Hi I need help putting in a php code inside a block in this hack. I'm using simple pie for a rss feed and want to put in the following code into the block so that it shows up in the column like regular links:

Code:

<?php



require_once('simplepie.inc'); // Change this location to match where you uploaded the simplepie.inc file to.







$feed = new SimplePie();



$feed->set_feed_url('http://ml-implode.com/rss.xml');



// For everything else, we'll assume default settings



$feed->init();







echo '<ul class="feed">';







// We'll loop through all of the items in the feed and display a linked title for each of them.



foreach($feed->get_items() as $item)



{



    echo '<li><a href="' . $item->get_permalink() . '" target="_blank">' . $item->get_title() . '</a></li>' . "\n";



}







echo '</ul>';

?>

For some reason I do not get the actual feed URL's but just the raw code that shows up. Any help would be great!

TIA!

is there anyway to make these floating so they stay with the user as they scroll down?

Awesome EmpireZ, that did the trick, now I got 20 blocks on each side, editable from the options panel. :)

Thanks!

Hi All,

This mod is great...just having a little trouble with it.

Does any of you have your sidebars a fixed width (I assume most would)? I can't get the middle or main section to collapse when the browser is shrunk.

Any ideas would be very appreciated!

I have read of two others that have this slow loading issue, but no solutions. It is a result of this code


<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
$usc_left
<td valign="top">


Right after the header loads, the forum loading pauses then continues as normal.

Anyone have a solution for this?

I installed this mod with out any problems, with default columes. Only used one right-handside colum with no text or image.

I noticed there was a significent delayin the load time when that hack is installed. When I uninstalled this hack, the delay was removed.

Are you getting the same problem?

Does anyone know of a way to get this to show only to certain usergroups?

This is a great mod and works perfect.

The only problem we have is that "Display Pages For XXX Column" doesn't offer to many choices.
Maybe it would be possible in a next version to combine choices.

Another problem that we have is that we don't want the colmns to appear in the photopost addons, but we don't know how to do it.

Maybe someone has some hints for us. :)

Just add a array for the usergroup to show in the usc_side template.
<if condition="(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6)))">

Use a <if> condition, script for photopost in the beginning of the header template using != to stop it from showing.

Man I have been searching for days for this bit of code to find what usergroup someone is a member of.

Thank you very much!

The whole reason I needed this is because there is not a mod for vB, that I can find, where you can have a side column with links to important parts of the site and other things (like latest X posts etc) and also have advertisements. But the part where the advertisements can be turned off for a certain usergroup (in my forum it's usergroup 9 for Sponsors).

As it is I have to use the vBAdManagement mod to show the links and adverts. And then use this to just show the links and other things without the adverts.

It would be really nice to see a mod where we can have a side column where only the adverts can be turned off leaving other things intact.

But this is working with the code EmpireZ gave me. I just changed the 6 to a 9 in the array and added the code to the top of the usc_sidecolumn_right template of the mod (and the </if> statement at the end).

2 questions,

For each column block, how do you change the background color and can you create a header for each column block?

Thanks!

In admincp you have Ultimate Side Columns Templates under Styles & Settings/your style/Ultimate Side Columns Templates. Edit those to include whatever.

08-29-2007 08:56 PM

Sorry--I'm an utter noob to vBulletin and mod-installation. When you edit the header and footer templates, do you access those templates through your administrative control panel, specifically by going to >Styles and Templates >Search in templates on the sidebar? Is that correct?

Also, is the mod running okay on forums that are updated to 3.6.8?

T_Richardson

08-29-2007 09:23 PM

Yes and Yes :)

After installing this mod (which I love!) I cannot get any page except for the homepage to resize down to a 1024 x 768.

Can anyone help with this? I've been trying to fix this for a awhile now and I cannot figure it out.

Thanks!

Any guru out there figure out how to parse php/vbcode yet? :confused:

I've tried downloading it and importing it several times and keep getting this message. Any suggestions?

Any way to get this to show on other pages, such as photoplog and arcade?

Like it shows in the first attachment, the thread blocks have double padding on both side after installing the navigation bar which is normally equal to the header bolck. I didn't like it and found a lot of work to have changed the code. Maybe someone can do this easily. But would have loved the code. Also there might be some problem in opening and closing the spacers as the page have extra </div> issues.

I need to have in one of those boxes on my column the latest threads from only ONE forum not the entire page/forums. I need the ability to just put one forum ID so the latest threads can be called from that one forum only. Any ideas on this?

Help with a two things, please...

1. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the light blue border around each table? I've tried messing with the code in the templates and the actual boxes on the vbulletin options.

2. How do I center the ad that's in the box? align and div align are not working

Thanks!

I have this installed, and now added the new vBulletin Blog. Problem is the side columns takes too much space on the blog pages, so I want to keep it enabled on all pages, except the blog pages, how would I do that?

where should I put the code? Following the instructions, this is what I get:

as you can see, the column is reversed (right column on left side) and the actual left column does not appear anywhere, and the column is above the navbar.

any help is appreciated (NOTE: I am using 3.6.8)

Kerry-Anne:

Simply love it! Just upgraded from the previous left column product (which was also great) and this is even more transparent with our add-ons such as Photopost. Also, noted that vb "if" conditionals work (message #280 in this mod) so one can easily turn off the left column for the new blog, whoson, etc. which we have done accordingly.

Thanks very, very much. A great product! -- Rik

I have some problems/questions

in this link: http://esk.com.mx/foro/?styleid=8

Could the side bar be just below the navbar?

and in this link: http://esk.com.mx/foro/main-forum/14...html?styleid=8

Why is the side bar overlaping the background?
