Sidebar Anywhere (Formerly Sidebar for Activity Stream) by BOP5

[BirdOPrey5]

You need to go to Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> General Settings

Turn Template Names in HTML comments to YES

Then go back to: www.dimmicosacerchi.it/forum/forms.php

In your web browser, view the page source

At the top of the page will be a template name, maybe something like form_view

You then use the template name in the mod, something like

forms | form_view

Once its done and working go back and turn off template names in comments again.

[dimmicosacerchi]

I am so thankful! I solved it in a second with this method!
The name of the template (it may be helpful to others) is "shell_blank."
Thank you thank you thank you! :D:D

[rumas]

It appears to be working OK on my 4.2.1 forum: http://www.qapla.com/mods/activity.php (at the bottom)

Did you go to Admin CP -> Languages and Phases -> Find Updated Phrases and provide new/fresh translations of anything listed?

I have no phrases or translations of any kind. (All phrases are up-to-date.)

If I load activity.php the Activity Stream block does function on my site. However its not functioning in individual forums or in threads.

I noticed you do not have the sidebar turned on for forums or threads on your site. Please enable it on forums and threads on your site to test, or anybody else for that matter.
Maybe its just me and I have to hunt down another issue.

I love the mod, you did a great job and it should be a option in default VB. I just turned off the Activity Stream block until I discover if its me or the mod.

Thanks!

[ArcadeSyndicate]

awesome mod, works fine execpt with ibpro-arcade...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /www/htdocs/**********/includes/class_core.php(4716) : eval()'d code on line 2

anybody got a solution?

thanks in advance :)

[BirdOPrey5]

What version of VB are you using exactly? If you disable the sidebar mod the error goes away? It only happens on arcade.php?

What are you using to enable it in the arcade?

[Grimes]

Not sure if this has been discussed, but how can I hide certain blocks from a usergroup using this mod. For example, if I want to have a block containing ads only show to guests etc.. Thanks.

[BirdOPrey5]

This mod doesn't handle displaying different blocks to usergroups just like the built in sidebar does not have that option.

However the same tricks can be used- namely editing the template of the block(s) and using a template conditional to show or hide the content to the usergroup.


Show only to guests

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">

** ORIGINAL TEMPLATE CODE HERE

</vb:if>




Show only to members

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">

** ORIGINAL TEMPLATE CODE HERE

</vb:if>




Show only to mods, admins, super-mods

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7)">

** ORIGINAL TEMPLATE CODE HERE

</vb:if>

[Grimes]

Gotcha. That really helps- thanks for taking the time.

[Grimes]

Worked like a charm and does exactly what I hoped it would. Guests see ads in the sidebar, and registered users don't. There are so many possibilities with this. :D

I have another question, and I realize it's probably a long shot- is it possible for me to make a code edit somewhere to make the sidebar not collapsible in just one forum?

For example: Not collapsible to guests at all. Collapsible for logged in users on forum.php, showthread, and everywhere else except in one forum.

[BirdOPrey5]

In the Sibbar Anywhere Edits plugin is this line that controls who sees the collapse option-

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',' , $vbulletin->options['bop5sbas_collapsegrooups'])))

So maybe try changing that line to

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',' , $vbulletin->options['bop5sbas_collapsegrooups'])) AND $GLOBALS['forumid'] != 99)

Where 99 is the forum id of the 1 forum.

[Grimes]

Worked perfectly. Thank you, sir.

[natecoupons]

I've an issue with my template that's not the default one. Some part of the template are missing... how to fix it?

I have the exact same issue. How is this fixed? I absolutely love this mod!

Example: forumhome: http://www.priusconnect.com

The style isn't saying as I move to forumdisplay: http://www.priusconnect.com/forumdisplay.php?2-WeUseCoupons-101

Just to help debug this issue, add this line to your headinclude template and see if it helps:


{vb:cssfile tagcloud.css}


Let me know if it does.

[natecoupons]

I went ahead and did that, and it doesn't seem to have any affect. I put the line of code at the bottom of the template.

[BirdOPrey5]

OK, cancel that...

