GREAT MOD!!

I have a style problem:
In Internet Explorer the "Collapse button" remains on one line not at the left side...

Anyone having the same problem?
How can I fix this?

See attached image.

I've just upgraded and the side columns are showing where I have set them in the admin, however I have several pages which do not show side columns because they are not included in the list.

These are mostly pages which have been created by other mods, but version 2.0 worked on all pages. How do I get this feature back?!

Agreed. It obviously does not work for everyone here. Nothing shows up in the usergroup manager whatsoever.

Does anyone know what the problem may be?

You haven't uploaded the files in the upload folder. Upload the files in the upload folder then reimport the product.

The files need to be uploaded before the product is imported.

Either use the manual edits setting or delete the old manual edits from your header and footer templates.

You need to enable them, set the permissions for who can view them, and set the pages that they are displayed on. You also need to add some contents. When you have done this you will see your columns.

UPLOAD THE FILES IN THE UPLOAD FOLDER BEFORE IMPORTING THE PRODUCT

This is clearly stated in the upgrade instructions, in the first post of this thread, in the post that was added when the update was released, and was stated in the notification of an update that was sent out to people that have marked this as installed. It is very important to read instructions and follow them exactly.

What condition are you trying to use and what is happening?

This could be something specific to IE. I'll look into it for possible fixing in 2.2

It's making a comeback in 2.2 - I sorta forgot about it in 2.1 :(

Either use the manual edit option in the settings, or use the automatic option and remove the old code added to the templates.

Thats a problem with your firewall. Disable it then download the file again.

I've done the following
- uploaded files
- imported xml (overwrite)
- enabled forum home right column / edit templates manual in vbulletin options
- manually edited forumhome template accordingly

Now, Out of the 20+ templates USC creates, I'm baffled which one to edit.

The manual edit shows "usc_right", yet not one of the USC templates shows this. I see usc_sidecolumn_right which already has pre-filled content.

You edit the templates called block_ as per the instructions.

right then, I know this should be clear by now, but it appears that there is a lot of problems following instructions.

USC 2.1 has additional files. You need to upload the files first BEFORE importing the product

2.2 did have more features. Going off the number of people having problems following the instructions to upgrade to 2.1 this is now being scrapped. 2.2 is now going to be a bug fix release only.

The new features are going on indefinite hold and earmarked for 3.0 which will be created when I have time and released when instructions can be followed as it will be complex for the initial setup. As I have previously mentioned, USC has a life of its own and is evolving rapidly. The more it evolves the more complex it will become. If a relatively simple version is causing so much difficulty then version 3.0 is going to have to be rethought. This will not happen quickly as a lot of though needs to be put in to the plans for the future of it.

Thanks Kerry. Finally got this working. However, one slight problem.

I cannot figure out where the line break is coming from. The column should be even with the rest of the forum, left side.

I added the below in the block 11 template, nothing else.

I did the manual edits as well in forumhome. Could you explain where the extra break is coming from?

bad html mate.

Your missing a </tr> after

IE does funny things with bad html

True, but that did not fix the extra line break at the start of the right side column (top) as shown in the picture.

Also, not sure why you assume I use IE. I'm using Firefox, occasionally Opera.

I used to use your old right side column only hack for 3.6 which never caused that extra break on top.

edit: $vbgallery code (from Photoposts's Vbgallery) no longer works on forumhome either after using USC

I fixed the extra line break

Code:

<td valign="top">

<br />

<if condition="$vboptions[usc_collapse_right]">

Removed the <br /> from that code in the usc_sidecolumn_right template.

Just need to get the photo gallery code working.

Excellent work, thank you very much!

Hi,

Someone here can explain me why in Ultimate Side Columns Options, the Display pages for right and left columns options show "An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:" ??? :(

For some reason I probably don't know how to make it work but would like the custom another catagory on the side column. I have tried a few times and nothing is showing up as in the screen shots up there for the custom template. Is there a code that I need to use for this to show up?

Love this though I have been wanting a two column forums! :) thanks for all your work!

www.soberodaat.com/forums

Chadi thanks for putting that code up there I copied and paste and it show me how to make the categories now :) I do like your bible verse things also :) just don't know how to do that java thinngggieee I am a newbie as ya can see if I can't even figure out how to code columns. LOL

[QUOTE=Kerry-Anne;1518091]It's making a comeback in 2.2 - I sorta forgot about it in 2.1 :(

AWESOME! Thanks for the heads up! I can't wait!

I'm trying to pull some of the info from the What's Going On forumhome area to one of the blocks in the right side column (also on the forumhome strictly). The problem is that it is not giving the output at all for a simple request:

$activeusers

Is there something else that must be done in the backend to allow this to output correctly?

Just copy/paste the <script>...</script> codes as you wish. They're free from heartlights.org

Further clarification, not even this hack is able to pull the poll info in the USC block

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=155170&page=2

So basically so far I've noticed USC does not pull info for:
- the poll hack above
- latest gallery posts (vbgallery)
- forum stats

They used to work fine in the 3.6 version of your right-side forumhome only hack. The reason I switched
is because that older hack had endless W3C errors.

Hi,
pretty good an helpful Add-on.
Here are some custom changes that I made to collapse the sidebar total (At least with Firefox an IE not working with Safari). At my Site this only available for Users but it belong to you where you like to put in the Code.

