I can't think of anything i did except for upgrading to 3.5.4

it just isn't picking up "rightcolumn"
the footer and header are correct . .but the templeate right_column doesn't seem to be picked up.

any thoughts?

is the plugin showing as active? It appears to be adjusting the templates correctly, but just not calling the template for the column, which is why I think it is probably the plugin has been deactivated or unintentionally uninstalled. Try reinstalling the plugin ensuring you set it to 'allow overwrite' = yes. Make sure you use the right plugin too as they are different for the two columns.

maister

Do you mean product as opposed to plugin?

Yes, I reinstalled the right plugin with "overwrite" checked, but nothing.
Other templates get pulled in correctly..

other thoughts?

I'll try to recreate the template with a new name.

peterska2
04-08-2006, 12:20 AM
Sorry, yes the product for overwriting, but installing the product will have produced a couple of plugins in the plugin manager.

Creating a replacement template won't work without going through the plugins and changing all the references to the new template name.

K I think I found 1 prob. the instructions says to add the code in the header at the end of the template but I move the '$spacer_open' above the column code and it added the spaces. There is still one more problem, on the right side of the actual forum there is an extra block running down.

Any Ideas?? http://www.conejowellnesscenter.com/forums/index.php?

you will need to reduce the width of the column in the header and footer template edits. This only happens when the site is using a fixed width style.

I don't see how this mod can cause that, as that is in the forumhome template which this mod doesn't touch.

I don't suppose anyone knows how to put Users Online in the sidebar?

I did a search of the thread, but the only real answer anyone gave was to copy the code from the forumhome template, which didn't work. (None of the actual information showed up).

I want to keep that data I will diplay for the left column in a separate file. That way I can use the same code in other pages on the site and make fewer updates.

I can't get it to display. Here is what I am trying.

I created a plug-in for global_start with this $includedhtml = implode('', file('
D:\inetpub\bloodbanktalk\calls\test.html'));.
Then in my left_clumn template I added $includedhtml where I want it to display. Nothing happens.

Any advice on where I went wrong?

Thanks

Well photopost you're supposed to add $photopostfeature or something cant remember now but I have it somewhere and all it needs done is to be added the template. I tried it with the sidebar but it didnt show up. And do you perhaps still have the code or maybe some sort of method to put latest / hot threads there?

Sorry to hear your members dont like it : /

Alright I understand but could you give me a reason why some code would simply just not respond in your template ?

I added

<div align="center">
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; Database</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#101010" width="100%" bgcolor="#222222">


$reviewpostfeature
$reviewpostcats

<br />

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

And it simply doesnt show up... is it because its a variable and not direct HTML?

amykhar
04-18-2006, 04:06 PM
It has to be in scope. If it is not declared early in the process, it won't work. The column templates have to be set up before the header template is called. The hook that gets that done is really too early in the file. There needs to be one closer to the display of the header and after some stuff has been calculated in global.php.

In the left_column or right_column depending on which you want to put the navigation, replace the entire contents with:

Hello there,

I don't think anyone answered this question that someone else asked a while back:

How do you limit the column to show up on a specific thread? For example, I'm trying to use this product to list links to pages of an online user guide. My forum is a fixed, centered table and I don't want the column on any other page EXCEPT for the "User Guide" thread. Can anyone help shed some light on this (and please be specific in your reply because I'm not a code-head).

Thanks!

midihead
04-26-2006, 09:22 PM

Just installed this....I have added the code that prevents this from working on vbadvanced index...

I have added the code a member added on here for a block, Now the thing is the
block only shows on the forum home, Howd do i get the blocks to show on all
pages please?

Als there was a hack released for to run with amy's 2 colum hacks, its the one for the
vbadvanced modules to show in the colums, i cannot find it :( I have searched all morning :(

Please advise?

OK having issues with this. I can get the hack in great and get the left column but as soon as I add anything such as stats or login box in that left column they don't show. It's like something is not allowing that info to iniitate. The stats are fine in the main body of the sforum but they don't work in the left. This goes for anything I add, whether it's events, birthdays, login. Any ideas?

i got everything working, right and left sides. :) thank you...

however, when i copy the login/member info stuff to one of the side bars, i only get the info i would when loged out. no member info shows up. same if i move nav links there.

it all shows as default/not logged in status.

if there something else i need to do to get that info in the columns?

at the moment, all i did was copy/paste from the nav bar template.

in the header and footer templates before the edit that you make for this to work add<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='index'">then after the added code add</if>Alternatively there is a modification that just displays the column on the forumhome.