In your additional.css template find the code for:

#sidebar_home .blocksubhead

and add !important to the background:

background:url(images/styles/DeFraction/style/sidebarHeadBG.png) no-repeat top left !important;

Any change?

[natecoupons]

I did that also, and it doesn't seem to make a difference

#sidebar_home .blocksubhead {
background:url(images/styles/DeFraction/style/sidebarHeadBG.png) no-repeat top left !important;
height:18px;
width:315px;
padding:12px;
margin:0;
color:#000000;
font-size:15px;
text-transform:none;

[sonasinha]

First of all, thanks for this wonderful mode.
I'm facing a problem with it because of my mistake, when I installed it on vb 42.1 first time, it worked like charm on all the page with height modifications.

Because of some reason I deleted Disable Collapse of Built In Sidebar from plugin manager, then did uninstall it completely, since then, even after multiple times reinstalls, when ever I do enable any of the option at admincp, like Use Custom Sidebar Drop? and save that.

It gets completely disappeared even from activity stream page, not sure why ?? I love to have it working..

Tried to install it on a travel Forum and all seems to work well except few URLs showing blank pages only in firefox after installation of this mode. As an example this url http://www.touristsboard.com/united-states-of-america/91-best-way-to-travel.html shows blank in Firefox but loads good in IE and Chrome.

When i disable this plugin every thing start working well. Also i tried changing style to the default vb but the problem persisted.
Pls tell how to resolve this issue.

This has turned out to be a nice plugin BOP5. I rarely rate and vote mod of the month but this one will be getting my vote.

Before asking this question I searched the post with no luck. Anyway I actually need for the sidebar to be disabled on FORUMHOME template. Is this possible to edit somewhere? Reason for this is because I use vBa CMPS for that template in which I have modules that other sidebars do not yet have. I would appreciate any support you can give that will get this taken care of.

How can this be disabled on FORUMHOME template?

[BirdOPrey5]

There is a built in vBulletin option to disable on FORUMHOME -

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Forum Sidebar and Block Options, you can disable the sidebar from there.

Thanks for responding. However, I do not want to disable the sidebar completely. Just in the FORUMHOME Template.

If removing code from the FORUMHOME template is the option I just need to know what code it is.

[BirdOPrey5]

Turning it off there should only disable it in FORUMHOME. Every other location is controlled by my mod which ignores that setting.

I tested it before posting. I disabled it on FORUMHOME and it still showed on my Activity Stream.

[Apolo.]

Thanks for this mod, BirdOPrey5. :)

I've been looking for a similar mod able to display the sidebar up to the very top of each forum page and haven't been so lucky (i.e. up & just to the left of the "register" link). Either way, I have installed your mod, because I experienced (and have heard of) some performance issues with the other option, the Everywhere SideBar mod.

And now I'm facing a little issue. I had included some text (a list of links) on the "ad_footer_start" template, which is displayed at the bottom of each page. And once I installed your mod, such text was displaced up & right, just beneath the bottom of the sidebar. I'm enclosing a screenshot for you to have a look, please.

So I have two questions/request for you:

1. Could you please suggest a way to fix this and return the original text back to its original position to the bottom of each page?

2. I could leave the text in that place, but could you please suggest a way to display the text a little bit more to the right, so it is not glued to the table to the left, as you can see in the screenshot?

Thanks again! :)

Should this work with Firefox 24.0? If you look this thread:

I am using Firefox 24.0, works for me..

I have to admit that the link you provided took me to a site I didn't understand but there was a sidebar, albeit the little arrows to collapse the sidebar weren't displayed but that is permissions isn't it?

Anyway, it works on the site I am currently playing with.

I am running Cyberfox 23 rev.1 and it works fine, and yes the collapse arrow settings are in options.

The Activity Stream side block in VB 4.2.1 don't seem to work properly with this mod. It displays avatars and post time but no thread link or text from the post or thread.

However the Activity Stream side block functions on the VB default forum home sidebar location, see screen capture below.

Is there a fix for this?

