Hello,
To create a "block" that resembles the vBadvanced Blocks, use this code in your left column template:
Code:
<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>» Block Name</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- Begin custom code -->
You can add anything in here.
<!-- End custom code -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
This is some slightly modified code from the old vbadvanced Basic Module Code.
This is what I am using on my test forum, and it works well.
