- - Put a Column on the Left Side of Every Forum Page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91888)

Did you try to change the width of the side colume?

"<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>"

Change the 160 and see if it makes a difference.

tried that changed it to 130 same width as my table i'm inserting it didnt work any idea's?

Sorry I cant think of anything at this moment. I ended up putting the code in my forumhome template as we only wanted it to show on the main forum page and no where else.

ok i want to get this but are these boxes possible to get something to add that tells the top posters like there name and the amount of posts and stats and stuff like that in them? or is that a whole other thing?

When theres an error, like when you press "new posts" and there aren't any, it comes up without a side colum (well it's indented, just nothing in the space)

I noticed when I tried to fill the background of the left column that it's floating on the left, and not truly a whole left column. You can see on this page that that the left column stops about 3/4 of the way down the site... any ideas on how to make the height truly 100%?

In IE tables slow loading a lot (Not a FF issues but most users are on IE). Is there a hack for tableless left OR right column using CSS?

I was curious if it would be tough to modify this code slightly?

I'm looking for it to exclude certain forums, instead of include them. In other words, I want the left column to show up everywhere, except the forumid's that I list in this conditional.. Can anyone please help with this?

Thanks!

I put this column under my navbar, which looks verry well :)

I also added a few conditionals to have it only show on some forums...

But..
In the leftcolumn template, I removed all code, and added a $variable from a plugin I made.
But it won't show :confused:
the plugin includes a php-page which has for example: $var = "test";
the leftcolumn template has: $var

It did show when I used peterska2's show left column on front page hack.
But I deinstaleld that one, and trying to use this one ;)

Why doesn't it show a plugin variable ?

edit, even without the forum-conditionals it doesn't show anywhere, not even on the main page :(

btw, if someone also wants forum-conditionals, use this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(2,3,4,5))">
  add ur html here
</if>

Where 2, 3, 4, etc are forum-id's
:)

I run version 1.0.2 of this mod on one of my forums and run call template names just fine on the side bar. However this new version 1.1 I can not. I'm trying to call a template name for a plugin I created to display banner ads and randomize them the template name is $randads but it will not display the banners on this new version 1.1 sidebar.

I know it works because I can add $randads to say the ForumHome template and it works fine. Any ideas how to fix this new 1.1 sidebar to allow templates to be loaded as you used to be able to in 1.0.2?

-WoodiE

How do I add stuff to the sidebar once it is installed?
