After seeing how you guys liked my vB3 Sidebar, I have decided to re-write it. This mod now calls the sidebar in as a template to save work on editing templates.
-----
Template Edits: 1
File Edits: 1
Templates Added: 1
Estimate Time to Install: 3 minutes
-----
Version 1: Simple Template Edit to FORUMHOME
Version 2: Updated to work witih vB3 GAMMA. Made to be called in as a template via PHP. Template SIDEBAR added for better usability and working on the sidebar.
Version 3: Planned to be fully integrated as vB Options to be able to turn the sidebar on or off, plans for different sidebars for different pages.
Online Demo:

This cannot be reposted without my EXPLICIT WRITTEN PERMISSION

Work removed, Im suprised someone didnt report this, NO FILE BASED HACKS ARE ALLOWED HERE.

The idea is nice :D

It would be nice to have that menu not only in forumhome but also in the forumdisplay and threaddisplay screens
So I was wondering, wouldn't it be better to make the menu as a seperate template, and call that template from within those 3 displays i just mentioned?
That would be sweet!

Well, I'll try and release a modification for it to display on the those three pages, but I made it so it's frontpage only - much much more easy on the serverload.

And that's it, you're done! Simple, ne?
You can change the text to whatever you want, add links, ect.
You don't have to give me credit for this, but it cannot be re-released without my permission.
I will update this for vB3 Gold once it comes out, but it might not need much changing if the
style variables do not change.
This is NOT 100% XHTML compatible.

What about on ALL Pages and above the Nav Bar? Like so:

However, my way is not optimal.

you tabled yours between the header and the footer. not the navbar. Thats the only way it would show up on error pages where there is no navbar.

i hate to be a ballbuster, but since your gamma update inludes the file change, is this not considered a hack and not supposed to be posted here?

That does not necessarily have to go in index.php, it can also go in the PHP INCLUDE START Template.

this is true and the reason I have been running it on my test forum using the phpinclude template rather than the file edit.

also, If I may say, you could also put you forumhome edit in the navbar or header and the sidebar in the footer to have your mod show on all pages. At least after jelsoft put the navbar option back into the error pages, the navbar could be used to hold the forumhome part of your mod without issue.

I could not find

<!-- /timezone -->

in FORUMHOME.
Any idea?

And: This only displays the sidebar on the main forum page. How do I get it to every forum page?

Thanks in advance.
