No support by the author.

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.

I think this one is a bit advanced for a new user as it requires you to do your own html and such in addition to installing the basic mod.

Please tell me if this works with vbulletin 3.5.4. I have installed it, but it looks pretty messy.

It works with 3.5.4. If you are having any issues with the layout, please make sure that you have done the template edits to both the header and the footer.

could anyone direct me in how to get popup menus to work? I tried doing it like in the navbar but to no avail.

also, would it be possible to have the menus to dropdown from the side instead of underneath?

This was asked earlier, but I couldn't find the answer:

How do you change the width of the left column. I need to make it bigger.

Thanks for a great mod

I think you change the width in the header template where it says
Code:
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>

I thumbed through this whole thread, but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. (Or maybe I missed it?)

I have it set up & working pretty damn good, But I want to add a few other boxes under the exsisting box i have now. I want to add skyscraper banners and such. How do I go about doing this? Everytime I try, it shows up under the navibar.

Thanks in advance.

Joe

You need to edit the template leftcolumn to add additional boxes to the side column.
