Side column on forumhome only · **Released**: 04-10-2006

As Requested here

There are two versions of this mod.

Version One has the side column only down the side of the forum listings.

Version Two has the side column down the side of the forum listings and the whats going on box.

In both instances the instructions are practically the same, apart from the second template edit.

To prevent confusion, I have created two installation files according to which version you require.

To modify the side column, edit the template 'sidecolumn'. The info that is in there is simply a template for you to use. You do not need to use <table> tags in the template as they are included in the forumhome edits.

If you are unsure which version you require, take a look at the attached screenshots and see which one you prefer.

The file names are the version numbers.

Support is limited, and as such will only be provided to those who have clicked install as and when I am able to do so.

Important information regarding support - 20/04/06
Due to time constraints and the amount of things that are being planned for future modifications, priority support will now be provided here. Support provided in this thread will be on an as and when basis.

Hi have installed this and love it.. have menus, google adsense, shop items from my oscommerce store all listed on a left coloum.

But is there a way I can make this show on every page on the forum and in threads etc?

I tried hacking it myself and taking the code out of forumhome and putting into HEADER template which seemed to work ok and was on everypage.. but it gets all out of shape when I go into some threads etc and the threads end up really low down on the screen with lots of whitespace.

any suggestions how I can make this menu apply anywhere on the forum please?

many thanks indeed .

you will also need to put the second part of the code at the top of the footer template instead of in the forumhome template

danielcompton · #77 08-18-2006, 01:29 PM

thanks. Could you clarify that.

So I remove the

Code:

<!-- peterska2 side column -->
<table border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="160px">
<table class="tborder" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
$sidecolumn
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<!-- / peterska2 side column -->

from FORUMHOME and put this into Footer?

When I do this Ijust get the menu starting in the footer.. Sorry I not great at this, only been using vbulletin a week or so.

Not sure what mean by second part of code.

thanks appreciate your help.

but I have seen loads of websites with the poll and threads in the sidebars.how is this done?

thanks
