Hi,
I'm new to this and so far I've been doing pretty well with customizing. I've hit a snag though, and I'm wondering if someone could help. I'm using the Ultimate Side Column to display a right side column on my Forum home page. I know that it said that I could customize this column to include anything I want, but I can't seem to figure out what I need to put there in order to display one of the mini calendars that show on the Calendar page. I've tried so many different things and I'm at the end of patience. Can someone help me? Please forgive me if the answer turns out to be really simple as I've just been fumbling my way through this thing. Thanks so much!!

How would I best display a random image from a directory in one of the blocks? I've tried some javascripts and can't get them to work.

Basically, I have a directory and just want it to snatch one of the images at random and put it into the chosen block every time the page is reloaded.

Thanks!
Joe

I have installed it. this is one of the best hack.

I have the same problem. Can anyone help?

Please upgrade this to add "N" numbers of columns( i.e default is 5 colums). So that it will be easier. And the main problem is when we open the thread its becomes still more thinner. So i think the developer has to fix this bug.

if its a mini calendar as ive shown in the below demo pm me the code is quite complicated

Hi basilrath,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I've seen alot of people asking for this and most of them don't have any responses so I wasn't expecting much!

My boss wants a mini calendar on their new homepage and as I've said, I'm new to all this and have managed everything else so far. But this mini calendar is just breaking my brain!! It looks like it should be so simple since it's being displayed on the calendar pages, so I would have thought that I would just cut and paste a bit of code to add it to the right side column of the main page. I've tried some of the hacks that have been posted but I think they probably work on older versions. I'm using 3.6.5.

If possible, I'd like to just use a hack with what I've got set up so far using Ultimate Side Columns. I know that it's easy enough to do with the VBAdvanced CMPS, but when I used that, it caused problems with the display of the forums page which is something that another programmer set up as the index.php page.

What I'd really like is just some nice neat code to paste into the template of my USC right side column. Is this possible. If not, shoot me the code if you don't mind and I'll do my best with it.

Again, thanks so much for getting back to me!!

Very nice mod! Would you consider updating to allow more flexibility in which pages get the columns and which ones do not? For example, VB Ad management lets you simply specify the names of the scripts to be excluded... Like this:
register|private|search|showthread

I'd much rather use this mod but I can't specify index and forumdisplay at the same time. :)

Cheers!

I need help with a simple formatting issue. I am trying to make my site so that it will display for anyone using a minimum of 1024 X 768 screen resolution. I want to have a 100 px wide column on the left and the right side of the page. You can view the site here:

www.twttestvb.twtex.com

username: guest
password: guest

You may have to login twice.

If you resize the browser window, you can see that it is the center section that includes the Navbar and the content under it that will not resize below a certain point even though the stuff in the header is still resizing smaller.

I checked the "Main table width" in the Syle Manager --> Style Variables and it is set to 100%. I have checked the Navbar template to make sure I don't have a hard coded table width present and everything is set in terms of percentages. Using the CMPS control panel I even disabled the Navbar for when a person is viewing the homepage and I still have the same problem, so I am pretty sure it is not the Navbar causing the problem. I also checked the FORUMHOME template and it too is set to 100% for the table width. Checked the HEADER template and it is also set to 100%.

I must be missing something real simple and it is driving me bonkers! :D
