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.

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Otherwise you will get an extra "<".

Just me, on the page before this one.

Has it still not been fixed?

I would really like to add "who's online" into the side bar - has anyone managed to do this and is willing to share the code.

Thanks.

There's really no code to share. In the FORUMHOME template look for everything between:


...and...


...take it out (or comment it out) and move it to your sidebar. Will probably take some playing to get the rendering right.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
