Hello,
I've tried searching and troubleshooting for a few hours now, and I haven't been able to fix my problem.

I just did a fresh install of 2.2, and for some reason, the left column won't show up at all, and the right column shows up at the very bottom of the screen. Aside from the general setup configurations, does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: I actually resolved the problem right after I posted. It turns out the tweak that I used to attempt to use to make it work didn't get submitted... so now it's all working! Thanks Kerry-Anne for this FANTASTIC module.

Best,
JR

Sorry Kerry-Anne, but I can't see anything there which relates to template editing type unless you mean the radio button at bottom - there I've selected "below navbar and below notices".

I've provided a screenshot (link below) which shows all my USC options.

Also, should I still leave the "orphan" column on my main VBA page for your reference or do you have what you need, until this is fixed I'd like to disable USC there since it looks a little weird.

Thanks again,
Mike :)

What is the exact code you are using?

I can get to the edit area, but it still doesn't make them show up when I change the options. Also which option do I use to post an adsense html code in?

You don't install and upgrade, you just install the latest version (2.2). As is said in the install instructions and numerous times in this thread You need to set the usergroup permissions before the columns will be displayed. To put code into your columns, you edit one of the usc_block templates.

It's possible that your style does not have the required code for the auto edit in this location. Use the manual template edit setting and edit the templates to add the start and end code. The instructions are in the downloaded files.

>> upload the USC files to your forum directory then immediately delete usc_upgrade.php from the AdminCP directory

Then why upload it at all? For 2.2 fresh install should it not say "Do not upload usc_upgrade.php " ??

Hi Kerry-Anne - I removed the auto edit option then added the code you provided in your readme to the end of the navbar and the top of the footer and all's well.

Thanks!

Mike :)

Hey I have another question. I only have my left hand column enabled right now and that is all I want for now. I am putting google adsense in the side column. However I my page will only display a max of 2 ads in the column. How do I change this?

Also, is it possible to make it so there is a bit more space between the ads rather than them being right on top of each other?

Also, the only thing that appears even when i click the boxes such as search or user cp to display, all i get is the column Header? I have set the permissions for everyone to see the columns.

Thanks, Andrew

Keep this in mind. You probably have another google ad somewhere in the page right? maybe a banner at the top?

Google AdSense only allows 3 TOTAL ads in one webpage. so if you have a banner on top, the columns can only display two more ads

andrewc_11890 06-11-2008 05:43 AM

ya you are right i have a banner. however i also have a google referral ad at the bottom too. do those ones not count. is it only 3 ads for content allowed per page. so i could put up yahoo ads then if i wanted to put up a few more and get a wider variety of advertisers right?

Viruseater 06-11-2008 12:35 PM

They're different. you can have 3 google for content ads on one page, a google search, and a google referral. That's ok.

You might want to check the terms of service but I don't believe google allows you to run Yahoo ads on the same pages it's ads are on.
