Could somebody please post the default code for the 'usc_sidecolumn_left' template. I overwrote it by mistake!

Hi
I'm really a newbie in vbulletin but i need to install and work with USC 2.2.
Please it's there anybody with some patience to explain me step by step how can i install it?
I have a 3.7.0 vbulletin and i'm using small business yahoo as hosting.
I have filezilla to upload the files but i dont know where exactly upload the files!
Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks! I got it to work. How do i position the column? I would like it to be closer to the site, just outside the white field.

See picture again

You are using it in an unsupported way. You will need to figure this out for yourself. It is an unsupported modification and as such support is limited and can only be provided for default setups.

All the instructions are in the readme file and the first post of this thread.

Hi, for some reason the navbar is too close to my forum; how can I fix this?

I am getting that error in Display Pages For Left Column and Display Pages For Right Column and I do not know where to go to enter the content i want on my sidebars

Is it possible to have this product work independently in different forums. I.e. let's say you have Forum Section A, Forum Section B, and Forum Section C. The Side Column in A would list quick links to content in Section A. The Side Column in B would list quick links to content in Section B, and so on for C.

Is this possible with this product?

Thanks

Ok I got it working but now the big issue is this:
I'm not a coder and don't know jack about HTML. Does any one have modules they have created they would like to share?
Maybe start their own thread about that.

perfect,
thank you.

Hi Kerry-Anne,
Something to consider for the next release.

I am using vBadvanced Links Directory. It does not work correctly. The strange thing is that I use all of their products, and the Links directory is the only one with an issue.

Brian provided a solution.
Product: USC Alignment Fix

Add the items in red.

if (VBA_SCRIPT != 'links_directory')
{

$vbulletin->templatecache['header'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['header'] . '";$spacer_open="';
$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] . '";$spacer_close="';

}

Kerry-Anne, the custom links (content) delete option is not working. So after I added a new link, when I tried deleting it nothing happens.

Hi everybody,
I am using this mod and I have found that I have to make variables global when I want to use them in the left/right column. I tried to use plugin manager and I did short code there with global start - I am not pretty sure it is right way.

Therefore - please, is anyone able to show me how (for example) to make available information on total number of threads, last registered user and so on?

Thanks a lot!

sry but i dont quite understand how to seperate the blocks even after reading readme.. can anyone show me?

Hi im using this mod, it was all working ok on 3.7 ive just upgraded to 3.7.1 and now the coloum sits under the forum instead of the right hand side, its fine on all the other pages but the home page it just isnt working correctly please can some one help. Thanks

Thankyou. Now this has been reported along with a solution I will add this by default into the next release (2.3)

Make sure you have uploaded the files. When you have done so, reimport the product selecting Allow Overwrite - Yes

Yes, use template conditionals in your blocks to do this.


I know :) It's fixed on localhost in 2.3

This is a template issue, either with reverted templates and manual template edits, or with custom styles, or with the block contents. Check that all opening tags have closing tags.

Start a new table in the block, then end it at the end of the block and put a <br /> or two to add a gap.


Yes, adding code to global start is the correct way to make the code global. You should always use a new plugin for each code that you add then you can manage it easily.

Adding the stats that you are requesting is something that is already coded into 3.0 which is in development (albeit slow development because of other commitments)

Revert the template like you would with any other template. It will return it to the original state.


Add an extra <br /> or two to the end of your navbar template or use a different automatic template edit location.

Ok i think you are right, however what template would the issue be in ?

sry the problem is im noob enough not to know how to start a table..

i've tried <table> and </table> doesnt work

Kerry-Anne:
thanks for you reply. I am trying to make working at least one test variable in usc and I still cannot do that. It is pitty :(

I have created plugin with global start, where is (for example) this line:
$my_test = 1;

It had no effect if i had chosen vbulletin or usc product


When I try to use it in some usc_block then it does not work at all. Use it = just write $my_test in the template. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

Could you please give an example of the conditional?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am facing this really strange issue, I am not able to get the columns display despite of following the instructions.

I had version 1.0 installed earlier but I uninstalled it and installed the latest version from scratch. (i.e. didn't run the upgrade script)

I added the sample code in block1 but still the left column doesn't get displayed. (Yes, it's been enabled in vb options)

My forum URL is: http://forums.tybcom.com

Any kind of help is appreciated.

Regards,
Deep

Please, is anyone show me some simple tutorial how to use some plugins/variables in usc columns?

Thanks a lot!

oups ... I meant "is anyone able to show me....."

Thanks for the nice hack. I have a question though. How can you make the column floatable. What I mean is when a user will scroll down the page column will move with it.

Thanks

It won't do that, or at least not in version 2.x I haven't got this on my wish list for 3.0 either, and it is unlikely to be put on there as there are many completely different issues for this type that are specific to that. I did release one that did this a while back which can be found in my profile. As long as it is for 3.5 or 3.6 then it will work on 3.7 (I think it is probably 3.6, but it might be older than that - I know it is a good while ago).

Check that you have enabled the usergroup to be able to view the columns in the usergroup > edit usergroup page. By default it is disabled for all usergroups here.

I love how this mod says "Not Supported" although Kerry-Anne is one of the best developers and most supportive. Thank you Kerry-Anne :-)

Display Pages For Left Column
Using this setting you can determine the pages where the left column will be displayed.
An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:
Error:

Display Pages For Right Column
Using this setting you can determine the pages where the right column will be displayed.
An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

I have my page width set at 960 px, I don't know if that affects the install. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Aha, You rock :up:

It worked..

Thanks

This zip file is corrupted.

I tried to move the $spacer_open part to the navbar to get the wifth of the header for the navbar, but this little mod doesn't work with the USC 2.2 - I changed the parts in the xml wich says:
$vbulletin->templatecache['header'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['header'] . '";$spacer_open="';

to:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] . '";$spacer_open="';

and it seems to work.

I don't think, that you can change your mod to do this automagically, but I wanted to mention it, since it gave me a big headache. :eek:

How would I integrate this mod into the left column?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=174445

Can you take a look here...see how my left column is displaying. What am I doing wrong?

You have to start the block with:
<tr>
<td class="alt1"> (or some other type for the class ;) )

and to end with:
</td>
</tr>

I've installed this & it's working great, apart from one small problem. I have it set to display below header and above navbar. But the column is lower than it should be, see here.

Thanks :)

First I would try with the default style and if that doesn't work, I would turn off the plugins one by one.

Hi Kerry-Anne and other folks,

Would it be a simple process for you to add time or date or other options like the Notices function has? For me it would be great to have the ability of Notices included in this mod.

I don't know how server intensive this extra coding would be, or even if anyone else would like to have such options as well. I'm just throwing the idea out for comment.

i uploaded but its not showing up- any ideas?

is there something i have to do to enable it? i uploaded the files and imported the product. i set my options such that they should show up on every page. see www.tetongravity.com/forums.

how i can make the side banner more closer with the side forum.