[vB 3.5.4] Side column on forumhome only (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=112704)

how can i get this aligned with the left side of the forum?...there is a gap between the actual edge of forumhome and the column...i would like to remove it

boxed in green is the gap i'm talking about

[edit...nevermind...i was being dumb and editing header change instead of new template]

Amykhar, great modification! One question, how can I add more than one block (with block title) to this column? Thanks!

Update: I was able to add a new block by opening a new <td>. See below example:


<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; Block #1</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="BLOCK#1 BG COLOR HERE">

<!-- Block #1 Begin custom code -->
<!-- Block #1 End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; BLOCK#2</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="#BLOCK#2 BG COLOR HERE">

<!-- Block #2 Begin custom code -->
<!-- Block #2 End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

Hope this is of use to some people...

I don't get this to work for the treadview, calendar, memberlist ....

As I just use the collums to do a better layout (the l/r colums don't get any contain) I didn't use the .xml file (I don't know what to do here anyway).

So the colums work fine expect on Threadview, Calendar and Memeberlist (maybe there are even more pages not working properly with the colums).

What do I have to do to make the collums appear on those pages?

I use 3.0.3

Thx

PS: I have tried this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=484972&postcount=44 but it didn't work.

This modification is for 3.5.x not 3.0.x

OK, so you say, when I update to 3.5.x I wont have these probs in the threadview or calendar etc.?

It works properly all over except the pages I have mentioned, you may have an idea what is different on those pages where it won't work and give me a hint what to edit so that everything shows up properly on 3.0.3?

I have also searched this forum for 3.0.x releases but could not find anything... :cross-eyed:

You will have a template called leftcolumn which is the one that you need to edit to add content to it.

Did you perform the edits to both the header and the footer?

Can you post the content of your leftcolumn template, ensuring that it is wrapped in [ code][/code] tags please.

please can you post the contents of your header, footer, and leftcolumn templates, ensuring that they are wrapped in [ code][/code] tags. It has to be something local to your style as you are the only person experiencing this problem.

OK, your footer and leftcolumn are spot on.

Your column start code is completely missing from your header template though. Have you placed it somewhere else (eg navbar) or omited that step?

ok, something I just noticed. In your footer template (I missed it before) you have the end column code in there twice


<tr>
<td class="footer"><div class="sdcopyright"> </div></td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table></body>
<!--EndSdFooter-->
<!-- Left Column Code -->
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- End Left Column Code --> Delete the one that appears here.

After deleting that, try it again and report back with what happens. If possible, provide a link to your site and a test login if it is only affecting pages that are not accessible to guests.

Also for debugging purposes, please enable HTML comments in your source as a temporary measure. This is done via vBOptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > YES

I just added this to my forum (3.6) and it works great with 1 minor exception. When I view a thread (showthread.php) it seems to disalign some of the tables. Anyone know a fix to this problem?

Everything else seems to be working okay.

08-15-2006, 03:22 PM
I posted this in the thread for right column, but I will put it here as well since I don't think everyone is checking both threads (and this is the one I am actually using anyway) ;)

For the width issue, what worked for me was removing

$spacer_close
$spacer_open

wherever it occurred - but only in the templates for the problem areas. For me it showed fine everywhere (even showthreads page) except for the Members list and the Calendar. I removed that from both of those templates and now all is good. Hope this helps someone.


Now the problem I am having, is that I would like the footer (the What's Going on box) to go the full width of the page. I accomplished that with the navbar by using that template instead of the header one, but I'd like to find a fix for the bottom if possible. I think it will look much cleaner that way.

thanks for the hack..

few questions though...

first of all, where exactly in the header template would u add the code...?
i added at the very top, above evrything else and then added it in the footer...

it added the right block, though it wasnt possitioned complete to the left as u have it on your screenshot, there was a gap between the block and the left side of the skin..also, i am not using a fixed template so as I added the blocked it streeched the main skin it self to the right adding a scroll bar at the bottom..

also, where would u edit the content of the block
and also, how would u another one right under it?

thanks

I just added it to 3.6.0 too. Likewise, everything looks fine except that in the threadview, it all expands from 1000 pix (my default vb width) to 1160 pix with the left side bar added in. Again, this is only on thread view and the rest of the site doesn't exceed the normal 1000 pix I have it defaulted to...

If anyone know a fix for this, I'd like to know, too

P.S for Anyone: Also, I'm using this mod for Google Adsense ads. They really shouldn't be displayed on all pages (such as thread editing pages). Is there a way with PHP to know what vbulletin page you are on and then using if/then/else determine whether to display the left column or not?

