- - Forum Home Enhancements - Right side column on forum home and forum display (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229496)

Is there a way to make the column on the right side instead/ as well ?

How can I align the footer to the side? Please see attached image..

That will be done in stylevars "Document Margin" ... change the margins to 0 ...but that will also resize the header.

If I get time I will edit it.

Please, can you do a left version of the plugin?

Yes they have ... this means this hack is dead ... lol

I saw that last night at vb.com after I finished making left side column :(

.

Post it up anyway I will use it till they release :)

Keep this alive...more options the better.

Depending on the options available on vBs side column, people might still want to use a side column mod. At first glance, vBs side column may be a little to wide for my liking.

No problem seven
You can improve vb.com sidebar and adding another options to it like Member's Avatar

Also, by pulling in CMS widgets and making it appear on forum display and thread display pages as well

This is my code!.

The navbar is a different template from the three you posted. You need to select "Edit Templates" instead of "Common Templates" in the Style Manager and then find the navbar template. And as it says in the instructions above add the line at the end of that template.

Add this after the last line of your NAVBAR template. So this will be the last line in navbar template.

HTML Code:

{vb:raw sc_start}

Add this before the first line of your footer template. So this will be the first line in the footer template.

HTML Code:

{vb:raw sc_end}

so on the 1st lot of text you posted add

{vb:raw sc_start}

right at the very bottom

------------------------
here is the navbar location

Steps as Pic
1 + 2. go edit templates
3. then Navigation / breadcrumbs template
4.navbar
then at the very bottom of the text type
{vb:raw sc_start}

I am very happy for yours replys.
Thank you :-)

Hi thanks for the help and especially to those who have tried to help me.
Thank you very much.
The problem is that not everyone knows well how to put this code and many of us when we hacks have to do these things put them for not knowing.
I the end I had to clear it does not, just move the forum and leave the hole but I see where you can change or add options or something on the menu.

I missed the code ((vb: raw ad_location.ad_footer_start))
Anyway thank you very much at all and very kind.

How to show Side Column in Showthread ?

^
Edit ss_rightcolumn_end and ss_rightcolumn_start templates.

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">

Great job. I dont think vbb has side bar on every forum page like this mod. Thank you very much.

What mod does vbb.com use right side bar that can hide and show it?
Thanks

That is bulit in to vb .. but only for forumhome.
This mod can be used almost everywhere in the forum.

I like this mod.

However I question how this is different from the build in VB sidebar/block feature that comes with VB4. On my VB4 test installation I started using the VB version and successfully inserted various adsense banners, iframes calling php's and html from other areas of my side plus of course the supplied widgets. As was able to adjust the width very easily.

The one advantage I see with this mod is that it runs past the forum home view into the forum level and maybe even the post level. I am sure the Vbulletin sidebar can do that with one or two lines of code modifications(?).

So the big questions:
1. What is the advantage over the Vbulletin version?
2. How is the performance in comparison?

Like I said I like this mod and consider it, just question the need for it.

So the big questions:
Q. What is the advantage over the Vbulletin version?
A. Can be used on almost every page of the forum.
A. If you using adverts you want your user to see the ads, not hide them like you can with vbulletin sidebar.

Q. How is the performance in comparison?
A. This is faster then vbulletin but only disadvantage is you cannot add widgets etc this mod.

You can use vbulletin sidebar on home page and this on other pages.

.

I will measure the performance and compare it myself. as for Widget I don't see any use for any of the Vbulletin widgets available today and know that if there is a high need for one I can within minutes switch between this mod and the vbulletin sidebar.

Thanks for the quick response and for making this mod available free of charge to anyone.

I don't understand this part:

"Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_rightcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column."

Where do I edit the contents? Under vbulletin options? In the template editor?

Yes in the template editor.
There will be new template group "Seven Skins" you will find the template in there.

.

Installed! Works great on Gold 4.0 PL1 Thanks!

Is there an "or" thing I can add to make it show up on the content management system page?

You can edit ss_rightcolumn_end and ss_rightcolumn_start templates and add in the 2nd line .

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbcms'">

How do I update it???

Save the contents of your columns in the text pad or something (So you dont lose your code).
Then overwrite the product .... and if necessary do template edits.

can you add in random ad code?

I want to be able to place about 10 different ads in the block, in random order...

Good work thanks...:up:

Thanks for the awesome mod :-)
This is much better than the default one that comes with vb.

I have a question though...
I'm trying to display forum information in the side column
e.g. forumid, title. etc.

but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is the different code I tried using:

PHP Code:


		
			
forum{vb:raw forum.forumid}

or

$foruminfo['forumid']

or

{vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}

^
all not working

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
How can I display database fields in your mod right columns?
