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.
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.
This has turned out to be a nice plugin BOP5. I rarely rate and vote mod of the month but this one will be getting my vote.
Before asking this question I searched the post with no luck. Anyway I actually need for the sidebar to be disabled on FORUMHOME template. Is this possible to edit somewhere? Reason for this is because I use vBa CMPS for that template in which I have modules that other sidebars do not yet have. I would appreciate any support you can give that will get this taken care of.
