Put a Column on the Left Side of Every Forum Page · **Released**: 07-08-2005

This little PRODUCT will provide you with a template to put content in a column going down the left side of every forum page.

What you put there is limited only by your imagination.

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

To use this with the right column product , change the footer code to:

Code:

<!-- Right Column Code  -->
</td>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$rightcolumn</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- End Right Column Code -->

Changes in 1.1
Some very important changes were made to the header and footer template changes. Please modify your header and footer code to use the new version.

This is now a PRODUCT and not a plugin. Use the product manager to import it. If you are upgrading, copy the contents of your left_column template to notepad BEFORE you install the product. Then, replace the template contents with your backup.

This version now includes sample html in the left_column template. Thanks to iguanairs for that code.

I modified my usercp to put the column on the right hand side.

Shiva, if you look at my site, you will see that I have the navbar above the column. Just add the html that should be in the header to the bottom of the navbar. You may have to do some html tweaking though.

moved your usercp column to the right side? or the sidebar to the right?

Very curious on how you moved the usercpl, if that's what you did

I moved the usercp one. Go register at my site and take a peek if you'd like. That way, you'll know how it looks before you tinker with yours. Moving it is easy. It's just a matter of modifiying the usercp shell template.

Yep, MGM over at vbulletin.com showed me how. I kept trying to mess with aligns hehe.

It looks awesome with the usercp on the right too

Thanks for the hack Amy!

Thanks as well.

I just ordered my new server, so that info will come in handy.

Can you link us to this? I was unable to find it....

This doesnt work at all for me unless I am doing something wrong. I am supposed to upload the XML file under Download / Upload plugins in the admin cp right?

cmiller1014 · #29 07-22-2005, 10:06 AM

this friggin sucks. Can you provide some more info please? How about a template we can use to make it look like the rest of VB?

That's what I did also. I edited the header and footer. I edited the left_column template with some text. Plugins are set to yes. Still a blank column. Running vB 3.0.5 b4

I was hoping to have the latest threads and a nav block in the column.

Edit: Now rereading the entire thread up until this point,
see https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=17
The code (left_column) in the header needs to match the plugin.

I fixed the zip file.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