Rik,

Have a look at instructions in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1011784&postcount=315). They explain how to not have it on the register page. You add more pages by using the same variable and getting the script name from the top of the php file and adding an or to your conditional so you might end up with a conditional like this (well actually you won't but I just picked some pages that I kow the script names of)
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='register' || THIS_SCRIPT!='index' || THIS_SCRIPT!='private' || THIS_SCRIPT!='adv_index'">

Whatever you do don't actually use that conditional as it will not display on your vBAdvanced (if you use it), your forumhome, private messaging, and registration pages. That is just a sample to show how to put more pages into the conditional.

Thats going to be fun, as it will need some fancy conditional work

(actually not really, but it sounds good lol)

In your footer wrap the edit with <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='index'">additional stuff for the column</if>

Then in your forumhome template above the whats going on box code, add the code normally put in the footer.

It's not tested, but you shouldn't have any problems.

Has anyone attempted to see if this mod works on vb 3.6.1? I'm using 3.6.0 and it works excellently. But it appears that the vb 3.6.1 upgrade requires many template changes.

As I find this mod more important than the improvements in 3.6.1, I would rather wait to hear from someone else before attempting the changeover.

Any reports yet?

Thanks. -- Rik

Kerry-Anne - i forgot to let you know, that didn't work for me, it shifted things all over. But that's OK, I've gotten used to the footer the way it is. I have a new problem though that I just became aware of since I use IE and it only seems to happen in Firefox.

The line "All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:06 AM." in the footer gets pushed way over and to the top so that you have to scroll to the right a whole page width. Any idea how to correct that?

I've been searching this thread for the answer but haven't found yet.

This hack works great. However I have a fixed width of 900px (centered) and this hack bumps my content out the length of my left column. I changed the header width and that worked for most of my pages. However the showthread table is still pushed out.

How do I get this to work on the showthread page?

That is not possible with this modification as the edits are to the header and footer templates and therefor anything inbetween forms the right column of the two column layout.

For example, if I put this:

Hi,

I put this column under my navbar, which looks verry well :)

I also added a few conditionals to have it only show on some forums...

But..
In the leftcolumn template, I removed all code, and added a $variable from a plugin I made.
But it won't show :confused:
the plugin includes a php-page which has for example: $var = "test";
the leftcolumn template has: $var

It did show when I used peterska2's show left column on front page hack.
But I deinstaleld that one, and trying to use this one ;)


Why doesn't it show a plugin variable ?



edit, even without the forum-conditionals it doesn't show anywhere, not even on the main page :(


btw, if someone also wants forum-conditionals, use this:
<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(2,3,4,5))">
add ur html here
</if>

Where 2, 3, 4, etc are forum-id's
:)

Okay, I tried some area's out, and it works in cache_templates.
I dunno if that's the best one though o_0

I guess I think how it works..
level 1 is the main template. u can use global_start and prolly forum-home stuff here.
level 2 is the template within the template, which I'm in prolly now... and that doesn't work with level 1 hooks...

Is that correct ?

I need to show the category list which stored in database on the sidebar. I tried to write php code in a seperate file and add this php file as a plugin. which is like follows:

php file: forum_leftbar_plugin.php

<?php
function display_categories() {
$sql = "SELECT blablabla FROM blablabla";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$categoryID = $row[0];
$title = $row[1];
print("
<div class='leftsidebutton'>
<a href='#' class='link'>$title</a>
</div>
");
}
}
display_categories();
?>


and this is a plugin which I add into global_start of both Right Column and vBulletin product.


ob_start();
include(path/to/file/forum_leftbar_plugin.php');
$forum_leftbar_plugin = ob_get_contents();

I actived either one of them at a time, but when I loaded page from ie browser, it gave me this error message: ('null' is null or not an object) And the left bar has been disappeared.

Yes, and yes. Although with vBAdvanced it will move everything to the right to make room for the column on the left.

How do I add a gap between the two different tables? You can see here that they are stacked on top of each other, but I'd like there to be a space in the middle. In the left_column template there is a <br /> after the last </table> statement. Underneath that I copied the new <table> code. I tried adding a second <br /> between the two and it didn't change anything. What am I missing? As you can see in the screen shot, I'd like there to be a gap between the boxes like the gap between the categories. Here's a screen shot and the code.

<table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="95%">

There's already a <br /> there so I tried adding a second one, and nothing happened. On IE7 the second table isn't even under the first table, it's to the right of it... and it's overlapped by the other sections of the forum, such as the categories.

