Hey all! I am in need of some help. I only know enough code to tweak it. I'm looking to add some forum blocks to the right side of the forum home page. I figured out how to add the "Latest Posts" block. I was wanting to add a few more. Like:

Twitter Block
Facebook Activity Block
Top Posters Block
and maybe a Current Command Staff online Block

I downloaded the Sidebar Anywhere (Formerly Sidebar for Activity Stream) by BOP5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=283307&highlight=edit+sideblock&page=4) addon but it looks like the blocks have to be created for it to even work is this correct? Any way if someone can please help me.

I'm not sure I understand - are you asking how you can write PHP to create your own custom forum blocks?

Yes I tried looking up some info but nothing that could help me. I found this link https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/371709-Creating-an-HTML-or-PHP-Block but to be honest if it's not specifically for what I need I'm not sure that I'm going to figure out what needs to be changed. I mean one of them is the code for a youtube video, what code do I need to show the activity on our Facebook page cause I haven't a clue.

Have you tried a search? I think there may be some blocks in the modifications forums for you that you can use as-is or tweak to work how you want. (There is even a Forum Blocks category to sort by in those forums).
