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.

Sigh, what ever happened to the old hacks database that only included bug free, ready to use hacks? Everything I have installed lately has a million problems. I am left with about 5 hacks that *almost* work.

ALL 3.5 hacks are in beta right now. It takes a bit of time to work out the kinks in install directions and such.

sorry, I put this in and it threw everything to one side.
My forum is centered, is that the problem? Also I am running a CMS

web site is www.refrigeration-engineer.com/forums

I took the footer code out to stop it being thrown over

You may need to tinker with the html to fit your specific style.

Dez_U · #36 07-28-2005, 08:21 PM

OK, getting there

How do I stop this left colmn showing up on the index? when I have a CMS?

thanks

Use conditionals, sort of like the stuff posted above to make it show for different usergroups. But, this one needs to check the value of THIS_SCRIPT.

can you just post a basic template that will work with all styles? I am unable to make the column look like anything. its a mess

This won't work with RC1... There's a bunch of "emptiness" when I installed it. Look at the screenshot for further info.

Hold on... posting screenshot now...

There is a bunch of emptiness on any version. You need to come up with the content, tables, etc. It wont look anything like the author posted, you have to do that on your own.

Ack I can't do that!

To the author: Can you post a template that's nice for all styles? Because I'm not very good at HTML coding...
