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:

{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:

{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.

A1: You may edit the sc_css.css template to reduce/increase the size of column.

Hi there,
First of, gread mod! :up:

I'm just having some problems with the position, whenever I login it loses its original position, gettes a bit more to the top, aligning with the 'Post New Thread' button. I've attached a image to explain better what I mean, please tell me if there is any fix for that.

Another question, is there any way to change it from the rightside to the leftside?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi,
just to give an Idea how it might work to collapse.
I do have that as a goody for Users only.
I put a little symbol next to the personal Information.
Attachment 107184

On is visible / invisible Mod the other one is to collapse the sidebar (its still vb3).
The basic code is what vB is using to collapse Forums.

I have worked out how to collapse it ... I am waiting for vb4.0RC1 which might be out any time ... if there are any changes to the code we can sort it in one go.

The reason I left it on the top is because if you have any announcement/notices the forums will move up or down.