I'm having this exact same issue, running 4.2.2. All the blocks work correctly throughout the forum, except for the activity stream block. Here's what happens:

- The activity stream block works perfectly on the forum home and activity stream pages

- On all other pages, the thumbnail and time show up in the activity stream block, but the topic title and link don't show up.

My forum looks exactly like the screen shot Rumas posted. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=145351&d=1370913128

I checked, and there are no phrases that need updating.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Looks like I left out a special CSS template if the tagcloud is used.

For now you can fix by going to Admin CP -> Products & Plugins -> Plugin Manager

Edit the template Sidebar Anywhere CSS

Erase everything in the plugin and replace it with this code:


global $vbulletin, $sb_temps;

if ($sb_temps)
{

if ($vbulletin->options['storecssasfile'])
{
$template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/sidebar.css" />';

$template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/widgets.css" />';

$template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/forumhome.css" />';

$template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/tagcloud.css" />';
}
else
{
$template_hook[custom_css_list] .= 'sidebar.css,widgets.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.cs s';
}

}


The tags should now be correct sizes on all pages.

I will make sure this fix is in the next update.

It works. Thanks! :D

[PAPPACLART]

Installed, thanks, but how can I change the width of the side bar, as when I change the width via the styles and templates it only changes the width on the forum home and not in other place where the sidebar is displayed?

I have discovered that if this mod is enable on usercp.php & profile.php you are unable to accept friend requests as it hangs upon clicking saved.
I have confirmed this both by disabling the mod completely and by simply disabling the option in the ACP.

I have this problem too.

[Disco_Stu]

Works great but I have one problem. The collapse button does not work at all on the CMS page in FireFox or Chrome. Works fine with IE. Works fine on all other pages even with Fire Fox. The problem is limited to the CMS page.

So to collapse the sidebar on the CMS page I have to go to another page and collapse it. Then when I return to the CMS page it is collapsed.

I'm sure it's something I screwed up in my custom style. Any idea what could be going on here?

I'm using 4.2.0 PL2

Thanks

Update:

It's working now. I think something in the browser was not clearing out properly but after I signed off and back on a few times it started working.

Great mod. Marked as installed

[GameOverViper]

Works on 4.2.1 and was easy to install. I love the options to disable for specific themes, forums and usergroups. However, my themes are fixed and it just makes things look so cramped. The members didn't like it so I'll have to work on a fluid theme and see how it goes with that sometime.

Tagged though ;)

[Disco_Stu]

This mod has really worked out very well for me. Many thanks.

What's the chances of having this mod on both sides of the page at the same time with a different sidebar on each side? That would be terrific.

[lille L]

Works like a charm! thank you so much!

[Disco_Stu]

On one of my pages I need to raise the sidebar up a bit. How can I adjust the position up? I tried entering a negative number like *-10 but that didn't work.


Update:

I changed padding-top to margin-top in the plugin process_templates_complete and that worked. Now I can use negative numbers. The padding-top style specification does not allow negative numbers apparently.

Try fiddling with .fullwidth and .article_preview in the css templates (reference the default css for each from vbulletin-chrome.css then overwrite it via additional.css, if something looks wonky after adding/editing the definitions to additional.css simply remove from additional.css to fix ;).

... content_container or similar may also need to be looked into, depending how it's displaying.

Changing .fullwidth from 100% to 98% in vbcms.css did the trick! Nice suggestion, thank you.

Now the question I have is do you have any idea how to do the same for the header?

[TheLastSuperman]

Changing .fullwidth from 100% to 98% in vbcms.css did the trick! Nice suggestion, thank you.

Now the question I have is do you have any idea how to do the same for the header?

Hmm it's either what I see in the code as:

<h1 class="header">

Or

<div class="title">

So perhaps overwriting them in additional.css will do the trick with your 98% width and remember for the header class to use the h1 tag in the definition when defining it else it will mess up the actual main "header" class instead of the H1 version of it ;).

I asked that same question but didn't get a response so I figured it out for myself.

You need to have your page content displayed in a table with 2 columns. Reserve the left column for the left sidebar and put the rest of your page content in the second table column.

