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.

To make them collapsable use this code in your template:

PHP Code:
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" class="tborder" width="100%">
<
thead>
<
tr>
<
td class="tcat" colspan="0">
<
a href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('module_40')" style="float:right"><img alt="" border="0" id="collapseimg_module_40" src="/forum/images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif" /></a>
<
span class="smallfont"><strong>&raquoTitle here</strong></span></td>
</
tr>
</
thead>
<
tbody id="collapseobj_module_40" style="">
<
td class="alt2">
<!-- 
Begin custom code -->
<
a href ="http://www.yoursite.net">Home</a><br>
<
a href ="http://www.yoursite.net/forum">Forum</a><br>
<!-- 
Begin custom code -->
</
tbody>
</
table

I just added this to my forum (3.6) and it works great with 1 minor exception. When I view a thread (showthread.php) it seems to disalign some of the tables. Anyone know a fix to this problem?

Everything else seems to be working okay.

I posted this in the thread for right column, but I will put it here as well since I don't think everyone is checking both threads (and this is the one I am actually using anyway)

For the width issue, what worked for me was removing

$spacer_close
$spacer_open

wherever it occurred - but only in the templates for the problem areas. For me it showed fine everywhere (even showthreads page) except for the Members list and the Calendar. I removed that from both of those templates and now all is good. Hope this helps someone.


Now the problem I am having, is that I would like the footer (the What's Going on box) to go the full width of the page. I accomplished that with the navbar by using that template instead of the header one, but I'd like to find a fix for the bottom if possible. I think it will look much cleaner that way.
