It uses 2 things to join on to:

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

$ad_location[ad_navbar_below]

or



Depending on which option you select.

I just uploaded the files, imported the XML. All went well.

I turn on the LEFT/RIGHT column for all pages, and edited Block 1 and Block 10 in the templates, and chose to list it under my header.

Nothing is showing up.

Tips?

you have to goto usergroup and edit then scroll all the way down and find "Ultimate Side Columns Permissions" and set yes

Ok, next question :)

Anyway to use straight PHP Code in the USC 2.2? I am trying to integrate my Auction Site with my forums a bit better, and I want to run some of the auciton code into the left side column

Having installed the product, we're getting errors in the "USB Sidebar Options" areas under "Display Pages for Left Column" and "Display Pages for Right Column" saying:

An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks.

I'm attempting manual edits. I just want a right side column. Where would I put the beginning code to start my right sidebar underneath the navbar? I'm able to easily get it so that its next to the navbar, but what if I wanted it to start underneath the navbar.

Thanks.

I'm having a few problems with the content in my blocks:

Block 12: It only show new threads and not new posts, here is the code I used:

Code:

<if condition="$vbulletin->options['externaljs']">

<!-- show latest active threads -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">

<tr>

<td class="tcat">

<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_external')"><img 

id="collapseimg_forumhome_external" 

src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_external].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

<a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">Seneste aktive tr?de</a>

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_external" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_external]">

<tr>

 

<td class="alt1" width="100%">

 

<div class="smallfont">

for (x = 0; x < 20; x++)

{

document.writeln("<img class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> <span class=\"time\">($vbphrase[posted_by]: "+threads[x].poster+")</span><br />");

}

//-->

</script></div>

 

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

<!-- show latest active threads -->

</table>

<br />

</if>



<table width="100%" class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]">

Block 13: the search field doesn't work, I used this code:

Code:

<tr>

<td class="tcat"><a href="http://www.ontopic.dk/search.php">S?g p? forum</a></strong></span></td>

</tr>

<table width="100%" class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]">

does this column allow certain cell boxes for advertising? like a row with 150x45 pixel pictures w/links to the advertisers site

does this mod only allow 10 blocks on each side of the forum?

07-27-2008 06:57 PM

does anyone know if your allow to rotate the blocks like a rotating banner but just the blocks within the column

I have installed USC 2.2 and it shows up as an installed product, just as indicated by lstintxs100's screen shots on this page: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...dmincp&page=24

Now my problem is, I don't see where I go to configure the blocks. I understand I need to find blocks 1-10 for the left side and 11-20 for the right side, but I don't see the option of editing this anywhere.

Can someone please help me locate where I should go to edit these options? Thanks!

Thank you, I found it and added table into #11, expecting to see a right column. It still isn't showing up, but I have to check my permissions. I have admin rights on this forum, but a few things are restricted by the main admin. I'm hoping that is the problem, but if anyone has any ideas on how to see this change take effect, I'd love to hear from you. This is pretty much a regular board, with vbAdvanced installed.

RrCoX22

does anyone know how to increase the number of blocks and have them rotate?

Installed this some time ago and didn't think there was a problem till I checked the server error logs. Was getting a Fatal error: Cannot use assign-op operators with overloaded objects nor string offsets. Turns out this plugin also doesn't like the misc.php the error was steming from misc.php?do=bbcode. I went and found where you put in the fix for profile.php and added !='misc' for that one as well. Most likely a temp fix and look forward to a new update on this plugin.

When I downloaded the Mod the only files I got were USC_22 and __MACOSX. Nothing else. Any ideas? TIA.

lstintxs100

07-30-2008 06:10 PM

There are two directories. usc_22 contains the product and files to upload.

RrCoX22

07-30-2008 06:52 PM

think it clearly states that 2.1 needs to be downloaded first...

anyone have any word on this expansion pack? I would like to have 20+ blocks on one side!

07-31-2008 12:01 AM

*** Update ***
I got this to work, I was not going into "vBulletin Options" and then "Ultimate Side Column Options" to edit the settings. Now it works like a charm. I'll leave this message here just in case anyone else has this problem.
*** /Update ***

I am having a problem getting the right col to show up. I have installed version 2.2, and went into usergroups and made all of my groups able to see the right col. I refresh my view of the forum, even log out and back in again and still no right column.

I put a table into block 11 (first block on right side) with just some simple text in it (test col) and this does not show up. See code below:

usc_block_11
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>Test Col</td>
</tr>
</table>

The only variable that is in my configuration that may be a problem is that I have the vBadvanced Dynamics addon installed. Not sure if this would cause this not to show up though since vBadvanced doesn't mess with col's in the forum to my knowledge.

Anyone have any ideas or a place I could go to troubleshoot further?

07-31-2008 09:09 AM

oh wow this is a truely amazing mod... i didn't even realize that 10 blocks on each side is plenty enough for what I need to do.

INSTALLED!

Try again or right click and save as. I just downloaded it again to test and the files were there in internet explorer.

Hi All,

I am stuck. I uploaded the files from [UPLOAD]... and deleted the usc_upgrade.php from the AdminCP directory...

but when I try to import bitfield_usc.xml ... I get an error "Invalid File Specified"

I know I'm missing something.... but I can't figure it out and I already spend 1hr on it.

Please help!:(

Cheers

Still not there. :confused:

RrCoX22

07-31-2008 05:40 PM

tell me if I'm wrong but is there more that I have to do besides this?

First Step...

Open FTP - > Open USC_22 Folder -> Open Upload Folder - > Open Includes Folder -> Open XML Folder -> Upload the bitfield_usc xml file to root/forums/includes/xml

Next step...

Open vBulletin Admincp -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Click "Add/Import Product" -> Under "Import Product" Box -> Click Browse -> Open "product-ka_ultimate_sidecolumn_2-2 XML Document in the USC_22 folder -> Click Import

And your done!

If this is all that needs to be done I hope that helped some people who are having trouble.

Don't forget to go to VB Options and Styles & Templates to edit the mod configurations to your likings :D

Did you select the pages to show the column on? The heading for that area will be "Display Pages For Right Column". You could select just the forum, or all pages, whatever meets your needs.

And usergroups. everyone including me seemed to overlook that step at some point in the install.

Can anyone else delete links added through the custom contents page in the User CP? When I click the delete button for a link it redirects me to a page saying it was deleted successfully and then takes me back to the custom contents page, but the "deleted" link is still there.

I'm having a problem when I view my board in 1024 px wide resolution. I'm using a fluid width style and only right blocks, but in 1024x768 it's not acting fluid - its acting as if it's fixed.

My main table width is 100% but its stopping half way in the middle of the right block and the right block is overflowing into the background. My right block was set at 300px.

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:07 PM.
