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 ..

Is there anyway to only show this mod on showthread pages and forumdisplay pages ? so basically all pages except forumhome ?

[lazyseller]

Have a few issues but love the mod. Using it on a default theme and trying to display on the showthread page.

I see people adding latest post to their sidebars...how is this done?

[Daggerzz]

I like this product very well. Simple to use and get going with it.

My only problem is, that I want to put dynamic (database derived) data into the blocks. I want to use PHP to query my database, then format the output, and display it in one of these blocks. How do I do this?

I realize that this question may be beyond what you can do for me here. If so, can someone direct me to someplace else where I can learn to do this.

Thank you in advance.

Will this work with widgets? We currently have a widget on the forum side block but would like to make it display on every page of the forums as well as collapse it.

Hi there... great mod... installed and happy.. apart from one thing



http://www.bajrfed.co.uk/forum.php

notice that the google ads and footer are directly under the righthand column.

I placed this code
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_start} at teh bottom of the navbar template
and this
{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end} at the start of footer template

baffled? I am

Love it but majority of users want it for Recent Posts (Recent Threads, tags etc...) like you have on your sevenskins site and they don't know how to do that so you should explain it in detail here or add it to this plugin. Of course I'm one of them. Thanks.
