form admincp

open forumhome.css in the style you want to change or use the master style to effect all styles

change the padding size for #sidebar_container as you wish
eg
padding:47px 0;


you are welcome

Thanks.

I have another problem that I have only just noticed due to the fact that I use Firefox.

It's not displaying properly in IE. I'm not saying it's this plugin, but I wonder if anyone else had the same problem? Basically, If I have too many sidebar blocks, and it goes down further than the forum itself, then the blocks are screwed up and displayed HORIZONTALLY below "What's Going On".

Like I say, it's absolutely perfect in Firefox, problem is with IE.

vb4 had several bugs with IE before that has been fixed maybe this is one of them.

why you don't custimize your sidebar to have less blocks?

Yeah I've had to do that for the time being until I can find a fix.

Does this work fine with 4.0.6? If it doesn't, what are the known issues?

So far it's fine in 4.0.6 It's not on the blog page but that can be added by hand I assume or just use a widget, they look the same. You have way more control with this mod, the 114 version does NOT include the feature to keep the box open like the 1.3.3.

I don't see any problems in I.E. 8 the blocks show up just fine.

Thanks almannai for this mod I appreciate it.

Peace

Your are welcome

Thank you all guys for being here and for you support

Does anyone know if this is the best sidebar for VB4? or is there
something better? I would also appreciate if I could see a demo
of this in action, anyone willing to post their site for review.

Does not seem to function in v4.0.6
Blank sidebar with arrow....
I do not see a block confi option
as mentioned to set to no...

Tried it in IE, and firefox, no change.

Thanks

This mod is using vb4 sidebar to be displayed everywhere in the forum with extra options.

It should work on 4.0.6

Did you add blocks to sidebar?

How To Add Blocks To Sidebar:
From your admincp click on "Forums & Moderators" then click "Forum Blocks Manager". Hit "Add Block" you will see a dropdown list of block types. Select the type of block you want and hit continue. Now set your block and save. You are done and this new block should be shown on your sidebar.

Gotcha, working like a charm... :)

Anybody there to help me out? I don't see this in the mod options page:

So what do I do to disable the minimize the sidebar function?? Please help me out!

:)
If you don't see it this means you still have the old version.

uninstall the old mod then re-install latest one.

If you edit the mod template manually then you need to delete it first

Thanks dear developer! I took the wrong one... thanks for the quick response. Your mod rocks and I have rated it 5*. Keep up the great job!

Dear developer there still a problem... see the picture:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Can you please help??

I see what you mean.

I will try to fix this in the new upgrade.

Dear developer, Is it not possible for you to provide me with a solution that I can do manually with your instructions now? Because this is important for me now. I hope you can help.

Thank You.

You would make life a lot easier on yourself if you just didn't put ads in the sidebar. People will simply get annoyed with them and block them.

No suggestions on how to get the sidebar working on album picture view and picture list pages?

Hello developer, can you please help me out?

install 1.3.4

Thanks a lot almannai!!! Your're a very supportive developer!

you are welcome

Does anyone have a testing site that they could test this on?

I'd really like to find out if it's a problem with just my site or a vb-wide one.

If I hit "New Posts" on my forum right now the sidebar is a lot longer than the center. But it's still all vertical in both IE and FF. Default style.

Hmm, strange one. I have the issue in both custom and default styles. The two blocks currently being screwed with are Tag Cloud and Forum Posts. Will need to test with different blocks to see if it's an issue specifically with these ones.

I'm on 4.0.6 now too.:confused:

Wow. Looks like it's just those two blocks that suffer. Changed the display order so that they were 1 & 2 and the sidebar displays perfectly.:erm:

Can i activate ESB also on CMS and Blog ? If yes, how?

thnx

:)
No

I think you can use widget for that! Never tried though

Ha for me this mod works exactly the other way around :) When I enable it and i am not logged in it forces the sidebar perfectly. The moment I login as admin i don't see them anywere anymore ;)

On 4.0.6. with the 1.3.4. mod

Please ignore my post as I really can't read it seems while its so clear and obvious:

<insert picture of donkey>

:D

I think it is my mistake it should be re-phrased to make it easier to read

eg something like

What you think?:)

great mod , thnk u so much , but if there is a way to hide it in usercp i really appreciate? cause there is another column in usercp already , looks messy

When you hit settings the page will start in "Subscribed Threads"

so you need to disable the sidebar for that you may also need to disable it for "profile"

regards,

how did i miss that option ? thank you so much (show in calendar and pm should be disabled too)

Thanks for this mod. I liked the sidebar and now can use the extra ad spaces throughout the entire forum!

:)

have a good day

Fantastic mod, it seems crazy that this is not a default option.

All that said, I am going to be really picky as the alignment is just not quite right for me. My current install looks like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/08/13.jpg

I would really like the top of the sidebar to be at the same vertical level as the main conent div to the left of the sidebar.

Anybody got any ideas on how to do that?

search this mod thread and you will find the answer

:)

Just incase anybody else is searching the thread for a solution to this vertical alignment of the sidebar issue, the resolution is:

Open the forumhome.css template and find the #sidebar_container declaration, in there change the padding value to suit your site. I set mine to 50px (original value is 17px)

To many ppl asked about this so I add it to main thread
