Clicks install, thanx Amy!!! :banana:
Got it installed on 3.5.0

I have changed it to right_column. But at the left_column it is a "blank" column. How do I delete it?

Thanks amy. Great work.

One question. I have everything working fine.. I know how to add content to the left column, but.... how do I have it showing the same menus I have for my index page.. I would like my forum pages to have the same left coloum/menus. What changes do I make in the leftcolumn template page... This does not work "$home[leftblocks]" <-- got that from the "adv_portal" template.

There is one thing that I found and it took me awhile to figure it out.

If a variable is given a value say in a plugin at global start and then you reference that variable inside the new left column template it will not function. It took me awhile, but what I did was is put that variable = value; line in the global start left column plug in - ABOVE the code that calls the left column template.

I guess you just cant choose the order the plugins run, maybe its in the order of installation.

I would look your code over again. I am running 3.5 gold and my left column displays perfectly regardless as to what page I am on.

this sounds good

mmm

Ive installed it, thanks for the nice hack my friend :)

I have used the right colums and started it under the nav breadcrumb but I was wondering if there was some way to end the column at the last forum and before the users online, birthdays block ?