My usc_sidecolumn_left:

Code:

<td valign="top">

<if condition="$vboptions[usc_collapse_left]">

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="padding-right: 20px">

<tbody id="collapseobj_usc_left" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_usc_left]">

<tr>

<td>

</if>

<table border="0" width="200" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder">

<if condition="$vboptions[usc_left_title]">

<tr>

<td class="thead">$vboptions[usc_left_title]</td>

</tr>

</if>

$block1

$block2

$block3

$block4

$block5

$block6

$block7

$block8

$block9

$block10

<if condition="$vboptions[usc_collapse_left]">

</table>



<br>

$tag_cloud



</tr>

</td>

</tbody>

</if>

</table>

<br>



<td width="0" valign="top"><img src="clear.gif" border="0" width="0" />

</td>

In my navbar I put in (Use some extra Graphics)

Code:

<a  href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('usc_left')"><img class="inlineimg" id="collapseimg_usc_left" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_sidebar$vbcollapse[collapseimg_usc_left].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

<br />

How can i add picture in the column ??

http://www.peterska2.co.uk/profile.p...ditattachments Can you see if you get an error on your page? Because I get the following error on my site when going to the similiar link:

Code:

Fatal error:  Cannot use assign-op operators with overloaded objects nor string offsets in /homepages/22/d198817824/htdocs/profile.php(3669) : eval()'d code on line 30

If I disable this, I can access that page fine, but if it is enabled, I get the above error.

Hi,
For put in pictures use Standard HTML in the ?usc_block_X? Templates.

For what you see in the screenshot above your Post (Icon with Link)

Code:

<div class="smallfont">

<img  class="inlineimg" border="1" alt="" src="/designs/gl/statusicon/geld.gif"/>

<a href=/brasilien/wechselkurs/>Wechselkurs</a></div>

Greetings

Hi,
I can´t remember exactly but I had something similar after the update to 3.7. The reason was vBCredits. If you have this Mod running you need to update.

You need to make sure that you have uploaded the files BEFORE importing the product. I'm not sure how much clearer this needs to be.

I have recreated this on localhost. Looking into it now.

[edit] I've found the problem. It is something to do with the auto edits. I'm still looking into it but a fix is that if the autoedits are disabled and the manual edits used that it will resolve the problem.

[edit 2] I've put a fix in which disables the display of the columns in all profile.php pages. I haven't found the reason for this yet or why it only affects that one particular page.

Well now that would be a little more difficult as the ZIP file I downloaded didn't include any other files that needed to get moved over. I'll download it again and see what I come up with.

Well I see the problem, the Zip file seems to keep generating little error messages about missing files. When I auto extracted the zip file it just pulled out what it could and in this case missed the entire uploads folder. Was this zip compiled on a Mac by any chance?

Yes, it was :)

I'm going to be bringing out 2.2 very soon. I just need to finalize the changes and
remove the additional code I've been working on for 3.0 before packaging it up.

I'm pleased to announce that USC 2.2 has been released

USC 2.2 Change Log:
Fixed bug with profile.php?do=editattachments
Added All Pages options

Upgrade instructions are available in the zip file.

I didn't say these would be in 2.2!

These are things that are on my 3.0 wish list. 3.0 is not yet in active development.

Please remember that the modification you were using was a simple template edit. USC is not a template edit. USC is a complex modification that is getting more complex with every major release. It is not however a portal system nor is it intended to be. I still do and always will recommend simple template modifications over complex modifications where the modification is only required on one page and is required to be able to access existing page specific and non-global functions.

I dont see where you add the html to the blocks, no blocks for me to add the html in. This is my screenshot.

edit the templates called block_*

Its in the instructions and readme file :)

V2.2 working fine, thank you very much Kerry-Anne...:)

PHP Code:


		
			
<tr>

<td class="alt1"><a href="http://www.superstreetbike.com/index.html"><img src="http://www.gixxerplanet.com/images/banners/ssbbanner.jpg">

</td>

</tr>

Thats the html I put in but nothing still does not show up. Maybe its my skin. I think I might have to start over

thanks for this product, however a little suggestion:

I know there is already extensive support for what pages the sidebar should appear on. But can't you add 2 text fields in the options page for default pages to include/exclude.

most pages have an identifier, in example 'payments.php' has:
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'payments');

So maybe a text field:
include sidebar on pages (and then the this_script identifiers seperated with commas), like:
payments, usercp, ...

same thing for exclude.

This could be useful for modifications where you want to disable/enable the navbar...

for example, I want to see the sidebar on all pages, except on a page of a mod that hase already a 3 column layout, so the sidebar would be to much.
Then this option would be very useful...

If it is a popular modification that you are referring to then let me know which one and I'll add it into the options. I'm always a bit wary of adding too many options, especially ones where there is free input allowed as it is more likely to be a failure point for people who misunderstand the setting or set it incorrectly. If I was able to provide more support time for this then it wouldn't be too much of an issue, but at the moment it is not going to be practical because it has a high likelihood of causing issues for the average user. Adding additional exceptions via the plugins is possible for people who have a moderate understanding of PHP and will be easier when more comments are added to the code in the plugins (they pretty much just contain the code with little to no comments at the moment).
