Forum Home Enhancements - Right side column on forum home and forum display

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.

You can add "margin-right: 230px" to your add code .. but this will move the ad on all the pages you will have to IF statement to sort this.

Thanks for your help, it worked.

Say if want to show this on blogs:

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

Thanks - but since I'm no coder, I tried your workaround using 'postbit' instead of 'blog' and nothing happened.

How can I get the side column to appear on the postbit & postbit legacy templates?
