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.

try playing with the figure 170 in my code.

with regards to adding a latest posts type thing, I don't know as I haven't done this with mine.

with regards to chowing it on only the forumhome and not in threads, I dunno as this is for all pages not just forumhome.

Already I have tried to play with 170, but what it does is that the block is narrower, but there continues being the same space between the block and the edge of the page.

Thank you

have a look in your leftcolumn template then and see if there are any figures in the top of there. if there are try incrasing them and ensure that the block is centered or aligned to the left

Hi

I try to also move the private message part to the sidebar but the conditionals don´t work there.

Would it be possible to make conditions work in the sidebar as well?

peterska2 · #**197** 12-16-2005, 01:43 PM

@ StarBuG: I'll look into it but it won't be till w/c 02 Jan 06 as I'm offline till then after today.

StarBuG · #**198** 12-16-2005, 03:45 PM

Ok that is fine with me.

This is a good hack to display your google adsense ads on the left. Some other sites do this aswell apposed to the top or footer of the site.

Since putting in this hack, I've had some width and vertical spacing issues between columns. Has anyone had the same problem and know how they can be corrected? I've added a couple of images to explain the problem. Thanks.

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