ob_end_clean();

It just does not parse... its a fresh forum install with no other product installed but the USC.

Now, if you put the $rss variable in the usc_sidecolumn_right template like:
$rss
$block11
$block12
$block13
Then it works... but not when put in the block templates.

Some help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Anybody figure this out yet? :o

Thanks

How are you guys installing this? I Have DL it on 2 different computers and both have a corrupt zip file. The 'upload' subdirectory inside the zip arcive will not copy. On 2 totally different machines. :confused:

MrFlicks 06-03-2008 06:49 PM

Installed - marked as installed

With Thanks :)

Wired 06-04-2008 12:46 AM

I've been trying everything I can think of, most especially reading and rereading the instructions, to get an install. I develop software myself, so I hate to give in ask for advise, but I can't think of anything left to do.

I've uploaded the files, then went back to remove the usc_upgrade.php file.

I've imported the product-ka_ultimate_sidecolumns_2-0.xml

This part works fine. I get 2.0 installed.

Next, I go to import product-ka_ultimate_sidecolumns_2-1.xml

No luck. I made sure to check the "overwrite" box. I get a blank page when importing. No error, just a blank white page.

Same with product-ka_ultimate_sidecolumn_2-2.xml
Blank, white page.

I've uninstalled everything. Tried to import 2-2 first. No luck, blank white page. The only file I can import, is the 2-0 file.

If I go to userpermissions, I can see the user options at the very bottom. There is no text next to them, but looking at the code, I can make out these are the settings for usc.

If I set an option and save, I get a database error:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'uscpermissions' in 'field list'

Thinking that maybe I don't have permission to alter the tables, I do a search and find this page:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/archi.../t-111100.html

I add my user id. Try again. No luck.

I figure six hours is long enough, it's time to ask for some help!

Very basic VB installation. In fact, still using the default VB theme. Current version is 3.7.0.

Appreciate any advice. Just want to get it to the 2.2 version.

What exactly did you do?

tonyswifey 06-05-2008 01:25 PM

How do you add anything to the blocks? All it says on my forum is left forum sidebar and then right forum sidebar. This is different then the previous mod, I don't know how to add any advertisements or anything into the block because there isn't a place for it?

tonyswifey 06-05-2008 01:30 PM

Duh! Figured it out, lol. For those who do not know, it's in your template editor, just look for ultimate side columns, it's in the directions, I just overlooked it :o.

Very basic VB installation. In fact, still using the default VB theme. Current version is 3.7.0.

Appreciate any advice. Just want to get it to the 2.2 version.

Do this: 1) Uninstall what you have done. In your AdminCP click on Plugin & Products then click on Manage Products. 2) Look for Ultimate Side Columns in the list and opposite it there is a text drop-down box with the word "Edit" in it. Click on that dropdown box arrow and choose "Uninstall". Then..

Use your FTP program to upload everything in the Upload folder that came with the 2.2 version file. But before you upload to your server remove the usc_upgrade.php file from the admincp folder. After you upload all files check the admincp folder on your server to make sure the usc_upgrade.php file isn't there. If it is then remove it. Once you have uploaded all the files to their proper locations on your server then...

Go to your AdminCP click on Plugin & Products then Manage Products and click on the Add/Import product link at bottom of page. In the Import Product window browse to the location where your 2.2 files are and choose ONLY the 2.2 product file. DON'T import any others as this is a new install and not an upgrade. Make sure you choose Yes for Allow Overwrite. Then....

Click Import. Mod should be imported properly and you can now make necessary changes to usergroup permissions in Usergroup Manager. To add content to a block just read the instructions and when you are ready to add content go to your Admincp, click on Search in Templates, type in the letters usc in the text box and click Find button. All the usc templates will appear and you can begin to choose which block(s) to add content.

I just upgraded to VB 3.7, USC 2.2 and VBA CMPS 3.01 - prior to this I had no alignment issue. Now, my right (USC) column has dropped to the left side below all content - see here .

I don't know where to go with this since I can't be sure if it's a a VBA CMPS issue or a combination of VBA & USC, so I'm posting it with both authors in the hope I can find a fix.

On first glance it would seem likely that it's a style problem, the same problem presents when I select the default VB skin - see here - then go to http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/.

