Sorry, there was an error in the instructions.

In your FORUMHOME template

The left side version can be found here

Many thanks. Just to let you know, the older install.txt and product are in the zip also.

I've updated the zip, so the details are correct(I just didn't change the date on the install instructions)

i experienced a mysql error after i uninstalled and reinstalled this hack.here's the error message.

This modification has been written for 3.6.0 and will NOT work in 3.5.4

hello :) works great! Thank you :)

How can I make it wider? like forums should be around 80% and this should be about 20%?

You can adjust the width by changing the 160px in this section of the code to your requirements

Thank you very much :)

One more small teeny weeny question. I copied the "What's going on" code section from FORUMHOME and pasted it in the side column but it doesn't show any of the dynamic areas like usernames. Is there something simple that can be added so that it could be passed those values? :)

one more question. Do you know if it is possible to easily add latest threads, birthdays and who's online on to the side bar? thanks

sweet!

will install asap, thanks!

Ooopsie!

:( 3.5.4 here...

Nevermind.. Hacked it to 3.5.4 :) (basically entered the template and plugins from the XML manually)

Also put it on most pages (forumdisplay, inferno, showthred, forumhome)

I guess if your not running 3.6 you could do this:

Templates to edit: FORUMHOME (2 edits)

Edit One

FIND
ABOVE ADD
Edit Two

FIND
ABOVE ADD

As I have previously explained, there is a version for 3.5.4, but you need to contact me for details.

Sorry I didn't see that post. Anyway to add it to show thread?

no, this modification is for forumhome only. amykhar has done a side column that shows on all pages.

Can this work on Photo Post Gallery index page?

installed and work fine , thank you :)

hey guys :)

can someone please help me add this to my cmps ?

Thanks looks good

For everyone asking to have this working on other pages:

I have no plans to expand it to cover other pages at this time. It is possible that in the future I may do additional versions for global useage or for specific other pages on the site, but as things stand these are right at the bottom of my to do list.

Hey peter!

Will you be also updating this one with the fixes as seen in the left column version? Especially the shoutbox fix? Thanks!

Those are coming shortly, I'm going to be working on them once I've got a couple of other things sorted.

Upgraded to version 1.0.2

Changes:

* Now valid XHTML Trans
* Fixed to work correctly with vBShout when located below navbar.
* Added vB.org version checking.

Thank you peter! I'll be using this on a new project and can't wait! :)

First hack to ever be installed on my forum, I'm officially a hack addict. ;)

Thankyou Kerry. ;)

Hey question.. I was toying around with this, and trying to take out the statistics "Posts: 10 Threads: 1 Members: 1 , Welcome today's newest member" etc. and the variable does not show up when i put it in a sidebar box.. Any idea how to fix that? I want to trim the length of the *forumhome* by putting some information in various side boxes...

those variables only work in the forumhome template.

If you find in your forumhome template

and add below the code for the whats going on box then it will work. You will need to change some of the phrases to get them to fit without breaking the layout.

This works great, just what i've been looking for. Thanks peterska2.

ive installed this and everything that belongs on the right is at the bottom of the page. what did i do wrong?

it is something to do with the content that you have in your column template.

There should be no closing table tag at the end of it, and no starting table tag at the beginning of it.

well i dont get it cause it works fine for 1 template and i just copied the content over and it wont work this time.

im making the same edits as i did before and the content does have tables. i can share it with you and you can see for your self if you like?

Thanks Peterska

After installing this i am getting horizontal scroll bar and my whole forums seems to have shifted by 160px.. what can I do to prevent this

whats your URL? The one in your profile is invalid.

My URL is techjobs.co.in

I tried right column, then left column mod you have provided... it works fine on wide screens. however on 14 inch monitor user has to scroll
