Side column on forumhome only

As Requested here

There are two versions of this mod.

Version One has the side column only down the side of the forum listings.

Version Two has the side column down the side of the forum listings and the whats going on box.

In both instances the instructions are practically the same, apart from the second template edit.

To prevent confusion, I have created two installation files according to which version you require.

To modify the side column, edit the template 'sidecolumn'. The info that is in there is simply a template for you to use. You do not need to use <table> tags in the template as they are included in the forumhome edits.

If you are unsure which version you require, take a look at the attached screenshots and see which one you prefer.

The file names are the version numbers.

Support is limited, and as such will only be provided to those who have clicked install as and when I am able to do so.


Important information regarding support - 20/04/06
Due to time constraints and the amount of things that are being planned for future modifications, priority support will now be provided here. Support provided in this thread will be on an as and when basis.

where's the right column version of this for 3.5.4? I go on your website and I can't seem to download it.

[peterska2]

It is only available on my site. Downloads on my site are only available to users in the vBulletin Users Group.

I have uploaded the zip file and extracted it but do I then put this in the xml root directory? I am a newbie and need some direction. I did manage to change the code in the Forumhome template but i think uploaded this in the wrong root directory.

The XML is imported through the Product Manager section of the admin control panel.

Go to Plugin System > Manage Products. On that page you will see a link to Add/Import Product. Click on there, then at the top there is a browse for file box the same as uploading attachments or avatars. Locate the file then click import.

Here is my link

I am totally lost with this. I use zip file and do not have a proper ftp program so i have been uploading files individually.

[peterska2]

those files are not to be uploaded.

if you would like me to take a detailed look, please PM me with an admin login for your site.

Thanks for all you help...I am clicking install now.

How do I install a link to a URL address in the column?

[peterska2]

edit the template 'sidecolumn' via your style manager and use HTML in there to add your content.

I don't want the web page to show on the forum home I just want the column (when clicked on) to go to a webpage in my website. I guess I could do that on the navbar....hmmm?
