Create Leftside Rightside Column - includes Table(s) · **Released**: 06-03-2007

These instructions are with table(s) added into the empty column you see after using the instruction provided by Floris & Jake Bunce tutorials in Quick Tips forum @ vBulletin.com. I have little changes, but in whole it is the same. This is for displaying under navbar menu. If you are using a portal, you can add modules within forum and those instruction are posted within other sites forums.

Message Area Width (pixels): [440px]
(This value allows you to specify the width in pixels of the text box used for all message posting in vBulletin)
Code Block Width (pixels): [440px]
(This value controls the width of [code], [php] and [html] bbcode blocks. You may set this value to 'auto', but if you do, Internet Explorer will stretch the width of the block rather than inserting a scrollbar.)

You also need to use postbit instead of postbit_legacy to utilize the most of message space.

View images below.

Yes, I do know many have posted variation of this and this is a variation of that. It is place under navbar and you may choose both to display at same time.

actually i did miss that but it didnt work - can you explain what you meant by postbit and postbit_legacy ?

you can go back to that thread link i gave, didnt work there - and i updated counters too

LEAD_WEIGHT · #23 07-04-2007, 11:15 PM

You need to fix your signature(s), it is not stacking on your pages.

What knd odf code are you using for your sig?

njoker555 · #24 07-04-2007, 11:27 PM

oh wow, thanks lol - dam i just converted today and it looks bad, i have to look at the people's sigs one by one

thanks a lot, excellent support for this mod

LEAD_WEIGHT · #25 07-04-2007, 11:33 PM

Just remove <br /> and ask them or just place sig image on next line below.. Now I wonder why I do not see any padding between block and post?.

I will be back after I have dinner...

ok thanks a lot, appreciate the help a lot

and question, do you know how i can put the info around the forum in there - such as this on top right corner when u login it says "You last visited: Today at 03:53 PM" into the panel.

and stuff like you have "this much private msgs" etc. also forum statistics like total members, posts, etc. on there.

thanks!

LEAD_WEIGHT · #29 07-05-2007, 02:09 AM

njoker555m I have the log in block on post number #2
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....63&postcount=2

njoker555 · #30 07-05-2007, 03:09 AM

right, thanks!

i've been missing a lot of things lately :/ thanks a lot again

edit: i've just tried to set this up on another skin - like copy and paste all the contents and move them where they belong but it didnt work out for me, it all went all the way at the bottom, under copyright and stuff, about to try on another one, hope it works

LEAD_WEIGHT · #31 07-05-2007, 04:56 AM

njoker555, you can not use the same identification to collaspe a cell. This is meant for one cell and you ca change 'rightbar_1' to 'rightbar_2' or if you callaspe one with the same (id), then it will stay close or just not work at all.

If you create a collasping cell make sure that cell has its own (id).

Code:

			<td class="tcat">
		<a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('rightbar_1')"><img id="collapseimg_rightbar_1" src="images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<!-- title start -->
			Right Column Bar
<!-- / title end -->
			</td>
		</tr>
		</tbody>
		<tbody id="collapseobj_rightbar_1"
