Installed v2 on our vB4.2.0 site all goodness.
We've added the SB to a custom page - excellent hack!

your efforts and work BirdOPrey5 is much appreciated ..
I have not tested the new release yet but I am sure it will come in handy

Thank you Hippy. It is appreciated. ;)

I have an "Articles" page which is content.php. The sidebar does not show up on that page. Otherwise the Sidebar Anywhere works as expected. Also, I noticed the page has it's own settings for the sidebar width which is locked in the grid manager to a max of 300 pix. My Sidebar is 400 pix in the Forum Sidebar Width. Any ideas how to get the sidebar to show up on this page?

I didn't include CMS pages in this because CMS pages are made to use widgets.

The sidebar width is using the forum_sidebar_width stylevar which should work on all pages the sidebar shows on. What page has its own setting?

Excellent. I've been looking for something to this effect for a while. The similar hack didn't do it for me, I can't recall why but it was problematic. This does the job nicely!

Thanks.

One minor issue. When using a unique skin, it appears to not grab all images.

However, once you click the non-showing image to collapse the side-bar, it then shows up. Clicking again to show the side-bar allows the image to show this time around.

Bizarre.

Hmmm... I will need to look into that- it's looking for the image in a hard coded location, I guess it needs to be a stylevar.

I'll add it to the next update- thanks for the feedback.

Temp fix is to right click on the broken image, get the URL, and copy the image to that location for now.

That doesn't appear to be the resolve...

I copied the location and pasted it directly to the address bar so I could physically see where it was looking and noted it has doubled the format extension.

For some reason, png comes up twice. I don't know if I'm the only one encountering this, so it may be an issue my side.

Also, if I collapse the side bar - the screen expands correctly.. I move onto my next thread/different subforum/etc. and instead of the side bar is a blank column where the side-bar would be if it were visible... so my viewers aren't gaining anything if they collapse the bar as the space remains (as white space) on a page change.

Is this mod XHTML valid? Also, is there a setting to always show the sidebar. I don't want anyone to be able to collapse it. There is a css trick to remove the collapse button if not.

Thanks.
