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

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.

Could anyone tell me how to make the sidebar stretch all the way to the bottom? Thanks in advance.

Would someone be able to send me one of these files or the instructions? For reason when I click on them, I get nothing but a new blank window with nothing in it . I had downloaded them in the past but lost them.

Thanks

for some reason I cant download the attachment It just opens a blank page

[Anne Lise]

Is it possible to have this whole the way from the top?

[damonh]

This was a great hack for me! Thanks!

I'm new to vB and this is the dogs for my board. Thanks:nervous:

[monstermunch]

Has anyone managed to get this on all pages, apart from just forumhome?

[Tony G]

If you use the header and footer templates to code the sidebar, it'll appear on all pages of your forum, rather than just forumhome.

How can you make a cell expand after it's been collapsed? Atm the browser has to be shut down to display it expanded again.