Ryan,

Double check your code. You have a malformed section here

<tr>
<td class="alt1"><a href="billspaypal.php?">$vbphrase[billspp_donate]</a></td>
</tr>
<!-- End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>

get rid of the </td></tr> above the </table> and you should be right as rain then.

Hmm, I don't know then, Hopefully Kerry-Anne will come back and help your question and mine too :)

Kip,

Yes you can use conditionals such as<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != showthread">to stop if from appearing on other pages. You need to find the names for the scripts which are defined inside each file near the top. This conditional will need to be placed around the header and footer template edits.

Thanks Kerry-Anne. I think the only spot I won't have it on is my user cp and perhaps threads. What do you recommend? Or do you think it should be done on every page of the site?

I suppose it depends, but just trying to get an idea.

You can stop it from showing in the usercp and threads by using this conditional around your header and footer template edits.

<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT != 'showthread') AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'profile') AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'usercp')">
Template edit for this modification here
</if>


Ok, maybe I'm an idiot but I can't find where to edit the information in the new column? It works with 3.6.4 right?

There is a new template called left_column in your style manager.

Is it ok if I use the navbar to put the code in instead of the header? It looks better on my site using it like that. And it's ok if I change the width of the column in the navbar template to something other than 160?

One other thing:

I found the "<" there was an extra one in the intial leftcolumn.txt (if you ever get a chance you should remove that.

<<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

And I have one last question:

Is there a way to drop down the side column to be level with the threads in the forum header? (So they line up? But only on the forum display?)

Because it looks good on the forum home... but as soon as I look at forum display it doesn't look that good.

This hack has a template conflict in IE under to following conditions:

http://www.prenatalyogacenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2061

If you have a fixed width forum
Are trying to post images in a GARS forum

This is complicated and I do not know how to fix it.

Here's the deal.

left column hack works fine for most pages on fixed width boards. The only page it doesn't work with is the post view. If order to make it work you need to change your spaceropen template from:

<!-- open content container -->
<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" align="center"><tr><td class="page" style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
<else />
<div align="center">
<div class="page" style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]; text-align:$stylevar[left]">
<div style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
</if>

to the following:

<!-- open content container -->
<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td class="page" style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
<else />
<div align="center">
<div class="page" style="width:100%; text-align:$stylevar[left]">
<div style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
</if>

That makes the post view look fine. However when you convert the forum to a GARS forum and then add images, the entire thing breaks. and the width gets all jacked up.

There is some conflict between the left column, the spaceropen template and GARS.

But I have no clue what. All I know is that when I remove the left column and revert the spaceropen template, the GARS forum looks fine. And when I remove the GARS forum but leave the left column and the spaceropen (with the width change above) everything is fine.

I just can't have both.

You should take a look at the vBa's User Manual at the site; explains how to make the forum included as a vBa page.

how do i add some of the VBA boxes to this. I want the poll and recent threads to show up.
is it hard or is it easy to do.


Well, what if I do not have Vbadvanced installed on the forums?

It there a way to add
1. latest threads
2. Rss Feeds (maybe)
3. Polls

on this sidebar.. it would be a valuable addition to the mod.
I've been using it this mod for a while now but if someone can tell us how to add poll to this coloumn.

pls assist,

I was curious if it would be tough to modify this code slightly?

I'm looking for it to exclude certain forums, instead of include them. In other words, I want the left column to show up everywhere, except the forumid's that I list in this conditional.. Can anyone please help with this?

Thanks!

Hi,

I put this column under my navbar, which looks verry well :)

I also added a few conditionals to have it only show on some forums...

But..
In the leftcolumn template, I removed all code, and added a $variable from a plugin I made.
But it won't show :confused:
the plugin includes a php-page which has for example: $var = "test";
the leftcolumn template has: $var

It did show when I used peterska2's show left column on front page hack.
But I deinstaleld that one, and trying to use this one ;)


Why doesn't it show a plugin variable ?



edit, even without the forum-conditionals it doesn't show anywhere, not even on the main page :(


btw, if someone also wants forum-conditionals, use this:
<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(2,3,4,5))">
add ur html here
</if>

Where 2, 3, 4, etc are forum-id's
:)

I'm trying to call a template name for a plugin I created to display banner ads and randomize them the template name is $randads but it will not display the banners on this new version 1.1 sidebar.

I know it works because I can add $randads to say the ForumHome template and it works fine. Any ideas how to fix this new 1.1 sidebar to allow templates to be loaded as you used to be able to in 1.0.2?
