Put a Column on the RIGHT side of every forum page

[amykhar]

Rather than clutter up the left column thread with this second product and confuse the issue further, I have made a separate product for those of you who want a column on the right side instead.

This can easily be combined with the left column product (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91888) to have a column on both sides.

To use this with the left column product, change the header code to:

<!-- Left Column Code -->
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

[sabret00the]

find:
<!-- Left Column Code -->

and replace with
<!-- Right Column Code -->

:p







Great work, thanks for sharing.

[jugo]

Would it not be simplet to just create a template modification on the header and footer and leave it at that?

[amykhar]

In some ways, yes. But, this creates a separate template for the menu contents which makes it easier to maintain for some. The header template can get full with ad banners and other things.

For some novice users, this is an easier method.

Good point. Thanks.

Is there a way to make this ONLY show in the forumhome and not in every forum page?

-Michael

[amykhar]

Yes. Look in the left page hack. There is the syntax to make it not show on the portal page. Change that to make it ONLY show on the forumhome.

[Wordplay]

is it possible to include just templates in here?

[amykhar]

Not sure what you are asking.

[ohgenki]

i have a problem, when i browse threads that have attachments in them (i have thumbnails enabled) the page will be resized into my whole screen's resolution, thereby resulting in a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom needing me to scroll to the right to see the right panel.

i don't have this problem when i browse categories or threads that have no attachments, i checked the attachment templates, they didn't specify a size, weird...anyway to solve this ?

[amykhar]

ohgenki, I find it impossible to debug issues like this for users who don't display their forums in your member profile here. I can't recreate the problem on my site and I can't see your site; so without seeing your full style in action I am unable to help you.

Amy

[ohgenki]

alright, this is an example:

http://www.ohgenki.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50923&page=4

the scroll bar at the bottom is only present when viewing threads that contains attachments. also, this problem lies only with the right panel, if i put the panel to the left, it has no such problems.

screen shot:

[amykhar]

Can't view the thread because login is required. Can't see the whole page in the screenshot, nor can I view the source to see what might be going on. Try it on a test board with the default style and see if you have the same problem. If not, you're probably going to have to do some page validation work and tinkering with your style to get things aligned as you want them.

[Wordplay]

Not sure what you are asking.

i mean is it possible to show what's in a template in that column? i'm trying to get your who's online avatars hack to show up in that column, without all the info, just showing the avatar and linking to that user's profile. can you please help me with this?

[amykhar]

I'm sorry, I don't have time to help people get dynamic data into the columns at this time. Each kind of dynamic data is essentially it's own modification.

[Emil]

I really like this right column thing and I find it to be very useful and I really want to use it on my board.. But there's one thing I have to fix before I can use it..

It's working good on all pages except for on the view thread pages.. For some reason it contracts the thread part. View the attached screenshot to understand what I mean..

Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks

I have a similar problem. Mine seems to expand the header when viewing thread, making the sidebar very tiny.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. Mine seems to expand the header when viewing thread, making the sidebar very tiny.
is there a solution for this problem right now?!

[thetoolman]

i had the same problem. i had to remove all the spacer_close and spacer_open tagsd from all the templates... then it works.

From what templates?

[thetoolman]

from all templates

[jugo]

There seems to be an issue with this and the spacer Tempates...

I'm sure it's simple html...BUT it's not working correctly.

I am using all DEFAULT TEMPLATES except for the header, but the only change in the header is my images.

So there IS a problem with this and the spcer templates.

[Bellinis]

I think this is the plugin I was looking for... :rolleyes:

Can I use this to show a Google adsense skyscraper on the right side of my forum? My forum uses a fixed width.

[Roxie]

from all templates

I'm not sure I understand. From every single template??

[thetoolman]

yes thats what i did and it worked for me.

[jugo]

why not just edit the two templates and clear them out ...that way you just edit two templates and leave the rest.

[HawKe]

I added this right-side column code (thanks so much, by the way) and noticed an odd behavior on the posts which begin underneath the header bar that contains the "thread tools, search this thread, rate thread... etc" drop-downs.

In the attached pic you'll see that the width of the posts are a bit thinner than the normal area - and it looks odd. This happened after adding the code for the right column.

Has anyone else seen this and does anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy it? I'd like to "unsquish" my posts so the forum looks correct again.

PS. This does not show up on the main forum page, just the Showthread areas when you are viewing posts.

How can i replace the black name & add my content inside the block?

Just search for the template called "left_column"

You can then make changes in there.

[Allan]

is it possible just on forumhome ?

