ok i just added this, few qiestions though#

http://www.computertektalk.com/

why is there a random "<"??

how can i make the column only apear on the forum index, and how can i make it wider without having it touch te actual forum area??

thanks

Check the code because there is an extra < in there somewhere thats causing it to appear in your forum.



Just installed this and checked the code and there is an extra > in there at:

<!-- Left Column Code -->
<<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>

See the beginning of the code, it says: <<table border="0" blah, blah. Remove one of the < and all is 100%.

Laters

Yes I found that extra < also :)

funny that as i want mine like yours

how do i change how wide the box is?

I followed the instructions and mine went to the top. Now I have just edited the Forum Home template and placed the code after the header to almost get what I want. There Is just a 1/4 inch space with my main and left column that I want flush. Reason I edited Forum Home was because I did not want the left column on every page. Here is my code in my Forum Home:

><!-- Left Column Code -->
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr><td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->
<!-- main -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]"

How can I make it flush with my Main?

Another problem I encountered was when I added another gif picture, it placed it to the right side of the previous one. This pushed my forum way to the right. How can I line up small gifs that are linked on top of eachother. Here is one gif link

<!-- Begin custom code -->
<a href="http://www.fifa.com/en/news/feature/0,1451,109644,00.html" target="'_self'"><img src="http://www.socalsoccer.com/bu17.gif"alt="" border="0"></a><!-- End custom code -->

Thanks

This sites column with multiple JPG's is what I would like to replicate. But how do I stack the gifs like this without pushing the forum over everytime I add a gif?

http://www.refrigeration-engineer.co...ead.php?t=2674

I almost got it :) I just need to get rid of that white line below my gif. Does anyone know what that line may be caused by? After that I need a way to stack a bunch of Gif/links , does anyone know the code? If I add another , it will align to the right of the next gif, therby pushing my forum farther to the right.

Thanks www.socalsoccer.com

I can get everything to work except my Googleads ..... for some reason they don't show up at all, anybody have any suggestions?

Can I show something in the column depending on what skin you are using?

For example: If you're using skin 1 you'll see a red google ad in the column. And if you're using skin 2 you'll see a white google ad.

Is there any way to do this? Thanks

Could somebody possibly throw me a bone on this? I have always used 160x160 skyscraper google ads but when I paste them in the left column template they do ont show up, I have other ads just simple images with a link that show up fine but I can't get the google ads to show up and I am losing mucho cash.

Thanks

Untested, but you could try:

Thank you, Sir.. I'll try that! :squareeyed:

Hi there

Thank you

How can I add a log in box? I also have a random '<' on the top of my forum.

Do you guys think it's safe to install this vB 3.5.0 RC2 hack on vB 3.5.0 Gold? Thx!

from what I have read it shouldn't effect the hack at all. The whole development of 3.5 is a new system which doesn't need you to redo your hacks etc ..

Read the thread where it mentions Template changes to check whether it effects this particular hack.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=972124

I have found that installing this hack on Vb3.5.0 Gold results in your sidebar collumn (left or right) showing fine on forumhome and showthread but NOT for any other page, like search for example. The table cell shows up where your content should be but nothing shows up. I have looked at this for hours...

Anyone else see this happening? Can aomeone step up and support this hack?

how do i add some of the VBA boxes to this. I want the poll and recent threads to show up.
is it hard or is it easy to do.

You should take a look at the vBa's User Manual at the site; explains how to make the forum included as a vBa page.

Hey Amy.. leftcolumn.txt has a naughty little extra < that has sneaked in before the beginning <table tag.

:)

is there any way i could get...

Registered Members Online,

and the top5 latest threads

into your sidebar?

Clicks install, thanx Amy!!! :banana:
Got it installed on 3.5.0

I have changed it to right_column. But at the left_column it is a "blank" column. How do I delete it?

Thanks amy. Great work.

One question. I have everything working fine.. I know how to add content to the left column, but.... how do I have it showing the same menus I have for my index page.. I would like my forum pages to have the same left coloum/menus. What changes do I make in the leftcolumn template page... This does not work "$home[leftblocks]" <-- got that from the "adv_portal" template.

There is one thing that I found and it took me awhile to figure it out.

If a variable is given a value say in a plugin at global start and then you reference that variable inside the new left column template it will not function. It took me awhile, but what I did was is put that variable = value; line in the global start left column plug in - ABOVE the code that calls the left column template.

I guess you just cant choose the order the plugins run, maybe its in the order of installation.

I would look your code over again. I am running 3.5 gold and my left column displays perfectly regardless as to what page I am on.

this sounds good

mmm

Ive installed it, thanks for the nice hack my friend :)

I have used the right colums and started it under the nav breadcrumb but I was wondering if there was some way to end the column at the last forum and before the users online, birthdays block ?

Thanks ;)


edit: i'm problem, look the scren please

nobody ?

how about making it outside of forum. everything gets pushed to the right.

maybe widen the settings of your style in all style options or fiddle with the other options on that page. regarding form widths etc

this is a lazy question really how cAn i apply vbs table expland / collaps to the side table ?

cheers

Edit: Nevermind. I see the instructions are in the text file :)

*installs*

very nice hack! perfect place for sky scraper ads n such.
