- - Miscellaneous Hacks - Ultimate Side Columns 2.2 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=175181)

GREAT MOD!!

I have a style problem:
In Internet Explorer the "Collapse button" remains on one line not at the left side...

Anyone having the same problem?
How can I fix this?

See attached image.

I've just upgraded and the side columns are showing where I have set them in the admin, however I have several pages which do not show side columns because they are not included in the list.

These are mostly pages which have been created by other mods, but version 2.0 worked on all pages. How do I get this feature back?!

Does anyone know what the problem may be?

You haven't uploaded the files in the upload folder. Upload the files in the upload folder then reimport the product.

The files need to be uploaded before the product is imported.

Either use the manual edits setting or delete the old manual edits from your header and footer templates.

You need to enable them, set the permissions for who can view them, and set the pages that they are displayed on. You also need to add some contents. When you have done this you will see your columns.

UPLOAD THE FILES IN THE UPLOAD FOLDER BEFORE IMPORTING THE PRODUCT

This is clearly stated in the upgrade instructions, in the first post of this thread, in the post that was added when the update was released, and was stated in the notification of an update that was sent out to people that have marked this as installed. It is very important to read instructions and follow them exactly.

What condition are you trying to use and what is happening?

This could be something specific to IE. I'll look into it for possible fixing in 2.2

UPLOAD THE FILES BEFORE IMPORTING THE PRODUCT. THERE ARE NEW FILES FOR 2.1

It's making a comeback in 2.2 - I sorta forgot about it in 2.1 :(

Either use the manual edit option in the settings, or use the automatic option and remove the old code added to the templates.

Thats a problem with your firewall. Disable it then download the file again.

I've done the following
- uploaded files
- imported xml (overwrite)
- enabled forum home right column / edit templates manual in vbulletin options
- manually edited forumhome template accordingly

Now, Out of the 20+ templates USC creates, I'm baffled which one to edit.

The manual edit shows "usc_right", yet not one of the USC templates shows this. I see usc_sidecolumn_right which already has pre-filled content.

You edit the templates called block_ as per the instructions.

right then, I know this should be clear by now, but it appears that there is a lot of problems following instructions.

USC 2.1 has additional files. You need to upload the files first BEFORE importing the product

2.2 did have more features. Going off the number of people having problems following the instructions to upgrade to 2.1 this is now being scrapped. 2.2 is now going to be a bug fix release only.

The new features are going on indefinite hold and earmarked for 3.0 which will be created when I have time and released when instructions can be followed as it will be complex for the initial setup. As I have previously mentioned, USC has a life of its own and is evolving rapidly. The more it evolves the more complex it will become. If a relatively simple version is causing so much difficulty then version 3.0 is going to have to be rethought. This will not happen quickly as a lot of though needs to be put in to the plans for the future of it.

Thanks Kerry. Finally got this working. However, one slight problem.

I cannot figure out where the line break is coming from. The column should be even with the rest of the forum, left side.

I added the below in the block 11 template, nothing else.
