That's what I'm trying to do, but haven't gotten a response yet about putting recent posts (not threads) there.

Hot Damm I disabled that MOD and it now works perfectly!!!!

Thank you Thank Yo Thank You !!!

I would like to know this as well. I am now with a top stats mod. .. It would also be nice to put a poll in the side column.

does any one know how i can add PHP code into the ultimate columns?

please refer to this link -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...70#post1387270

thanks!

you're about the thousandth person.

Installed and works perfectly in my forum.
At this point I am not planning on putting any php or anything in other than text.
Thanks

Thanks for this mod. I found it easy to install and modify for my site

This is a great mod. i am also trying to get php elements of vb to run out of the columns but currently with littlle success. running a javascript mod seems to work ok but I ended up with a screwed up forum when I tried (and failed) to force a php function through the column. Hoping to resolve this as I really want to modify the layout of the forum.... (move the login element, include some statistical stuff etc). i wonder if this will be in vb3.7.

wonderng whether to make a new seperate php template with the stats I want and then use an inlcude page html setting... have a play and I will let you all know if it works. If you hear a bang or smell smoke, I probably failed :eek:

Anyway,

I have removed most of the formatting in the left hand column (prefer to intergrate a seemless column) but still have a white edge on the outer extremity of the individual box. Anyone know how I can get rid of this??

example is here

Thanks in advance for any kicks in the right direction.

BTW, top mod - Clicked install. voted MOTD

Great mod, one problem.

I would like the sidebar to only appear on every page except for my vBadvanced CMPS front page.

Is there any way to set custom variables for what pages the sidebar appears on?

Hi

After adding this product to my site, the site becomes slow and main page loads after a gap of 6 seconds. Helppppppppppppppppp

Works fine in vbulletin 3.7.x
Great mod, just what i was after!

Demo: http://forum.xzorbix.com/

Is there an update for 3.7.0.
They tell me that one of the plugins on my forum is preventing "Rebuild Custom Avatars" from working and this is one of the only 3 mods I have installed.

It works fine for me on 3.7.x i installed it, its just inactive whilst i add content to it.
You can see it here: http://forum.xzorbix.com/ (as posted above)

hi,

i'm newbie here. i still confuse how to make 2 left column. Each column has 1 title.

currently by default there is 1 left column provided and you can add block inside it.

Is there any way to do add another 1 or 2 more column at left side.

Tq.

Ok, got everything working just the way I want it to with just one last tiny problem that cant seem to fix. When viewing site on a big/wide screen the spacing between the left column and the rest of the site is great. As soon as i shrink the viewing area to about less then half, the left column colapses to the rest of forum without any space in between. I added style="padding-right:5px; to the TD width but that only helped a little. Now it only collapses to the 5px and not completely but the gap at full screen became bigger then before. Any ideas?

Am I right that this doesn't support php code in the boxes?
Because Ive just spent hours rtying different variations of php code snippets
like who's online
link to my profile
etc

Reading through this thread it does look like no php will work other than a simple page link URL
but it doesn't say so in the description of the product itself. I think if this is so it should.

If it IS possible to make php links work could someone tell me how?

For example I have

<tr><td> <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">My Profile</a></td></tr>

which copies the php code from the navbar to open my Profile (3.7beta profile not userCP)
As Ultimate on my board is inserted on the end of the navbar I dont see why it doesn't take whatever it needs for php off the navbar template.

I just installed this on 3.7b3 test board and it seems to be working as designed :)

How would I make the side column not sure for certain pages, for exp: test.php?

Installed. Is there a way to make this fluid though. Know what I mean? Like when someone stretches the forum with a pic, it makes it look like crap.

www.dsmpurity.com

Can you show for exp: latest 5 posts, in one of the blocks and how?

I am still having problems with this...

I am running VB 3.6.8 with SP2. I tried in my modified template, and thought maybe I did somehting that screwed it up. I then tried using my default style, which I had not altered. As soon as I put the code in the header and footer files, this happens.

If I view my home page, it looks fine. If I view a forum, and see the threads list, it looks fine. If I view a thread to see the posts, it "breaks" my layout. This occurs even with the columns turned off in the options.

Has anyone run into this??? What am I missing?

This is what it looks like with the right side column on:

Thanks!

hello

when i install i get this

Empty document

I just noticed my problem above only occurs if I set my main table width in pixels, instead of percent. Anyone have any ideas?

I have also tried to use
<?php
echo $image;
?>

I also tried
<?php
echo "test";
?>

but php appears to be disabled in the side columns. What a shame.
Maybe I'm missing something?

So is there no solution on how to make PHP work with this mod?

I have a number of php items I would like to add but it won't work.

It can't be too complicated, there has to be a way to make it work.

Anyone?

Installed and works perfectly!

Thank you!

Everything looks fantastic BUT it stretches my showthread and it's appearing slightly distorted :[ any ideas?
Yes!!! exact same problem. :(

Did you guys added this additional plugin

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=152

This should fix it..

Regards,
Val.

Don't understand a word of the step by step Val

Step one I understand.

Step two, select the xml ive just already installed? I dont get it. Where's the additional plugin? =/

thanks.

All of your steps are within the Add New Plugin page

Look at the screenie.


Good luck.
Val.

To get random images from a php generator I added this Random Banner plug-in

then edited the Ultimate Column left column usc_sidecolumn_left
Admincp > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > All Style Options > Edit Templates>Ultimate Side Columns Templates > usc_sidecolumn_left

and added $random_banner[$random_number] (from the random image generator)
where I wanted the images to display.

tr>
<td class="alt1">
$random_banner[$random_number]
</td>
</tr>
<!-- -->

</table>
</td>

<!-- do not edit below this point -->
<td width="$stylevar[spacersize]">
</td>

fantastic! thanks :cool:

To change the spacing between the forum body and the ultimate side columns the variable is
at the bottom of page when editing usc_sidecolumn_left or usc_sidecolumn_right
Admincp > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > All Style Options > Edit Templates>Ultimate Side Columns Templates > usc_sidecolumn_left

<!-- do not edit below this point -->
<td width="$stylevar[spacersize]">
</td>$stylevars[spacersize]

The spacersize can be edited
All Style Options > StyleVars

The second option is spacersize, spacersize is also used in spacer_open which is used all over the site, I believe, so I'm using caution when changing this variable.

Good luck.

does this work with fluid skin?

I was looking for this to resolve an issue with a single style, worked like a charm!

also - I put the header info in my forum home template underneath my shout box, looks good :)

also - ^^^ my style is fluid.
