By doing the following :

Set Main Table Width to 100% in stylevars
Set Message Area Width to auto in stylevars

Comment out :

In spacer_open

And job should be a good un ;)

My message width says "540" Do I just type in "auto" ?

I forgot to add, the only real page that presents a problem is "forumhome".
Is this what your fix addresses?

Yup......

I had problems with thread display - this should sort out any problems tho......

Try it - you can always change it back ;)

Thanks, very useful addon. Will install.

I had this hack installed earlier but after upgrading to 3.03 it disappeared so I never messed with it.

Now I re-installed it and get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO MYSITENAMEsettinggroup (grouptitle, displayorder, volatile) VALUES ('adcolumn', '600', 1)

mysql error: Duplicate entry 'adcolumn' for key 1

Can you help me out please?

I went ahead and installed everything and i the Vbulletin Options, the option to turn the column ads on or off are missing

That's because your database already has that code inserted

Right but it apparently has made it so the install does not work.

Attached is an image. Notice I have no choices in the drop down menu.

Can anyone help me?

Same problem here that glenvw has. :(

Personally, I am NOT proficient.

I need someone to tell me how to uninstall this thing so I can try a re-install.

Somene please read the couple of previous posts and send HELP!

I would like to request a feature. Being able to specify ads and ad types on a per-forum basis.

Done all the below and it still throws my forums out. If I use auto in the stylevars it throws my reply box out as well.

There has to be a fix for this?

So if we are running a default theme that was just edited, we will have problems and have to make some changes?

How can i unistall this hack?
it works for me, but the menu is out of the main template table. (i'm not using the defaul template)

Anyone running 3.0.3 that has this working? Maybe this should be asked first, then you'll know if it is compatible.

I know they changed quite a bit in 3.0.3, so that may be the issue rather then the code. You will most likely have to re-enter the date into the files in question (your db and templates should be fine).

Works fine in 3.03

Just a tip:

To get the width right (same as other tables), you have to set cellspacing from 7 to "0" in the forumhome part. (2 times for each column)

And in forumhome template add this

after this

(2 times for each column)

It looks mutch better that way :)

I have Google yelling at my because their ads are being showing on the registration and login pages.

I don't want to get removed from google, any ideas?

Installed this just as described and I get no ad columns anywhere. Doesn't look like I did anything.

Add:

in both the header and footer code inserts. Add the </if> at the end of the inserts.

No more columns on those pages.

Have you uploaded your changed global.php?

If so, the other first place to check is your Default Template. That is where the templates get installed to.

If that one is not set to your parent-most style, the child styles won't get the templates.

question i have this installed also with vbadvanced is there any way to stop it from showing on the main page as well as the forums index??

hey does it works with vbulletin lastest version 3.0.3

Yes.

For some reason I'm getting blank columns with no headers at all when I install this. I know I followed the instructions correctly. The install thing never did create the adcolumn_left and adcolumn_right templates for me, so is it possible that it never ran the database queries either?

I had the same problem.

Within the global.php where you added the 2 lines. Re-type them.

Actually, I was stupid. I edited the global.php file just fine and just forgot to upload the modified file. It's fine now, but thanks.

Awesome Magnus !!! I am already your big fan ;)

Can you add more "boxes"

For example I want 3 of them on the left.

One for Sponsors, one for Google Ads, one for some random banners.

How would i go about addind 2 extra ones?

Exactly the same problem here. I'm using VB 3.0.3 & did make sure that the global.php that I uploaded is the correct one. The option appears in the vBulletin Options but nothing showed up. Any help? Thanks in advance

Do what I said above and it will work!

Hey guys, I installed this mod and everything was working great until I went to my threads... the content was all pushed out to the sides and i'm not sure how to fix it.

Can anyone help me out? :)

Thanks,

Justin

Thanks Super Ted. The columns do appear now. As for the templates, I found them in my other sytle. Appearently not all styles are updated.

I know it's only been a day, but I need help soon! :nervous:

Please reply back if you can help solve my problem.

Thanks

hey, i just installed this and it was easy and looked nice.
only thing is i have vbadvanced installed as well and i don't need 5 columns on my homepage.

how do i make it so it only affects my forum and not my homepage too?

HI EVRY BODY

I TRY BUT What's Going On? members AND guests IN THE LEFT colums
but notwork can any body help me thank you

sory i can write well english !
i am from chaina :nervous:

Sorry, but couldn't have it to work and had to uninstall it. :ermm:

I was having the same problem that Justin XBLN was.

I installed instead the Left Sidebar on all pages mod. Doesn't have a control window, but serves the same function and seems simpler to me.

Anyway, this one is a good one for those that were able to put it to work.

Thank you for sharing it. :up:

Hi,

I've an vBulletin 3.0.3 and a gallery (PhotoPost). In my Forum-Homepage "Ad Columns" works fine - but in the gallery is the table not in the right place.

I use in PhotoPost the same stylesheets and templates like in vBulletin.

To better understandig my problem I've 2 screenshots. On the first is my forum, on the second my gallery - and there is the problem.

Has anyone a idea?

Greetings

Claudia
