What is this:
By default VB4 sidebar will be shown only on forum home page. This mod Will display the Sidebar everywhere in the forum. This mod assumes that you already set your sidebar block from "forum blocks manager".

Current Version:
1.5.3 (Free)
2.2.13 (Gold)

Demo:
Latest Technology

  • You can hide sidebar in the excluded forums mod options.
  • You can show sidebar for all or show it for non members.

Requested Features [ To Do ] :
  • -

Mod requirements:
  • The mod is tested on default vb style with no other mods. So we gurantee that mod will work on the default vb style with no conflict with other mod.
  • As a courtesy we may make minor fix so the plugin works on styles other than the default but we are not hold to it.
Installation:


1. Download plugin.
Only free ver:If you are using vb4.1.11 or above download the "cssrollup_everywhere_sidebar.xml" and upload "cssrollup_everywhere_sidebar.xml" to /includes/xml directory.

2. Login to your vBulletin admincp.

3. Open "Plugins & Products", and go to "Manage Products".

4. Click on "[Add/Import Product]".

5. Import the product-everywhere_sidebar_xxx.xml file that you download. Make sure you set "allow overwrite" to "yes".
Only free ver:Also if you are updating the product you need to disable then enable (or even un-install then install) the product to let the product knows about the "cssrollup_everywhere_sidebar.xml".

Optional steps for setting different blocks for different forums and pages:

6. Go to mod options
Admincp->Settings->options->EveryWhere Sidebar (ESB) options

7. Go down until you see "Block Configuration Switch" check "yes" and save.

9. Any block you want to hide add its block id with colon on "Filter Blocks by forums" or "Filter Blocks by page" text box in the mod options. For example to hide block_html_7 on all forums except forum id 1 and 2 we will add this "block_html_7:1,2" without qoutes to "Filter Blocks by forums"box; and to hide it in all other pages except faq and calendar we will add this "block_html_7:faq,calendar" without qoutes to "Filter Blocks by pages" box. See picture below

change the padding size for #sidebar_container as you wish
eg
padding:50px 0;
Note:In the new vb versions sidebar css has been moved from forumhome.css to separate file called sidebar.css
Most asked question:

Q:I've installed your sidebar mod and it works fine except on the forumhome! The sidebar is showing at the bottom of the page. Any idea how to fix it?

A:It is either due to one of these:
1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look.
2. You are using a nother mod that is changing the content of froumhome before this ESB.

ESB needs to see this in forumhome
PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"> 
So to tix this problem you either need to make sure that
PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"> 
exist in the correct location or change ESB forumhome plugin to search for a new phrase.

for the latest version 1.4.1+ it looks for
PHP Code:
{vb:raw navbar} 
and
PHP Code:
{vb:raw footer} 
so if you are setting new style make sure not to remove or change
PHP Code:
{vb:raw navbar} 
and
PHP Code:
{vb:raw footer} 
location to get sidebar in the proper location.

If you searched this mod thread you will see that this has been answered several times

Anyway

It is either due to one of these:

1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look, ESB needs to see this in forumhome

PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"> 

I think in your case you need to replace
PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"> 
with
PHP Code:
<div id="bg"> 
you replace that in forumhome hook of the mod plugins


Regards
I replaced all of these in the product file, but no glory, other suggestions? Thank you! The wierd part is, if I disable the mod the sidebar shows up just as it should....

My users are asking for persistence of sidebar preferences. If they close it, they are expecting it to stay closed for the duration of the time they are logged in. How can I do this?

It does that for me. No probs. My problem is that I still can't get it to hide on chaosen forums. I still have to organise access details for the mod developer.

I just upgraded from 1.14 to 1.34 and it now works for me. I hadn't realized I wasn't running the latest code.

I still get a "Flash of Unstyled Content" when the page loads. the sidebar shows for a second then hides. Is there anything that can be done about that?

Yes, I get that too. It's not a problem but I suppose that if it were resolved, it would be better

It's a nice mod.. however with a custom style like mine it hardly works..
Since it uses "pagetitle" to find where to put the sidebar it does not work for my style; I have edited the plugin hook to have it moved however that leads to more problems:

In my style it has pagetitle for some locations (forumdisplay, memberlist, etc.) and then doesn't have pagetitle for others (forumhome, showthread, etc.) so by changing id=pagetitle to something else I can either have it work in some locations or other locations but not all.
