

Thanks!

[pokusek]

Oh, I just figured out the sidebar position issue. I added this style to the sidebar_container div in the template FORUMHOME_NEX_SIDEBAR:

style="margin-top:38px !important;"

Now it works :)

[vbenhancer]

yeap, sure, you can edit the template, or add the value of that class in your additional.css...

for adding other pages into selection, it will be done in the next days... i'm on other tasks right now... ;)

[draver]

This sidebar is killing my mobile style. Any chance to deactivate this only for mobile style?

[SashaCPF]

I cannot get the collapse button to work. Yes, I actually WANT the collapse button and I want my members to be able to choose if they want to see the sidebar or not. I click on the collapse button and nothing happens. The link associated with the button is:

http://mywebsite/vb/#

Shouldn't the # be "{vb:raw relpath}#top" ? I tried that and it still won't collapse.

[SashaCPF]

Still cannot get the collapse button to actually collapse the sidebar. Is this thread being monitored anymore?

[ptceuro]

wow, thats an awesome tutorial, thanks so much!!

[vbenhancer]

Still cannot get the collapse button to actually collapse the sidebar. Is this thread being monitored anymore?

monitored? actually, you ask for something not related to this addon, so why would i monitor your request?!

you want by default to have the sidebar collapsed... ask this in the general support forum, not here, sorry...

[vbenhancer]

This sidebar is killing my mobile style. Any chance to deactivate this only for mobile style?

hum, yes, sure we can have a deactivation for the mobiles... i'll see what i can do about it today.

Actually, no I do not want it collapsed by default. I want the collapse button in your add-on to actually work. It worked fine before I added your add-on - as in, I was able to click on the button and the sidebar collapsed. Then when I clicked on the button again, it expanded. After I added your add-on, the button is there but when I click on it, the sidebar does NOT collapse. I want my members to be able to collapse and expand YOUR add-on sidebar whenever and wherever they want.

oh, that way...

actually, the collapse button is not coded by this plugin, so if it does not work, maybe it's because of a difference between your style and this product... i could take a look, if i know your site's url... (the one in your siggy is not having that product installed...)

The site I am testing it out on is http://www.cpfgreen.com/vb/forum.php . I currently only have it enabled on Forum Home and I am working with the default style.

OH!... and thank you... :)

[vbenhancer]

ok, you are right....

actually you are left... do the sidebar works properly when in right side?! i tested it on my production site and it is working as planned (http://centralcanin.net/forum.php), so i need to see if i have done something wrong...

[SashaCPF]

Ok, I moved it to the right and still not working.

[SashaCPF]

I'm going to uninstall the add-on, download the add-on again, then install it again. Will let you know what happens.

[SashaCPF]

Still not working.

[vbenhancer]

ok, from what i see in the errors console when visiting your site:

Ok. I'm stuck on dumb :o How do I fix that?

And thank you again for your help!

[greenchicken]

Is there a way to show this only to certain usergroups or it it all or nothing?

Thanks

[vbenhancer]

i frankly don't know why the sidebar would work originally and my product not work if your site is not showing the right path for the yuipath... the path is supposed to be set in the AdminCP >> Options >> Server Settings and Optimization Options >> Use Remote YUI ...

[vbenhancer]

hum, yes, sure we can have a deactivation for the mobiles... i'll see what i can do about it today.

I'm having exactly the same issue on my forum. The sidebar collapse works w/ the default vb sidebar, but not w/ this product.

The error is also something to do w/ the YUI something or other..

TIA for any help.

[pokusek]

It seems that with vB 4.2 the sidebar does not work on pages online.php and memberlist.php (+ all data from the database does not display on these pages).

For anyone having this issue w/ a non-default style; I figured out what the fix is for this.

Search all of the '..._NEX_SIDEBAR' templates for '+ yuipath +' and replace it with: '{vb:stylevar yuipath}' - you have to remove the single quotes and '+' characters on either side too - seems it was looking for a JS variable instead of a vb variable..

Maybe this fix should be included in the next release?

Cheers

[ihstiv]

Thanks for this great product.

Here is a vote to have the sidebar included on the vb 4.2 'activity stream' page in the next release.

