Right (or left) side bar on forumhome
Desciption: This mod will add a right side bar (or left side bar) or divide the forum home into two columns. One with main forum info and additional ones for whatever info you want to add to. For my hack, the addtional column contains guest message, forum stats, user birthday, upcoming event and 1 custom cell.
Installation time: 5-10 mins Template mod: 1 - FORUMHOME Requested by exesko here If you want to make your custom cell(s) collapsable, REPLACE: HTML Code:
<tbody> HTML Code:
<tbody> Click install if you use it. ;) |

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/rcnitro/public_html/forum/index.php(420) : eval()'d code on line 143 -Michael |

make sure to check carefully whether your code is placed properly in those <if>...</if> conditions. ;) |

I ran into a little problem that might also happen to other people
For some people the tables sizes in thread may be changed, so to fix this if you can't figure it out. First Take this out of the bottom of the navbar Template PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
because it is in FORUMHOME now the mod will only edit the index and not any other pages. Edit: And yet I got another thing you can change to make the homepage better. :P when you install this mod at the bottom of the forum home you will notice that the "Current Active Users" table and all other tables below that have been resized. And if you are like me you want them to strech the hole way. So heres what you do. In the FORUMHOME temple Find PHP Code:
PHP Code:

Your fix is for right side bar, ain't it? well, I tested on my test board in both IE & Firefox browsers and didn't see any difference for where you put those HTML tags, but yeah i put all those tags in forumhome for the the left side bar. ;) thanks for pointing it out those. :)
|
Yea, they are for left side bar, but you'd have to be stupid not to know how to use then for left :/
The second was a little fix, because some people like the forums to look a certain way. Like my usersonline at the bottom were changed to be the same size as all the forum content for the index, but with the code moved it alows the usersonline thing to strech all the way across. You should post this hack on vB.org, alot of people are requesting it. |
Thank you!
I am a total novice and I managed to get it on my forum (and with adding some tweaks to it too) :) Great directions. One more thing... how do I get the sidebar to show up on the rest of the forum pages (like when somebody clicks a thread) ? Thanks! |
Thank you! Worked like a charm. (vB3.03)
|
Nice work. I've been around 3 years now, and I finally got one to work!!!
Thanks... |
Well it works good enough for me, I am not that great with HTML so the Custom Cell is a bit hard to work with, but I got it well enough, good mod. Click's install.

Great :)
Is there anyway I can get this sidebar on every page of the forum instead of just the forumhome? Would appreciate that. Thanks |
can someone share the code/idea on how-to acheive the sidebar on forumdisplay pages too ?

It's easy enough to do on forumdisplay, it's showthread that I have problems with.
|
The you must remove the spacers in the postbit template so it can work with showthread. You'll notice that search pages also suffer from the same problem (when you display results as posts).
I have a sidebar working on my board on a private style that works, but I had to remove the spacers. This makes all posts load in the same table, and also means one streched out post messes them all up. |
I just installed this mod, worked like a charm.
Only thing buggin me is it's a bit misaligned, any solutions for this? www.sportstalktexas.com is the site. notice how the side bar is a bit higher then the forums. Also anyone know how to add a log in box, welcome back message/Private message link box, something similar to www.namepros.com? Thanks *Clicks Install |
Can you tell me how to install this mod if using V3.0.3
thanks' |
Looks nice, but i'm having to figure out how to fix the problem of your forum and right/left sidebar being a few px narrower than your navbar. If you look closely you can see in your attachments that its narrower. You can't take out the <cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]"> value because that takes out the space between the main forum and the sidebar.
|
Can anyone help me with my left column. The problem is that it stretchs out too far.
http://ads.sohh.com/forums/ Any help would be appreciated. |
As a couple of other people have asked in this thread, how would i go about duplicating this on all pages? Thing is i need to have an advert on the right hand side, but i want it to be in between the header and footer like it is on this hack.

Anyway, to add another custom cell, FIND: HTML Code:

How would I add the latest 5 posts to my side bar? Not the full posts if possible, maybe just the first 100 characters or so?

HOw would I remove my stats and other info it the bottom of my forums? Just cut it out of the forumhome and paste it into the right/letf bar? Quote:
