  {vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}

  {vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}

</div>

</vb:if>



......

Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_leftcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column.

Finally don't forget to click install.

Thanks to Lynne for additional css plugin code which I used in this modification.

PS. Do not use my side column mods together use only one.

this feature is now default by Vb, unless you have got something extra in it... do you ?

IMO, it looks better than the default and the default one is too wide for some people (as stated in the other thread)

I definitely like this better than the default one! And it doesn't bounce when you go to the index page. :-)

You COULD edit the XML file and change:

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">

and re-import

When I add a third section the white background for doc_background shrinks. Noted in images below:

I would really love to be able to add more sections to the column.

1 - This is not for Beta 5 it is for RC2.

2 - you cannot use both side coulmns togather (I am working on column on both sides.)

3 - you may edit the css template for rightcolumn and move the column up/down.

Good thing - thanks. I think I will use it.

Is it possible to use the widgets in the column?

Like recent forum comments, blog comments, etc..

Would be nice.

merry xmas,

great product, but how do I move the column first head down so it is level with the first forum (ie, mine is called 'forum rules')...

At the moment, the left column head is level with teh forum text, not the forum headers.

12-28-2009 02:54 AM

one more question.

My ads (in swf format) and coming out squashed...

They are 160px x 620px (approx), what tempate(?) would I adjust to get them to display correctly? Can the border also be removed?

Many thanks.

Hi there, first of, great work with the mod! Really usefull :)
Just one question, is it possible to make the 'What's Going On?' column so that it looks like in this mod? It would be just perfect If it were possible to get it filling the bottom of the forums. Thanks in advance for your time and work, really great job.

How to reduce space and make it small it like twine banners my forum link in my siggy space.

Doctor Death

I have a series of member photographs, very small... 99 pixels wide.

I would like to know if I could display my members photos on the left panel two-by-twos using this product.

all of the images are 99 x 84 pixels wide, so I imagine using some form of html table.

what would you recommend and do you think this would be an appropriate product to do this with or is there something native in Vbulletin that would be better?

(I only want them displayed on the main CMS landing page)

Thanks!

For cms page you can make a html widget with a table to put your images.

Thats a great idea... I am trying to have pictures with their names below them, two across.

can you give me a sample of what that HTML code would look like?

Thank you again.

Thank you again.

If you are going to add members photo's manually you can make a widget with "Static HTML" and use something similar to this code below.

HTML Code:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td>Image 1</td>

    <td>Image 2</td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td>Image 3</td>

    <td>Image 4</td>

  </tr>

</table>

But if you to add the images automatically then you will have to make a PHP Direct Execution widget.

Yes for the CMS, but also for the forum.php?

Is there a simple way to enable/disable the column? I want the users give the possibility to click it away or get it back.

Thanks for the Add!

Great,

Thank You.

I too would like this to be inline with my Main Forum ** Please see a 'before' and 'after' screenshot of how I would like it.:)

I would also like the "What's going on box" to be 100% width of the forum too.

Would you be kind enough as to tell me how I would do this please?

As soon as I am able to do Both of the above, I will Rate and Nominate. :p

Many Thanks.
