Turns out it's simple:
In the USERCP_SHELL template, find this near the top:

<!-- table to support left column nav -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
<td>

then paste in whichever of the following you want to show up:

$sc_user
$sc_stats
$sc_latest_threads
$sc_poll
$sc_ads
$sc_links

That's it. Hope this helps sombody.

This Sidebar Column is a great mod!

Try that in adding it to right sidebar since I don't have a left for members and that doesn't work.

probre the default style and function to the right side, currently use the Orange style, but this style does not work for the right side, someone can help me fix it?

I was asked how someone could stop this from showing on FORUMHOME, but still show on all other pages.

If anyone else is interested the instructions are simple:

In Admin CP go to Plugin Manager, scroll down to the Sidebar mod and edit the plugin:
[+++++++.VN] - Sidebar Column Parse Templates

Find the line:

elseif ($vbulletin->options['sc_lor'] == 2 )

and change it to:

elseif ($vbulletin->options['sc_lor'] == 2 AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'index')

And save your changes. It should stop showing on your forum homepage now.

Is it possible to get the code for the "User Information" block you included on this mod? I'm looking to use this on my CMS as a widget and also on my forum blocks column.

Can you send me this code?

You should be able to do this by adding a conditional to it. See here for tips on that: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=215032

Wow! Awesome mod! Thank you! Marked as installed and nominated!

[shibby2]

How can I make it so it's aligned to the top? Right now it is shown in the middle (about half way down) of my forums. Id like it to start at the top.

Also, if I wanted to add something in the column myself manually, which file would I edit?

Thanks, great mod!