[yinyang]

yup.

just follow the instructions, but instead of inserting after header, insert after (or before depending on your style) $header on forumhome template. and instead of inserting into $footer, insert right before $footer on forumhome template.

hope that helps!

I put the code in forumhome. But there is still a problem on the forumhome page.

1) The spacing is not quite right down the right side. I would not like the right column to squish up against up against the other tables with the screen width is shrunk using the favorites side by in any browser window.

2) Also notice the column on the right side spacing is wider than the left side spacing.

My quetsion is I want to have the forums formatted in such a way that there is NO horizontal scroll bar appear at 800 x 600 screen resolution or above.

I got it installed but my theme expands to fit any screen, yet this one stretches it so you have to scroll over to view the right column.

This only happens on the forum home.

[HawKe]

yup.

just follow the instructions, but instead of inserting after header, insert after (or before depending on your style) $header on forumhome template. and instead of inserting into $footer, insert right before $footer on forumhome template.

hope that helps!Hmmm. I've tried both methods now, and neither seems to eliminate the additional indention found within the actual thread views.

Home page, forums pages are all good - but there must be extra code added in the final thread views. If anyone nails this down (what to eliminate), please let me know. Thanks!

Here is my forum, with a thread example:

In the install instructions it says "Import the product XML file".

I've got the XML file but I don't see any option to import XML files (other than style files) in vB3.5.1. I assume this file should be uploaded to /forum/includes/xml - if this is the case is the filename right being right_column.xml?

I've then created a template called right_column and put the code that for the graphic I want to display in this area. The code is fine.

A blank column / space appears on the right hand side of my forums but that's all. No block is displayed (title or graophic contents). What have I done wrong?

Edit the template rightcolumn to your specifications. The samplae code in there can be used as a template.

[CyberRanger]

Does anyone have a fix yet for it making the thread squeezed?

I'm not sure if this is the kind of fix you want but I decided the right column looked better if it extends down the entire page instead of within the header and the footer.

I placed the sidebar code at the very top of the header template and near the bottom of the footer template.

So, the top of the header template looks like this:<a name="top"></a>
<!-- Right Column Code -->
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Right Column Code --> and the footer template has this:<!-- Right Column Code -->
</td>
<td valign="top" width="160" align="left">$rightcolumn</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- End Right Column Code -->
<br />

<div align="center">
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->

Your statement puzzles me. "Out of the box" this works fine except for a minor formating issue when viewing posts. Why do you say "not at all"?

[cmiller1014]

"Out of the box" on 3.5.3 it is much more than a minor fomatting issue. The entire last post in a thread is put into its own column making the site twice as wide.

Like I said, it simply doen't work.

You must of installed it wrong or have a crappy formatted skin. Post a link to your site so we can see. It works great on my 3.5.3 site.

Are you taking about the content inside the boxes on you homepage? If so, try lowering the table padding. 10 is a bit much.

I've tried removing every <br /> in my navbar template and it hasn't fixed it.

[b00k]

remove it from the right side bar top or adcolumn top, whichever youre using.

[jokerz]

At first, I didn't like this right column because I tried to figure out how to get this column under the navbar, not very top next to the header. Finally I figured out, also I wanted to display the column on forum index only - not in every forum page. Now.. This is good column :) Thanks for it.

DJCobol:

From what TSR said. Check very top <br /> in product xml or right side bar codes you have.

[ffevo]

I guess noone can help me?

To display only on your forum index

In your header template:
Find:$leftcolumn

Replace it with <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == index">$leftcolumn </if>

And in your Footer template:

Find:$rightcolumn

Replace it with: <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == index">$rightcolumn</if>

[Mastar]

Any suggestions on how modifying the templates to only place the side bar next to the threads and not the header / footer? It would make for a cleaner look overall if the header especially was left alone.

Try using <br /> as many times in your columns.

Just curious if anyone has figured out how to install this without messing up the widths.

Thanks for doing that but I didn't ask for how to put this hack on forum index only.

I am no longer using this hack because the column was not correct align, it kept over the fixed width or whatever. I've got mine worked.

[arossphoto]

Can you include php files in this column using the standard method recommend in the vB manual?

I've created a plugin to include a php file, and tested it on another test template, but when I put the variable in the right column template nothing happens.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,

masterross: move the code from your header to the navbar, depending on how your style is setup, if you have forum description in the navbar, put the code right before that. Then it will be fixed.

In your right_column template find<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">
replace with<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">
this lines it up to the right with your style.

This is because the modification is designed and written to go in the header template, not the navbar template. Placing it in the navbar template increases the number of nested tables which is what causes this problem. Without having to edit a lot of additional templates, the only way to fix this issue is to place the code in the header as intended and not the navbar

[peterska2]

In your header template just before the added code add<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='adv_index'">and after the added code add</if>repeat this for the footer template. The column will then be ignored for the vBAdvanced index page.

