Can anyone write in clear instructions what i must do to add ONLY a right sidebar to my pages. I have tryed several attempts from reading the instructions with the hack but they just don't seem to have the full instructions for adding only a right sidebar. As far as displaying advertisments is concerned - adverts in the right hand side have much higher clickthroughs. This is due to the fact that many search engines display their ads on the right and have trained us subconciously to look there.

It would also be good if when writing the instructions if someone could include all the bug fixes needed to apply to get the sidebar to line up properly and without distorting the board- rather than having to wade through this thread trying to work out everything.

I would really like this hack but without the full instructions to install it only for right side i just can't work it out. Even when installing both sides it seems to shrink the forums when it should stretch everything out.

If you goto http://www.hostcompanies.com/forums/?styleid=5 you will see that everything on the board is crunched up... anyone know what i must do to fix this?

Any help appreciated

How would you make this work in postbit_legacy?

<else />

    <div align="center">

        <div class="page" style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]; text-align:$stylevar[left]">

            <div style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px">



</if>

I don't know if modifying the $spacer_open template would have any knock-on effects elsewhere, so this just changes the div style padding to all zeroes instead of using the style values.

It's neither graceful nor elegant, but it works for me.

Any ideas on how to make this work with only the right sidebar?

instead of adding this to the end of the header template:

<!-- Sidebar -->

<table width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="7" border="0">

    <tr>

        <td style="width:150px" valign="top">$sidebar</td>

        <td valign="top">

<!-- Update -->

<table width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr>

        <td style="width:100%">

<!-- /Update -->

<!-- /Sidebar -->

I added this to the end of the navbar template:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Sidebar -->

<table width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

    <tr>

        <td style="width:150px" valign="top">$sidebar</td>

        <td style="width:10px" valign="top"> </td>

        <td valign="top">

<!-- Update -->

<table width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr>

        <td style="width:100%">

<!-- /Update -->

<!-- /Sidebar -->

(I basically changed the cellspacing to 0 to align it with the navbar, and since that removed all space between the menu and the right forums i added a 10 pixel colomn between them)

Works great this way. It now shows for all pages except login/forbidden/redirect or other message screens

But i still have the thread view misallignment i posted 2 pots above, so if someone can help me out there, pls do
