Add this to the very end of navbar template:

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:

{vb:raw ss_rightcolumn_end}

Footer template after adding the 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.

22 Dec 09: Working with vBulletin 4.0.0 (Gold)

[Rafa-el]

Will this be fixed for vBulletin 4.0.3 ????

[sarangan]

Actually this doesn't works well with 4.0.3.. Please fix it ASAP.
Thank you.

[texasteamplayer]

works on mine.

?

[sarangan]

No it doesn't works well. Please see the attachment how it looks on Vbulletin 4.0.3 PL 1.
On this screenshot the first blue box is the space it gives :s The second box is the sidebar module. When I disable sidebar it doesn't gives that space.

This mod is working good on your website, I dont see any problems there.

If you are talking about the empty space in the 1st post of the thread, then it is a bug in vBulletin.

You can find the solution at vb.com.

This is great. I really needed this, thank you!

One question and I know it can sound silly but, what part of the code should I change to make it show up on the left instead of the right?

Just like it is works out great, but I need it to the left of the forum display and the others

Regards

This should help you: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230111

Thanks. Will try it out tomorrow, used to do this manually in vb3.x series.

If I disable forum blocks, will this be the only thing to the right of the forum?

I used to have some links and my sponsors on right side column, I hope it works out tomorrow.
(I just upgraded from vb3 to vb4)

[Nicke71]

It works great as I wanted, I dont want widgets etc, I want my links and banners on all forum pages.

I use 170 pixels width, so need to adjust the size to 170 instead of 200 pixels as now. My only problem I dont know where to edit your css file to adjust the width.

(I am new to VB4, only run it for a few days)
