Right (or left) side bar on forumhome

Desciption: This mod will add a right side bar (or left side bar) or divide the forum home into two columns. One with main forum info and additional ones for whatever info you want to add to. For my hack, the addtional column contains guest message, forum stats, user birthday, upcoming event and 1 custom cell.

Installation time: 5-10 mins
Template mod: 1
- FORUMHOME

Requested by exesko here


If you want to make your custom cell(s) collapsable, REPLACE:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">
			Your custom cell.
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Some text for your custom cell go here!</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

WITH:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_events')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_events" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_events].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			Your custom cell.
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Some text for your custom cell go here!</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

------
Click install if you use it.

I really like this idea, but I dunno how the add more custom cell
I'd like to add Currently Active Users, Who's in Chat?, bbs.metallifukinca.com Statistics and Tracker Statistics.
you can see what i'm talking about @ http://bbs.metallifukinca.com/index.php?
All that info gets lost at the bottom of the page.
Could someone help me out please?

thanks

Sorry for the late response, i haven't been on this site for so long.
Anyway, to add another custom cell, FIND:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">
			Your custom cell.
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Some text for your custom cell go here!</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

BELOW IT, ADD:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">
			Some Header Text
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Some texts go here.</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

check my first post for update on collapsable of your custom cell(s).

How would I add the latest 5 posts to my side bar? Not the full posts if possible, maybe just the first 100 characters or so?

np tnguy3n
HOw would I remove my stats and other info it the bottom of my forums?
Just cut it out of the forumhome and paste it into the right/letf bar?
