Version 2.2.0

The new Activity Stream for VB 4.2.0 is very nice but it feels like it is missing something- and what it is missing is a sidebar. Ideally at some point VB will release a custom sidebar built just for the Activity Stream but until then this quick mod will let you use the built in forum sidebar on the Activity Stream.

As of version 2.0 besides just working on the Activity Stream the mod can now add a sidebar to ANY vBulletin page including forums, threads, groups, albums, who's online, forum leaders, and more. In fact you can easily add the sidebar even to custom pages from custom mods.

New Features
  • Now works on ANY vBulletin Page (except blogs which have their own sidebar)
  • Option to align sidebar with page content or top of page
  • Option to Disable Sidebar Collapse Option (By Usergroup in 2.1.0)
  • Collapsed sidebar state now "remembered" on different pages
  • Option to enable Sidebar by Usergroup
  • Option to disable Sidebar by Forum (if enabled for forums/threads)
  • Option to disable Sidebar in specific styles
  • Options to disable sidebars if mobile devices detected*

NOTE: To enable mobile device detection options you must install the Mobile Browser Detector mod.

Live Demo: Qapla.com Activity Stream

You can enable or disable the Sidebar Anywhere independently of the forum sidebar but they will both display the same content (blocks.)

NEW - If you need to have different blocks on different pages check out this add-on.

You must have at least 1 block setup and active for the sidebar to show.

Unlike most of my other mods this mod is enabled by default upon installation. Be default it is setup to show only on the Activity Stream and register.php pages.

I am aware there is already a mod out there "Everywhere Sidebar" by another coder. This is completely different code and I made this because my "Staff Online Sideblock" mod did not work on Sidebar Everywhere but it does work on this mod.

This mod requires at least VB 4.2.0 to work on the Activity Stream but should work on older VB 4.x.x versions on other pages.

The old version Zip file Sidebar for Activity Stream by BOP5 v11.zip works only on the Activity Stream.

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THIS MOD- THEY ANSWER MOST OF THE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO USE IT.

So it goes...

multi_custom_page.php?ab_s=1
multi_custom_page.php?ab_s=2
multi_custom_page.php?ab_s=3

Upto 10.

So I guess it probably wont work with this, I might just make the pages myself as that seems a lot easier, I was just being lazy by trying to get a mod that made vb pages for me and all I did was add the content in it.

You can test RTL layout very easy:

Go to Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager

Add New Language (English)

Name it RTL Test or what ever you like

But make sure you select (Right to Left) in the Text Direction filed

Find the 4 instances of:

Code:
$vboptions[\'sidebarposition\'] == 0
and change them to

Code:
$vboptions[\'sidebarposition\'] == 1
See if that fixes the issue.

Reinstall is good advice.


It works but the tab-collapsed.png looks not right until I click on it.


Thanks

I'm using the suite version of 4.2.0 and I'm interested only in using the Blog portion on my blog site. Will this mod of yours suit my purpose of using it as a customizable sidebar block on my blog page? I do hope I have asked my question in a manner that you will understand.

This mod doesn't allow for customized sidebar blocks. It displays the same sidebar blocks on every page.

You can use it only for your blog if you want but vBulletin designed the blog to have their own sidebar.

Okay, I understand. Thanks. One more question if I may for either you or anyone else here who may know, is there a way to modify or manipulate vBs sidebar in the blog portion to allow for the addition of HTML or some other way to add sections to the existing pre-packaged blog contents? I just want to add simple html links and small images with links or just some text etc.

This mod should not be re-named from ANYWHERE but instead to Most Anywhere. It does not work on the vB 4.2 Blog page. If anyone wants to make a mod that works with or in addition to the vB version that comes with the blog contact me. Am willing to pay. It MUST actually work though. My Blog is part of the suite version of vB.

It dosn't work on the vB Blog section either. Tried it out. I've given up on vB for my blog and decided to use WordPress Blog instead.