As can be seen, I have no problem with the main forum pages, just the portal page. I'm guessing that it's related to a rogue <div> problem, but having scoured my templates and the forums here and over at VBA - I'm at a loss as to where to look next.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Mike :)

So basically so far I've noticed USC does not pull info for:
- the poll hack above
- latest gallery posts (vbgallery)
- forum stats

They used to work fine in the 3.6 version of your right-side forumhome only hack. The reason I switched
is because that older hack had endless W3C errors.

Considering this hack is listed as "unsupported" and the developer stated the above won't be available until the 3.0 version, does anyone know how to resolve this in the meantime?

andrewc_11890 06-06-2008 01:42 AM

Can you use this to post advertisements in columns? Or do I do that with another MOD?

ALil'Hope 06-06-2008 02:03 AM

Awesome mod, going to use it myself =)
Installed

apex944 06-06-2008 02:12 AM

Is there anywhere else I can get this mod? I simply cant extract this zip file on any PC I've tried here. (IE or FF) When I view the file I see some MacOSX files in the zip and then inside the "upload" folder all the files are 0 kb ... And I have DL this file on 4 different PCs at this point all with the same result...really want this mod!! Please let me know where else I can grab it.

KPalicz 06-06-2008 02:19 AM

How could we customize it so we have two right columns instead of a left & right?

I just want to move the position of the left column to the right of the forum and have the right column be to the right of that.

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'm not promising at this point, but I will add it to the 3.0 wish list.

Make sure you have also set the usergroup permissions to be able to view the columns.

This could be because the product file is quite large and you have suhosin on your server although normally that would give a forbidden message not a blank page.

Version 2.0 is stable, and should not have the files uploaded. If I recall correctly 2.0 doesn't have the custom links section in it, but it certainly doesn't have the permissions and therefore must not have the bitfields file uploaded.

Yes, simply add the ad code to the block template where you want it to be displayed.

Use the manual edits but put the $usc_left (or whatever the variable is called) next to the $use_right in the footer instead of the header. You still need to edit the header with the rest of the code, but just omit the variable and add it next to the other one in the footer.

Reupload the files then reimport the product setting Allow Overwrite to Yes

As it is only you that is reporting this, it is something on your computer that is causign this, most likely a firewall or antivirus. Disable them, download the file, then reenable them.

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:

I'll have a looksie. Thanks.

Thanks :)

In the usc_sidecolumn_left and usc_sidecolumn_right templates there is a <br /> near the start of the templates. Delete it from both templates.

It uses the spacer width in the stylevars for your style for the spacing. You would need to reduce your spacer width in your stylevars.

I'm not running vBAdvanced at the moment (well I am but not in the same place as I am running USC). I'll need to install it on my dev board when I get time and see what is going on. It's most likely to be a style issue or a malformed template though. If you can enable the template comments on your forum and poke me here when you have done it, I can look over your page source and see if I can locate the issue that way.

I have to regret that it doesn't work as good as I thought.
With showthread.php the posts seem to get smaller in a cascading style.
The width of the table top seems ok and the first post is a littlebit smaller, the second is smaller than the first and the third I don't have posted yet. :p

If I find a solution I will tell you.

Hi Kerry-Anne,

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll need some guidance on how to "enable template comments" - in 3 years I've never come across that option and despite searching here and VB.com, I can't seem to turn up any info on it.

Perfect :)

You are missing the start of the main table.

Did you use the manual edits? If you did, make sure you have done the header edit.

If you have used the automatic edit, please let me know which automatic edit setting you have chosen then I can look into it.

guvner 06-06-2008 10:48 PM

Aaah - OK then - perhaps this will explain my predicament - when I first upgraded to 2.2, because the previous version hadn't used permissions, I couldn't figure out why the sidebar wouldn't show up, so I uninstalled it and tried manual template edits.

Since that didn't work either (embarrassed to admit) I re-installed and selected automatic edits again - and only then did I get around to reading where I needed to set UG permissions :o

So in essence I've done both - but auto was the latest - having said that, I can't recall choosing a specific setting or method :confused:

IvyKeepMommy 06-07-2008 08:24 PM

I apologize if this is a newbie question...

I have two licensed forums - a local mom's group (not visible to unregistered guests) and a national version of that site that is guest viewable. The local group is older and much more active since the national version has not yet officially "launched" (meaning it is open and members of the local group have been told about it, but there hasn't been a concerted effort to bring new members in as we are planning that in July for our official launch)

To facilitate the launch and to help members of the local group remember to check and comment on posts on the national group, I'd like to set up a side column on the main forum page of the local group that has links to the 10 or so most recent posts on from the national site. (That when clicked would drive the member to the national site to read the thread).