Then create an HTML CMS widget for whatever you want. I created one that I use for several different functions.

Next, you need to change the php file that is used for the template you are adding the widget to. What this code does is allow a CMS Static widget to be made available to a template. Here's the php code:

// add cms widget to template.

bootstrap_framework();
vBCms_View_Widget::registerTemplater(vB_View::OT_X HTML, new vB_Templater_vB());
$widgetID = 48; // the id of the widget
$widgettype = 'Static';
$widget = vBCms_Widget::create('vBCms', $widgettype, $widgetID);
$outputwidget = $widget->getPageView()->render();

You can get the widget id number by looking at the cms widget table in your database. I should point out that I was only able to make this work with HTML widgets (Static). It would not work with PHP or specialized widgets like the poll or recent posts widget. For this I created my own version in html.

Then in the same php file you need to add a line to the list of variables being registered to the template:

$templater->register('widget', $outputwidget);

Now in the template you can reference the widget with {vb:raw widget}

You can also write code to add the fade in/fade out ability and have the main page content slide to the left when the widget is collapsed.

This should give you a good starting point. Good luck. I strongly suggest you back up your website including php files and database before you make any changes. I am not responsible for any changes you make based on my suggestions.

Updated 4/30/14:
You can avoid changing the php files if you want by creating a plugin like this one to add a CMS widget to a couple of pages:

ob_start();
bootstrap_framework();
vBCms_View_Widget::registerTemplater(vB_View::OT_X HTML, new vB_Templater_vB());
$widgetID = 48; // the id of the widget
$widgettype = 'Static';
$widget = vBCms_Widget::create('vBCms', $widgettype, $widgetID);
$output = $widget->getPageView()->render();

ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('ARCADE',array('widget' => $output));
vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD',array('widge t' => $output));

Then in the template simply add {vb:raw widget} wherever you want the widget to appear.

[tpearl5]

Thanks again for a great mod Joe! Any idea why this would happen with the activity stream block on all but the forum homepage? (looks like data from {vb:raw item.phrase} is not making it) I have it set to "7 days", "popular" and "forum activity".

[fxdigi-cash]

is it possible to disable by block?? not only by forum because if I want to hide a block on specific forum and show another, and vice versa on other forums...

would that be possible??

Thanks

Edit: I think I found the answer written above in the main post. Thanks

That could possibly be a solution for me too.

I use this mod and apart from one tiny glitch, it does the job..

The issue I have is tag cloud related. It seems the tag cloud is not meant to be seen on activity.php and when this mod allows that, the tag cloud is delivered without css..
Same on forumdisplay.php

you could do that either way;

1- add external css file to headeinclude or header

2- add style directly to the page i.e inline css style

Nice one, nice two in fact... Trouble is, I haven't got a clue how to do either...:o
I have played with css many, many times but not in this way.

Basically, I just want to keep the same style as the working example..
But as I write this, i am thinking about what you say and you know what? I will give it a go. :eek:

if you don't know how to do it, just add this:

How can I display a block only if its on (this script)? For example the block only shows on Forumhome or on Search.

Also trying to display blocks on specific forum ID's The code below will not display on the forumhome but still shows on all foumid's even when the ID is set to a specific forum number.


global $foruminfo;
$forumid = $foruminfo['forumid'];

if ($forumid == 144)
{
my php code
}
return$my_output;

I removed vbseo from my vbulletin and after that the sidebar is missing. Any idea, how to fix this issue?

I had the same problem, try going to
admincp >Options > Forum Sidebar and Block Options > create Forum Blocks >Forum Blocks Manager

Click edit on any block don't change anything and just click save. It worked for me.

install the xml on vb4.2.1 but the sidebar not showing up on search, forumdisplay..
could it be conflict with certain mod?

well mate i have installed that mod which you have mentioned but still cant see the blok also enabled it in vb > options> settings> what i think is i cant find installing the sideblock where i can do this?

[ozzy47]

Read the install instructions that came with the sideblock mod.

