Put a Column on the Left Side of Every Forum Page

This little PRODUCT will provide you with a template to put content in a column going down the left side of every forum page.

What you put there is limited only by your imagination.

This can easily be combined with the right column product to have a column on both sides.

To use this with the right column product , change the footer code to:

<!-- Right Column Code  -->
</td>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$rightcolumn</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- End Right Column Code -->

Changes in 1.1
Some very important changes were made to the header and footer template changes. Please modify your header and footer code to use the new version.

This is now a PRODUCT and not a plugin. Use the product manager to import it. If you are upgrading, copy the contents of your left_column template to notepad BEFORE you install the product. Then, replace the template contents with your backup.

This version now includes sample html in the left_column template. Thanks to iguanairs for that code.

Need some help please:

Trying to get adsense to display but no matter what we try nothing works? Can someone please post their google code that they used for it to work in the left column. Really appreciate it!! Thanks in advance.

Can this column be extended so that it's height = 100%

In other words the entire content flows right down to the footer?

I use it for banners but as you scroll down it leave a huge blank space on the left after the banner. Esp on long pages.

Thanks,

This is in deed a great mod but got a question for you all. How do you keep the additional Left Column off of VBAdvanced? Considering we are making these edits in the header and footer, is there a way to set it so they only show through the forums.
