<font color="RoyalBlue">How we can make the sidebar opened by default ?</font>

[betts02]

istalled and works great, just need to change the colours to match my site

also can you make it select an image if someone does not have an avatar as it just shows a red x if someone does not have a avatar selected...maybe i may just make it so everyone has a default avatar....

also to add, as above can you make it so you have an option to have it on perminently ? select to have an option of colapse ?

cheers

Ensure that you have uploaded the whole content of the "upload" folder to your main directory.

You can edit the colors in the css files.

Drop the content of the "image" folder in your style "image" folder. The mod has already a nosidebaravatar.png included to take into account those users without avatars specified.

Option for collapse/expanded will be added in an upgraded version.

Additional options on the "Cumulus Tag Cloud" will also be added

I double checked, and just checked again.

Open the product file "product_vb4sidebar.xml", and scroll down to the plugins section. In the "cache_templates" plugin, replace:

$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('vb4sidebar_template','vb4sidebar_javascript','vb4sidebar_before_main','vb4sidebar_after_main','vb4sidebar_after_slidebar_div'));

by:

$globaltemplates[] = 'vb4sidebar_template';
$globaltemplates[] = 'vb4sidebar_javascript';
$globaltemplates[] = 'vb4sidebar_before_main';
$globaltemplates[] = 'vb4sidebar_after_main';
$globaltemplates[] = 'vb4sidebar_after_slidebar_div';

Hope this will help your case.

I think it will be very helpful in the next version, if you put an empty block, so we can put adds or any HTML code we like.

I can't figure out why these warmings. I am afraid not to be able to help you otherwise than debugging directly step by step from your site.