[squidsk]

A suggestion for improvement, currently as far as I've been able to determine at any rate, if you have your own custom sideblock widget that uses its own templates the only way to cache those custom templates for the pages where this mod enables the sideblock to be shown on the selected pages is to manually cache them. My suggestion is to add a custom hook location to your code so that templates can be cached on the appropriate pages automatically.

In the plugin on the cache_template hook is where'd I'd recommend adding the hook at the comment location I've added.
global $sb_temps;

if($sb_temps AND !in_array($GLOBALS['forumid'], explode(",", $vbulletin->options['bop5sbas_forums'])))
{
$cache[] = 'block_blogentries';
$cache[] = 'block_cmsarticles';
$cache[] = 'block_html';
$cache[] = 'block_newposts';
$cache[] = 'block_sgdiscussions';
$cache[] = 'block_tagcloud';
$cache[] = 'block_threads';

//add hook location here
}

[Disco_Stu]

I must say, this is the best mod I've run across so far. I use it with a custom HTML block I wrote to house an interactive MP3 player GUI I created in Javascript.

I display it on the right side of my site on most pages and I also display a CMS multifunctional widget on the left side of each page so the site has two fully functional widgets displayed at the same time on each side of the pages.

Again, thanks for the mod it was exactly what I was looking for.

[jrw422dx]

This Mod great and I have it installed. One question though and a request if its possible.

I would like to have Twin side bars like this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230329 but that one says not to use two mods for side bar. So has anyone tweaked this one to show double side bars with the same controls as with a single side bar?

I like this one and don't want to uninstall to try the other.

Actually the right sidebar is using this mod. It's a forum HTML block I created.

The left widget is a CMS Static HTML widget that I created. I added a very simple plugin to allow it to be displayed on any page. I also added the fade in/out logic in the header template.

If you wish to use my approach then you need CMS and a willingness to change your templates and some other stuff. Otherwise ask the creator of this mod if he would be willing to provide an enhancement to allow dual sidebars using his approach. I asked but did not receive an answer so I just did it my way.

[jrw422dx]

Ok thanks. Maybe BOP5 will respond. Thanks for the info.

I love this mod and do not want to disable it, but it is causing a glitch in another (much loved and Very needed) mod.

The gist of it is, when I used Canned Replies with this mod (version 4.1.5), this mod causes the images in canned replies to display as a link instead of as an image. However, when I shut off the sidebar in the exact same forum and try again, the image displays properly.

I've posted the full details in the other mod thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2517239#post2517239

Any thoughts on what might cause that?

This is not working for me on 4.2.2 pl4. I've set it to enabled and have chosen the options for the pages I want it displayed on. How would I got about troubleshooting this?

I'm noticing in the options that it only have the option to disable it one one style, the default style. I have two other styles installed that it is not picking up on. Might this be the issue? But also to note that it still does not load the sidebar even on default style.

I currently have two side blocks active.

There is nothing in the folder to upload. I've gone through all the settings and tried turning things on and off to no avail.
Not sure if php version would be the issue, but my server is running 5.3.

Hey BirdOPrey5: first, excellent mod, it works but I'm having a few problems that just seemed to randomly crop up out of nowhere.

While every Forum Block works one does not: Activity Stream.

I have attached two images: the first is of the forum home showing both "Activity Stream" and "Trending Hashtags" working.

The second image shows forum display except "Activity Stream" is only display a user's Avatar and the time of their last action.

The strange thing was this used to work fine and nothing on the board has actually changed (no new plugins, etc.). It just stopped working. On the server side PHP is still the same version (5.5.26).

I was hoping you would have some suggestions before we switch from using "Activity Stream" to "Latest Forum Posts" which does display correctly.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. This is on vBulletin 4.2.2 PL4.

[squidsk]

Since you're using php 5.5 you should upgrade your vbulletin to 4.2.3 since 4.2.2 is not compatible with php 5.5 and see if that fixes things.

[Guardian Hope]

Since you're using php 5.5 you should upgrade your vbulletin to 4.2.3 since 4.2.2 is not compatible with php 5.5 and see if that fixes things.

It's on the to do list schedule as the site is still definitely in development. I wasn't aware that PHP 5.5 and vBulletin 4.2.2PL4 weren't technically compatible.

