Layout, and a new statistics for "What's Going On?"
 

About this modification :

I will give you a new look for the "What's Going On?" box. It is not complicated, even very simple. You would have a statistics about "real" posts, rearranging the layout for "What's Going On?" become neat, and give it full size.
Not much to say, it is better to start immediately!

   If you want easier look and neat, add to the front <br /> and <br /> at the end.
   
2. Make it neat : I will split statistics and icon legend into two column.
   - First, search for : <div class="blockbody formcontrols floatcontainer"> and add below :
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

                           <table cellpadding="{vb:stylevar padding}" cellspacing="{vb:stylevar spacing}" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
                                <tr>
                                        <td width="60%" valign="top">

   ---

   - Then, search for :
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

                                                                   {vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_wgo_stats}
                                                        </div>
                                                </div>

   ---

   add above :
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

                                           </td>
                                        <td width="1%" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
                                        <td width="39%"  valign="top">

   ---

   - And finally, search for : {vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_wgo_pos5}, add above :
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

                                           </td>
                                </tr>
                        </table>

   ---

   And, it over !
   
3. If you want your WGO full width (when use "Sidebar & Block"), please as in direction after path:
   - At very bottom, search for and delete (or cut) it:
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

           <vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
                </div>
        </div>

        <div id="sidebar_container"<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'"> class="sidebarleft"</vb:if>>
                <a id="sidebar_button_link" href="#">
                        <vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'">
                        <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed-left.png" alt="" />
                        <vb:else />
                        <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed.png" alt="" />
                        </vb:if>
                </a>
                <ul id="sidebar">
                        {vb:raw sidebar}
                </ul>
        </div>
        </vb:if>

   ---

   - Then, search for : <!-- /main -->, add below :
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

           <vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
                </div>
        </div>

        <div id="sidebar_container"<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'"> class="sidebarleft"</vb:if>>
                <a id="sidebar_button_link" href="#">
                        <vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'">
                        <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed-left.png" alt="" />
                        <vb:else />
                        <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed.png" alt="" />
                        </vb:if>
                </a>
                <ul id="sidebar">
                        {vb:raw sidebar}
                </ul>
        </div>
        </vb:if>

Do not difficult to do, and now please enjoy what you have made​​.

I tried doing the whats going on at 100% width trick and it breaks everything.

If you notice you are moving a closing <vb:if> you can't do this as it leaves an included vb:if. You can not even save the template with the edit you are doing.

Also if u move the vb:if then statement attached to there it puts everything into one column.

any screenshot?

Demo doesn't work for me?.

Off topic, but how did you do that login where it pops up on the page? That is very nice too.

Thanks again for all your work,

-Jason

Just out of curiosity, how do you get that announcement mod that slides out from the left?

Cool, thank you very much.

Can we have a screen shot?

Hi, thnaks for the effort,

and if you have added one then it might be down cause I cant see any images
