I have tried to add the sidebar on custom pages (or at least a page associated with another product)

In this case it is DownloadsII, which has a THIS_SCRIPT name defined as below

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'downloads2');

So for the "custom" page I have the following in the config

register|register*30 <-- this was here originally
downloads2|smoothred

Now this is being ignored. So I assume it is because of the incorrect template name, which is actually Smooth Red. I have tried enclosing in quotes but this doesn't work either.

Is this a problem with the specified template name, or is the problem likely somewhere else?

Thanks

FYI - I am not able to change width. I am using custom style.

gotcha :) No prob, I was just hoping to see something that is put together better ;)

it looks better when it shows up next to the shoutbox how can i make it work on the forums index i tried

index|forumhome now luck also tried FORUMHOME

Smooth Red sounds like the name of a style... I am certain the Template Name of downloads2 is not "smoothred."

To find out the template name go to Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments -> Yes

Now open the Downloads II page, and view the source in your web browser.

The first or second line will be something like:

In this example the template name is iframer_bop5_vb4. (An example from my IFRAMEr mod.)

Custom width hasn't been implemented yet.

To use it on Forum Index turn on the default vBulletin Forum Sideblock. It will be the same thing.

A quick request: Would it be possible to show / hide the sidebar collapse button based on group membership?

At this point based on BOP5's last post I'd suggest putting this suggestion vBulletin's JIRA.

DOH!!!! There is a phrase in my home country that, loosely translated, means "There ain't no pills for stupidity":erm::erm:

Yes, I had templates and styles confused

I can probably add that in, yes. Next update.

awesome, thanks
