I did a funky workaround for 3.8.2 by turning off USC and then opening the bbcode link and copying the html and making a new page in vBa. I then modified the forumrules template to point to the newly created page. If anyone wants the html file and modified forumrules template, just let me know.

when setting permissions for group, getting the following database error:

any help?

Hi, I'm just starting my first vBulletin Forum and Iinstalled this great plugin!!!

Can anybody tell me how to insert other types of content in this sidebar?
I'm thinking of:

1 - The contents of an external RSS Feed
2 - A little php code for a banner rotator
3 - The latest Threads of a certain forum category
4 - Some board stats

Hi guys,

Just installed this on 3.8.2 as I wanted a column on the right.

The column is basically 2 skyscraper adsense codes and only one will show. The odd thing is it works fine if I put it on a left column?

Any advice would be great

EDIT:

It seems to not want to display both skyscrapers at the same time as each of the 2 skyscrapers work absolutely fine on the right column if the other is removed. But but both work absolutely fine together on the left column?

worked it out.. to many adsense in that location!

I'm using this USC for right column display only.... Everything fine, but if enable to show the right column will be displayed to "forumdisplay'. The side banner not shown at it location(right side) but appear at left footer :

Anyone can help solve this please?

I had something like that and I added <tr> <td> to the top of the appropriate USC Template and
closed it off with </tr> </td> at the very bottom.

ACP - Styles and Templates - Choose the style you want to work with - Ultimate Side Columns Templates - Place <tr> <td> at the very top and </tr> </td> at the bottom of the appropriate USC Block.

Hello Fungsten, thanks for the reply..

The command <tr><tr>xxxx</tr></td> already at it place...i'm using Column Start Point at "Below navbar and below notices", only display at forum display have problem, display at forumhome,showthread, etc..running well...

Don;t know what problem with that for forumdisplay.

Hello,

I have installed this mod on a test site and it works perfectly......

But when I install it on my "LIVE" board it has (2) bugs....

(1) the side bars never show up.

(2) All of my custom vbulletin pages that have "Custom" headers blow up like a balloon...

I have narrowed the "ballooning" issue to the fact that I am using a "custom" header and that in return...... If I place "$header" in the page my ballooning issue on my custom pages goes away... Due to the fact that it is now properly following $stylevar[outertablewidth]...

But if I do this... My custom header is replaced by the standard...

Also... the collums are "Invisible"

Any Ideas?

P.S. / F.Y.I.
I granted usergroup permissions to all usergroups and the side collumns are still "invisable"?

Also... on test board the ultimate side collums templates show up in their own folder......
When I install on live board the templates are not in their own folder?

:DOk.....

Since my last post I have gotten the Side collums to appear......

"""""FYI.... To those of you using Dreamweaver.... For some reason Dreamweaver was not uploading the .Data files...""""""

Anyway.....

Now the side collumns are appearing but not quite in the right place....

If I choose both collumns "left and right" the right appears properly but I have (2) left collums.

If I choose just the right collumn everything is ok except if I choose the setting to place the right side collumn below the navbar.

If I select this option the the right column ends up on the left bottom near the "Style Selection box".......

Any Ideas?

Also........

I am still having issue with my custom templates with custom headers "Ballooning" and not recognizing the $stylevar[outertablewidth] setting wich is at 63%.....

I have traced the fact that It is doing this due to the fact that this code is missing in the template "$header".....

Any Ideas on a fix?

3.8.2

Installed. :up:




P.S. one bugg left.

I have additional navbars on different pages.

It is not recognizing my custom navbars?

Any Ideas?

Interesting mod... could this be modified/updated with an option to only show the column (menu) in certain forums and add an option so it's contents (links) be editable in the admincp on it's edit forum page?

I'm trying to merge this old out-of-date html frame left menu http://www.lycansmovie.com/main-low.html into the forum so it will be quicker to access and update via the threads (instead of having to ftp the updates each time).

:confused:

*bump* same question ^^^^^

thank you

great hack but positioning is off again - hmmm whats the code to put this in a template myself?

This doesnt seem to be working well in vb 3.8.x, has side bar positioning errors

I'm running into the same problem. On the private message list page, the right side bar is shown at the bottom of the page on the left.

Anyone?

Excellent! Thanks

Just installed on latest vB, seems working fine, maybe a problem with your style?

Hi,

thanks for the nice Mod!

Is there a way to show the Control Panel Menue from the usercp.php in the left bar?

I copy the "usercp nav" from USERCP_SHELL, but it only shows some of the links from the menue.

Thanks

I get an error when clicking on this link. http://www.*********/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode. This is the error that I get. Any ideas what is causing this? I tried this, option,admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields to no avail. I am using vb 3.8.2

:)

At one time I had USC up and running just fine:). Then :eek:my forum got hacked :mad:and it was gone. Now I have the time to work on it. All the files seems to be in place but I have nothing showing. :confused:I did find this in Ultimate Side Columns Options

Display Pages For Left Column
Using this setting you can determine the pages where the left column will be displayed. An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

Display Pages For Right Column Using this setting you can determine the pages where the right column will be displayed. An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

Before I start messing around, what steps should I take to trouble shoot this.

The left column is not showing up on the forum home page, but it shows up on all the other pages that are configured to show it. Any idea why? I do have vBAdvanced installed, does that affect it?

any one know if this hack works with 3.8.3?

I am trying to get the twittercall hack ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=220798
) to run in a column, to no avail. Will USC allow to parse from separate plug ins variables?

Anyone have any luck with doing this? Any tips on making it work?

Yes it does.

I use vbseo style and have problems with alignment as I have a fixed with at 900px.

I am using this hack with great success. I would like to add more stuff to my side column if the current forum page is long enough to support the extra stuff (meaning it has content on the main part of the page long enough). Is there a way I can find out how long the content is on the fly and then conditionally add extra side blocks. Any ideas?

only my left side columns ever appear. I cant get the r/s to work

for some reason it doesnt work on my site!

and when i try to unistall i get a db error?

reverse everything you did when installing it.

you may need to drop the mysql table in the phpmyadmin on the server as well.

ive deleted the uploads and then gone to uninstall and still get it!

i dont understand this or how to do

MySQL Error : Unknown table 'usc_custom_block'
you may need to drop the mysql table in the phpmyadmin on the server as well.

?

Ok ive ran a search finding every phrase using usc_custom_block

and deleted both of them! but i still get the db error!

login to your server, if using cpanel, go to mysql databases. at the bottom of the page is a link called phpmyadmin. click it. next you will see your databases listed. open the database and look at the tables. find the table named usc_custom_block and click the drop button on that line. then close out of everything. the error should be gone.

I installed this on my vBulletin 3.8.4 and it does not automatically update the templates. I do not see any instructions on where to insert the template additions.

I even created a brand new unmodified style and still I see no template changes.

Ideas?

any ideas?

Is there any support for this mod at all?

An excellent mod! However, I am struggling to add a tag cloud into my sidebar, and without any luck so far. I installed this 'Global Tag Cloud in Side Bar or Anywhere' mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177429) but while the keyword ($vbcloud) allows for the tags to appear on any other template, I can't get it to render within the Ultimate templates. Any pointers appreciated.

UPDATE: Got it to work by using the "usc_sidecolumn_left" template -- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=46

works great with 3.8.3 but is i am having issues seperating the blocks.

can anyone help please?