I will definitely give this a try tonight when there is no activity. Especially since I also heard it technically "officially" supports MariaDB which is what we use across all our networks for MySQL.

Are there any major template changes in 4.2.3 or is it all just back-end? Believe me when I say it took months to style our style so I don't want to lose it in one night.

(You'll have to forgive me, my last experiences with vBulletin were from the 3.x days so I still have a lot of catching up to do).

[squidsk]

Since MariaDB is a drop in replacement for mysql as long as your version of mariadb corresponds to the supported version of mysql it won't be a problem. I don't think there are major template changes in 4.2.3 mostly just php compatibility fixes and a few other things.

It's hard to tell from an image, it would be easier with a link to the site, but that looks more like a style issue than anything else. Possibly you colored the text of forumhome a particular color but the text is not colored the same color on other pages, hence why the text appears not to be there. Have you tried viewing it in on an unmodified default style to see if that fixes the problem.

Head on over: https://vanguardcommand.org/forums/

And it appears to only affect forumdisplay. Activity Stream displays the boxes just fine.

I thought about the style too but even highlighting doesn't display the text.

I did also try to switch to the vBulletin default style and it behaves in the same as it does with the primary style of the forum.

Like I said, it was sort of strange. It just suddenly stopped working even though nothing had actually changed (well, now we're running 4.2.3 but it was doing it on 4.2.2PL4).

[squidsk]

Try disabling your installed plugins one at a time and see if disabling one of them causes the problem to disappear.

It would be PHP code but how would I display just that info in the side bar area? Thanks for any info!

Why would it show in your sidebar? A forum category would show in your forum list, only those sideblock blocks that you create show in your sideblock. What exactly are you trying to do?

This mod only takes the sideblock and displays it on other sections of the site besides the main forum index, it neither adds nor removes sideblocks.

It works fine on index (2nd pic), but on other pages (showthread, calendar ...), links are not correct (1st pic) !

:confused::confused:

Any idea BOP5 ?

[Bastien]

Found the solution.

Problems come from phrases and variables.

You have to replace in x_replied_to_a_thread_y_in_z in GLOBAL, this

<a href="{1}">{2}</a> replied to a thread <a href="{3}">{4}</a> in <a href="{5}">{6}</a>

with this :

<a href="{1}">{2}</a> replied to a thread {4} <a href="{3}">{5}</a> in <a href="{6}">{7}</a>

In x_started_a_thread_y_in_z of GLOBAL, this :

<a href="{1}" class="username">{2}</a> started a thread <a href="{3}">{4}</a> in <a href="{5}">{6}</a>

with this :

<a href="{1}" class="username">{2}</a> started a thread {4} <a href="{3}">{5}</a> in <a href="{6}">{7}</a>

[Bastien]

You have to create this new phrase too :

Group : GLOBAL
product : vbulletin
Name : x_created_an_article_y_in_z
Text : <a href="{1}" class="username">{2}</a> created an article <a href="{3}">{4}</a> in <a href="{5}">{6}</a>

Hello.
Recently, I installed this mod in my vBulletin 4.2.3.

Works fine, but in the index forum, not appears a sidebar.
I need activate the default sidebar of vb for appear in index forum.
Is this ok?

Sorry if my question its a stupid question...

Regards.

Edit: I view that, the bloc of sideblock of activity stream not works, only appears date and time, but not appears user and content, but in the forum index, in the block of activity stream, appears fine.

[gnrx]

Sorry, my last post are wrong.

My real problem is:

In the index forum, appears all fine, but in other pages (like search.php, showthread.php....) appears all blocks but the block of activity stream only appears avatar and the date, but not appears the nick, title and other fileds.

Bests regards.

Very minor bug in the Sidebar Anywhere CSS hook at parse_templates.

The line:
$template_hook[custom_css_list] .= 'sidebar.css,widgets.css,forumhome.css';

should have a comma appened to the end of the string to leave the custom_css_list hook location in the same state as before changes are made so other mods don't have to check for a comma.

i.e. it should be changed to:
$template_hook[custom_css_list] .= 'sidebar.css,widgets.css,forumhome.css,';

Note the comma at the end.

