Right side column on forum home and forum display

As the title says this mod simply puts a column on forumhome and forumdisplay pages.

Installation:
Download the attached XML file.
Import the product.
Edit navbar and footer templates. (See below)

Add this to the very end of navbar template:

HTML Code:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_start}

PS. After edit the code above must be the last line in the navbar template.

Add the code below to the first line of footer template:

HTML Code:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

Footer template after adding the code:

Code:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
<div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}">
  {vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
  {vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
</div>
</vb:if>

......

Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_rightcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column.

Finally don't forget to click install.

Thanks to Lynne for additional css plugin code which I used in this modification.

PS. Do not use my side column mods together use only one.

I don't understand this part:

"Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_rightcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column."

Where do I edit the contents? Under vbulletin options? In the template editor?

Seven Skins · #73 12-23-2009, 08:57 PM

Yes in the template editor.
There will be new template group "Seven Skins" you will find the template in there.

Installed! Works great on Gold 4.0 PL1 Thanks!

Is there an "or" thing I can add to make it show up on the content management system page?

Seven Skins · #76 12-26-2009, 02:44 PM

You can edit ss_rightcolumn_end and ss_rightcolumn_start templates and add in the 2nd line .

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbcms'">

How do I update it???

Seven Skins · #78 12-26-2009, 07:26 PM

Save the contents of your columns in the text pad or something (So you dont lose your code).
Then overwrite the product .... and if necessary do template edits.

jnrdavo · #79 12-26-2009, 08:50 PM

can you add in random ad code?

I want to be able to place about 10 different ads in the block, in random order...

Sagua · #80 12-26-2009, 09:38 PM

Good work thanks...:up:

acanuck · #81 12-27-2009, 01:58 AM

Thanks for the awesome mod :-)
This is much better than the default one that comes with vb.

I have a question though...
I'm trying to display forum information in the side column
e.g. forumid, title. etc.

but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is the different code I tried using:

PHP Code:


			
forum{vb:raw forum.forumid}

or

$foruminfo['forumid']

or

{vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}

^
all not working

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
How can I display database fields in your mod right columns?
