Left/Right Column Hack with Include File Enabled · **Released**: 05-04-2006

First of all, this hack is modify from the original column mod by amykhar. I would assume you already have the original mod installed, if not, click here

As many people have asked but got no answer, the original mod did not let you to have include file or using vb include function. This little hack will help you. :banana:

I havent tried, but it seem just using the same method to work around, it should work.

Nifty!

Question: Can this be set to have the column ONLY appear on ShowThread & ForumDisplay, in specific forums? (ie: I only want the column to appear in one forum)

Thanks!

I did that with include statements in my forum header.

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Left Column Code  -->

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

<if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(0,3,8,29,49,50,51,52,53,59,62))">

<tr>

<td width="15%" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>

<td valign="top">

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr>

</if><td valign="top">

<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Just change the forum id's to the ones you want to show the left colum on. Leave the 0 though if you want the left column on non-forum pages like home or any pages you have added.

can you be a little clearer with the instructions?

first, i added the new plugin.. which automatically lead to a automatic error that made my whole site inactive. i set the plugin to "active" because the instructions didn't say whether to leave it on/off.

also, the instructions said to go to your modified footer template to replace $leftcolumn with $testinclude. in amykhar's original instructions, it didn't say to include any $leftcolumn code..

thanks for the help, and great hack.

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