Move Forum Blocks to specific forum?

[obglobal.net]

Hello all.

Was wondering if it's possible to move forum blocks to a specific forum? I have no desire to bring adds to my site, but have an empty space on the right side of my main forum:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/09/24.png

On the right side you can see the yellow squiggly lines.

Is it possible to move forum blocks there?

Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

Have a good one.

ACP --> Forums & Moderators --> Forum Blocks Manager, make sure the default ones are active.

Then go to ACP --> Settings --> Options --> Forum Sidebar and Block Options set Enable Forum Sidebar to Yes and Sidebar Position to Right.

Hey, Ozzy! Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. Didn't get it to work though. Bummer.

When I went to the Forum Blocks Manager, I only had 2 blocks active. I'm unsure of what the defaults are, because they weren't available for viewing. It's either that or perhaps the doc width needs to be reduced.

Just to clarify, this is my main forum, not the sitename.php. It is possible to have blocks in a separate forum, right?

Thanks as always, bro.

In your screenshot you are on the forum page which the sideblocks should show.

Oh, OK. Thanks dude. They're actually showing up on this page:

Would really appreciate any further help, Ozzy.

Sorry man.

Try as I might, I cannot get this to work. I think I may have to edit something.

Is it possible to change the .php to the main forum? The side-blocks will only appear in the .php page.

Thanks a lot.

I don't know how you have your pages set up, but in the first screenshot, that looks like your forum home, which is where they should show.

What is the url to the page in the first screenshot, and the url to the page in the last screenshot?

Post a link to your board, it will help us determine how you have your blocks setup.

Hey man. Thanks for replying.

So the blocks are displayed here in the forum.php

http://obglobal.net/forum.php

But this is defunct. I don't need to use it because the navigation bar links to all my forums - I have only 4 total. My main forum is my home page now, as I advertise my site on YouTube and want potential members to go straight to the main discussion area.

I want to get the blocks displayed in here:

http://obglobal.net/forumdisplay.php?2-Knicks-Forum

But haven't been able to do anything to make it happen.

Blocks in all forums would also be sweet.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

I just added them, man.

I don't know what's happening. Apologies for the confusion.

☆ The theme's changed by the way. It's still the same page.

Ok I get what you are after now, you will need a mod to do that, try this one, Sidebar Anywhere (Formerly Sidebar for Activity Stream) by BOP5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=283307).

Thanks a lot, Ozzy. I'll check that out.

No problem, glad to help. :)

Thanks for posting the link, really helps when we are trying to help someone.

Try @Ozzy42 suggestion, I would have suggested the same, but the @Ozzy42 has lightening fast bionic fingers when replying to messages. I have old football fingers that hit two keys at the same time.

Read through the @Bop5 modification thread, it will give you a good idea how it can be used. It is a nice modification from "Bird of Prey 5" and should do most of what you are looking for.

It worked!

Easy as pie, too.

So thanks to you lads for your involvement. ozzy47, as always, it's been an absolute pleasure.

Thank you to you too, tbworld.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS MOD, BTW.

Easy install, very basic use.
