Left Column for Side Menu Links/ Nav Bar on every page · **Released**: 08-10-2002

I'm sure this has been posted here before, but since Boofo wanted to know how to put a left column menu on every page using a template mod, I thought I would post it here in case anyone else is interested too.

It's fairly simple - just adding some code to your "header" and "footer" templates using basic HTML.

In your "header" template -

ADD this code at the BOTTOM of the template:

Code:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left" width="150"> 
<tr><td> 

PUT YOUR MENU LINKS HERE.

</td></tr></table> 
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> 
<tr><td>

In your "footer" template -

ADD this code at the TOP of the template:

Code:

</td></tr></table>

There you have it - a left column side menu nav bar on every page!

I did something like Erwin posted (he gave me the great idea. Instead of having the left menu on every page I just wanted it on my index and below my thumbnail includer from Photopost-

I added the header for the table in the FORUMHOME template and the footer as he instructed in the footer.

Yeah but if you look at his screenshot everythings shoved over to the right

Does anyone have the code to doing this on the right side of the page, instead of the left?

gmarik · #19 10-20-2003, 06:33 AM

Is there any way to take the links from the DB,
not a manual way to writing them down?!

I have the same problem...the first two posts (those next to my nav bar) are hanging off the side of the page, with no scrollbar or anything.

It looks as though it's taking the 100% from the table width and making it 100% of the full page width, not the table cell.

It's cool, this is just what I need. When I can get it working without dumping the posts off the side of the page.

Ok, i installed this on my test board and got errors like everyone else did. So i did basically what Erwin said in one of his posts

In the Header area at the top look for this code you added--

</td></tr></table>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr><td>

It's right at the top. I changed the 100% too 80% and it sorted everything out perfectly. Baring in mind i have my Main Table and Content Table width set to 85%.

Basically change that % on the code until you find one that works for you
