this is not working for me. i already added it to html.php as well as in my onlineuser forum block, but still the same.

upgraded and it didnt work like it had. Reverted to 1.1.4 and it is working like a champ. I'll try the upgrade again later.....

Sorry this not related to this mod ask in Lynne mod.

Guys "not working" phrase means alot of things pls be more clear about the problem.

What is your vb version?

okay, lets say the online user block is a problem of the online user mod.

i have another problem (anyway).

I modified the new post block a bit, just html stuff (if you want, i can make screenshots).

When i open another page than forumhome (any other page where the sidebar is shown), the layout of the new post block is the original one, not the one i modified.

how can i change that?

greetings and thanks for your help so far!

To change what????

pls send a screenshoot and your forum url

Thanks for updating this!
I have Forum Threads turned off, yet they display.
Any thoughts?

from mod options look for "Show when forum closed?" set it to No.

I tried this, but it still displays: http://www.pathlabtalk.com/forum/forum.php

Sorry I thought you said forum closed.

But what do you mean by forum threads turned off?

i attached two screenshots to make it more clearly.
these two screenshots SHOULD be actually 100% equal each other, but as you see, the forumhome is different from the forumdisplay (and all others where the sidebar is shown due to this modification).


Okay, the onlie user block is missing (first block in the picture), we talked about this, probably not the business of this modification.

But when you take a look at the "new post" block (Neue Beitr?ge) you can see that it looks totally different. I want it to look on all pages as it looks on the forumhome.



I hope you can understand me now better.

Regards




ps: maybe it is also of interest to show the html code of my block_threads template:

Any tips for getting this to work on the cms page? I know how to add the sidebar to a custom page but I am a bit concerned with the cms page.

I believe I am having issues because of the layout but I am not sure... Has anyone added the sidebar to the cms? If so any tips would be a big help to me..

Thanks

Again this is due a missing file that is included in forumhome and not available in other pages, maybe it is css file that need to be added in the code.

Check with guy how you take the code from.

I didn't check it out yet. But am avoiding any page that already using a sidebar in it because of the conflict issue.

Sorry about not being clear... Everything was working like it should before the upgrade(ver 1.3.4), but after I upgraded it(1.4.1), I could not get it to show up on forum home. What it DID do on the forumhome page was put all of the copyright notice info (powered by VB etc...) on the right hand column where the sidebar should be. I am running VB 4.1.0 pl2.

Very hard to tell how solve this since you changed the forumhome page

But why you want to move copyright to the right? Is it that much worth it?

I went to Forum Blocks Manager and edited Forum Threads to Active = No, yet it still shows on all pages.
How do I turn this off?
If you view any page on my site you'll it still displays.
http://www.pathlabtalk.com/forum/forum.php

Thanks, this is a great mod to have.

<edit>
I kind of solved it. I set Maximum Threads to 0.
</edit>

Tried installing this but get error message-
XML Error: Mismatched tag at Line 53

Using vB 4.1.0 PL2, sidebar 1.4.1

Thanks

Ok I see why this would happen

I would suggest that you get the block id then put blockid followed by colon like this
in block page filter and forum filter of the mod options


did you edited the xml file manually?

if not try to un-install it then install it again

For your information the Block "Users Online" is ONLY available on FORUMHOME.
So don't search the error here.

nice work.

Latest version does not work on vb 4.1. I had earlier versions working on 4.0.x fine, but not the latest. I get a sidebar area but blank, and only on forum home. Not even a blank area on other pages. Have had to remove this till it is fixed.

Oh - I did follow the instructions which said to remove the old version first.

u r welcome

Since old version is working for earlier vb you don't have to upgrade

'Im using vb 4.1.0

okay, thanks a lot!

Not working means a lot of things. What is the issue you are having?

No prob

When enabled, the sidebar area is blank on forum home, and there is no change on other pages. Templates are the default. See the attached image of forum home.

I did have an earlier version working on 4.0.x.

Thanks.

Can you check something

Do you have different type of blocks or one type?

Can you try different type of blocks and see what happens?

I am having an issue with the sidebar appearing at the bottom of the forums on forum home. Displays fine everywhere else. I saw the author's note about the following:

1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look.
2. You are using a nother mod that is changing the content of froumhome before this ESB.

And neither one apply to me. The forumhome template is the default template and I am not using another mod that would modify the forum home. It was working fine before I upgraded to this latest version of it. I am running vb 4.1.0 PL2

Quote:"I am not using another mod that would modify the forum home."

Are you sure about this? Have you temperorly disabled all other mods to check that?
Can you pls post your forum url?

Regards

I am positive. I disabled all other mods (other than the blog and CMS one of course) to see if there was a conflict. They are all re-enabled now since there was no reason to leave them disabled, but my forum is located at http://www.militarylifenetwork.com/portal

I don't see the vb default style in style options!
BW I will upload version 1.4.1 with pl1 right now try it and see if it fix this issue. If the problem pressist let me know and maybe in this case it would be better to disable sidebar for your forum forumhome page.

Also for everyone custom style can work with sidebar it is just the style have to take care of some factors. IT is always better to copy the default style then create the custom style from the copied style.

That is due to the fact that we do not allow users to select the default vb style. It does not work in the default style either as I have tested it. Again it was working fine on 4.0.8 PL2 before I updated the mod to the 1.4.1 version

Also my custom styles are just the same as default (as they were copied from that) I just changed the header template to include my navigation bars and I changed the colors under StyleVars

The version 1.4.1pl1 my skin for the first time all mixed up

VB 4.1.0pl2

The mod is searching for navbar and footer phrases to locate itself in the proper location please read this from mod thread


Most asked question:

Q:I've installed your sidebar mod and it works fine except on the forumhome! The sidebar is showing at the bottom of the page. Any idea how to fix it?

A:It is either due to one of these:
1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look.
2. You are using a nother mod that is changing the content of froumhome before this ESB.

ESB needs to see this in forumhome So to tix this problem you either need to make sure that exist in the correct location or change ESB forumhome plugin to search for a new phrase.

for the latest version 1.4.1+ it looks for
so if you are setting new style make sure not to remove or change location to get sidebar in the proper location.





Was it ok on 1.4.1?
Did you check on the default style?

Having slight issues with the positioning of the sidebar.

Works fine in all areas except top positioning. Tried the fix above (forumhome.css) but couldn't find #sidebar_container at all.

Currently have it positioning itself differently for forumhome, subforum and inside a thread as can be seen in images attached.

Help please?

Forum Home
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/38.jpg

Sub-forum
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/38.jpg

And thread look
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/38.jpg

That is because sidebar css has been moved from forumhome.css to sidebar.css. You will find #sidebar_container there.


Good luck

Hello almannai

1.4.1 is OK and works like all the other versions so far
With 1.4.1pl2 the Sidebar is displayed but the content is very narrow and long attracted
Thanks for your answer

Igel1

You mean 1.4.1pl1 and not 1.4.1pl2 :)

Can I see it in action?

For what its worth, I've been running 4.1PL2 from the beginning and not had any issues... http://pdaphonehome.com/forums . My templates have some minimal tweaks, but mostly standard.

What I just noticed yet, the bottom bar of vb (Contact, Admin, etc) is appended with 1.4.1pl1 at the end of the sidebar and squeezed.

Screen 1 with 1.4.1
Screen 2+3 with 1.4.1pl1
