Template Edits
 
No support by the author.

These template edits will allow you to place either left or right column blocks on every page of your forum...

TO HAVE LEFT COLUMN BLOCKS ON EVERY PAGE

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates (in the menu)

In the HEADER template,find these codes

Code:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
	<td align="$stylevar[right]">
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->
After it,add these codes after it

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

    	<td width="150" valign="top" class="page" style="padding: $stylevar[cellpadding]px;">



<!-- ################## Side Column ##################-->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" align="center">

<div class="smallfont" style="line-height:1.5;"><strong>Forum Members: $numbermembers<br />
Total Threads: $totalthreads<br />
Total Posts: $totalposts<br /> 
<br /></strong>
There are <a href="online.php" style="color:#854f99;">$totalonline users</a>
currently browsing forums.</div><

</table>
<!-- ################## /Side Column ##################-->



    	</td>

    	<td valign="top">

Save it and in the FOOTER template,find these codes


Code:
    <br />
    <div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
    <br />

    $spacer_close
    <!-- /content area table -->
Add these codes after it

Code:
    	</td>

    	</tr>
    </table>
SAVE IT AND YOU ARE DONE!Now you add your custom codes between the <!-- ################## Side Column ##################--> comments.The above is just an example only.


TO HAVE RIGHT COLUMN BLOCKS ON EVERY PAGE

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates (in the menu)


In the HEADER template,find these codes

Code:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
	<td align="$stylevar[right]">
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

Add these codes after it

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

	<td valign="top">


Save it and in the FOOTER template,find these codes

Code:
<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
<br />

$spacer_close
<!-- /content area table -->
Add these codes after it

Code:
	</td>

	<td width="150" valign="top" class="page" style="padding: $stylevar[cellpadding]px;">
		YOUR CONTENT HERE
	</td>

	</tr>
</table>
Save it.Edit the content in your side column exactly like the left column example above



1 last step for either type of installation,


In your Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> ? ? -> spacer_open


Replace all the code inside with this codes


Code:
<!-- open content container -->
<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td class="page" style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
<else />
	<div align="center">
		<div class="page" style="width:100%; text-align:$stylevar[left]">
			<div style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
</if>

Try add a <br /> tag at the end of each block or at the start of each new block

This is a very nice alternative to the side column hack. I just used it on a style I'm developing and I love it.

However, how would I go about preventing the footer from being pushed over as well?? Before I added this, the footer expanded the whole width of the forum. Doesn't look good this way

You can see what I mean here: http://www.themesbydesign.net/forums...php?styleid=64

Thanks for your help in advance.

I tried Alan, but I'm assuming there is a character limit on pm's and posts here, as I tried to post it here as well and it wouldn't take it all. I've placed it into a txt file and attached.

Thank you.
