Note: [S]It does not work in IE 7. I have to go though it again to see what I can do to work with 'Separate Categories Mod'.[/S] I have fixed what was wrong in IE7. This is going to work for only forum index and if you want it to line up on other pages, then please post a request and I will give more information in how to achieve this.

# find in template: footer
# add <td> {Table Data Cell} with padding
# adjust padding 15=top 0=right 0=bottom 0=left

Code:

$spacer_close

<!-- /content area table -->



<!-- leftside column -->

        </td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- / leftside column -->



<!-- rightside column -->

        </td>

        <td width="10px"></td>

        <td style="padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px" valign="top" width="175">

                <table class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="6" width="100%" align="center">

<!-- rightbar_1 -->

# find in template: footer
# replace variable '$stylevar[outertablewidth]' with numerical percent
Note: This will correct footer and display it as Forum lenght.

Code:

<!-- / rightside column -->



<form action="$vboptions[forumhome].php" method="get">

        

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

<tr>

# find in template: navbar
# adjust padding 15=top 10=right 0=bottom 0=left

Code:

<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->

</if>



<!-- leftside column -->

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

<tr>

        <td style="padding: 15px 10px 0px 0px" width="175" valign="top" class="page" style="0px;">

                <table class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="6" width="100%" align="center">

<!-- leftsidebar_1 -->

LEAD_WEIGHT , thank you very much for your help. All problem solve now :D

Great mod..

Can you please post a conditional based on usergroups??

For example, do not display for usergroup X (paid membership) or vice versa....

Would I just wrap your code in this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7)">

            

</if>

thanks for the nice mod!!

If you are using the other conditional in the instruction, you can combine like this. This will make it not show for these usergroup(s). You need ! to not display.

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('index','forumdisplay','showthread')) AND !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, array(5, 6, 7))">



</if>

ok im a pretty newbie at this and would like to know how the first image blindman put up was done - the codes for that and the settings, how would i set that up to be like that?

response is appreciated

ok i kinda got it but it seems to look really really bad when u view a thread with more than one page - here is an example

http://www.gamers-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1019

help is appreciated - thanks!

edit: it only seems to be like that in ie7 :( and in firefox the bar on top is longer than the post box

njoker555 you need to click 'installed' for any more help. ;)

# find template: spacer_open
# replace all contents with below

Code:

<!-- open content container -->

<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" align="center"><tr><td class="page" class="spacer-open">

<else />

<div align="center">

        <div class="page" style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]; text-align:$stylevar[left]">

                <div class="spacer-open">

</if>

# Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> All Styles Options -> Go -> Additional CSS Definitions
# enter below into second input box

Code:

.spacer-open { padding: 0 25px; }

.spacer-open .spacer-open { padding: 0; }

thanks a lot - marked as installed, thought i did it already but didnt :)

well anyway, your thing helped me fix it in FF but not in ie - in IE - check this following thread - the first page, the column is overlapping the text area and in the second page, it really really stretches

help appreciated once again, thanks!

njoker555 you must of miss the last part of the instruction on fisrt post.

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > StyleVars {Drop Down Menu} > Sizes and Dimensions

Message Area Width (pixels): [440px]
(This value allows you to specify the width in pixels of the text box used for all message posting in vBulletin)
Code Block Width (pixels): [440px]
(This value controls the width of [code], [php] and [html] bbcode blocks. You may set this value to 'auto', but if you do, Internet Explorer will stretch the width of the block rather than inserting a scrollbar.)

Maintenance > Update Counters > Rebuild Post Cache

You also need to use postbit instead of postbit_legacy to utilize the most of message space.
