Left Sidebar on all pages.

Provides a left, right or both sidebars on all pages.

Great hack! Didn't have a single problem with it.

Request

Can you give instructions for adding conditionals? Because on some pages, I want the right sidebar to show up along with the left sidebar (the right sidebar would give more navigation options inside a specific category). Just one simple code will be enough. I'll modify it for other categories.

Thanks for the screenshot lol. I might add this but I'm not sure how well it will go with my 800 pixel width.

Just to let you know, vBtemplates has deleted The Ant's hack. So, there is no need directing people there as an alternative.

It should work fine, if not let me know and we will make it work.

This would require coding as well as conditionals.

</if>
<!-- / close content container -->

What this does is output three </div> tags if the browser is new (ie 6) or three </td></tr></table> tags if the browser is OLD (ie 5.x)

Now, in the SHOW THREAD template there appears to be an extra call for the $spacer_close at the end of the thread tools table. In IE 6 this doesn't cause any bugs because three </div> tags won't screw up anything. HOWEVER, in IE5, the </tr></td></table> tags will screw up the output - it closes the table and sends the post content to the bottom of the sidebar.

SO, here's the fix:

In SHOWTHREAD template, find:

<!-- / toolbar -->

<!-- end content table -->
$spacer_close
<!-- / end content table -->

and delete the $spacer_close text

This method did not work for me and I am using magnus's AdColumns v1.0 hack, which he used this HTML to make work. In fact, I get the same problem with the "squeezing" of the thread when I do this code, even before I activate the AdColumn. Are there any other ideas out there? The changing the one StyleVar to auto does not work either.

I like this hack but does anyone know of something similar that will give you a horizontal bar on top and bottom for banner ads???

Thanks.

Installed on vB3 Gold, simple install & works perfectly!

Thanks
