Are you taking about the content inside the boxes on you homepage? If so, try lowering the table padding. 10 is a bit much.

Code:

<table cellpadding=10 width=100%>

no talking about it totally ++++ing up, lol and going to the bottom, well looks like this hack uninstalled, rather use the template then the hack.

Those who say they have it working "Out of the box" amaze me. I did this on a brand new 3.5.3 board and it is far from working.

Looks like what I'm looking for, but how do i make it show depended on whish usergroup the given user comes from? f.ex. I don't won't to show the colomn for my paying sponsors, since the sidebar have to contain adbanners.

This most be something whit and if -> show else -> don't

Someone who can help me?

Search feature. Use it.

Put this before both sections of column coding

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 2">

and this after the column coding

</if>

This will not show the column for usergroup 2.

Jim

can anyone make a basic template with 2 or 3 options that we can play with?

Who-ever is having trouble with it should perhaps just use the on posted on vbulletin.com

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156775

can anyone share the recent topic hack thats scrolls and stops when you hover over it?

is there anything to resolve the indentation issue?

I also notice after thread 4 it shoots the column down to the bottom.

Any ideas on how to resolve these issues?

There is one too many brackets in your text file on the openning table tag.

PHP Code:

How do i get it to work on mine?

Just curious if anyone has figured out how to install this without messing up the widths.

I need some alignment help if anyone has a few minutes. Here is what mine looks like:
http://michiganspeed.com/djcobol/screen.gif
Any way of getting that to line up evenly?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function log_out()

{

        ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");

        ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";

        if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))

        {

                return true;

        }

        else

        {

                ht[0].style.filter = "";

                return false;

        }

}

I've tried removing every <br /> in my navbar template and it hasn't fixed it.

remove it from the right side bar top or adcolumn top, whichever youre using.

At first, I didn't like this right column because I tried to figure out how to get this column under the navbar, not very top next to the header. Finally I figured out, also I wanted to display the column on forum index only - not in every forum page. Now.. This is good column :) Thanks for it.

DJCobol:

From what TSR said. Check very top <br /> in product xml or right side bar codes you have.

I guess noone can help me?

hey amykhar thanks for the release,
I need to try this mod for one of my sites, will this create any problems with custom templates ?

I can't se it causing any problems SaN-DeeP but I suggest taking a backup of your style first, just in case.

Try using <br /> as many times in your columns.

Thanks for doing that but I didn't ask for how to put this hack on forum index only.

I am no longer using this hack because the column was not correct align, it kept over the fixed width or whatever. I've got mine worked.

Can you include php files in this column using the standard method recommend in the vB manual?

I've created a plugin to include a php file, and tested it on another test template, but when I put the variable in the right column template nothing happens.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,

Andrew

It's ok with the help of another code I found I've been able to do what I wanted.

worked nicely on my test run . dont have anmy problems yet but might return when the forum goes live :)

clicked install ;)

masterross: move the code from your header to the navbar, depending on how your style is setup, if you have forum description in the navbar, put the code right before that. Then it will be fixed.

This not fix the problem.
It just move column down.
the thread/posts are still shrinked
