[Release] Add A New Column To Your Forum Home Page · **Released**: 07-27-2002

Author: mashby

Description: This mod will teach you how to add a new column to your forum home page. This mod places a new column to the left or right of your main forum index. You can choose what content you'd like in the new column by cutting and pasting various sections of the Forum Home. This allows you to have the PM information, statistics, or various hacks to the left or right of the forum home page instead of the top or bottom.

Screenshot See second and third posts.

Thanks

Yes, something does seem to appear along those lines for me as well.

I'm trying to install this but I can't because I have the categories spaced, do you think you can make it work with that because it just makes a thing to the right on the last category instead of all of them.

On adding news to the side, I can do that with mine, due to a system that I have as part of my CMS. I believe you can find something similar on free sites, look for syndication programs. Mine is Javascript, so it will work on just about everything, it's just a javascript call actually.

Not sure on other formats, a lot of news programs use SSI, which may not work at all, even though it is a html call. Depends on your server really, most require a shtml extension for that to work.

As far as I know, a PHP insert may not work either.

Fixed the .txt attachement file. Sorry about that.

Sound like you just need to modify where you put your column. Having spaces in your categories shouldn't matter. For example, you may just have to go up one table and instert the mod there.
