I suspect its at the bottom of their header as they have a customized navbar at the top and have split the log in and search into the same table.

You will need to create it in a table to successfully float it to the right with the code.

I tried it on my test board with some success!

Could you or anyone please teach me how to do this?

And how do I create a "featured media" section. Please help!

Here's your code; I have placed mine at the bottom of navbar template

Remember I adjusted the td width to fit my forum width!

<table width="1050px" align="center">
<td width="335px" valign="top" align="right">
<div class="spacer_5px"></div>

They have created a Static HTML widget and inside this have placed various codes:

1) The slider is created by Michael Leigeber : http://www.scriptiny.com/2008/12/javascript-slideshow/

You probably need to use Cory Booths mod to pull your forum content utilizing his slider code.

2) The 5 images top right are just easily placed HTML

3) The mp3 player is from: http://www.mymusicstream.com/ which you will need to sign up and add your music and thus create a widget from them and use the code over at your forum.

I may take this up as a mini project, but it will be much later in the week as I am rather busy at the moment.

Hope this helps and good luck!

[hyperviperx99]

Thank you so much RobbieZ. I will try to work on this later. Peace

The mp3 player is more than likely a free script you can view the source for more info or a hint to the script name in the css or js etc. What you want to do is search here and then do some searching of your own then customize your cms to your liking .

And guys, that's why the OP posted... for us to help.. silly rabbits!

Really, that must explain the hundreds of unanswered posts in the General and Programming forums here on VB.org then.

I was not having a pop at the OP btw, around 18 months ago I was clueless with my shiny new vBulletin board, I found the best way was to jump in two feet first (On my test board of course), do some reading, then do some more reading and then read a good bit more, then just try things out and see what's what and how different plugins look and work, sure I had some help on here, but not much.

I've found my greatest friend for learning vBulletin has been Google.

I'm basically in the same position. Most of what I've learned has been from articles, google, breaking things (templates/php code/etc), searching for answers that have actually been posted on similar situtations, or just tearing other mods apart trying to figure out how they work. But, every now and then, I find something that I DO need help on, and ask here or on some of the other webmaster/modification/coding sites. It's bound to get answered somewhere....

Thanks

Where is Cory Booths mod?

[Da-Vinci]

OK, I don't know about this mod, but here's a tip for you.

At the top of the VB.org, you will see a link called Memberlist, click that. In the window that opens you will see a link that says Search Members and a drop down search box will open. Type into that cory.

A list will appear of member names that contain the word cory. At the bottom of that list you will see cory_booth
. Click his name and his member profile will open, near the bottom of the page his modifications will be listed and you will see this.
