Put a Column on the RIGHT side of every forum page

Rather than clutter up the left column thread with this second product and confuse the issue further, I have made a separate product for those of you who want a column on the right side instead.

This can easily be combined with the left column product to have a column on both sides.

To use this with the left column product, change the header code to:

<!-- Left Column Code  -->
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

i have a problem, when i browse threads that have attachments in them (i have thumbnails enabled) the page will be resized into my whole screen's resolution, thereby resulting in a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom needing me to scroll to the right to see the right panel.

i don't have this problem when i browse categories or threads that have no attachments, i checked the attachment templates, they didn't specify a size, weird...anyway to solve this ?

ohgenki, I find it impossible to debug issues like this for users who don't display their forums in your member profile here. I can't recreate the problem on my site and I can't see your site; so without seeing your full style in action I am unable to help you.

alright, this is an example:

http://www.ohgenki.com/forums/showth...t=50923&page=4

the scroll bar at the bottom is only present when viewing threads that contains attachments. also, this problem lies only with the right panel, if i put the panel to the left, it has no such problems.

Can't view the thread because login is required. Can't see the whole page in the screenshot, nor can I view the source to see what might be going on. Try it on a test board with the default style and see if you have the same problem. If not, you're probably going to have to do some page validation work and tinkering with your style to get things aligned as you want them.

[amykhar]

I'm sorry, I don't have time to help people get dynamic data into the columns at this time. Each kind of dynamic data is essentially it's own modification.

I really like this right column thing and I find it to be very useful and I really want to use it on my board.. But there's one thing I have to fix before I can use it..

It's working good on all pages except for on the view thread pages.. For some reason it contracts the thread part. View the attached screenshot to understand what I mean..

Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks

I have a similar problem. Mine seems to expand the header when viewing thread, making the sidebar very tiny.

i had the same problem. i had to remove all the spacer_close and spacer_open tagsd from all the templates... then it works.