Let me know if there are some easy steps for me to implement this myself..

Dear nexia,

thanks for this great mod, it's the best Sidebar Mod available right now!

I was wondering if it is also possible to show a sidebar on usercp.php and private.php?

Kind Regards
Andreas

[vbenhancer]

hum, for the usercp and private, i was to rethink their actual sidebar to make it more fluid with the forum's one and merge both in a greater look... i will take some days to make it so, as i'm upgrading all my other tools on my official site.

[ihstiv]

I discovered that the FORUMHOME_NEX_SIDEBAR template has this (unnecessary?) code that was causing duplicate comment punctuation marks between my currently logged in users, so I removed it and it solved the problem: {vb:raw loggedin.comma}

location:
<li>{vb:stylevar dirmark}<a class="username" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw loggedin}}">{vb:raw loggedin.musername}</a>{vb:raw loggedin.invisiblemark}{vb:raw loggedin.buddymark}{vb:raw loggedin.comma}</li>

unless I'm missing the reason it was there, this might be a good fix for the next release.

Cheers

actually, you are right AND wrong... :)

what you found is in the FORUMHOME template, in vB 4.2 template... not in my template with is based on the 4.1.12 version of the FORUMHOME template...

so yes, i have to update my template to fit both versions !!!

actually, you are right AND wrong... :)

what you found is in the FORUMHOME template, in vB 4.2 template... not in my template with is based on the 4.1.12 version of the FORUMHOME template...

so yes, i have to update my template to fit both versions !!!

Happy to be wrong, but I didn't see that snippet in the vb 4.2 template.. only in the NEX template. regardless, seems like it shouldn't be there. cheers. :)

Does anybody know how to implement the strip_bbcode() function or similar, so that we don't see bbcode displayed in the sidebar content? TIA

update:

I realized this is only occuring on my forum home page which uses vb cms widget, so I added this code:
$thread['previewtext'] = strip_bbcode($thread['previewtext'], true, true, false, true, false);

after this line:
$thread['previewtext'] = fetch_censored_text($parser->get_preview($thread['message'], $this->default_previewlen, $allow_html));

..in this file:
forum/packages/vbcms/widget/recentthreads.php

.. and it removed the bbcode.

apologies that this is not directly related to this mod.. This mod already removes bbcode from sidebar content as desired.

If it's not directly related then you should not post such things in a modification thread as it derails the topic per say. Please open a new thread (possibly in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=252 ) and ask this there ;).

Working great for me, thanks! Just what we wanted to get our content into the forums so the users can see the stories and such. Thrilled this was out there, mucho gracias!

I'm not sure if I imported this right, but the options of different pages are not showing up for me. I uploaded the nex folder to the vbulletin directory and then imported product-nex_sidebar_everywhere_42 on the Products page in admincp. I created a random product name and ID, since it wasn't there by default.

I have the same problem, I uploaded all files and imported product-nex_sidebar_everywhere_42 on the Products page in admincp, but I don't have in the options menu the "Forum Sidebar and Block Options".
What could be the problem?

[ps2wiz]

Does this mod give the option to enable both left and right sidebars at the same time?

[pokusek]

Bug in vB 4.2.1: The new block type "Activity stream" works correctly only on the forum index, there are only activity date+time shown elsewhere (without the description of the particular activity)

Works on 4.1.11 with DBTech mods whereas the other popular mod, Everywhere Sidebar, does not. Installed and nominated.

[Akyeame Kwame]

On second thought this causes the following MySQL error:
Database error in vBulletin 4.1.11:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT threadid, postid
FROM post
WHERE postid IN (0post.postid IN (083301));

MySQL Error : Unknown column '0post.postid' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054

============================================

EDIT: Confirmed that this is working for 4.2.1
I'm back to nexia's

[theoutlawed]

Great plug-in working just dandy here on 4.2.1

Thanks for the time creating this!

[fxdigi-cash]

This is a great mod! The only thing is that if we had the option to select which block to display on each forum would be great...

Thanks

[Apolo.]

Hi,

Is it possible to display the sidebar from the very top of every single page on my forums by using this mod?

Thank you!

[PattiOz]

Doesn't work on 4.2.2

No option comes up in the Admin CP Options.
