Put a Column on the RIGHT side of every forum page

Rather than clutter up the left column thread with this second product and confuse the issue further, I have made a separate product for those of you who want a column on the right side instead.

This can easily be combined with the left column product to have a column on both sides.

To use this with the left column product, change the header code to:

<!-- Left Column Code  -->
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Great modification for VBulletin!

One question, how can I add more than one block (with block title) to this column? I have the first one set up how I like but would like to have 1 or 2 more below it. Thanks!

Update (example from my left column):

In your right column template, before you start adding content to it, copy the contents of the template and paste it at the end of the template to create another block. Paste as many times as required.

Thanks again Peterska2 I managed to figure it out just before you were so kind as to reply (perhaps you channeled it directly into me hehe). One thing though, the top of the sencond block sticks to the very bottom of the first block. Is there any easy way to put a little space between them?

Stick an extra <br /> or two between the blocks to break them up a bit more.

and np

Yeah, I actually tried that but it just shifts the first block down for some reason :cry:

<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; Block #1</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="BLOCK#1 BG COLOR HERE">

<!-- Block #1 Begin custom code -->
<!-- Block #1 End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<br />
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; BLOCK#2</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="#BLOCK#2 BG COLOR HERE">

<!-- Block #2 Begin custom code -->
<!-- Block #2 End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

[peterska2]

<!-- block one -->
<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; Block #1</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="BLOCK#1 BG COLOR HERE">

<!-- Block #1 Begin custom code -->
<!-- Block #1 End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<!-- / block one -->

<!-- block two -->
<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; Block #1</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="BLOCK#1 BG COLOR HERE">

<!-- Block #1 Begin custom code -->
<!-- Block #1 End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<!-- / block two -->

You are a marvel peterska2!

Now all I need to figure out is how to pull posts from a forum/subforum to display on the front page (ie: totalbf2.com, evilavatar.com) and I'm off to the races. Pretty much. Thanks!

Hi,

question, once you add a right column and you get the little block that says "block name" how do you actually add something?