[Scalemotorcars]

To bad its not supported. Would have been nice to get working on Photopost. Still a great mod.

Another minor bug, this time in the SA - Cache Block Templates hook at cache_templates.

The activity stream template is missing from the list of block templates being cached:

global $sb_temps;

if($sb_temps AND !in_array($GLOBALS['forumid'], explode(",", $vbulletin->options['bop5sbas_forums'])))
{
$cache[] = 'block_blogentries';
$cache[] = 'block_cmsarticles';
$cache[] = 'block_html';
$cache[] = 'block_newposts';
$cache[] = 'block_sgdiscussions';
$cache[] = 'block_tagcloud';
$cache[] = 'block_threads';
}

should be changed by adding the block_activitystream template to the list of cached templates.

i.e. change to include the bold red text below:

global $sb_temps;

if($sb_temps AND !in_array($GLOBALS['forumid'], explode(",", $vbulletin->options['bop5sbas_forums'])))
{
$cache[] = 'block_activitystream';
$cache[] = 'block_blogentries';
$cache[] = 'block_cmsarticles';
$cache[] = 'block_html';
$cache[] = 'block_newposts';
$cache[] = 'block_sgdiscussions';
$cache[] = 'block_tagcloud';
$cache[] = 'block_threads';
}

Thanks,

Where in VB would I find that code to change it?

[squidsk]

The phrase manager, change the translation part of the phrase not the original part.

[MediaSVI]

I have never used the Phrase Manager so I need a little more explanation on how to edit this.

I found the Phrase Manager but from there I do not know what to do. Also I do not understand what you mean by the "translation part" is this the code I am to add in? If so how do you do this in the Phrase Manager?

[squidsk]

In the phrase manager search for the phrase you want to change: x_replied_to_a_thread_y_in_z, would be the first one, by variable name, click to edit it once the search has brought it up. You will then see at least two textboxes one is the original phrase and then below that you'll see one "translation" textbox for each language you have installed. Put the fixed text from the post in the translation textbox, this preserves the original if for some reason you want to go back or want to uninstall the product.

[MediaSVI]

Ok I did a search for (x_replied_to_a_thread_y_in_z) in the the product and All Products/Global and I get no results?

The product I have installed is Sidebar Anywhere by BOP5

[squidsk]

That phrase is a vbulletin phrase not one for this product.

[MediaSVI]

You said in your post"

"In the phrase manager search for the phrase you want to change: x_replied_to_a_thread_y_in_z, would be the first one,"

What phrase am I to search for?

[squidsk]

That is the phrase, but do not limit your search to phrases within this product. Those phrases belong to core vbulletin not sidebar anywhere. I just verified on a site, enter x_replied_to_a_thread_y_in_z in the search text box, and for search in select variable name only and the phrase, actually two of them, will appear. In my version of vbulletin, 4.2.2PL4, at least for this phrase, the correction has already been made.

Hello.
I use this mod in vb 4.2.5 and works fine, but today, I view some issue.
I have set/changed the "forum_sidebar_width" in style variables to 360px (for example) and change this value.
Also, appear the new value in other pages that on set that appears the sidebar, for example, in Showthread.
Well, yesterday I change my style for Christmas style (style download from this site and work fine with vb 4.2.5).
If change this value (forum_sidebar_widht) only change in index forum) but the other pages (showthread, new thread...) appears with the old value, 360px, for example, I set this value to 240px, appears with 240px in index forum, in showthread, new reply...etc...appears with 360px.
Also I have this problem (today I made some tests) with style Hallowen (also downloaded of this site and works fine in vb 4.2.5).
I deduced the problem is in the style, but I search in all variables for view what are the problem, and I don't view for what reasson I have this issue.
I wait explained well.

The problem isn't the mod, the problem is your settings for each of the New styles.

