The left sidebar fills the whole window after I installed any suggestions, forums get push way off tothe right.

Just to add here.. I did not use your template to create a left sidebar on all pages...

I used your template to insert ads into a module for vBadvanced. It worked great without making me reprogram everything. Thanks.

Does anyone know where exactly to change the table width?

To see what I am talking about, visit FightForum.com and notice that the posts are indented from the Thread Tool bar above. I don't want the Thread Tool bar to overlap the size of the post table. I'd like everything to line up correctly. This problem is somehow related to this mod, if you can help please PM me.

Nevermind, I figured this out. If anyone has a similar problem, I editted the folowing code in the postbit_legacy template...I'm assuming if you don't use legacy you would edit the same line in the postbit template.

<if condition="$show['spacer']">$spacer_open<if condition="!$post['islastshown']"><div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">

I removed "$spacer_open" at the very top of the template.

I did this for a client. It's fairly straightforward:

1. In your ACP add a new template named 'sidebar' or similar (the example I'm using here assumes the template is named this). This is the template containing your stuff going in the sidebar.

To the FORUMHOME template AFTER $navbar add:

<!-- Added table for left sidebar on forumhome -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
	<tr>
		<td valign="top">
			<b>Menu</b>
			<hr />
			$sidebar<br />
			<img src="clear.gif" height="1" width="120" alt="" />
		</td>
		<td><img src="clear.gif" height="1" width="2" alt="" /></td>
		<td valign="top">

...then immediately ABOVE <!-- what's going on box --> add:

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /Added table for left sidebar on forumhome -->

*Note - If you want the column wider or narrower just adjust the width of the width="120" clear.gif. The width="2" clear.gif adjusts the spacing between the sidebar and main forum display.

3. Open index.php and immediately ABOVE:

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

...add:

/// Hacked in side menu on forumhome
eval('$sidebar = "' . fetch_template('sidebar') . '";');

4. Add whatever you want to the sidebar template.

That should do it .

Installed as specified in the .txt documentation and when I went to edit global.php, this code is not there, any ideas?

eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header') . '";');

I am running: vBulletin Version 3.0.7

[Andreas]

It is there - line 491 in an unmodified global.php

I guess mine must be modified, because I cannot find it, did a search in the file. Anything I can do to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
