Put a Column on the RIGHT side of every forum page · **Released**: 08-16-2005

Rather than clutter up the left column thread with this second product and confuse the issue further, I have made a separate product for those of you who want a column on the right side instead.

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

To use this with the left column product, change the header code to:

Code:

<!-- Left Column Code  -->
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">$leftcolumn</td>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Finally got this working. One question though... How do I get rid of the box surrounding the ad, which at the top says, "block user"? See screenshot.

in the right_column template

FIND

Code:

<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>&raquo; Block Name</b></span></td>
</tr>

DELETE IT.

I would like to use this EXACT hack. But as a left column. I like it blank so i can put google ads etc.

The other thread with the left column hack has seems to move the current navigation etc. Just need this plain right colum hack on the left. Possible?

Where do I find this "syntax"? I would like for the column to only show up on my main page as well.

hope that helps!

This is confusing. I am trying to make my vertical ads appear only on forum home, but not on any inside pages. I tried to follow these directions, but didn't find the code you were referring to. Can you further explicate?

Hello, when I click on the forum I would like for the right side column to remain either (a) on the right (b) just dissapear. Right now when I click on a forum it distorts the entire bottom of my page, the footer.

thanks..

Here's my code:

Header:

Code:

<!-- Right Column Code  -->
<table border="0" width="865" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Footer:

Code:

</td>
<td width="160" valign="top" align="left">
<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="130">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>My info here</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- Begin custom code -->
<!-- End custom code -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>My info here</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td color="#FFFFFF" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- Begin custom code -->
<!-- End custom code -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

It works perfect as a right colum. How do I move it to the left? Can I edit what's above?

Thanks

@ hydn, check the first post and there is a link to the left side version there.

@ jpfitness, see post #174 for how to stop the column from appearing on the portal, or check my profile for on forumhome only.

@ onewaydom, can you confirm exactly where you put the second template edit or if you have already resolved this. If it is not resolved, please also supply a test login for your site as it is not accessible to guests.