Go to Admincp> Styles and Templates> Style Manager> Halloween (or whatever you called it)> Style Variable Editor

Find:
Forum Sidebar Width- change to the size you desire
vbblog_sidebar_width- change to the size you desire
Calendar_sidebar_width- change to the size you desire
profile_sidebar_width- change to the size you desire

repeat with the christmas theme you installed as well.

After type this question, yes, I think, the problem isn't in the mod, problem is in the style...

Actually, I use a Christmas style (https://vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=229600) I review all you indicate:
Forum Sidebar Width-
vbblog_sidebar_width-
Calendar_sidebar_width-
profile_sidebar_width-
I compare with my default style, all widhts are the same in my default style and the christmas (or hallowen) style. Only, I don't view or I don't have: vbblog_sidebar_width
But I have this, in index page, if I change the width, this change, but in others pages (showthreads for example) don't change, not in my default style (in default style works fine).
I think I need ask in thread of style.

Thank you very very much for your attention and help in your reply :)

Ok, let's try it a different way...

go to admincp> forums & moderators> Forum Blocks Manager

look at the blocks you have set for those particular forums, click edit block for each one that displays and see if the width is specified in those blocks.

This can be in the "block content" field OR in the "block template to use" field

To look in the template itself you'd look and see what the template is called (in the example picture it's block_html_google ), then go to your style and find that template & look for width settings.

If you cannot locate the issue, here is a final solution that may help you:


Go to admincp> Settings> Options> general settings>Add Template Name in HTML Comments> set to YES.

Then open your site in google chrome, go to the page that isn't displaying properly and right click on the sidebar, choose inspect.

It will display the code and allow you to see which template needs to be adjusted, here is an example from my page to show you what it should look like:

once you find the template that isn't displaying the way you'd like, you can go to styles & templates> the style you're trying to fix> find the offending template and edit it directly.

Have a lovely weekend

budget101...Not only has a weekend gone by, but more than a month has passed ...
They came Christmas ... then I did server migration to a self managed ... and as Christmas passed that "little problem" with that template did not have it ...
But after "re-adjusting" the new server and some other thing that was pending on the server I put with this ...
And ... ohh! Surprise!!!
In the new server (perhaps by chance) this problem has disappeared !!!
But I owe you a few thanks for more than a month;)

Hello.
Since a some time I want made some modification in this mod but I don't know how made...
I wat explain well :)

In forum/index page, appears sidebar with some blocks, ok.
When enter in some forum/subforum, appears sidebar but with others blocks (really with less blocks) not the sames blocks that in index forum.

I read the txt I view instructions for ad sidebar in custom pages, but list of forums/subforums, aren't custom pages.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hello all. Just installed this mod on vBulletin 4.2.5...and for the most part...all seems to be running fine so far. Thanks much Bird of Prey!:)

One question. One area that I would like to add Sidebar Anywhere to is the "New Posts" page. My site just like vBulletin.org has a "New Posts" link...and I believe my site uses the same code for the New Posts page as vBulletin.org.

In the "Custom Scripts & Templates" section of Sidebar Anywhere...what would the script look like that I need to add for Sidebar Anywhere to appear on the New Posts page?

Here's the Sidebar Anywhere on how to do it...and what the syntax should be (please see attachment).

Thanks

[BirdOPrey5]

You're welcome.

New Posts I believe is just a search.php page IIRC so the script name would be: search

I'm not sure the template but you probably can't limit it to just new posts, it would need to be all search results or none.

Look in your template manager to see what the various Search templates are, probably something like "search_results" or the like. Unfortunately I have no installed VB4.x to look at anymore.

hello I installed the product and it works lla great now since that in my site is installed ipbroarcade I wanted to create a block in the sidebar by recalling a php file of ipbroarcade example xxxx.arcade.php and make it become sliding. I try with all the php codes but I can't. Can you give me a script example?

Anyone know what the newest PHP version Sidebar Anywhere works with?

I'm running PHP 5.6...and was wondering if Sidebar Anywhere works with PHP 7.0 or newer.

Thanks

p.s. I looked thru about last 10 pages of this thread...and didn't see anything mentioned newer than PHP 5.5.

Working fine for me on vB 4.2.5 with PHP 7.1.33