Great modification for VBulletin!

One question, how can I add more than one block (with block title) to this column? I have the first one set up how I like but would like to have 1 or 2 more below it. Thanks!

Update (example from my left column):



<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>
<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>

[peterska2]

In your right column template, before you start adding content to it, copy the contents of the template and paste it at the end of the template to create another block. Paste as many times as required.

Thanks again Peterska2 ;) I managed to figure it out just before you were so kind as to reply (perhaps you channeled it directly into me hehe). One thing though, the top of the sencond block sticks to the very bottom of the first block. Is there any easy way to put a little space between them?

[peterska2]

Stick an extra <br /> or two between the blocks to break them up a bit more.

and np :)

you need to edit the rightcolumn template via the style manager

it's possibly because this is a custom template. Try adding it to below (or above) $right_column in either your header or footer template (I can't recall off the top of my head which on it is in for the right column - sorry)

[peterska2]

This is because these scripts are third party scripts. I suggest removing the column from these pages. Alternatively it can be written to include them (I think) but it will not be a nice neat solution.

Thank you for the kind response! :) I hate to ask, but what would be the best solution for that? I'm unclear when this is global. Thanks again!

[peterska2]

ok, you will need to open the scripts for those pages in a text editor (notepad or wordpad is good for this) and look for where it says something like define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index');then use the instructions in post 129 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1027040&postcount=129) to add the exclude, replacing adv_index with whatever your files have THIS_SCRIPT defined as. If you need to exclude it from more than one page use <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='your_page' && THIS_SCRIPT!='another_page'">replacing your_page and another_page with the correct text. You can add as many pages to the exclude as you need to with this.

[Blown Beauty]

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to explain that!! :) This has been a wonderful product and I'm so appreciative of the extra help, too! Be safe!

[Electrohead04]

Will this work with 3.6? :\ I'm gonna try it anyway lol

[Moonkat]

That's what I'm wondering :)

[peterska2]

There is no reason why it won't work in 3.6 :)

[JenniferK]

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.

[Fewski]

Excellent product!

Only problem is, if you have a border around your forum (Before the real background) the colum doesn't include that, so it looks a little funkey.

Here's a screen:

[jwashburn]

Could some one explain to me how to move it below the navabar? I saw some posts about adding <br />

In the installation instructions, there are two template edits, one of which is for the header template and the other is for the footer template.

Put<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='adv_index'">before the edits and</if>after them.

Finally got this working. One question though... How do I get rid of the box surrounding the ad, which at the top says, "block user"? See screenshot.

DELETE IT.

I would like to use this EXACT hack. But as a left column. I like it blank so i can put google ads etc.

The other thread with the left column hack has seems to move the current navigation etc. Just need this plain right colum hack on the left. Possible?

[jpfitness]

Yes. Look in the left page hack. There is the syntax to make it not show on the portal page. Change that to make it ONLY show on the forumhome.
Where do I find this "syntax"? I would like for the column to only show up on my main page as well.

ok tried this hack. and work perfect except for the show threads template. Non of the table widths are obeyed and it's totolly off. Any quick tips on what to make sure of on the showthreads.php template?

[jpfitness]

yup.

just follow the instructions, but instead of inserting after header, insert after (or before depending on your style) $header on forumhome template. and instead of inserting into $footer, insert right before $footer on forumhome template.

hope that helps!

This is confusing. I am trying to make my vertical ads appear only on forum home, but not on any inside pages. I tried to follow these directions, but didn't find the code you were referring to. Can you further explicate?

[onewaydom]

Hello, when I click on the forum I would like for the right side column to remain either (a) on the right (b) just dissapear. Right now when I click on a forum it distorts the entire bottom of my page, the footer.

check it out..

www.atlanticblvd.com/forum


advice?

thanks..

[hydn]

Here's my code:

Header:
<!-- Right Column Code -->
<table border="0" width="865" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Footer:
</td>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">
<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="130">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>My info here</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- Begin custom code -->
<!-- End custom code -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>My info here</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- Begin custom code -->
<!-- End custom code -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- End Left Column Code -->



It works perfect as a right colum. How do I move it to the left? Can I edit what's above?

Thanks

[peterska2]

@ hydn, check the first post and there is a link to the left side version there.

@ jpfitness, see post #174 for how to stop the column from appearing on the portal, or check my profile for on forumhome only.

@ onewaydom, can you confirm exactly where you put the second template edit or if you have already resolved this. If it is not resolved, please also supply a test login for your site as it is not accessible to guests.

