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.

You don't have to change your header and footer, if you use the product.
But it works fine if you just change these two. You don't need the product then.

not sure I am quite following you....

I installed the script in my header/footer templates. So now you are saying I dont need to install the XML file???

here is what I am trying to do, perhaps someone can offer me some direction.

I would like to do a left column, then do the vertical navigation, then possibly add a few things of my own (sponsor links) in the left column as well. What would be the best way to approach this?


here is a link to the vertical navigation mod I am trying to do..

In the beginning this hack was no product. You had to make the changes in the header/footer templates yourself.

Now Amy has upgraded the hack to product status. Therefore you don't have to make the changes yourself, the product makes them for you. The only difference I can see is that you get some example html code if you use the product. If you made the template changes yourself you don't have that.

Should work with peterskas hack anyway.

Give me a poke with exactly what you want to achieve (pics are helpful if possible) along with all mods you've installed that need navbar links and I'll see what I can do.

Hiya, im trying to get a left column and possible a right one on my forum but we have a template on it, everytime we add the plugin to make the side columns our forum in the middle shrinks to a really silly skinny size lol. Is there any way of adding side columns without shrinking the size of my forum?? Or am i just being really stupid here? I'm not very experienced at coding and adding all this stuff so any help would be much appreciated! :nervous:

My forum is located here so you can see the template we have on etc :- http://www.enchantedentertainment.co.uk/forum

When your adding these columns your making the width of the main forum table smaller so the columns can fit. By default the width of the columns are 160px, I changed it to 120px. I would use only left or right.
