Forum Home Enhancements - Right side column on forum home and forum display

Right side column on forum home and forum display

As the title says this mod simply puts a column on forumhome and forumdisplay pages.

Installation:
Download the attached XML file.
Import the product.
Edit navbar and footer templates. (See below)



Add this to the very end of navbar template:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_start}

PS. After edit the code above must be the last line in the navbar template.



Add the code below to the first line of footer template:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

Footer template after adding the code:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
<div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}">
  {vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
  {vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
</div>
</vb:if>

......

Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_rightcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column.


Finally don't forget to click install.


Thanks to Lynne for additional css plugin code which I used in this modification.


PS. Do not use my side column mods together use only one.


================================================== ==

 
If you want to enable or disable this hack on different pages of the forum ..

Please see attachment. Any way to make the top of that column look like the rest of the forum?

Thanks in advance.

Update the product and see how it goes. If the column are not aligned due to custom style you can edit the CSS template. Edit ss_rightcolumn_index class and adjust the top margin.

This means you did not revert the templates.

You have to revert all 4:
ss_rightcolumn_start
ss_rightcolumn_end
ss_rightcolumn_contents
ss_rightcolumn_css.css

i like this mod unfortunately mine shows after wgo. any idea how to fix it? tia

[xml]

what if i want it to be below the navbar as shown in the attached pic

[Jack Jones]

Thanks for the updates, they're great.

One issue I now have, is I added the side column code so it would also show in SHOWTHREAD.
But now, the table itself seems to be missing (See right hand side where the banners are).

Any advice appreciated.

Easier than doing a screenshot..if you visit my forum you will see the sidecolumn isn't sitting right next to the forums. It sits below, but why? All I did was upload the xml file and edit the correct templates...?

I thought it was one of my styles, but every skin I add it ends up occurring.

Help?

You have modifed the code. And I cannot help you there as I dont know what you have done.