Nevermind... I finally figured it out based on the info in that last post I quoted. Sometimes it helps if you just take things extremely literally! Thanks for all the help on this.

[hydn]

@ hydn, check the first post and there is a link to the left side version there.


the first post says:

"To use this with the left column product, change the header code to:"

I don't have the left column product installed. Can i just edit to make it work? or will I have to have TWO products install just to get one to work?

[peterska2]

the line above that contains the link to the left column product, or you can search for it (www.vbulletin.org/forum/search.php), or you can find the link in amykhar's profile.

Thanks. Which now bring me back to my original post in this thread:

I would like to use this EXACT hack. But as a left column. I like it blank so i can put google ads etc.

The other thread with the left column hack has seems to move the current navigation etc. Just need this plain right colum hack on the left. Possible?

[peterska2]

The left column one is identical to this one but on the left.

The only thing I can think of that is causing confusion here is that there is an optional] add-on available for that one which is a completely seperate modification that is for vertical site navigation.

The core left column on all pages modification is the mirror image of this one - check the screenshots if unsure.

Finally, if there is still any confusion regarding that modification, then please post in that thread instead of this one as it is not relevant to this modification.

[puregraf]

great hack, installed

[puregraf]

hi, i installed and it works great. i was wondering, can i make this module collapsable? if so, how do i do this?

edit.

[puregraf]

In your header template just before the added code add<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='adv_index'">and after the added code add</if>repeat this for the footer template. The column will then be ignored for the vBAdvanced index page.

thanks.

also, how can i fix my arcade page: http://www.puregraffiti.com/graffiti-space/arcade.php?
theres a big blank spot where the right nav should go but its not showing. i would like it to show on the arcade page

also, how can i make it not appear also on my photopost main index page which is : http://www.puregraffiti.com/graffiti-gallery/index.php

I dont mind if it shows on all the other photopost pages, i just dont want it to show on that main page


thanks so much!!

[puregraf]

my arcade isnt working now because of this install, the users finish the game and go to save the score and instad of saving it it takes them to an error pagE: http://www.puregraffiti.com/graffiti-space/index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore

do you know how to fix this?

thanks

[wacnstac]

Great hack! I use this to display Google ads, but would like to know how to extend this hack so that two Google ads would be displayed on longer threads and only one Google ad on short threads. Any ideas?

[Lonny]

does it work for 3.6.2 ?

[amykhar]

As well as it worked for any other version ;)

[NSeXcellent]

Quick question so I dont have to read through every page here. Where do I go to add content to this navbar? I am having trouble with that :)

[bluemike]

Here's my code:
Footer:
</td>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">
<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="130">

How can it work if the footer code starts with an incomplete tag (i.e. there is no <td> for your </td>?

[rob30UK]

Dunno if someone knows the answer to this, but for some reason in my right_column template, $show['member'] always evaluates to false.... i am showing a login box on the right column, and it is always there.... regardless of being logged in or not.



In addition, none of the other variables needed are being populated.

This is code I want to use <if condition="$show['member']">

<td class="alt2" valign="top">
<div class="smallfont">
<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$pmpercent">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
</div> </td>

<else />

blah

</if>



Anyone have any ideas?

[taumau]

Will this work in the 3.6.0 version?

[germinus]

[Magnetism]

Is it possible to add an image instead of having the default image where the header is?

I hope you know what I mean. If not I'll make up a screenshot in photoshop.

[reach100]

Hi There, thanks for this mod it is exactly what I was looking for. Once installed though, when I drill down to a thread, the right column is pushed all the way to the right, no longer accomodated by the width set in the CP.

I am trying to add an ad under the right column and am pretty stumped, I would like to keep the ad in the "Right_column" template to keep things organized it's a 120x600 vert. Does anyone know how to do this?

I tried to add coding to the "header" and "footer" in the common templates but it ended up being placed beside the right side column and was terrible. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been wanting to do the same thing. I would assume that you just modify the code found in post #106 (to exclude the portal page) to exclude the other pages as well, but I'm not sure what the syntax would be.

I like having the column, but I would like to exclude it from displaying on the calendar, member list, and show thread pages.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide with this.

Hi all,

I uploaded a skin to my forum and I wanted to know how you would create a right column under the navigation bar and over the What's Going On bar? Sorry im very new to this!

Many thanks,

Your fixed width is too narrow, either make the forum width wider or make the column narrow to fit.

Hi,

Can anyone provide the information on how to do this for VB4 and also how to do it for the Left side too. I used to have these on V3 and use them for ads etc and really miss the functionallity.