Can I do that using this product? Can you give me a tip on what I would put in the side box to pull the information off the other site?

Thanks in advance for your help!

bandarsq 06-08-2008 09:46 AM

great hack

I'm veiwing my forum using res. 1024 x 768
I'm using a more than 200pix wide table in one of the USC blocks and as a result I get a scroler at the bottom of the page. Is there a limit in width for the blocks so I don't get a scroler using 1024 x 768 res.

Thanks

There are some instructions on vB.com for showing the latest threads in a HTML page. Use these in one of the block templates but make sure you use full urls otherwise it will pull the info for the site that you are displaying it on not the other site.

make sure you are using a fluid width. Some fixed width styles have this behaviour due to the way they are coded.

andrewc_11890 06-08-2008 07:32 PM

I downloaded the zip folder, unzipped it. I installed 2.0, then I upgraded to 2.1 then upgraded to 2.2, I saw that the side columns appeared when I had 2.0 installed, but Now that I have 2.2, they dont appear? I can get to the edit area, but it still doesn't make them show up when I change the options. Also which option do I use to post an adsense html code in?

jrcal 06-08-2008 08:29 PM

Hello,
I've tried searching and troubleshooting for a few hours now, and I haven't been able to fix my problem.

I just did a fresh install of 2.2, and for some reason, the left column won't show up at all, and the right column shows up at the very bottom of the screen. Aside from the general setup configurations, does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: I actually resolved the problem right after I posted. It turns out the tweak that I used to attempt to use to make it work didn't get submitted... so now it's all working! Thanks Kerry-Anne for this FANTASTIC module.

Best,
JR

Sorry Kerry-Anne, but I can't see anything there which relates to template editing type unless you mean the radio button at bottom - there I've selected "below navbar and below notices".

I've provided a screenshot (link below) which shows all my USC options.

Also, should I still leave the "orphan" column on my main VBA page for your reference or do you have what you need, until this is fixed I'd like to disable USC there since it looks a little weird.

Thanks again,
Mike :)

You don't install and upgrade, you just install the latest version (2.2). As is said in the install instructions and numerous times in this thread You need to set the usergroup permissions before the columns will be displayed. To put code into your columns, you edit one of the usc_block templates.

It's possible that your style does not have the required code for the auto edit in this location. Use the manual template edit setting and edit the templates to add the start and end code. The instructions are in the downloaded files.

>> upload the USC files to your forum directory then immediately delete usc_upgrade.php from the AdminCP directory

Then why upload it at all? For 2.2 fresh install should it not say "Do not upload usc_upgrade.php " ??

Hi Kerry-Anne - I removed the auto edit option then added the code you provided in your readme to the end of the navbar and the top of the footer and all's well.

Thanks!

Mike :)

You don't install and upgrade, you just install the latest version (2.2). As is said in the install instructions and numerous times in this thread You need to set the usergroup permissions before the columns will be displayed. To put code into your columns, you edit one of the usc_block templates.

:o:o Sorry I didnt see that

Hey I have another question. I only have my left hand column enabled right now and that is all I want for now. I am putting google adsense in the side column. However I my page will only display a max of 2 ads in the column. How do I change this?

Also, is it possible to make it so there is a bit more space between the ads rather than them being right on top of each other?

Also, the only thing that appears even when i click the boxes such as search or user cp to display, all i get is the column Header? I have set the permissions for everyone to see the columns.

Thanks, Andrew

Keep this in mind. You probably have another google ad somewhere in the page right? maybe a banner at the top?

Google AdSense only allows 3 TOTAL ads in one webpage. so if you have a banner on top, the columns can only display two more ads

andrewc_11890 06-11-2008 05:43 AM

ya you are right i have a banner. however i also have a google referral ad at the bottom too. do those ones not count. is it only 3 ads for content allowed per page. so i could put up yahoo ads then if i wanted to put up a few more and get a wider variety of advertisers right?

Viruseater 06-11-2008 12:35 PM

They're different. you can have 3 google for content ads on one page, a google search, and a google referral. That's ok.

You might want to check the terms of service but I don't believe google allows you to run Yahoo ads on the same pages it's ads are on.
