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:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">
			Your custom cell.
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Some text for your custom cell go here!</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

WITH:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_events')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_events" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_events].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			Your custom cell.
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Some text for your custom cell go here!</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

------
Click install if you use it.

Regards,

I got code hack works for forumdisplay, didn't try with template yet. Maybe I can play around with it this weekend.

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

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.

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.
