tagged, looks terrific

almannai, you mentioned that it take a lot of time, but are you considering adding the option to disable minimizing the sidebar vertically and horizontally? that would basically make this mod perfect.

hello guys, first thanks you for this mod i was looking for that its very good. I just have a little request. Is it possible to move up a little bit the forum part to be at the same level as the side bar , as it is on the main page forums ?

here one screenshot to explain

Thanks in advance.

Hi almannai!

O.K. I really have to post a big thanks again.

Thanks to your mod I was able to create my forum navigator as dreamed for a long while. Including "Newbie Navigation", "Subforum Overview", ...

... and still more ideas in the holster :)

Big Thanks also for your continuing support here!!

That is for the vertical buttons but I really can't tell when will be the next update.
I will try my best to sett some option to control showing the minimizing button as a lot of request for that.

I see what you mean

it is similar to this request

You are welcome,
I've visited your forum and it looks really nice and very well orgnized.
Keep up the good work

This is a great mod which I have almost working - this really should be included as a default to VB4.

Anyway; mod installed and sidebar shows up OK forum home, calendar and search.

But on forumdisplay or showthread the sidebar is forced to the bottom of the page and the layout is broken.

Any ideas where to look to solve the problem.

Cheers

I think I had this problem at first as well... it's been so long since I had to work with it I've forgotten what I did, but, I seem to remember I changed a width value somewhere and it fixed it? I use a 'fixed' width for overall of 936px.

roymogg does Eq4bits suggestion solve your problem?

If not see if there is any other mod that is effectiong your forumdisplay and showthread.

And what is ur vb version?

Hi Almannai,

No this did not fix the problem so I am looking at templates and possible hacks that may cause this on these two specific places on the forum.

I am on 402pl2

Will advise on my findings

cheers

Roy

Nice feature.
It makes life easy.

This now works correctly - I made a slip when including the relevant replacement tag for VBSEO in the div (class has to be pagetitle) - this through out the layout.

Now all works perfectly.

great mod and nominated

Cheers

Roy

Thanks

Great:)

Hi All,

I have installed this as a test of the custom page install on the VBA links directory - I do not have vbadvanced. 'vbalinks' installed as www.example.com/links (outside forum directory)

Sidebar shows up great but the links to the thread url in 'forum threads block' for example show up as:

www.example.com/links/showthread?=xxxx instead of www.example.com/forum/showthread?=xxxx

same for link to user profile - but small avatars, thread title and the rest are fine. I have included the relevant php files in header replace etc.

Looking at the blocks template I cannot see where i can change to an absolute url (not relpath) - when I do change this vb phrase nothing happens. Anyone started looking at this problem with custom pages outside of forum root?

cheers

Roy

Hi Roy

A lot of Adds need relative paths. It's easier if you begint to use e.g. ../links instead of /links and similar. Else you will allways need to change the adds to your needs.

Regards,
Bruno

I would like to help but the mod will display whatever you have in blocks. It has nothing to do with blocks coding.

Good luck

agreed, specially showing ads/links etc,

is there anything i can do to stop members from being able to minimize the side bar at all?,

some coding? anything i can remove?

thanks.

This has nothing to do with this Mod. Ask on vb.com how to disable the sidebar-minimizing.

some users are "stuck" with a blank column since they had the sidebar collapsed before this mod & our removal of the collapse button.

I'd like to test your suggestion (below) since it seems no one has reported back on this possible fix:

there are eight occurrences of in your code. should all be changed to =1 or only the first right after <![CDATA[

thanks in advance

You don't need to replace them all.

Just replace the one on the top of the <hookname>global_start</hookname>

this did not make the sidebar reappear after it has been closed. tested in IE8 and FF 3.6.3

any suggestions other than restoring the collapse button to restore the sidebar?

Sorry I've been away

No it wont your best bet is to tel your visitors to remove your site cookie and restart their browser.

when installed, my "reply with quote" button placed bellow the whole post box.

support?

Can you provide a screen shot?

Where can you control the width of the sidebar ?

Hey,

falls about when it will give an update?
With vBulletin 4.0.4 it comes to loading times of about ~ 5 seconds.
We have tested this extensively and have gone through all of our addons.
In a fresh installation with a blank vBulletin forum there is also such a high load times.

Once the addon is enabled, there is very high loading times.

Regards.

You can do that from vbulletin style only.

Sorry where is the Question!!!

Where abouts in the vbulletin style ? I could not find out where ?

?hm...Update because its laggy with 4.0.4? :D

Regards.

Style manager -> All style options of the style you want to change.

I see ...

Did you try to disable block one by one to see which one is slowing you forum?

No, I have only tested with the entire addon.
I will test it tonight and I will give detailed feedback.

I have already heard it give the most performance problems is to run the PHP scripts in vBulletin 4.0.4

We are still waiting...:D

Anyone ablte to add the sidebar to "Project Tools"? Custom Page-Instructions on Post 1 have no effect since $sidebarext and $sidebaropen are still null...

Edit: Works! I missed the first point: ACP > Enable for custom pages?: Yes. ...:rolleyes:

small steps are always missed ...:)

Is this coming?

Not sure if it will be added or when.

Hi Almannai

Perhaps there's an easier way to add - as a first step - possibilities for programmers to achieve this. An ACP > Settings-Possibilities is perhaps another quite complicated thing...

Perhaps you know which hook adds a plugin-in, which will execute after every block, preventing its visibility in relation to the active forum or page.

As far as I understand things, this should be possible. In a later step we will find ways for nice settings and also prevent executing instead of deleting.

Kindly regards and thanks for all your engagement!
Bruno

Thank you Bruno for your useful input

Frankly don't know if there is a hook that will be called on block start to atach the plugin in.

Rightnow my hand are tied up in onther project and I don't want to promisse anybody if am not sure it is possible to do it.

Regrds,

I think, there's no easy way to prevent creating the block but after creating, it can be deleted... will have a look myself - as well after my other duties :)

'm working on this now and almost making it working

Custom blocks for different pages will make this a "must-have".

Congratulations! I forgot to mention, that I was not able to find a suitable solution for both ideas.
