Put a Column on the Left Side of Every Forum Page · **Released**: 07-08-2005

This little PRODUCT will provide you with a template to put content in a column going down the left side of every forum page.

What you put there is limited only by your imagination.

This can easily be combined with the right column product to have a column on both sides.

To use this with the right column product , change the footer code to:

Code:

<!-- Right Column Code  -->
</td>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$rightcolumn</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- End Right Column Code -->

Changes in 1.1
Some very important changes were made to the header and footer template changes. Please modify your header and footer code to use the new version.

This is now a PRODUCT and not a plugin. Use the product manager to import it. If you are upgrading, copy the contents of your left_column template to notepad BEFORE you install the product. Then, replace the template contents with your backup.

This version now includes sample html in the left_column template. Thanks to iguanairs for that code.

ok, i get it now, so i just need to copy your entire hottopics plugin into the current right panel plugin under the -add any code here-

than paste the hottopics code install.txt for the right panel, right ?

That's the general idea, but some tinkering might be required. Also, any dynamic stuff you want shown must be included before the call to process the template.

When I attempt to import this I keep getting the error:
"Sorry, no XML was passed into this function and the $path variable empty"

it works great all over the forum except for the threadview. I've attached two screenshots so you can see the before and after. You can see how in the after, the actual thread is squished.

After adding the box: http://www.voicepeace.com/after.jpg

Does anyone have any ideas for helping the actual thread part sretch out more like the navbar?

Thanks!

I installed this yet only have the left column on the forum's main page. It doesn't show up in my CMPS front page or the subpages of my forum.

What might be the problem? Any help much appreciated!

Could you please port this over to RC3? I just tryed to install it on RC3 and i got some errors when editing templates.

i can hardly get anything to show up in the column. how would i go about showing the "currently online" list that is usually at the bottom in there?

I'm having the same squishing problem. I read that post and it didn't seem to fix it.
