- - Miscellaneous Hacks - Ultimate Side Columns 2.2 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=175181)

I have this installed and the results for me are shown in the image attached. Any idea as to where I should look to correct this?

I'm a neophyte at this, so really appreciate the help.

Different scripts/etc have different sizes. Is there a way to unify all teh sizes of the boxes regardless of the items inside?

Followed all the install instructions for USC 2.2 within VB 3.7.4, even with it all turned on I get one title block on the left side at the top which has a black gap that is too wide and one at the bottom on the left, not the top right where it should be. Also mucks up the size pushing the whole forum off one page view.

Any ideas how to get the block at the bottom over to the right where it should be and make the black gaps smaller? (sorry I'm not an expert so excuse the terms used) Thanks.

Hi. Great mod. I am having to add the code in myself or this mod will not work with my style I guess.. the code I'm using is

Code:

<!-- USC header edit start -->

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr>

$usc_left

<td valign="top">

<br>

<!-- USC header edit end -->

It works great looks great but when I click on new thread the column has a BIG gap on the right side between the column and forums. This is a left side column I am using. I have added that code to the bottom of the navbar..
Thanks for any help.

Please help with this. I need this fixed..

For some reason this screws up my Arcade area on the forum here:

http://forums.hastyhost.com/arcade.php?

Is there a way I can disable it from showing on this page? Or is three something I can edit in the template to stop it from doing that?

Thanks :)

Nevermind, found out it was another mod causing it :)

I've made big progress and now I'm down to the little niggly things.

The attached image shows my current issue. The two columns are extended above the main forum. I'd like to have them all be even. Any ideas?

Installed it but I can not see columns... I checked columns as enabled. How to display it?

I have a final question. I have my right column set up to be 160 pixels wide. Block 11 and 12 are fine but Block 13 keeps being about 1/4 inch wider. It seems to be due to the border. The border won't go away even if I use "0". In fact "1" doesn't make it any narrower, either. It screws up the symmetry.

Here is the code I am using for Block 13:

<tr>
<td>
<a href="http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/">
<img src="/images/noaabuoy.jpg" border="0" alt="NOAA Buoys" />
</a></td>
</tr>
</div>

The image is only 160 pixels wide. Using Height and Width doesn't help either.

Any ideas on what knocks it out of alignment? Here is a link if you want to see what I mean. It's the right column.

Thanks.

Make your column wider or your image smaller. There is a 4px each side padding so your image doesn't fit and stretches the box.

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start(); 
include('myfile.php'); 
$includedphp = ob_get_contents(); 
ob_end_clean();

Hook Location is global_start

However, if I add $includedphp to usc_block_11 for example, it doesn't show the contents of $includedphp.

I am aware that this is not an issue with this product. However, maybe someone is already loading dynamic content into a Column and can help out with this.

Great product!

Make sure it is in global_start hook location and keep changing the execution order until it works. I can't recall what it needs to be off the top of my head.
